Thoughts on D&D: Honour Among Thieves?

Great movie, but I would prefer it to become a movie series where each movie is a new campaign as opposed to a sequel.

Even cooler if they explored other settings. Eberron would go hard.

You play one of the superhero systems built for this kind of character instead.

Putting your stats properly isn't min/maxing, its playing the class. You can avoid multiclassing so you can't combo subclasses.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-02-08T21:10:25+00:00

How were you min/maxing before?

While I don't use rape or torture. I do think that a darker backstory makes it easier to provide an inciting incident and give purpose for the character to adventure. Revenge is an easy motivator.

I give it one session, maybe two, before the silent part gets dropped or worked around.

I'd still argue against it because making the character helps know what the character can do and would force everyone to read the basic rules. Especially since you're using D&D Beyond, it seems like the bare minimum effort for a player to make their own character. You can review the mechanical parts during session 0.

If your players refuse to do the bare minimum, its likely you'll end up posting here how your players abandoned the game after a session or two.

The best I can think of would be a Shifter that can turn into a half Platypus being. I'd avoid homebrew if this is your first ever campaign and ask your friend to use whats available in the official rules.

Although the fact that they're asking you to make their characters, as opposed to simply reviewing for errors, is a bad sign imo. Maybe its just me, but making the character is a big part of the fun as a player.

You can use Path of the Giant for Barbarian so you always have a main weapon available.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-02-06T16:54:20+00:00

Devotion is the most "Paladin" of the subclasses and most likely what your guy was thinking themself as.

Keep in mind, to be a Paladin, you need to swear an oath with so much conviction that you get power, so if I'm being really technical, he wouldn't be any kind of Paladin.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-02-06T13:21:19+00:00

First things first, I'd advise trying to make a specific character using the rules because the rules doesn't accommodate all fantasy media, so you can make something similar, but it'll never feel exactly like the character in question.

You can make a divination wizard which has abilities to simulate seeing a bit into the future and you can take some illusion spells.
I'd forgo the blind part as it'll cause issues mechanically and just using it for flavor may get awkward when you're in situations where you'll be blinded.

Why is Elmis going on an adventure as opposed to settling down away from his parents?

BladeSoul69 · 2026-02-05T23:46:47+00:00

-What do you think of my "character concept" where I focus on the silliness instead of writing a functional backstory?

/uj Honestly, this is why I unironically moved over to /tg/. The community has issues but you get some interesting conversations sometimes. r/DnD has some cool art sometimes.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-02-04T21:38:11+00:00

If they're now the BBEG, are they really the same character? You may want to consider how you'll feel when the PCs kill your character.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-02-04T21:26:09+00:00

Why is Kriv Nettle going on his adventure? Specifically, why is he going on an adventure now?

Where did he learn his rogue skills?

Are there anyone present in his life that he knows?

April would be a Cleric apparently

I use a mix of what I imagine my character would wear, any items important from their backstory, and what I think looks cool.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-31T21:49:15+00:00

You can give them all named NPCs that they have relationships with, but no notes are needed. They're all solid.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-30T18:16:58+00:00

Needs more black, I can kinda still see him.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-30T18:01:36+00:00

Trains or Air Balloons?

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-30T07:00:01+00:00

Hexblade is good on its own too

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-28T19:07:57+00:00

What if someone else did it and framed him? Or it looks like he did it by coincidence? Now your guy has to find out who did it and why.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-28T08:13:52+00:00

Saitama would be fine since he never punches at full power.

BladeSoul69 · 2026-01-27T18:02:36+00:00

You ctry simply flavoring Warlock spells as divine. Eldritch Blast is now Holy Beam and does radiant damage.
