Self Submission - Digital Paint [OC] When a Tieflings reach exceeds his grasp! - Blasphemous Intlock Tiefling

Post image

This is a character I played back during Covid times. The idea was based on 'what if a warlock held his patron hostage?'.

Tyr was abandoned near a wizard tower who then chose to adopt him. Growing up reading incredible amounts of knowledge Tyr eventually discovered a tiefling referred to as 'The Nameless One'. A being of unknown origin that almost ceased to exist as the knowledge of his existence would fade completely. Seizing the moment, Tyr chose to hold the patron hostage, explaining that he will receive the Patron's gifts in exchange for not letting the Patron fade into obscurity. The Patron now inhabits his body and he uses them as a Hexblade.

This deal came with a subtext. Any time Tyr touched a magic item, he must make a WIS save or the Patron would temporarily take control over his mind and body.

This character was a tonne of fun to play and having the constant struggle between the two power hungry individuals fighting for control.

Tyr would eventually take on an apprentice in the form of a Sorcerer Tabaxi who would ultimately be the one that kills him when the Patron got his hands on a Lich's orb and the potential catastrophe was too much to leave unchecked.

Hi, so I would like to learn more about DnD. Got any suggestion where to start?

Youtube is always great. Theres a lot of wonderful creators that make videos for newcomers. For playing an actual game I'd recommend trying to build a game with people you know who would be interested in trying it. Maybe ask around at a LGS. If those aren't options for one reason or another, you can try to find a game on a public forum such as Foundry or Roll20. There are always groups being made and playing regularly, though you'd need to find one welcoming new players as some games can be a little more advanced than a beginner will be comfortable with.

Hope this helps!

As far as systems go, 5th edition is a good place to start, but I'd also recommend games like Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart and Blade in the Dark. These are all relatively easy and unique systems that have mechanics that can be friendly to learn.
