#Blink Dog

[psiherer]

I love DnD, but most of my life I've been a DM, and not a player. This changed relatively recently, since I finally got invited to play in a campaign by a friend. This campaign has been running for about a year now, and oh boy... I'm having a blast with it.

I present to you, Dee!

He's half-dragon and half-couatl (technically possible in lore, I think, and I always loved both). He's a bard/druid multiclass, since the idea was to build him with the abilities that mirror his parents. He's supposed to be a shapeshifter, but giving him unlimited shapechange would be super boring, so instead it's handled by druid's wildshape and various spells, so mechanically he's just a guy.

He never met his real parents, and the only person who taught him the basics of living was a weird half-elf musician with a very hard to remember face. Dee ventured out into the world to return his lute, but after some character development, that old lute got smashed. Dee, after weeks of study and work between adventures, made himself a new lute, that was fully his (though I'm still working on the design).

The group consists of Dee, a kobold psi-fighter, and a blink dog nature domain cleric (speaking through a magical charm on his collar). They travel by a wagon, provided to them by their employer, and keep solving mysteries, which doesn't help with the Scooby Doo gang allegations.

At some point Dee also learned to switch to legs. Good for him, he's travel sized now

Also at some point our group found a weird raven-themed hivemind spirit who needs bodies to exist, since he lacks his own. We convinced it to try communism, and he's protecting a village now (my favourite character so far, to be honest).

There was a moment when Dee was considering staying with the raven spirit, to help guide him, and protect the village. His friends didn't let Dee retire this early, but I still made this as a 'what if' scenario:

Dee if he stayed behind and turned emo, basically.

That's about it! If you made it this far, congratulations with being cursed by my dnd oc lore. There will be more. This is a threat.

Mezzoloth (left) are 7 foot (2.1 m) abyssal mercenaries that rarely think about anything except reward and violence. If you're into insects and exoskeletons, this ones for you!

The Blink dog on the right looks like a large dog, but it's actually a teleporting fey. It's fluent in 2 languages! Just can't actually articulate anything but "blink dog," which I assume is barking.

Decima's Weird Blinkdog. He's made of copper and porcelain. He's pretty engaging if a bit of a subservient yesman. Speaks the scratchspeech of Phyrexia. A good-ish boy rescued from a dog funeral.

Can turn small animals inside out via teleportation, thus "Full-Body Prolapse" technique.

D&D session idea:

You get hired by a noblewoman to watch her blink dog(s).

The dwarfs and Sergeant Stick were from a story idea I had based in Eberron. It had themes about disability and expectations. The dwarfs Uropod and Telson were crab farmers, because you don't normally see dwarfs on the sea. Uropod had his nose broken by a fish, giving him breathing problems and nasal issues. Sergeant Stick was a human with achondroplasia in a world with fantasy dwarfs. Unfortunately I didn't quite nail down the look.

Below them are some kappas not directly based on illustrations like before.

The grendling (a plurification of Grendel) was partly based on the dragon transformation from Dark Souls. Then there's some snake and a blink dog, one bad and one good. I decided the blink dog would be more vision-oriented than audio or scent, as they need to immediately take in their surroundings when teleporting.

A 4'×5' felt blanket made of blink dog fur; it occasionally teleports three feet to the right of its current location.

This post and its notes are crossing my dash again like a gift to myself from the past. I had missed this before — I need to go look up a fic.

Lewis Pulsipher’s rules for playing a pack of blink dogs as a single player character in AD&D (from “My Life as a Werebear:  D&D Monster Character Classes”, White Dwarf 17, Feb/Mar 1980; with Tom Wham’s illustration)  The same article covered werebear, lammasu, and stone giant PCs.
