Working on a caster for dnd (much to @egirl-vrissy's delight since she's been trying trying to get me to play a caster for like. three years now unsuccessfully) right now, and currently fascinated by the "message" cantrip's implication that magic is a form of radiation since among other far thicker things, "a thin sheet of lead" can stop the spell from working. Rotating ideas in my mind about the worldbuilding potential of that wrt the fact that i LOVE when magic users' spells have a physical impact on them the more they use them and how this could be a really neat feature to implement.

It's not even relevant to my character cuz my guy isn't gonna use that cantrip but i DO think it's a fascinating implication and could be both horrific and VERY funny to look deeper into that for a future character.

Instead but equally interesting and to me personally very funny is that my guy is going to experience temporary madness when we finish battles cuz he doesn't like and can't handle physical violence or killing <3

#this was a choice i specifically asked for #he canonically cannot handle death or killing and i think it's very neat to make him deal with that with in game consequences <3 #squish roars aewin mumbles #putting this here instead of my main bc i will be drawing him and eventually <3 #i normally go for bonky beefy boys that are tanky and melee based because that's what i like #even my other caster character is more physical with the casting as a backup rather than the main play for her #but this character's personality was toooooo enticing i had to go with it #i am a 'personality creates the character' kind of guy when it comes to dnd #i build the personality first then the rest of everything like class and so on around That #and his personality just fit for a caster
