I guess I should post my comics here, rather than DnDMemes :)
Image Transcription:
Title: "DND characters I've been banned from playing."
A drawing of a smiling woman with pointed ears and a blond updo looks at us. She wears a green dress like a folded leaf, with yellow and blacked striped tights underneath. Bees buzz around her.
Caption: "Swarm druid with beehive hairstyle, but it's a real beehive."
A drawing of a red-skinned person with horns and yellow eyes without pupils reads from a book. Cards float above their hand. Their robe bears a red B symbol, in the style of the D&D Beyond logo.
Caption: "Warlock who is directly pacted to Wizards Of The Coast."
A drawing of a zombie-like person in tattered clothes holding a staff made of bones looks at us. The staff glows green.
Caption: "Necromancer who raised themselves from the dead, and now has to maintain the spell."
A drawing of a person-sized mechanical snake with a drill bit for a tail and a piece of wire as a tongue.
Caption: "Warforged druid who wildshapes by physically reconfiguring their body."
A drawing of a large cloud of red and yellow energy, with a tiny silhouette of a person with arms outstretched at the center.
Caption: "Wizards."

I'll probably post some of my more popular comics to support this project, but... maybe only a couple a week so as to not flood the place :D
I really like the warforged druid concept. Very beast wars to me lol
And if you take 3 levels of armorer you can have your armor change to fit your new form to have a good AC and shoot lightning as you slither around as a robosnake
I love these ideas! I'll l have to check out your website. 15/10 artwork.
That first one reminded me of a story I heard at a small SF convention in LA back in the '90s.
This writer was working on The Real Ghostbusters (long story behind that name) and in the episode they go in the space shuttle to a space station. Everyone on the space station is a Star Trek character analog and so hilarity ensues as the rest of the episode is just a Star Trek spoof.
One of the characters is based on Janice Rand who, in the show, had a basket-weave hairdo. The writer included in the script a note to the animators about her hair. The animators were Asian and did not know what a basket-weave was, and it being pre-Wikipedia, they just made an assumption. The test animation they got back had the Janice Rand-alike with a basket literally woven into her hair.
They kept it in the final episode, of course.
Edit: found it, at about 2:30 https://www.crackle.com/watch/d4228840-874e-418c-afd7-a9b93146e6ed/the-real-ghostbusters/ain't-nasa-sarily-so
I tend to have a habit of looking at all the tools I have, and using them to the greatest possible effect I can...
I played "Princes of the Apocalypse" with a Pyrophobic Librarian called Neff, who refused to take most evocation spells - the entire table accused me of sandbagging by refusing to take fireball...
Let me tell you, half the bosses in the campaign were unable to act, because every spell they cast was counterspelled by a tiny gnome with spell slots not being reserved for DPS. The other half of the bosses suffered from being extraplanar entities hit by the banish spell with a 100% guaranteed success rate. My DM refuses to let anyone play diviner ever again.
Let's see what this terror of the module looks like.

The worst trick I sat on, and I saved it entirely for the final boss fight.
DM's like "here's the final boss, I gave them a huge number of legendary saves so you can't just banish them"
Let me tell you, the noise a DnD table makes when you say "uh DM, please don't roll initiative for the final boss, I'd like them to roll a 1 thank you." gold.
