-PLAYER INFORMATION:- [Name: Dwarf] [Age: 25] [primary source of contact: DISCORD {U/N: dwarf0gamer}] [Favorite Class: Artificer] [Personality: Kind, but also tries to be fun and engaging. I don't like to be left out of much and wanna get as involved as I could be.] [Experience: Moderate amount, I don't know EVERYTHING and I can't say I know enough to be a addicted DND player BUT I know enough to get started and have a smidge of Homebrew.] [Question you are probably asking, Why a tank and why should I bring something so OP into my game?: Well I want a tank for my dwarf yes BUT I don't want something OP like a REAL tank. the tank in question is around the size The Badger Assault tank in real life Except instead of a explosive cannon or some OP stuff like that, it starts out with a crossbow attached to the front of it. so it would probably be dishing out at around 1d10 DMG per attack. the AC value of it is probably gonna be up to you as the GM to help make it =not broken=, and during long journeys I will have to roll a d20 flat to determine whether or not it breaks down since the tank in question IS A PROTOTYPE. I am also willing to trade in any starting weapons for this tank and I am willing to chat about it so please feel free to hit me up if you have the ability to put me into your game! Any upgrades going towards the tank can ONLY be requested for by another artificer's aid, a d20+INT to get the idea for the upgrade, and the money used to commission a expert blacksmith or a expert magic user to craft the parts together to allow me to start on the upgrade. That is what I wanted when I said, can my dwarf Artificer have a 1-person tank! Hope this idea intrigues you!] -CHARACTER DETAILS- [Character Name: Thram Oakenshield] [Age: 152 years] [Class: Artificer] [Background: Once a revered member of the esteemed Dwarf clan, our fantasy Dwarf artificer possessed an unparalleled talent for craftsmanship and invention. Whispers of his unrivaled skill and meticulous attention to detail echoed throughout the dwarven halls. It was during his time with the clan that he ventured deep into the ancient libraries, pouring over ancient tomes and discovering forgotten blueprints of the legendary war machines that once protected their strongholds. Inspiration struck our artificer like a hammer upon an anvil, as he stumbled upon sketches of ancient wooden chariots adorned with intricate stonework. Intrigued, he delved deeper into the history of these war machines while studying the nature manipulation magic known only by the Dwarves. Combining his mastery of craftsmanship with a newfound understanding of mana manipulation, he visualized a revolutionary creation within his mind's eye. And thus, the idea for the wooden and stone tank was born. He tirelessly worked in secrecy within his makeshift workshop, gathering the necessary materials from the lush forests and rough quarry mines that surrounded his clan's dwellings. With each piece carefully handcrafted, he skillfully constructed the tank's wooden frame, reinforced by sturdy stone plates. The intricate stonework and runic engravings served not only as aesthetic accents but imbued the tank with protective enchantments. Knowing that magic would be the key to its propulsion and projectile power, he searched for the finest mana crystals known to the Dwarven kingdom. Acquiring the vibrant gems, he meticulously integrated them into the machine's core, fashioning an intricate mana engine to harness their raw power. To unleash its destructive force, the freelance artificer devised a way to channel the energy stored within the mana crystals into a mechanical firing mechanism. The wooden and stone tank featured a retractable arrow launcher that could rotate in any direction, allowing for optimal targeting and versatility on the battlefield. With his engineering expertise, he ensured that the arrows could be launched at an astonishing velocity, rivaling the speed of magical projectiles. However, the murmurs of his unauthorized project eventually reached the ears of the clan's council, who dismissed his independent endeavors as heresy against traditional Dwarven craftsmanship. The disillusioned artificer found himself banished from his clan, forever severed from the community he had once called family. Undeterred, he now wandered the realms as a freelance Artificer for hire, showcasing his remarkable creation to potential clients who marveled at the ingenuity behind his wooden and stone tank. Dwarves and non-Dwarves alike were captivated by its elegant design, formidable firepower, and the unmatched craftsmanship that had come to define the artificer's work a nd so, armed with his new identity and the legacy of the tank he created, the artificer wandered the land, seeking opportunities to construct and innovate, forever harnessing his inspiration even in the face of rejection from his own kind. (Yes this character is made by a AI, mainly due to the fact that I cannot pay enough for a artist to draw every character I make for DnD. Wish I could but I ain't rich AND I don't like doing Physical descriptions, takes to long and will melt my brain trying to get it just right.)
