I mean.... I can play a flumph in this game feasibly. I kinda gotta at least apply.
Name: Francis Race: Flumph Class: Spellcaster (cleric) Background: Francis was a small Flumph when he met Dave. Young and precocious he was always getting into trouble in the underdark. His cloister honestly had no idea what to do with him. He loved to explore and become something of an expert on where to find all the coolest stuff in the underdark. His sidekick story is pretty straight forward. He was floating around the underdark all irresponsibly when a roper attacker him. Caught in the creature's tentacles he was almost eaten until Dave showed up at the last moment, like he does, and slew the abberation. Francis was so overjoyed that he took Dave back to his cloister. Where they were more then happy to assist Dave in his quest. To find a very specific strider cobbler. Francis acted as Dave's guide for the adventure knew that this was the life for him. His cloister knew it was best for him and sent him on his way with well wishes and promises that he would always have a home to come back to. Francis quickly became quite helpful to the Dave. He was smart and stuff and even knew how to cast spells like a cleric. His hobbies include: reading, floating around peoples heads, glomping on peoples heads, glomping inanimate objects, dancing, putting on light shows with his glow appendages. Appearance: Imagine a small cute flying jellyfish with big googly eyes. That is Francis. Last edited by mjb; Dec 29th, 2018 at 10:13 PM. |

RAW, no. You are a construct, not a humanoid. But, you're a construct that looks like a humanoid, with hands that have opposable thumbs and such, and we see suits of armor lining castle halls holding weapons all the time. So, in this case, I would think it would be appropriate to allow.

Too bad I can't make animated gifs otherwise I'd do a dancing armor suit for a pic.

Still a little uncertain of the rules. We basically just take the creatures from the monster manual and past the class features on top of the ones they already have in the manual?

Race: Giant Octopus (Awakened) Class: Spellcaster (Wizard) Backstory: Five years ago fishermen off the coast of Fishermanland pulled up a giant octopus and put it up for auction, the winning bid (fifteen silvers!) came from a mysterious figure in a hooded cloak; Ruthless Rob, evil Wizard. Rob rocked back his head and uttered an evil laugh as the auctioneers gavel fell. "The world will be mine!" he cackled, wheeling away the mollusk on a hand truck. Rob cackled all the way back to his evil lair in the mountains (which was a rather long way to cackle) where he plopped the octopus into giant fish tank and began to chant. For hours the wizard chanted, hours! He didn't even stop for a drink of water or anything, and Podrik started to notice a change coming over him, for example, he realized his name was "Podrik". He realized some other things as well: words besides "Podrik" such as "fish" and "eat" and "want" and soon all the rest of the words too. "It's alive, it's alive!" rasped Ruthless Rob, throat quite sore from chanting for eight hours. "Well, I was alive before." Podrik corrected. "It's pedantic! Creature, you are going to do my bidding! You shall heed by every command without question or complaint! No task will be beneath you! You shall live in squalid conditions with no compensation! You shall endure cruel and inhuman treatment! You will be degraded, discouraged, and disenfranchised! You shall be... my intern!" "I mean, sure, okay. Can we talk about benefits and long-term..." "SILENCE FOOL!" Rob screeched, and zapped Podrik with a corrective bolt of lightning. "You will begin by brewing me a Potion of Awakening! With cream and two sugars!" And so began Podrik's enslavement at the hands of Ruthless Rob. It went on like this for years, Podrik doing menial tasks around the lab for Rob, getting zapped whenever he made a mistake or sometimes just when Rob was feeling particularly ruthless. Rob refused to give Podrik any on-the-job training, but Podrik was able to sneak a peek into his spellbook here and there, practicing his spellcasting when Rob wasn't looking. He never got very good at it, but what do you expect? In the meanwhile he had learned to make the Potion of Awakening just the way Rob liked it, which seemed to be his primary function. Most importantly, he learned when Rob was in a very bad mood. Then one morning Rob was in a very bad mood. "Foiled again!" he screeched, looking around to zap Podrik who was already hiding behind a pile of orbs. "Damn that Dangerous Dave!" Rob kicked over a cage, and laboratory rats skittered everywhere. "The fool thinks he can defeat me? Fool! I'll set a trap, yes, a deadly trap. Full of... of... death! Yes! I will destroy him once and for all!" And so he began to work on plans for his Deadly Death Dome. Well accustomed to his master's mood swings, Podrik knew it was safe to emerge, and that Rob probably wanted his Potion of Awakening. "Podrik!" he soon hollered "Get me my..." but Podrik had already made it, and set it on his desk wordlessly. As always, Rob said not a word of thanks. Days later, Dangerous Dave walked bravely into the Deadly Death Dome and became trapped within. "Fool!" Rob taunted, "There is no escape!" cackling maniacally as Dave faced off against monster after monster inside the dome. He was dangerous, that's for sure, but he couldn't last forever, and escape was impossible. Or was it? Because Podrik had seen all the plans, and he was pretty sure he could get him out of there. And so Podrik did the one thing he knew was the point of no return, the one thing Rob would never forgive, the thing that would earn him days of torture and an agonizing death: Podrik made decaff. Rob collapsed onto his table mid-cackle and Podrik lept (well, oozed) into action, pulling open the cleaning hatch on the Deadly Death Dome and breaking Dangerous Dan free. "Thank you, mollusk!" Dave said, and Podrik felt a warm glow inside him the likes of which he had never before felt. At that moment, he knew he would follow this man anywhere. And he did, first following Dave over to Rob's desk where he was still passed out. Dave shook him awake, then yelled "It's over Bad Bob!" as he punched him in the face. "Argh, physical injury, my only weakness!" hissed Rob as he crumpled to the ground. "Again, I saved the day!" Dave congratulated himself "And you helped." He wrapped a manly arm around Podrik. "What's your name, Podrik?" "Podrik." "Have you ever thought about being a sidekick, Podrik?" "Alright, well can we talk about benefits and long-term..." "Great!" Dave shouted "Welcome to the team!"

But remember some CR 1 or less creatures come with restrictions inherent to their being: For example, I chose Animated Armor. It can't talk originally. So it can only take warrior sidekick class as you need to start with a language to be an Expert or Spellcaster. If you were to take a twig blight as a Spellcaster, it couldn't cast spells with a verbal component. While it originally understands Common it can't speak as per its stat block.

Sounds interesting. Won't the group basically be an adventuring party though? It will follow around PC on his adventures, but they'll all have class levels and abilities and obviously be trying to keep him alive.
Death Dog or Pseudodragon look good at first glance. Will Pseudodragon invisibility be too OP? |

Question for fearless leader: could the Alter Self spell be used to invert the Aquatic Adaptation use? IE, giving an aquatic creature the ability to breathe air and a walking speed equal to their swimming speed.
Also, how many draft horses would it take to pull a wagon with a 10/10/10 aquarium? |

I found this site for the weight of a tank with water. 10 foot x 10 foot, with water, would be around 66 thousand pounds!
