When making ttrpg characters to play, it's very easy to just make your character "you" if you don't think about it or plan anything - you'll naturally revert to how you approach situations without conscious effort - however that means after a while your characters all start to feel the same.

If you want something that feels unique or different to your previous characters, the easiest way is to take some aspect of your personality and greatly over-exaggerate it, and build the character around that - This way you're still using some of your natural reactions and inclinations, so it's much easier of a role to inhabit than someone who's wholly different to you.

I really should add a couple of new T-shirt designs, it's been a while, maybe I'll make a Konsi shirt to celebrate comic 1000 :D

I did once have a patreon, but it lapsed - literally nobody signed up for it in over a decade. These days, I'd feel a little bad having a regular payment, considering how little content I actually produce.

I don't need any financial support to keep doing this, I'm lucky enough to not need financial support, and I draw to relax. The absolute best way to "support the comic" is to introduce more people to it, especially on bluesky. https://linktr.ee/ahdok for the social media streams I use.

If you really really want to put financial support towards me, there is a paypal link on the comic site, and also a few t-shirts at the "shop" link at the top - but again, I want to stress that the comic is not dependent on donations in any way.

Bonus Konsi?

 

But what if one of these sidequests has a good reward?

This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.

Konsi did have a necklace of fireballs for a while. She's used one of them, but eventually passed it off to Toron, since she has access to AOE magic anyway.

this is what the gauntlets of ogre power are for.

There's a lot of people here who are invested in the story now, I gotta keep them up to date!

I suppose you can have a bonus Konsi.

 

It's not easy, having a divine mission.

It's not particularly funny, other than as an extension of the current context. I needed to establish this as setup for the conversation I want the characters to have in the next strip.

Ongoing story be rough sometimes.

You still get a bonus Konsi though.

 

Konsi doesn't make the rules, she's gotta use those slots.

This one isn't much of a joke, it's instead providing opportunity for some upcoming character exposition.

It's actually a mimic disguised as a trouser press.

Some people suggested that breaking up tall comics into two images within the post body would help readability in their client, so here's that.

We're over the exposition hump now, so hopefully following comics will have smaller/fewer speech bubbles.

 

Apologies for tall comic again, I don't see a way in the lemmy interface to let me upload multiple images in one post (which would let me break it up.) - in the web interface, if you keep clicking on the image it'll become full size eventually, or you can open in a new tab and zoom in, or look at it at one of my other places

The spell Konsi's talking about is "Fortune's Favour" - it's level 2, consumes a 100gp pearl to cast, and lets you re-roll a single D20 within the next hour. It's in Explorer's Guide to Wildmount.

It's been a little while due to drawtober, and my website is (mostly) functional again, so if you want to read all the Konsi comics from the beginning, you can do so on my website at this link. Please be advised that these posts are presented in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.

This is Konsi, she's a DnD cleric who just wants to help people, but who suffers from imposter syndrome. I'm currently drawing her daily for drawtober.

Hope you all enjoy!

 

This is how every party healer feels inside.

 

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
