[obligatory third choice]

I don't know

Can you repeat the question?

Never tell novice players that they have agency over the overall plot, unless you're willing to brave the shitstorm.

Never have more NPCs than PCS participate in combat at any one time

Don't be a dick

Have the total number of non-PC combatants never exceed 3 if you're not using a board. If you're using a board never exceed a dozen.

Always tell Players that they're not the only heroes.

Guess ill start my setting use the standard dnd planar cosmology with old ones exiting in the far realm but aspects of them can appear in the material plane with rituals and shit. Ive tried my hand at fleshing sa couple of these old ones out and i so far have, The Ossified Matron whos all about bones and skeletal structures (i flavor warlocks of her as controlling skeletons with their hold person type spells and their telepathy sound like knocking on the inside of the skull). Then we got the One of Many Tentacles (standard old god spooky tentacle shit for when u wanna be generic). One that i partially stole from a tg post a while ago called the Infinite Pattern which is a very specific pattern that when studied for too long drives people mad and the pattern speaks to them.(warlocks of this always leave marks with their spells in this pattern). The All Seeing Blindness whose cultist tear out their own eyes and are if lucky granted true sight this ones all about finding out the truth behind things and being able to see it (of course some things aren't men't to be seen). And the Beast of The Depths a horrifying amalgamation of shark, octopus, wale, plesiosaur , angler fish and triton. (cultists and warlocks of this one often devolvep obsessions with drowning their victims)

Huge monstrous creatures that live hidden away from humans, however they use avatars in the form of humans to control politics (kill someone and replace them with an identical avatar).

They do like this because in the backstory of the world there were huge wars between humans and old ones where, as old ones cannot reproduce, every time the empires army killed one (which is extremely difficult and takes an entire army), they would have lost a significant part of their forces that they'll never get back.

That's a beautiful story.

My Dark Heresy character still carries around the needle he used to stitch up his ganger father as a child. Partly out of grimy nostalgia, partly because it's a damn fine needle to have stayed sharp this long.

my halberd is a symbol of office

My DnD character has a cold-iron dagger his dad gave him to protect himself

He mostly avoids using it because he doesn't want to blunt it

The second one I found is of

"Camba Crusa" or "Came-cruse", which litteraly means raw leg

It is a severed leg, often described as still pouring blood from time to time, with an eye on its knee, that jumps around and eats those fool enough to be outside after dark near a cemetery.

Drawings often add details like this one with bat wings, but the only consistent things in the tales are the leg and the open eye.

The third one from France

The "Ankou" [ɑ̃ku]

It's the French version of the Reaper, which is kind of different though because there was, according to the legend, one Ankou for each region, even each church.

In fact, it was the last person to die on one year that became the Ankou for the next year. he is described as a tall, slim man with long white hair and a smile that extended from one ear to another. He does not have eyes but in his orbits there are two lit candles. He often wears old clothes and pants rolled up to his knees like farmers, and has a large hat on his head to hide his terrifying features.

He carries wether a sort of blessed hammer or a scythe which has the sharp-cutting edge on the outside of the blade instead of inside like farmers.

He is seen and/or heard pulling a cart full of dead bodies only when someone is about to die, and it is said that ones who see the Ankou will die during the year.

The Wolpertinger is a rabbit with parts of different animals, usually antlers, duck wings and fangs but everything goes.
It shows up in bavarian folklore, but only after 15 beer.

Rate my character idea.

>kobold bard, who gets by on his draconic Charisma, in spite of his terrible singing

>it turns out that he's actually a merchant, who primarily uses his magic to make back shady alley deals, which is why he never seems to have spell slots when there's a battle

>It turns out that he's actually a she, and humans are just shit at telling reptile sexes apart

>it turns out that a surprising number of halflings and gnomes are attracted to reptiles, and her side business has a healthy dose of prostitution

>it turns out that she's actually a warlock, and the deals she's been cutting have been to collect souls for her patron

I want to go a level deeper, but this is where I run out of ideas

I also am fine with taking out level 4 if that would be too weird, this isn't really my magical realm or anything

>>50273660

I know it isn't your magical realm...but it really, really feels like your magical realm.
