  1. Good Morning, Folks. Last night during sibling time, I ripped the band-aid off and went through the annoying process of respeccing my Paladin from Thorns to Arbiter/Blessed Hammer, and it has made a massive difference.

  5. Morning Folks. Monday, the #Diablo4 expansion dropped, and for the first bit, I dealt with pretty frequent disconnects. I talk about this and how I abandoned #Warlock early on and returned to #Paladin.

  8. Meet Aldric.

    He turned eighteen in the dark, which is how he would have
    preferred to spend it -- quietly, without incident, without
    anyone dying. He had gotten good at that. Staying small. Staying
    away from the edges of things. He had watched his mother go
    slowly and his father go suddenly and everyone else in between
    go badly, and he had taken careful notes on all of it without
    meaning to, and what the notes said was: it hurts, and it takes
    a long time, and it means nothing about you except that it
    happened.

    The god did not introduce itself. It did not ask. It told him
    what he was going to do and it did not wait for him to agree and
    it did not offer him anything for the trouble and when it was
    done speaking the room was just a room again and Aldric was
    still in it, alone, the same as he had always been except now there was a direction.

    He is not brave. He wants to be clear about that, in case
    anyone is keeping track. He knows what swords do to bodies
    because he has seen what smaller things do to bodies, and he is
    not interested in finding out what the last part feels like from
    the inside. But the god said go, and there is no one left to
    stay for, and so he is going. Quietly. Terrified. One foot and
    then the other, into whatever is waiting, which he is trying
    very hard not to think about.

    Aldric is a Paladin who did not ask to be one, built along the
    lines of Oath of Glory less because he believes in it and more
    because something does, and has decided he's the vessel. He
    looks like someone who has been bracing for bad news long enough
    that it has become his resting posture -- cautious eyes, careful
    hands, the kind of stillness that reads as calm until you know
    what it actually is. In combat he fights like a person who is
    acutely aware that damage is real, which makes him precise and
    not particularly reckless, and which makes his Divine Smites
    feel less like power and more like desperation with good timing.
    At the table he is the one asking whether this is actually
    necessary, and then doing it anyway, every time.

  10. Meet Daz'Throol, Knight of Rix-Cave, Protector of the Green Shield, Master of the Staff of Throol.

    There are people who protect others because they have to. Because it's their duty, their oath, their job. Daz'Throol does it because he cannot do otherwise. Something in him -- something ancient and immovable -- simply will not allow the weak to fall while he still stands.

    He is calm. Almost unnervingly so. He speaks quietly, moves deliberately, and carries himself with the kind of stillness that makes a room feel safer just by him being in it. He will listen to your problem. He will consider it fully. And if that problem involves something trying to hurt you, he will step in front of it.

    He will always step in front of it.

    His war pick and the Staff of Throol are tools, not trophies. The Green Shield, which protects him as he protects others, is worn with the ease of something earned. His chain mail covers his torso, plate covers his legs, and in his nose hangs the ring that carries both his holy symbol and the signet of his order -- present and visible, a reminder of what he is and who he answers to.

    He does not raise his voice. He does not need to. When the calm breaks, you'll know.

    Daz'Throol, Knight of Rix-Cave, Protector of the Green Shield, Master of the Staff of Throol, is a Loxodon Paladin, level 10. He controls the battlefield, absorbs punishment, and keeps his party standing. His presence at the table is that of an anchor: patient, immovable, and absolutely certain of his purpose.

  19. Steel Arctus – Dreamruler Review

    By Andy-War-Hall

    Brothers, you need power metal in your life. No, you do. You need authentic positivity shot straight into your cynic-rotten hearts, now. Most fortunate for you, Greek power metallers Steel Arctus have graced this year of 2025 with their third album Dreamruler, marking the third entry into the chronicles of their titular hero Steel Arctus. 2020’s Fire and Blood detailed the origins of Steel Arctus and his girlfriend Red Sonja the Arcadian Lady, 2022’s Master of War saw him delve into the fires of Hades and now Dreamruler sees him challenge the titular Dreamruler in his evil world of dreams to rescue his bodacious muse. Though the first two albums were good, Steel Arctus only grazed greatness a few times in their young career. Is Dreamruler the one that’ll bring them there? Hold your hammers high.

    Steel Arctus are sworn to the flame of metal glory, and Dreamruler carries that fire by way of anthemic power metal. Dreamruler is imbued with the fantasy-minded songwriting of Dio, the epic vocal acrobatics of Lost Horizon and the fist-balling machismo of Judas Priest and Visigoth. “Riding through the Night” sees Steel Arctus fuse Judas Priest grit and Nocturnal Rites hookiness, “Fate of the Beast” marries Stratovarius neoclassical-isms with Paladin riffing and “Will to Power” embodies so much Manowar that I’m surprised Manowar never wrote it. Steel Arctus harness these influences into lean, catchy tunes that—while never feeling totally original, obviously—feel deeply energized and alive. Just hearing the Lost Horizon bloopy synths and grandeur of “Defender of Steel,” the Iced Earth thrash-power of “Cry for Revenge,” and the Savatage class and nastiness of “Dreamruler” evoked that sense of first getting into metal again. Listening to Dreamruler is listening to everything Steel Arctus love distilled into forty-seven minutes of heavy metal bliss.

    This mimicry of established styles wouldn’t work so well if Steel Arctus weren’t incredible musicians. Thankfully, guitarist Nash G. churns out quality riffs like it’s nothing, bringing beefy grooves to “Will to Power” and nimble plucking on “Fires of Death”. While extremely technical and wah-heavy (“Fires of Death”), G.’s solos avoid hollowness through a melody-first approach; just hear those twins on “Dreamruler” or how “Wicked Lies” plays with the riff beneath it. Drummer Minas Chatziminas crushes his kicks (“Defender of Steel”) while fitting in cool tom and cymbal work (“Riding through the Night”) and just enough kick variation for some rhythmic interest (“Dreamruler”), while bassist Strutter (Wardrum) lays down thick-toned bass runs throughout Dreamruler and even leads on “Wicked Lies.” But vocalist Tasos Lazaris (Fortress Under Siege, White Wizzard) is the leader of this quest called Dreamruler, as his incredible range (“Legend of the Warrior”,) power (“Cry for Revenge”) and charisma (“Glory of the Hero”) sharpen the hooks of Dreamruler and give Steel Arctus a commanding presence. Put together, and Dreamruler’s an outstandingly fun romp worthy of Steel Arctus’ many influences.

    The only blemish on Dreamruler is that the ending isn’t a smash success. The penultimate “Legend of the Warrior” opens in dramatic fashion, replete with swirling synths, plucked clean guitar and spoken narration à la Lost Horizon that really sounds like Steel Arctus are building towards a true epic conclusion akin to “Highlander (The One).” Instead, it and the closing instrumental “Onar (όναρ),”1 move through mid-paced crawls that leave Dreamruler with a minor case of anticlimax. They’re not bad songs— “Legend of the Warrior” features Lazaris’ most dynamic performance and “Onar (όναρ)” sounds genuinely restorative in its pleasantness—but with how much pathos Steel Arctus weave into their music I think Dreamruler would’ve benefited from a bigger, grander finale. Steel Arctus can tell a story: I have no idea what happens in Dreamruler narrative-wise, but when Lazaris commands “Hammer Highyaaa!” on “Defender of Steel,” who needs a plot? I’m right there anyway.

    Steel Arctus have leveled up tremendously on Dreamruler, and anyone with even a smidgen of appreciation for power metal should give this a spin. They don’t do anything new or novel whatsoever on Dreamruler, and, yeah, these are the most generic power metal song titles imaginable, but Steel Arctus hammered their way into greatness by sheer force of will anyway—along with amazing performances and adept songcraft, of course. Everything about Dreamruler is wholehearted, from Steel Arctus’ celebration of heavy metal’s past to their overwhelming showmanship. This is music of gigantic melancholy and gigantic mirth and easily one of, if not the year’s best power metal albums.

  20. Diesen Elf-Paladin habe ich bei Thingiverse gefunden und ausgedruckt.
    Ich habe mit PET-G und 0.07mm Schichtdicke gedruckt.
    Das Entfernen der Supports ist etwas Arbeit. Außerdem ist das Stringing etwas unschön.
    Der Druck hat ca. 8 Stunden gedauert.

  21. CW: Werewolf paladin marked with a bit of blood and gore protecting an elven child

    So I have something both new and old, apparently, for this #werewolfwednesday . This was an image I got from furaffinity.net/user/rocfa back in 2020 of Lunaria. The story here is she arrived too late to prevent the bandits from slaughtering most of the village, but by the Light, she was going to at least make sure this child survives.

  22. Today's #DDnD prompt is Aura of Protection. This is a #paladin ability in #dnd and we currently have one paladin in our group called Clyro. The only problem is that I'm not 100% sure what he looks like, so I'm not sure if did him any justice here.
    Anyway, he's our lovely meat (and metal) shield, so I appreciate him lots, even if he is all dark and brooding.
