I have to confess, that we had someone else in a party of mine play a stereotypical serf Drow, including the accent.

Heh, seen it. She's decided that this setting's version of the drow is less that and more Undertale meets Game of Thrones though, and I'm inclined to roll with it.
Also, the artificer just took the Brew Potion feat, and is excited to use the blood and organs of that troll they killed (I improvised some market value for them as potion ingredients without thinking I'd ever have to go into detail). It seems sensible enough that troll blood would be useful for healing potions though, so once they get back to civilization that's what he's going to make.
I haven't yet told him the exact formula for trollsblood healing potions. When he makes them, I'm going to narrate the process step by step.
1. Distill troll blood into powder over a live fire, inside the shell of a freshly split coconut.
2. Crush half a dozen limes and mix their pulp with three drops of water from a holy spring.
3. Put the lime in the coconut.
4. Drink them both together.

And wheeew, I am finally in a third game, after lotsa trying. This last one, I missed the cutoff of 5 players of the applicants, then one didn't finish their sheet, and stepped in.
So, Qinggong Monk, in!
My catfolk-vigilante game, much of the rest of the group is holding out that it'll happen, but the first DM is obviously a flak, and we've yet to get a second, so my belief is it's DOA.
Which is a shame, because I really liked that character.

Something I noticed in the Sword Coast's Adventurer's Guide: Page 150, starting equipment for Inheritor background. Either some words are missing in the "proficient with" section, or... well, fuck me Inheritor can be so broken with start-gear.
This bit?
I'm pretty sure that's meant as an apology for your PC becoming the DM's punching bag.
Since this background can potentially railroad you into inheriting Castle Oh-God-why-are-there-so-many-ghosts-and-demons and the duty of clearing said castle of monsters(including the heretical Vampire/Lich hybrid that may or may not be your ancestor).

Yes, specifically "any items with which you are proficient".
Heh heh heh (gets seamanship, gunnery, and wheelock proficiencies)

You're thinking too small, still: Does it say anything about mundane items you're proficient with?
You have inherited an Letter of Marque, and the responsibility to fulfill certain...tasks...for your Patron.

"What do you mean I can't be proficient with the Spelljammer ?"
"Tell you what, you can be proficient with a Spelljammer."
Okay! *marks down proficiency in Giff Bombard*

Being slightly more serious: I imagine what it's supposed to mean by "item" is "Tool / Instrument", and by "Tool / Instrument" ones from the PHB page for things like Artisan Tools and Herbalism Kits and whatnot. In practice it's just, well... they didn't release an Errata, and being D&D if you give players an inch with rules-as-written...
He brought it there first! Besides, my bombards work fine from orbit! Just gotta get the ranging sighted in...
In all seriousness, by the book, a player could take proficiency in Apparatus of Kwalish or (worse) Mighty Servant of Leuk-O.

Which is why I specified that table in the PHB specifically. I think it was a case of Wizards having a slight brain fart and forgetting why all their other backgrounds are more specific.
Personally, I want proficiency in Talisman of the Sphere.

I could see how some people would want this, but uhm, anyone who cares enough to post in this thread? Has probably already designed dozens more characters than has played, and thinks dollcrafting is fun.

Yeah, but sometimes a ninja doesn't have the time to go diving for splatbooks. The secondary purpose of the exercise would be to streamline the design and play process by having the generically best options selectable, then provide a reference sheet to abilities in back, like 4e power cards.
'Cause if you tell me you've never blanked on a spell interaction or had to go hunting for a wildshape form or needed to show your MC what your shit can do, then I'll tell you you're a liar.

It's been several years since I played anything that had spells.
I'm the dude who is always pushing AMS.Though yeah, i did institute a "have the stats for your minion creatures at the table or i throw them offscreen" rule as a DM. Totally fine with spell look ups though.
So this is kind of a big thing;
I saved the WOTC Forums before they closed, and need help sorting them out....

Character concept- A Kitsune Barbarian assassin.
Using the Kitsune's natural shapeshifting and the Realistic Likeness feat (! One of the best race feats period) & tail spells, get in close to a target, then use rage powers + natural attacks to rip 'em apart. No weapons, just claw and teeth.
