Art: Ale the Paladin

 

Ale (full name: Aleain LeCroix, originally Oathbreaker Paladin, became Oath of Redemption, level 11/12). Digital, Marker, 2019


Ale the Paladin, with his 2 familiars, named Dark and Stormy. He was my DnD character from a campaign years ago. He started out as a comic relief, always drunk, needed alcohol to fight, and was generally a pathetic guy. But then his background came out. He was a Fallen Paladin, who abandoned his first Deity after a tragedy. Then the God of Alcohol recruited him. A fierce fighter, he actually had a combat bonus if he charged into battle soused. Ale picked up 2 magical familiars when they bonded to him instead of the party’s ranger.

The orginal Ale eventually met his end when he made a suicidal run against a horde of cave gnolls. They engulfed him in a fireball and he had so much booze in his veins that when the fireball exploded, it took out him, the gnolls and the cave itself.
