I've actually read Dungeons & Doodles: Tales from the Tables. It's really good. They even have cameos from famous D&D RU-vidrs like Drake from Den of the Drake and the Doge from D&D Doge. It's kind of crappy that he used pages from that comic to advertise something completely different just because the author is involved, though.
Hasn't fully seduced yet, but our dragonborn cleric is seducing a silver dragon with the help of the sentient beard belonging to an 8k+ year old wizard.
I've made a system based in the Fallout universe and I implemented the Karma System, which instead of having character alignments, I just use this system to judge when a PC has done something good or bad, with the highest Karma being +2000, described as "Jesus Looks Like Satan Compared to You", and the lowest Karma being -2000, described as "Hitler Would Think That You're an Extremist". There are benefits for both high and low Karma, but high is better. If you have low Karma, heavily militarist or evil factions will respect you, but the average person will see you as an abomination of a human, with low Karma PCs being prone to being attacked by people that have heard of them and merchants not aligned to them refusing to sell to them. On the other hand, high Karma PCs will be respected by most people, get discounts from merchants, and have advantage when dealing with others diplomatically
you may enjoy the character "Jackson" from the "completionist chronicles" series. a chiropractor monk who does adjustments as part of his combat cycle. "Rexus" if you want a jackson centric storyline
Not a player but the DM. Gave one of my players, whose a drow Arcane Trickster, who took expertise in Slight of Hand for his Magic Hands. So I gave him a unique bonus action Swipe to essentially steal from his enemies in mid combat, anything that they're not holding. And Catch, a reaction to be able to catch anything an enemy throws at him, without fail, all within the limits of the Magic Hand RAW. Essentially making them a handy, talented magic thief.
running a game back when i was like 13 in 2e, and after many warnings that the upcomming bossfight was going to be a deadly one, and knowing they were facing a 2e death knight, when the party were challenged to either choose 'their greatest warrior' for 1 on 1 combat, or face his champions alongside him in group combat, the mage stepped forwards and named himself the 'greatest warrior' of their group. 'you are no warrior, do you choose death?' says the death knight 'i can take you without taking a wound' says the mage. 'die' says the DK, using his power word: kill. (they had both a cleric with ressurection, and a rod, but the mage was still salty.)
context, the champions were a skeleton warrior/mage (homebrew), a mummy lord, and a greater wraith, the party were high level by this point, and were in the push towards facing the archlich and his shadow dragon allies, they had been made aware, both in and out of character that the BBEG final arc would push them to level 20 (ooc info obviously) and be a solid challenge (both ic and ooc, this was the 'world ending threat' after all), apparently the mage player thought stoneskin was an 'i win' button, and in a lot of situations, it could be, but against a cruel, evil, but oddly honourable enemy with access to the old DK abilities, it was taken as an insult.
I'm notorious for bad rolls, so when my GM said "weapons break on a nat 1" I asked, "Can I use a hero token to stop that?" He said yes. MY 1ST ROLL. Nat 1😮😢.
This is a line I’m planning to use for a villain, a powerful female magician named Evangeline, “it is quite wonderful to see you, I just had a talk with your grandfather and I brought you something.”
i didnt *die* die but i was brought down to 0 after walking into a closet and getting attacked by a broom... we'd just finished fighting a living suit of armor and i was down to 4hp and we were right next to a small closet. so i walk in looking for a place to sit that was defensable and a flying broom shot out and smacked me for 6 damage. and then our ranger used druidcraft to light sheets on fire which spread throughout the room nearly roasting me. fun times.. thankfully my dark gift symbiote was able to automatically get me up without needing to roll death saves or i may have actually died
Don't think I'll ever forget the wild magic sorcerer who dropped a fireball on himself the first time he used any magic. He, and the rogue, did not survive.
Great job, you made a worse Version of Way of Mercy, Except without the Damage buff ability or any of the flavor. It’s be interesting though, if they THOUGHT they were really good at Ki healing, advertised themselves as such, and add a touch of innocence as they don’t understand that something’s wrong (maybe make them a extra-planar lineage, like a tiefling who’s always lived in the hells) They smite instead of using Hand of Harm. Give them very low wisdom, invest in Dex to make up for the loss of AC from what we did to WIS), and give them the outlander, hermit, or noble Background.
I'm gonna copy and paste a concept a friend showed me a few years ago. A high elf druid named "Bigg Smoke" with the following stats: STR: 8 CON: 8 WIS: 22 INT: 12 CHA: 10 DEX: 8 His WIS is that high so he has the ability to talk *_with the literal players of the game,_* but the other PCs just think he's incredibly high since he acts high all of the time.
I had a student who played a cleric this way during D&D Club. Thank God for an orphaned NPC who made her want to take proper care of it; she stopped punching allies, still loved to deck enemies, though.
Not a DM but this was my first time ever playing DND Session 1, first 5 minutes into our campaign during introductions, our wizard pissed off our rogue by insulting our 'fighter' bard. Our rogue wanted to stab our wizard so our DM said roll She rolled a Nat 20. Our wizard had 6 health points. He's squishy and immediately 'died' All of us in a panic tried to save him Unlucky for us we all rolled Nat 1s except for the 'fighter' who shoved their hand into the stab wound and was pumping the wizards heart. He was only unconscious, not dead, so his heart was still beating Our 'fighter' was caressing his heart while the rest of us were laughing our asses off😂😂😂
“You pray to a god that embodies the passionate fires in peoples souls, and expect them to raise their power against me? Did you forget that passion has no laws against atrocity?”
Or a warlock in my campaign talking to what is about to be their new patron(and eventually a campaign ending threat) “strike me with the intent to kill, godling. If I can feel anything, you walk out with your life.”
"You can't seduce a dragon." "Aight bet." i rolled a freaking nat 20. spoilers: It was a male. But atleast i was the one dealing piercing damage. if you know what i mean.
i rolled a nat 20 on investigation. and that is how i made my dm need to create a new part of the story because i shuted a hole plot point because of the nat 20.
A friend of mine rolled a nat 1 for throwing an axe at an enemy, and it hit me, dropped me to 0 hit points, and my body fell from the vantage point we were on instantly doing enough fall damage to kill me…
I was playing a Gnoll Bard and the party was fighting some bandits. I rolled to use my bite attack and got a nat 20 and rolled high damage. I straight up ate the bandit's head off.
I kicked a homebrewed lightning monster from Monster Hunter in the Cajones. Next turn, it stopped my heart with 1.21 gigawats of electricity. My next character was bitten in half by some kind of ice- sabertooth creature.
We were following a magic deer through a waterfall and my brother went first. The DM went “Jumps through the waterfall…” *rolls 2d10* “…and dies.” Serious “What?!??!” From my bro before the DM laughed and said he was fine.
I try to, I appear to have a better memory for recalling what happened than the others. Never appeared to be important to them especially after the other DM decided to jump settings when bored! For example in my game which was initially a one shot was turning into a campaign. The other was a mess and the DM didn't appreciate my efforts to try and point out the mess he had made! Wouldn't have been a problem if he could keep his game straight, but nope even his opening adventure which ended at a decent base to operate from such low level and he decided no he wanted to run one shots from the port despite that not making sense! In my case I set up my game at the capital following a traumatic event that eventually led in to a civil war with the PCs finding a way into the State building and freeing those in charge from a charm spell cast by the Mage Guildmaster. Then sent to locate the missing heir which they went on without any questions which was odd. The Royal family had both a male and female heir with the prince being first in line but no reason they couldn't go find the princess instead since she was last seen in the city! Every session I made a point of stating they could ask questions, but none of them did! I had been about to move the setting off Exandria into a domain of Dread so I could then use that for a Session Zero when the other dm apparently bored of his campaign (because he couldn't be bothered to run it properly) decided to jump settings even though that was impossible by that point. By that I mean all he had to do was ask and let me finish what I set up moving my campaign off of Exandria then it would allow his campaign city to move into Exandria. Of course my character in his campaign wouldn't be accompanying him as it was already established she was banished from Exandria to the world where his game was originally set! Thus whilst he could get to run on Exandria my character would change because I was getting annoyed at his making me repeat saving throws because he couldn't run his game properly! Well that was a couple of years ago and I used that time to figure out why he did that. I made mistakes sure, but given the reaction of the other players when they realised I was genuinely creative and not an asshole well can't help thinking I got off lightly!
I was a barbarian with an intellect of 1. I fell in love with a rock. My party member throws my rock lover at a dragon to distract it. I ran after the rock and was eaten.
People sleep on Glamour. Mantle of inspiration is cracked. Take alert and let give your entire team a free move at the Start of every combat. Positioning is everything
I’m the dm for a kinda dnd. My brother jumped off a bus which put him at low health.later he decided to eat some nuts to heal. He rolled a low number and choked on one. It took a while to bring him to a resurrection shrine.
LMAO Great Homestar Runner voice @ 2:41, just as a note, I have a PHB at hand and I think I only use it to help me with character creation. I tend to struggle with that.
A level 14 shadow blade assassin awaiting his mark on a rooftop in the rain. Struck by lightning and killed. Not even the DM kept a straight face. My character was a great PC. The only overpowered item he had was a dark energy short sword. Struck by lightning. Sad.
My angel ninja character: Session 1: covered in scars, afraid of everything, constantly hid away in her pocket dimension, got overstimulated easily by loud noises and lots of people Final session: brave, confident, protecting the party, coming up with plans and was able to combine the BBEG to become good by pulling him and herself into her pocket dimension. That was my favourite campaign I’ve ever played, the party was so and great was a massive part in helping her become more confident and happy and Lilith exodus (the character) will always be one of my favourite characters ever
I think my 0 to 100 moment was when 3 PC’s died across 2 rounds from completely separate threats. The harengon wizard was killed by a demon they had summoned to fight alongside us earlier in the combat (they were in paled through their chest which ripped their heart out) The Dragonborn Druid was killed by the party’s paladin who was being mind controlled and slowly turning evil by the BBEG And my character, a moth person ranger, had her leg ripped off while running away the BBEG’s pet giant lizard dog thing. That was a fun way to end a campaign (not a TPK, it was just the last session)
Context- Our party was making s’mores, from the ground up. We needed milk, so our NPC Druid summoned some cows to milk. All our party members were going to milk the cows for milk, my character was a rogue who had never touched a cow in his life. Rolled two Nat20s in a row to milk the cows, Animal handling and Nature checks. Our DM sent in the rolls chat (this was on discord) “He has two cows, and he is milking one with each hand, and they are LOVING it” Still quite befuddling to me
