Still though. Usually these types of situations have the skeleton or whatever give the character the information they need but more likely they don't know it or maybe they wouldn't be in this situation.
Idk mate, if I knew how to undo a curse as a magic user I would not just *keep* it cursed until I died at some point by the curse, even if I can't do it I'd know at least 20 other people who might be able to.
One of our party members was a scarecrow We found a tooth necklace, and wound up just giving it to him As it turns out, it was extremely cursed, and it targets the brain/mind *something our scarecrow did not possess*
My yt shorts paused at hung and i wasn't paying attention so all i heard was... *"The party is travelling through a dungeon and they come across a skeleton that is hungg"*
@@paudan1284 Of course I care, it was funny. Am I not supposed to appreciate humor when I see it? I just feel that man won the thread before it even began 😊
There's a reason I don't want to play a bard, nor a worshipper of Slaanesh, as nobody will ever want to hear Anything from me ever again, and I'll be paying their therapy sessions for a Long time
@@Voron_Aggrav in my opinion slaanesh need to be out of the setting like maybe make vashtor absorb her power to Ascend to godhood/ awaken the eldar death god to weaken her by reclaiming all the Eldar souls and freeing the rest of the gods from her belly or my favourite one the big golden idiot gets up from his golden toilet and unleashes a wave of holy fire in her Realm
@@omargoodman2999 One would argue that the one who wills the staff to be taken ie. the caster of command undead is the one the curse would be passed to, as the controlled undead is simply the means by which the staff was taken.
@@nicholaskehler9169 OK, but then what *is* "will"? By all accounts, the phenomenon we label as "will" is nothing more than a perception of the very surface-level of automatic processes which we have no perception of; only access to the results. In other words, our brains run a bunch of calculations and procedurally figure out a course of action, but it's all the biochemical equivalent of a mechanical process, nothing more than a very complex chemical reaction. There's no real "agency" or "decision" being made, just a marble being run through a sorting device with a bajillion criteria before ending up in one of a few dozen or so different outcome options. And our "conscious awareness" is only a self-recursive neural circuit constantly refreshing itself on the state of those outcomes, but with no direct access to the underlying sorting. In other words, "free will" is an illusion created by a combination of slight time lapse I'm different parts of the brain and inaccessibility of the entire brain to the part which generates the experience of "self-awareness". So it would be like saying that if you build a device that "repeatedly grabs what's in front of it" and I hold the cursed staff within reach of that device such that the device grabs the staff, that qualifies as *you* willingly taking the staff because you willingly built an extension of yourself which indiscriminately takes whatever is in front of it and, as such, universally accepts any consequences thereof even if you hadn't previously been aware of them. Philosophically and logically, this is structurally the same as giving an irresistible command to another agent to arrange their thoughts and decisions in such a way that they reach the conclusion they now "willingly" accept the staff and the curse associated with it.
If this happened I’d strive to recruit the skeleton to the party as a camp NPC. Like Withers, except instead of resurrection powers the dude’s just got god-tier sass.
My party was in a dungeon to join a cult and the other people were trying their hardest to beat the puzzles but I was continuously trying to eat them all

This for some reason reminds me of this one time, me and my friend were playing “dnd” but it was really just a big joke and we found this skeleton It was depressed and trying to kill itself We consoled it somehow and it gave us a chest, me being a wizard got excited when i got 2 spells we made on the spot called bone barrage, each bone did a set amount of damage and what i rolled would be how many bones were shot THE SECOND SPELL SUMMONED THE SKELETON TO FIGHT FOR US AND HE WOULD USE THE ROPE TIED TO HIS NECK LIKE A WHIP OR IF YOU KNOW OF DELTARUNE RALSEIS SCARF OR SOMETING Man i wish i could continue to play dnd with him but he doesn’t want to play dnd anymore, it was all online btw
after watching these shorts for months i just noticed the N64 in the background, one of my favourite consoles with one of my favourite games, Ocarina of Time
i see 3 solutions here A: take the skeletons hand and it holds the staff while you cast Or B: cast mage hand and carry the staff around like that or C:Glue a stick to the staff hold stick cast with staff while not touching it
So I tie the skeletons hand to the staff so it can't let go then I break his arm off and hold his arm which is then holding the staff so therefore he is holding the staff and not me
Probably due to my chaotic evil, id turn the skeleton himself into the handle by using his spine while he casts spells for me as a mutual understanding that we will continue together on the journey
