funniest thing about dnd is that I made my character a failson specifically to make a rich guy suffer, but I keep rolling really high on important things, so everything has been working out for him really well, and his belief that rich people should never face any consequences just keeps getting reinforced again and again
I have, multiple times, told the other players “Hey, my character is an asshole. I am telling you things in a way that makes it clear I am obviously lying for my own benefit. I won’t be upset if you guys call him out. You can stab me. Please stab me. Please make him feel pain.” And they’re just like “Nah this is funny. We trust him with our lives. 🙂”
Telling the DM “Remember I’m a level 3 warlock. One hit could take me out. I won’t be mad if my character almost dies” and I’ll hear dice and then “Does a 4 hit?”
next session is in 15 minutes. wish me luck on my mission to make my horrible fictional son face any sort of consequences to his actions 🫡
had to roll 3 times for deception at different points and got a 20, 17, and 19. Not counting the +5 modifier. This man is destined to never suffer. Made this guy thinking I would have a humbling character arc when faced with the real world and instead it’s just him going “Wow! I really am better and more special than everyone else!”
Your guy should run for President of the kingdom
His dad basically is 😭
The DM gave us a map of the world he made, and I chose my character’s home city as being from a city from the northern continent, because I figured we’d be staying to the southern one (which had much more detail at the time) and told the DM that his dad was in charge of the city and part of an old-money political dynasty. I also had a backstory where he got his name stolen by the fae, so he can’t pull a “Don’t you know who I am?” and figured nobody in the south would recognize him. Basically a Kennedy-esque failson.
Turns out that the DM planned the climax of the story in the northern continent, and it had less detail on the big map because he was working on a super detailed map specifically for that area and it wouldn’t all fit on the zoomed out big map. My character’s hometown is the most important and politically influential city-state. He is essentially a prince. We ended up in his hometown today and everyone is recognizing him and doing whatever he asks.
It’s awful.
no character concept survives contact with the dice
The main problem with making sweeping statements about What Christians Believe is that most people don’t know that they’re heretics. I have folks in my own family who profess to be Romanian Orthodox but also believe in karma and the cycle of reincarnation. They’re 100% convinced that this is scripturally supported.
