A fighter in my party got a magic battleax that does max damage to plants and wooden objects; once he figured out that he could use it against wooden doors to great effect, it quickly became a running gag at our table that his last name was "Doorbane".
Had a dude kick in a door, budged. It was rotten, he ended up with a huge splintered plank in his leg, criting himself. (just remembered it was a d10 system and he bodged several dies)
Actually, this would be a better story if it had been a fire wizard. Fire Wizard: Is it made of wood? DM: *crap* Fire Wizard: I cast Fireball! *Everyone turns into a scorched skeleton* XD
See this is the stuff I love about D&D. A seasoned player always has a story or two to tell. Whether it's a really cool moment, or something funny, it's always great listening to another player tell a tale of their adventures.
To be honest, when I heard the thing about the dwarves or gnomes needing lumber I was expecting they were going to work out some kind of deal with all the smashed wood, or that maybe the fighter would go all-in on that deal by going and smashing trees down for profit.
@@Jamstaro1 Kinda sounds like a magic user one of my friends played. I don't remember edition or specific class, but he could kick our asses in a brawl. Most of his spells were dedicated to make sure he could be the front man for some reason.
It makes sense... Last time I did a brawler caster I was a bard.... Went monk for some fisticuffs and for ranged id use cutting words as I kept the pressure up
I doubt it. As Jared stated Firghter is the go to for starting out. You just kill stuff. However this guy discovered the joy of DnD: you can *anything* as opposed to board, video, or playground games where there are strict rules. Normal: "No you can't tackle in Tag/It, just touch." DnD: yes, roll for STR. (We'll see about the consequences.)
This is hilarious 🤣 Can't wait to see how 3 of my friend react to D&D :) One got hooked up on her Tiefling already because she has hoves and wants a bibliothek. One got his dwarf Druid, with a sheer impossible to say surename, which when we ever get to know he'll make sure we say right before he will help us again in battles. (Which sounds awesome to me) And one is still thinking about his Half-Ork barbar and background
"Is it made of Wood?" Heh. I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of playing with someone like that. I really wish I did. It sounds like it'd be a blast.
I played a character with a running gag once in a one-shot. She was an alicorn (half elf, half unicorn - from a book I don't remember, not homebrew) and could detect evil at will. So every time we entered a new room, I would shout "DETECT EVIL!" My two friends who were co-DMing got tired of it lol, and in the last room one of them responded, "you detect evil in your uterus!" Lmao I started freaking out while everyone laughed, but the birth was quick and easy and ethereal haha. So my lawful good half unicorn gave birth to the bbeg.
That's a pretty awesome and wholesome story XD I kept expecting his wood smashing addiction to bite him in the ass but instead he got to smash it all! Good times Jared lol
"Wood cut in line at the Home Depot that one time! Wood sent me that vague emoji when I complained on Facebook! Wood drove around a corner without turn signals!"
As the Dwarven-Gnome alliance strengthens and they bring their knowledge together, a masterpiece is formed. A machination made purely of wood that could perform any job, mine stone, fell trees, practice combat, and even guard against kobolds and giant rats. The world was in bliss, until a group of crazed bandits killed any lumberjacks on the surface and headed to their mountain home, one a warrior with a sword and a repeated mantra of, "Is it wood?". The dwarves tried to defend their home and their honored guests, but it was to no avail, any defence they had was shredded, any treasure they had, broken. Following the carnage and screams into the final room with the latest test golem, was a sight of blood, splinters, and beards. No survivors were accurately able to relive their story, the only common thing being a tale about a man with a sword stating, "Is this made of wood?" before bringing his cruel blade down onto everything in the room, man and mechanical alike.
@@CEFG100 Hi, Peter Griffin here to explain the joke. Stats in DnD are typically around the 9-12 number, maxing out at 20. Do note, a fighter would probably not have max intelligence. However, the average IQ of a person is 85 to 115. So the Fighter's IQ would be 20 compared to the 85 minimum average.
Illuvia Vergauda, 3.5 Catfolk Barbarian. A hunter for her village, she was skilled at hiding in tall grass, yet struggled to move about undetected, leading her to favour ambush-hunting against exceptionally large game like mammoths, wielding throwing spears to open the battle before charging with a greatscythe *_(x5 crit multiplier)._* My dice must have loved her, because she landed no less than two crits in every session that had combat, usually more. The GM even leaned into it by allowing Keen (double crit range for enchanted weapon) and Improved Critical (double crit range for selected weapon type) to stack, giving her a weapon that, while she was raging, sported *_2d6+16, 17-20/x5_* for a damage stat. At level *_seven._*
dont stop making content bro, its awesome seeing you come back from the assasination attempt on your character with so much energy. I've been watching u for years so keep doin what ur doin
My tunnel vision project was always pickpocket. It became such a high level, I stole an entire demon lord and put him into my cloak’s pocket of holding. The entire demon lord. I stole him. From his plane of existence. And put him in my pocket. For later.
I love some of the progression of the editions since. New players, I have options. Sure, fighter is still the easiest way to get your feet wet. But now, I can say "melee fighting is your easiest bet. Fighter has no frills attached. But how do you want to present?" Because with a good tutor, rogue, monk, barbarian, ranger, even some of the other classes are viable with someone working with you at the table. I've had one player who went paladin as his first character. Most the spells he had prepared were straight buffs that he could use for himself. Sure, that one was a lot of hassle to help manage. But I helped him prepare three spell lists. One for down time, low threat. One for travel, moderate threat, and one for expedition, when combat was inevitable. And that put me into a better mindset of helping people learn the system. Not the mindset of "play fighter, it's easy mode for me to teach." But rather "how do you want to play, and let's pare that down to a minimum viable for your fun. It will still be fun, but keep the complexity manageable until you know when to use what dice."
"Is it made of wood?" is a lot funnier and a whole lot more efficient of a running gag than one I had when I did some off-the-hook DND campaigns in high school of the "Grinding Hyperion Bot". For context, we just had a start of any scenario we could think of and just let whatever happen with any character we could be, with the exception of if we died as that character, we couldn't be that character again and had to be a new one. So, one time, I was a Hyperion Bot from Borderlands. I don't remember how it happened, but at one point, I got broken and just started spinning my top half in place, making a loud metal scratching sound, and it just became a running joke, usually as a punchline. It was hilarious, especially when it happened when Master Chief had to renew his Worthog license at the DMV with Mexican Raiden so they could get revenge of the DMV lady (seriously, don't ask. even I don't know).
@@no1important777 That's literally all the context I can give you (I'd give more if I could). I got in the campaign when it was close to done, but apparently the DMV Lady was already a reoccurring character in my friends off-the-hook campaigns, so there's more history even I haven't learned. and man, I didn't even mention the spoon warriors or the most intense game of pong ever played in a zombie apocalypse. If we could make it funny and expand off it, we'd do it.
@@no1important777 It might as well have been (especially with 5 high-school boys just speaking their mind), and I wouldn't have had it any other way. It was an amazing way to forget about school for a while.
We had a Kitsune Barbarian in our campaign with a special trait. He would fly into an uncontrollable rage when he saw wooden furniture, especially if he saw people using the furniture (he did this for Druidic Reasons). Made meeting the King really interesting...
This sounds like a great example of a dungeon master understanding the goal of the game. The player was new and was obviously having a blast. There are a million reasons why the new player's fighter might not be able to smash a wooden golem... but I think the DM saw a chance to get a new player to stick to the hobby, and created a memory for that player just by enabling that player's fun.
He mentions Tunnel Vision with a character, which I have experience with. The character I'm currently playing is Riardon Sianodel, a Ranger/Rouge multi class. His specialty, is stealth. I have +5 dex, expertise with a +5 proficiency. Then I have Pass Without Trace, for another +10. So, if I cast Pass Without Trace, my minimum stealth is 26. I can sneak past most things without even needing to try. Combine that with my being an assassin who needs to attack undetected, and it works out pretty well.
This kind of reminds me of what happened a few weeks ago. My party came across a wooden door that I put in there that was falling apart and rotting except instead of smashing it easily they decided to pick the lock. That fighter sounds like he was having a really fun time smashing things.
From the sound of that much fun, I wouldn't doubt if that guy was still playing to this very day. Just punching his way through doors and treasure chests and wooden golems.
Honestly that sounds delightful, probably the wonder of someone who realized they could do things you can't do in video games. Playing Resident Evil and a table is blocking the door? Nuh-uh son, this is D&D, I can smash it!
I made a character like that during one of the few sessions where I played Vampire:TM, my guy was a Malkavian and as such absolutely, certifiably insane. He had this flaw that made any plants he touched wither and die, and one aspect of his insanity was that he felt an overpowering compulsion to kill any plant he could see, while also being paranoid that anyone would see him do so and thus discover his true nature. He was also the sneaky member of the party so anytime he was infiltrating somewhere, he left a path of brown potted plants behind him. His side gig was selling old, generally unreliable, illegal military tech to the opposing side and anytime an obstacle came up he generally tried to argue for blowing it up. When the group then finally got cornered by a gargoyle in a graveyard that also served as one of the character's hidden caches, he tried using an old RPG launcher against it, and ended up incinerating not just the gargoyle but 75% of the party as well. The grenade veered wildly off course and hit a crate of explosives, which then set off the rest of the old ammo and junk...
I made a character once that was obsessed with collecting sticks because he had secret plans to create an army of animated stick people, after saving the world from the current threat of course. Given the means by which I took to acquire said sticks, my character would have gotten along well with this fighter :P
Finally, we get to see these stories again! These are always so great. What is with that red light though? I would get rid of it if you are not too attached to it.
This episode kinda made me think of playing as a really buff dude who is using like massive shields and lots of them to attack, or maby just get a door and put a handle on it for a smashing board. Gotta play shield-man next time i get to play dnd

He was also the sneaky member of the party so anytime he was infiltrating somewhere, he left a path of brown potted plants behind him.
His side gig was selling old, generally unreliable, illegal military tech to the opposing side and anytime an obstacle came up he generally tried to argue for blowing it up.
When the group then finally got cornered by a gargoyle in a graveyard that also served as one of the character's hidden caches, he tried using an old RPG launcher against it, and ended up incinerating not just the gargoyle but 75% of the party as well. The grenade veered wildly off course and hit a crate of explosives, which then set off the rest of the old ammo and junk...
"I've trained for this moment my entire life!!"
Yeah, some good o'l classic d&d stories! Keep it up Jared!
This is why DnD is amazing.
"This is the story of how we made a crazy barbarian monster"
I made a character once that was obsessed with collecting sticks because he had secret plans to create an army of animated stick people, after saving the world from the current threat of course. Given the means by which I took to acquire said sticks, my character would have gotten along well with this fighter :P
Oh god this is why I look forward to d&d December
Finally, we get to see these stories again! These are always so great.
What is with that red light though? I would get rid of it if you are not too attached to it.
This episode kinda made me think of playing as a really buff dude who is using like massive shields and lots of them to attack, or maby just get a door and put a handle on it for a smashing board. Gotta play shield-man next time i get to play dnd
This is a really hilarious and wholesome tale for DnDecember.
1 year later.... still love this story
Treant still tell tales of horror of the fighter whom hated wood. His eerie calls still haunting them "is it made of wood?". XD
Hey Projared, DnDecember is my favorite creation of yours and always will be, I'm afraid that it won't bring new subscribers to your channel though...I don't want this to discourage you because I absolutely adore this series, but keep in mind that once you get your classic projared videos rolling new subs will start coming in!
Keep up the amazing work man, don't stop doing these videos!
He just released the Final Fantasy V review a few weeks ago, but yeah I agree he should do some more video game themed stuff until his channel boosts up subs again.
pretty sure it is bring subs to the channel he was 890K yesterday and hes 894K as of right now
I think that dndecember is more important to him than subscriber count, it's a part of his identity
@@Buderus69 That's why I said that he shouldn't stop doing it. I love it more than anything he has ever put out. Its just a shame that it doesn't bring that much of a new viewerbase is all
Makes me think of the dwarf I played in a palladium game. 29 strength. Really played into it too.
GM: What do you do?
Me: Dwarf! *shatters my sword on a monster’s skull
Best D&D story I’ve ever heard
