      I used to game with a group that at least let a couple of the players take turns at being the "seduce everything" character. I don't see how it is fun, and have wondered if perhaps they are trying to compensate or something. Fortunately, the players that never pay attention usually quit after a while. My sister in law used was one of those, and an (in)famous example was that she would read a novel while we gamed. At some point in the session we get on a boat. A couple of hours later, someone asked her what she wanted to do. She said "I get on the boat". That is what we now say if someone was not paying attention. "Do you get on the boat?"

    "It's what my character would do." My previous character, an aarakokran monk with an obsession for shiny things went to scope out a possible dragon lair. And instead of informing the group it was the lair, he saw glowing crystals on the wall. Decided to go after that instead, prematurely starting the fight with a shadow dragon.
    He is now a bone flute in the possession of the barbarian.

      @@claudioclaudio7953 I'm not an expert, but this is what I gather:
      If you buy something as a supply for your job, you get to write down the cost you paid, and when everyone gets their tax returns, you get that money back.
      Example: say I were a vlogger. Because of my work, I buy a fancy camera. Since I bought it for work, I write down the money I paid as a work expense. Later, when I do my taxes, and everyone gets money back (called tax returns), that money gets reimbursed.
      This has created a kind of running joke, you'll see it if you watch American youtubers long enough (macdoesit comes to mind). Whoever you're watching will take the object they bought, hold it up on camera, and say something to the effect of "gotta make sure it's in frame long enough, get that tax writeoff--aight, we're good". Because if it's in the video, its related to their work (even if that relation is... questionable).
      Its either: they get reimbursed, or they dont have to pay taxes on it. Again, not sure. But it's something to that effect.

    I had an "the overpowered" character in one game. We were all rolling stats in front of each other (so no cheating, even), and I ended up rolling 18 17 17 16 16 13. Ended up making her a paladin, with her 13 in dexterity. Her crippling weakness was that she was only slightly above average in nimbleness. :) She ended up dying at level 6 saving the rest of the party.

      I usually put my lowest score in intelligence unless im the partys genius. Its not really as useful as the other scores, as the only things that really require it are saving throws against mind flayers shit and stuff like history. Literally every other saving throw and ability check is a lot more common
      Because of this i often end up playing characters that are about as smart as dolphins, but at least they stay alive

      @EdenOfChaos 3 роки тому +109

      A few months ago I had applied to join a campaign that had been going on for over a year, they had lost a player and wanted to round it back out. I joined their discord and we were creating my character and when it came time to roll my stats, they had a macro to do it and my rolls were 18, 17, 14, 18, 18, 16. I immediately thought, "holy shit, I'm so glad that this is recorded because no one would believe this." and two of the other players who were in the channel were laughing and congratulating me and...the DM simply says, "Yea, that's a bit much, I'm gonna need you to either re-roll or subtract 5 from any four of those." I thought he was joking and didn't say anything, and the other players spoke up and questioned him and he was serious. This caused them to get upset on my behalf and were arguing that I rolled the stats, there was nothing unfair about it and there's no reason that I should be punished just because I rolled well. In the end, the DM refused to relent and the players ended up leaving.
      I'm currently playing a campaign with one of them DMing, even got to keep those stats, and the other players from that campaign also left the other and joined this one. They've since said that this was the first time they'd ever had a problem with him, and normally he was great. I felt a little bad that this DM lost his players over one incident, but I got over it pretty quickly. Don't have rolled stats if you can't handle players getting high stats.

    • @0Fyrebrand0
      @0Fyrebrand0 3 роки тому +84

      I agree with you on all that except for the nat 20 part. A natural 20 on an ability check does not mean whatever you're trying to do is guaranteed to succeed. The king does not abdicate his throne to you simply because you got a lucky roll. You can't have every party member attempt to persuade the BBEG to lay down his weapons and surrender each round of combat, in the hopes that sooner or later you'll get a natural 20 and they'll have to obey. The DM still gets to decide the outcome of the roll, and I don't think it's "annoying" for a player to acknowledge that. If anything, it's WAY more annoying if a player is trying to bully the DM into giving them what they want because "I rolled a nat 20, you HAVE TO do what I say!"

    • @Nesto_
      @Nesto_ 3 роки тому +46

      @@0Fyrebrand0 I know, and I never said a nat 20 was an auto-success. I agree wholeheartedly and have heard that exact example a million times over but if the DC is clearly not above 20 or the DM says that it’s a pass then why are you bringing it up?
      I’m similarly annoyed when a DM says “A 20 isn’t an auto-success on skills/saves, what’s your modifier?” When there’s no shot the DC is so high that a 20 failed unless your mod is in the deep negative. It kills the excitement of a moment that would otherwise feel sick because apparently a barbarian rolling a nat 20 to grapple an enemy wizard isn’t guaranteed to succeed.

You can have your players technically succeed on something, but have something from that come back to bite them in the ass. Like, they get a nat 20 haggling a merchant, you can just have the merchant give them a fake version of what they wanted. There are creative ways to work with a nat 20 that technically doesn't meet the DC you set.

    One who is "The One Who Always Cancels". I have hosted 4 sessions so far and he says he will come, but never shows up saying "I slept in." or "Oh I went on a vacation to another city." (actually happened, but for obvious reasons, the last one was changed up slightly [city names/me being too cautious]). I might boot him if he doesn't show up for the next one which he also agreed to.
    One who is "The Rules Lawyer" that always calls me out on things I changed for somewhat obvious reasons. He is also the "Too Many Characters" that always wants to somehow play two at once and has at least three backup characters. (He also wants me to commit TPK, that will only happen if the players do dumb things such as not running from a beholder when they are at low level.) Lastly, he also is "The Too Literal One". Also he is the "Thats What My Character Would Do" and finally lastly "The Role Player" he has came dressed in costumes before.
