That command spell must be partially home brew. The spell RAW states it's only a single word. The target must be able to understand the language in which the word was spoken. Also, the target(s) must be within 30' of the caster and other targets. The target must hear the command word. Also, the target(s) make a widom saving throw. Most importantly, the command spell does no damage.
Yeah, this stuck out to me, too. Also, how they cast it on the entire group of ~100 kobolds, when the spell is single target. Even upcast to 9th level, you'd only be able to hit 9 creatures with the wisdom save. This sounded like a long-range AoE fusion of Command and Vicious Mockery.
🤓 (every DND fan)
Might have been like a mass command homebrew? (although the homebrew probably made it behave like Geas: the target can tank damage to disobey)
The impossible challenge for 5E players. Knowing the rules of the game they've been playing
yeah, totally homebrew "they disobeyed, so they took the base damage. . ."
there is no "base damage" on that spell, just a saving throw. no stipulation that they have to option to disobey and take damage instead.
side comment on the point that it can only be a single word, the caster could say "stay" instead of "don't move", but still, the target does have to hear and understand the the command for it to work
I’m a new DM and on my first session, within the first hour, the party fed a live goat to a harpy in exchange for a letter then delivered said letter to an old woman informing her that her son had died, while she was sobbing they proceeded to sneak into her house and rob her.
Soooo.... just a normal session then?
I really hate to say it but that seems pretty par for the course in a DnD session
15:02 Never being invited *ever* again? Really? And they didn't even talk to you about it?
Yeah seemed assholey
The orc man pulled a McCarthy, rolling up like, “yo, I gotta list of traitors”
Probably the most evil thing my party has done is literally causing the eclipse (the one from berserk) on a big city scale for a cool looking sword that was worse than the ones they already had
Shot a child because there was a bounty on her (which paid triple dead). Killed another bounty hunter because she basically snatched the target (child) away directly in front of me and i didn't like being robbed of my bounty like that, left the parents stunned in the tunnel i caught up to them in. Hurt another person that angered me during that hunt.
The consequences? I'm around 2000 wupui (Hutt currency. It was a star wars campaign) richer.
And yet, i can't get rid of the feeling of guilt. During the moment it felt all right, everything seemed so clear. But now i can't help but ask... killing a child for some money, bounty or not... what does that make my character? What i did was legal, but... probably still wrong.
Haunts my character as much as it haunts me to this day.
Magic item > Morality, Always
"what do you choose? saving 1 billion starving children or get 1 light saber"
Classic D&D moment
You never know if you don't try.
That orc thing was beautiful, they probably didn’t invite you back because they knew they’d never too that level of role playing an evil character.
4:40 this whole story just reminds me of a single phrase
"Grief can make you a monster"
Sal was eventually redeemed. The Pirate he served as first mate had a bastard (my Rogue) whom Sal was something of a father figure to, as the Captain was very distant.
The Captain turned out to be an evil man, worshipping the Goddess of the Sea who sought to bring as many unfortunate souls to the depths as possible.
At the end of the campaign, Sal served as my Rogue's first mate, sailing the seas together.
I was playing a spore druid lizardfolk named Dr.Celium, and when our harengon (rabbit folk, idk if i spelt it right) rogue player was exposed for stealing from our pirate crew and made a run for it, i had some undead dogpiled him and a lightning bolt later he was unconcious, i healing word him and looked him in the eyes saying
"Your fears were right" as i then ate the rogue alive, as his biggest fear was being eaten by anything (but mostly me)
after waiting for a few hours, I regurgitated the head only, and cleaned the skull, leaving it as a display in my office for those who try to take from the crew and specificlly, mess with my druids personal treasure
(FYI had it planned with the other player, who thought that it was a cool way to send off his rabbit rogue)
You can't really blame Helm for doing what they did in the second post. Deals and oaths with souls related to Gods and Devils in DnD typically are especially either dangerous and/or significant things, that can have over arching ramifications later on. I think the fact Helm even allowed that PC to remain his paladin even after having his soul forcibly sent to Hell was REALLY generous, all things considered. Usually the kinds God's I run into in DnD would be a lot less.....understanding of such circumstances. Even if it is by accident, or no fault of the PC. I would agree that being sent to hell like would be one of those 'straw that broke the camel's back' kind of moments though.
At the same time, Helm is one of those Gods where his whole thing is about being steadfast in the face of adversity. Which could explain why he was still your patron God after you showed such resilience in Hell. Hell, he was probably the reason that PC still had the ability to fight back in Hell for so long. Most people would've folded like a lawn chair at that point, but the PC was like a Paladin version of Doom Guy or something.
Helm is also the "protector of the innocent", ESPECIALLY children. So yeah you 'accidentally' killing a bunch of kobold men, women and children slaves on some Anakin shit, that was never going to go over well. Like a Cop that shot one too many innocent people by accident, only stripping that PC of their proverbial badge is a mercy on Helm's part; considering the players situation.
Also I thought Command was a spell that required for you to be like at least 20 ft or so from a target and they had to understand the language said for it to take effect. Wouldn't that also require that they be aware or at least be made aware of the player character after the "Command" is said, right?
Thank you so much for sharing Salamandastron's story, MrRipper! Hearing it spoken as opposed to written brought me to tears, as it was one of my first really impactful D&D moments.
It was a very tumultuous time for the story. I ended up playing a Paladin after Sal's epic exit.
I've seen a few comments about Salamandastron's name, and yes, a very blatant Redwall reference. One of my favourite series!
Love ya!
Right, so, evil campaign, I'm playing a scientist thri-kreen trying to find a cure for death (and fantasy dementia). Thing is, I have an extradimensional workshop, but only I can go in, buuut the DM gave me little magic cages sized for tiny creatures that I could bring in.
A small creature can squeeze (or be squeezed) into the space of a tiny creature.
The test subject I had available wasn't small, though, they were medium (a tiefling). So, I, uh... cut things off until they were small.
Not my character but was the DM when one of my Radiant Citadel Party's Barbarians threatened destroy a potion needed to keep the emperor of the kingdom we were in alive and prolong his life. He believed immortality was a curse that shouldn't be allowed, even though the emperor was a benevolent ruler whose long life has been nothing but helpful for his kingdom. Everyone at the table, the Barbarian's player included, kinda acknowledged he'd just committed a felony, and was fully accepting of the consequences even if that was the Barbarian being exiled or executed.
Said consequences was the Green Dragon BBEG exploiting the crime to make the party enemies of state as part of her evil plan, forcing them to disguise themselves as concubines Mulan style, sneak across the kingdom, and find a way to expose the villains to receive a pardon.
Everyone had fun. I got to let them decide how big their bounties were and how badly done their bounty posters were.
My drider offered to eat the corpses the town couldn't berry. I was told that's why they have a cannibal problem now and had to find lunch elsewhere.
I have had the honour of being part of an evil campaign. And the tip of the iceberg starts with vampire spawn child soldiers. Because we figured that people would hesitate if they saw children coming at them, at least until the first few murders happened. The time my character usurped a religion and had all of its priestesses burned to death. There was the Elf genocide, which admittedly was not my project, that was a fellow party member's but we raided a couple Elf villages, made an undead army out of the bodies and things snowballed. We tended to lose less "people" than we gained. I sold the soul of the continent's greatest hero to a devil out of spite, in exchange for a couple of demon smiths to build infernal war engines. Good times.
that last story!!!! That is how you be evil!!! That is the kinda game i wanna play!!!
Probably the nastiest thing I did was
>murder an important NPC for giving me lip
>summoned a Caecodaemon to have it shove his soul into a gem
>immediately fed said soul gem to the Caecodaemon, causing his soul to automatically be damned to the Lower Planes
>Disintegrated the body so no resurrection
>temporarily erased my memories of the event so that when questioned by the party I could legitimately say I had no idea what happened to the guy when they find out he’s missing
Too be fair, I was effectively hard carrying the whole revolution that was going down and this guy was treating me like some sort of rabid dog that was only kept around because they could point me at their enemies
I've played several characters who are awful, horrible people, but gave them tragic backstories to trick the party into accepting them despite being completely unrepentant.
I trapped an enemy I had accidentally deceived into seeing use in my inside a crystal sarcophagus then released thousands of scorpions onto him. His friend who was supposed to be an evil replica of me was horrified.
My Drow Ranger, to the horror of the rest of the party, ate Flumph like they were street tacos.
I played an undercover agent for the main villain. The game master was of course involved and while playing the campaign I actively worked against other players and gave many “blessings” to the final boss. The funny thing is that I convinced most of the other players to take the action that strengthened the boss without them knowing. The 2nd phase of the final boss activated all blessings with a short explanation from the game master about where the blessing comes from. I switched sides and destroyed the group together with the boss. It was the most fun in a game I've ever had.
(This dnd game is played in multiple parts at my school since we usually only do it every friday.) Basically, in my game im currently a undead fire guy, and i said if i will die in game, i wil, infact, become a angry math teacher, and the person hosting the thing wrote it down. IF I DIE I SHALL BECOME BALDI-
Baldi lore
One time, I was playing as my Loxodon Arcane Trickster Rogue, and during a party with the nobles and royalty, I tip off the king that there would be an attempt at his life. The next morning, I'm summoned to the palace as the king told me someone did try, but thanks to my information, he was prepared and survived. He learned of the ones responsible and we're tasked with killing the entire family.
We're given an armed militia to take the front entrance along with some party members while I slip inside. There I find a room with the children, the nursery lady, and a lone guard. So I decide to use Charm Person.
DM: "So you're using Charm Person on the guard to slaughter the children?"
Me: "No, I'm using Charm Person on one of the children to slaughter everyone inside."
Needless to say, a kid fails, pulls the guard's dagger, and stabs the nursery lady, before moving onto the other kids. The guard was conflicted on killing the child himself as he'd be just as guilty as whatever came about him. Eventually he decides to parry the attack to disarm him, but I sneak up and choke him with my guaratte wire while using my trunk to stab him with a dagger of my own (DM allowed it), and the child still under Charm joined in stabbing the guard until he was dead.
Granted I was Lawful Evil before the campaign started.
That sure does not sound like Lawful Evil
I'd say Neutral Evil at least
@@stadnikdsIt was lawful, because the king commanded it be done 😂
As dm, not player, for context, there is a custom race in my campaign called a "Fallen" that is the result of a tiefling and another non "evil" race. They're strong, but are hated and/or feared by most. This player was playing as a fallen who was born without an arm. My players were siegeing a town that was an enemy outpost. This player came across a fallen child who was severely injured in the cross fire, his arm was torn off by the rubble he was found in, and this player wasn't a healer, didn't know where the rest of the party was, and didn't know anything about medicine. The kid was fading quickly and asked the player if they could make the pain stop. The only thing the player could do was put them out of their misery.
This was in a Masks game. Had a character who could phase through solid objects. One party member tried playing good cop with an interrogation, and rolled low, so he didn't budge. I took the bad cop approach. Phased my hand into his chest and said "you're going to tell us everything we need to know, or else, well, have you seen The Temple of Doom?" I rolled well enough, and with some Team Points spent by the others (their looks of shock counted as a +1 from each of them for this) it became a critical success and he gave us everything. My character's power wouldn't allow him to actually rip the guy's heart out, but he didn't know that, and neither did the team.
I don't play evil characters, but this guy is pretty morally grey, and this was one of his more shocking moments.
In a RHoD campaign, we captured a bunch of evil hobgoblin and goblins. I gave them my word they would leave alive if they answered our questions. We'll they answered my questions horridly and myself and the party thought, they cannot leave here alive. And they didn't. In their dying words, cursed my character with an ancient blemish that others knew to be dishonest. It was super fun to play out, and had many cool arcs that came from it.
I made my players perform a ritual sacrifice on a Forest Guardian that they'd fallen in love with.
I also have a bad guy running around my world teaching kids to play lawn darts......with other kids as the target...... convincing the kids that any injury would be automatically healed at the end if their games.......which doesn't actually happen.... He's convinced kids to kill other kids for fun........
I was once playing a half-orc paladin with a homebrewed orclord prestige class that gave various bonuses to allies in combat. As I was leveling and gaining these abilities, I decided not to use any of them for multiple levels. One day, my DM had this massive overwhelming battle planned where the ACs were just outside of my party's normal reach, and we had to fight multiple waves of these creatures (Sidenote: Powergamer DMs really take combat too seriously sometimes). It was at this point that I let open the flood gates, and these abilities came roaring out, turning the entire fight from a grueling challenge to a walk in the park. My DM was just baffled that he did not see it coming.
We don't play dnd, but we play Mork Borg, and its already a morally bleak world, so some evil actions can be beneficial. We got the jump on a random encounter of two random neutral farmers. We managed to slaughter them and steal their donkey that we use as a test subject for traps and effects of various edibles. It has survived luckily. We (me) kidnapped an elderly woman who owned an off shoot tavern. (I ransacked her tavern and found rolled a thumbscrew as my loot). I tied her up and threw her on our donkey with full intention on telling her we saved her life. We're either gonna sell her or preserve her as our provisions for our travels.
Probably the worst one was firebombing a kingdom. My previous ranger had served that kingdom before joining the party, only to fall in combat. The rest of the table later learned that he had been a spy of sorts, looking for mercs to hire to help protect his homeland. His commanders had chosen to try to steal the magic our party relied on to use for themselves, without telling the ranger. After learning how my ranger had been used, the party rained fire on the kingdom (a combination of an Orb of Annihilation and Meteor Swarm cast from atop an airship) before landing to put down the surviving military leadership. I think released a balor on the ruins before we left.
I convinced hundreds of cultists to jump down a lethal height by pretending I was their deity personified and that they disrespected me.
No spells, no fighting, just hundreds of people throwing themselves into a giant astral pit.
Me and my party were going through a Castle of Giants that was having a meeting of multiple Tribe leaders, and we came across a room. Upon opening the door, the DM tells us that the room is full of the children of all the leaders, playing while their parents have their meeting. My Oathbreaker Paladin upon hearing there was a room full of defenseless children, decides to walk in and lock the door. After the slaughter, our DM said there was a note about the room made by the map creator, than ANY noise/screams that come from the room would be passed off as "The children playing" since, you know, they're Giants. I stuff the bodies of the children into a bag of holding, and stash it away for when the time was right. When the big fight comes against all the Giants, I give the bag to our rogue, who ties it to an arrow and launches it at the wife of the main leader, the bodies falling out along the ground as it flies across the room. Upon seeing the to bodies trail along the ground, the Giants all rage, and start going for our Rogue, since *he* was the one that shot the arrow. So not only did pull an Anakin, I also pinned the blame on the rogue 🤣
This maybe stretching it but here it goes.
I am a new DM, running my first campaign. I am 14 months in and I promised them challenging encounters. This has not happened all that much as I keep on underestimating the parties. Long story short, I am running two parties as part of the same campaign.
Anyway, after throwing so many monsters at the party, it was a slog for all and I knew the status quo cannot go on. Something had to change. So I begun to look at my monsters veeeeeery carefully and realized I made my custom monsters wrong. So I begun to revamp my current ones, actually READ the books on how to create monsters and I am starting to actually use tactics to try to control the party. I think I am on the right path.
Also stretching but out of game is how I treated one of my NPCs Tapa Sauer.
Tapa Sauer is a vulpine/ human hybrid who originally was meant to be the stereotypical sexy librarian and what I developed and done to her is just mean. Tapa's father was abusive to her due to her being a "freak of nature"; especially when's he begun to show her mother's hidden sorceress abilities. Her mother took her and her children to her father's where Tapa's human grandfather encouraged her to explore her talents and sponsored her to the Sentia Academy of Arcane Knowledge. This takes place in my homebrew setting. While in the academy, Tapa did well and found what she thought was true love. Her lover in the final year was practicing dark forbidden magic. The last few months saw her become pregnant and lost her child due to her being a hybrid. It has taken her years to recover, busy scouring the mountains for lost arcane knowledge and tools. Unbeknownst to her, all of her work was being used against her and the party to destroy the world. She recently found out and feels every bit responsible for the losses her town has suffered through. With adventurers and military troops nd ships coming to the town to berid of the threat due to it strategic location at the junction of two rivers; her depression almost saw her fall to a succubus who was summoned by her ex-lovers teacher. She also almost killed her best friend in town by tearing her throat out; only to live due to her being a cleric and the party's actions and I have more hardship in store for this NPC. I am confident the party will do what they can to keep the guardian of the secret library; being the only one who can possibly tell them act is going on and how to get around the foundations plans; safe and alive.
I think it happened last week...
As a preface we're a small group (I'm the dm and there are two players), so to give the party some extra help and an addition person for them to rp with I run a dmpc (we're also running with the gestalt rules for fun). Nyx wasn't really involved in this interaction, it was mostly between Seash (aarakocra paladin of freedom/divine bard) and Eula (immortal creator deity who sealed away as much of his powers as possible to try to die). Seash is a pretty young character, still idealistic, a bit naive, and struggling with self esteem and self worth issues; and she just can't seem to wrap her mind around someone wanting to die. We've got a couple of months of in game down time between adventures so we're doing various bit of rp, and during one of the scenes where they get a bunch more info on the big plot going on behind the scenes she decides to ask Eula about it again. Eula has told her that he's been around for millennia; he's told her he has a perfect memory and can never forget anything; that he's had nearly a quarter of a million people over those millennia that he loved like family; that many of them had been adventurers who'd died horrible deaths; that anything that brought a memory of one of them to mind, brought all related memories to mind at the same time, forcing him to feel again the tearing grief that could never fade. He'd told her all that, but never the final thing that haunted him the most. He'd had the power to save all of them (or at least make their passing's painless), but he didn't, because that would have been against the cosmic rules and he's so lawful (about those cosmic rules) that he couldn't force himself to break those rule, despite desperately wanting to. So when Seash was asking him about it again, he finally snapped and decided to show her his pain in a way she might finally understand. So he used his last bit of power as a god of creation (other than being immortal), he can create just about anything he can hold in his hands, but it only exists while he holds it, and as soon as it's separated from him it dissipates in a swirl of energy. He conjured up little figures of her family, holding them in front of her and asked her a question. If they were dying, and you had the power to save them, but only by betraying everything you know to be right and believe in, would you do it? He then animated the little figures, having them die in the most brutal ways that his loved ones had died. Seash could stand only a few seconds before she fled, and Eula followed her, asking "Would. You. Save. Them?" Seash flew off to her rock to get away from it all and Eula collapsed afterward sobbing both from the recalled grief, but more so for the pain he caused one of the last two people in the world he cared about. He tried to console himself that at least she would forget the horrors eventually, but it didn't really help.
I was playing 2e and my Character was a Grey elf Fighter Mage.
I was on an adventure heading to a nearby village to help them with a simple farming problem.
I had gained a reputation and had a bounty placed on my head. While I was heading to the village I had noticed that I was being hunted by a group of goblins. So I set a trap and when they was close I casted rock to mud under the goblins feet. The mire they struggled the deeper they sank when they sunk deep enough I reversed the spell and hardened the mud to rock entraping them.
For the next few rounds I had interrogated them harshly finding out that the local Drow matron whom I had a long standing feud with hired them to kill me and bring back my head.
Furious after hearing this I decided to play soccer with each of the goblins heads. I Later delivered the heads to the Drow settlement. Lets say that made the matron angry as she sent her minions to kill me. I stormed in dispatching her army and then turned my attention to the civilians. I murdered all but a dozen men women and children to start their civilization over.
Me DM: Ok Bard is hanging about six feet off the ground in a snare trap.
Dragonborn: Can I use my breath weapon to get her down.
Me: Ok so you want to use your breath weapon on the rope is that all you do?
Dragonborn: Yes
Me: *Following the module’s fall damage* Ok you use the breath weapon on the rope and she takes-
Paladin: *Sudden realization* wait!
Me: 1d4 fall damage.
PANR has tuned in.
I can't answer this question on UA-cam.
So TikTok developed all those censor-dodging 1984 words for no reason?
I was playing as a Tortle way of the long death monk.
Little backstory: he came from another continent looking for a magical object that could save his people from a volcanic disaster that was threatening to destroy their home.
The party learned in a previous session that this object had been destroyed in a power play by a politician on the other side of the continent. You can naturally guess he was angry about this, and right after the news, the party stumbled upon the rotting remains of a horse-drawn cart. As they tend to do the bandits responsible came out and threatened us. The party, as good murder hobos, killed all but the leader knowing they likely had gold. My monk walked up to the now tied up bandit, and dragged them to the rotting horse corpse. He then said: "I have no patience for you today, so you have a choice. Either you lead us to your gold and you die quickly, or I put you inside the horse and you die there." They gave us the gold.
Not my proudest moment, but I say I played it well given the situation and character.
it will be a long one but: i had a character, Krig the old, about 62 human fighter with focus on polearm, mercenary turned lord, turned slave, exceptional cook, played him as a grandfatherly character who would continuously attempt to get either drunk or high at any and all opportunities as a result of this he never had any money and would wander around in rags.
unusually he was better at infiltration than the assassin because of this, he could just wander into places and because he was good at telling stories and knew how to look busy IE cooking people usually let him stick around. that was until he discovered the band of brigands he was scouting out for information had raided a small village and Flayed a family for resisting, something that he didn't like.
he waited until the main raiding party left again, it meant that 80% of the camp was made up of new recruits ,a few guards, the family's of the raiders themselves and not a few camp followers. the DM didnt make me roll for it, Krig killed them all, no matter how old, man or woman, innocent or guilty and then hunted those who attempted to flee, only one escaped which was by choice.
after that he faced intermittent attacks by the bandits, who didn't really pose a threat and he would avoid killing, no matter how much they begged.
the last one was the boy he spared, now in his mid teens after 2 years in game charged at Krig with a shank, declaring vengeance for killing his sister and mother, he was quickly Subdued but the DM managed to get what i was putting out RP wise and he stated that with all his remaining strength he asked why
"why did you father skin a boy barely 4 moons old and nail him to the side of a burning thatched hut, truely these are not the questions you should be asking now, but i shall tell you."
"i did it because people like me need to learn that our actions come with consequence, your father learned this, i saw it in his eyes as he lay bleeding on the side of a road, as you do now."
he rests his Awlpike on the boys shoulder
"do you feel that, it is Steel, Wrought in a way most suited to killing another, i used one similar to it to kill your family and render your father Invalid, and you ask why, i did what i did, why did your father do what he did?"
he didnt respond
"Steel, we become steel as we grow, Tempered by the world and fitted into our role, his role was like this pike, to kill, to take what was not his because he was best suited for it, his steel demanded that he kill a few and take from the rest, as i also did"
..."you are steel"
"that is the paradox you see, we are the world, We temper ourselves and others, in taking, in killing, we shape the world and its people into that of Death, and so it is reaped, we forge the steel that will one day slay us and we are so arrogant as to bring familys and loved ones along side us to face them blade to blade"
"but now tell me, Shall i shape you into a blade, Or will you bend and crack, will you be free of this shape"
the DM stated that the boy had got the message, he would eventually kill Krig, Mostly because the DM was tired of me Peeing on things because Drunk old man antics, and built his statblock up to counter my Blitz but i think this was the highlight of my first evil campaign.
he never got or sought redemption, i played him as a bitter, regretful shell of a man through and through
playing an evil campaign, everyone else made boring normal evil characters, pick pockets, outlaws, murderers, ect ect, and then there was my gnome rogue necromancer. a cannibalistic poison master with no qualms about killing. his intro was him being chased by a group of paladins for corrupting a shrine, to escape he set an orphanage on fire and ran off while they were trying to put it out. then he came back later in disguise and stole any corpses which he made into jerky. his goal for campaign was to steal the hand of vecna from the kings keep and sacrifice the king to become vecnas champion. our final campaign before the DM dropped contact because of another player i was into my final bit of set up, to get past the kings detect poison spells i created a 2 part poison and impersonated the head chef, putting one part in the food for a feast and the other part in the drinks. both parts were harmless alone, but when combined, like in someones stomach. basically i was going to kill off the ENTIRE aristocracy of the entire country in one fell swoop.
The worst thing I’ve done is not play DND at all :,)
The most evil thing was probably my boyfriend DMing a Song of Ice and Fire game that went massively off the rails (as in King's Landing became a smoking crater infested with dragons off the rails). For me, it happened when my characters father in law had been sent to the Greyjoys to try to get them on side. IC, we had no reason to suspect they would violate guest rights (not wanting to use book knowledge for our characters). Which meant that after his sudden yet inevitable betrayal, said father in law was killed and his body was left hanging from the bridge when we came calling. It did not end well for him, and my characters wife was a weapon savant, who took her vengeance personally affer slipping into our besieging army.
The MOST evil thing he did was in the same game to the other player, but he really did bring it upon himself. We got to make our households up, so he made his sister min/maxed for diplomacy and intrigue 'she would so *anything* to make the family stronger/better'. Queue shock horror when she assassinates his Liege Lord, THE STARKS, as part of a gambit to have him become the Warden of the North. Or, after he got jealous of my character after a long character arc becoming a dragon rider (after he was a warg and a green seer for most of the campaign) took a near LITERAL DEAL WITH A DEVIL/the DM to become one as well. He lost his warg powers, and his dire wolf went insanely violent from the severed connection until she needed to be put down. It got so bad by his own actions that our characrers had a falling out (he seemed complicit in the assassination argempt) and he was eventually poisoned on his death bed and needing to burn a destiny point to survive. Due to another confluence of factors, he did so with a magical surgery which discovered the source of his dragon powers, restoring his original green seer abilities, and he was a monstrous half-human looking visage. Our characters somewhat repaired our relationship, publicly the 'tyrant of the North' was dead, and he went on a redemption adventure as a nameless knight who never removed his armor - and I made a second character who was an adventurous village boy who basically forced himself on him to become his squire. (Which almost led to some bandits finding their conscience and trying to rescue me from him because of some poor choice of words).
Damn, the dragonborn homelander'd the sorcerer
The most evil thing I did was vivisect a bandit to interrogate them. I did numb their nerves, but just started severing nerves as they watched in horror. I got every hideout location, and burned them down. The character had been going down a doctor jeckel/mr hyde arch, his portable lab was stolen and I wasnt having it.
I was the dm. It was a small group, me my wife my brother and his wife. I laid a curse on my brother's PC, a silver dragonborn. He was driven to consume living flesh or he'd go insane with hunger and just start killing and eating everything. His PC has a thing about the fae realm, so when the party inevitably ended up there I had him role to overcome his fear and eat fairies and such. He failed every damn roll. When they finally got out of the realm he ended up slaughtering a bunch of people in a small village when the party went to rest due to yet another failed roll. Think Anakin and the tusken raiders. He ended up being hunted down by the survivors and eventually was turned over by the rest of the party.
explaining and presenting how the presumably good deeds their character did resulted in loosing the favor of their deity. or how the suspicious party member wasnt an evil antagonist all along. whooops.
turns out, many of my rogues end up dying horribly due to "errors" in judgement. 🤣 they serve the purpose of making the parties feel bad afterwards.
One of my buddies did a DnD campaign that would run everyother week, and me and him would trade mantles so he could have fun behind the screen. During the campiagn, I was playing a silver dragonborn blood hunter path of the lycan. He had moderate inteligence, but was played as a man who had just recently reached equalibrium with his inner beast. This meant I could not read, had zero sex drive, and cared more about food than most other things. One of my other buddies was playhis childhood friend who borught him back with a concotion of herbs and poisons, a dragonborn named Crollo. Well, he had a habit of brute force and threats to teach me to be good (we were good with this). Well, one point, he killed my pet badger (he didn't help in combat, he was just a pet) that had been my only friend in my lycan days. As such, I stuck back against him, and vowed to get even. That chance came when he was asleep a few days later. He had nagered another party member, and I suggested giving him lycanthropy. My acomplice agreed. So, I snuck up, and bit down. He succeeded. I bit again, he failed. I bit again. By this point, my acomplice was aware I was trying to eat him, as the beast was in charge, and saw only food. They restrained me, but the lycanthropy took. He now had the same curse as me, and would learn that itr was not an easy thing to control.
And yes, we were all ok with this, even my buddy. We all highlighted how our characters worked early on. That does not change the fact I was willing to resort to spreading my curse as revenge. As a note, we reincarnated my badger as a dwarf, and taught him monk levels.
And Salamandastron is also the mountain stronghold of Badger lords in the Redwall series of novels. Noticed that when I heard it as I listened.
Redwall is one of my favourite series, so I had to make use of the name somehow!
Sold a party member who got petrified. We later sold them back and used the profit to pay for the restoration
Not really a single thing but my first game, my wizard became the final boss of our time in Waterdeep because he followed our Ranger (his first best friend) into a Bhaal cult and Bhaal made him his chosen by killing the ranger for defying his orders to kill me.
My Wizard, despite the grief decided to use them in order to gain the power to wipe them and others like them out. So he then proceeded to kill 100 evil god cultists to craft a staff made from the rangers main weapon and it became a weapon so evil it drove him insane.
Had a happy ending cause the cleric saved him and the city was made better for it.
The dm also let the forge cleric break the staff and reforge it to the same power but from love rather than the power of 100 evil souls.
In my campaigns as a DM, I only just started so I haven’t seen much exciting. The most evil thing I’ve seen was my brother accidentally killed one of the part member’s pets, which was just a butterfly. He punched it out of the sky on accident while trying to fight some brainwashed people.
Interrogation
BBeG is captured.
Broke his hands and feet. Gagged him. Then used fear spells to interrogate him.
DM
(For the next hour, Von Bon Badguy sits in silent terrified horror, unable to move or speak as you mentally take him apart one fear at a time.)
Given a quest to eliminate a merchant and any witnesses.
Ended up killing the merchant and killing his family in order to receive a cursed blade.
Most evil I did as a player was manipulate the threats across the eastern kingdoms into war, became the integral link among the party that led them down a irredeemable path. Use them to kill a innocent BBEG to claim its heart for my own vampirism ritual. ( Astral elf ) and did it all as deep follower of asmodeaus.
I had no control over it, so I guess the DM did it, rather than me?
My dhampir feeds on "dreams", which the DM interpreted as "hopes and dreams". So, one night, in an uncontrollable hunger, she completely drained another PC's sister of all her hopes and dreams, leaving her in a state of complete and utter apathy. To make things worse, the other PC suspects my character to be somehow connected to his sister's fate, and he's ready to kill if he finds out he's right.
The most evil thing bushman did in dnd was when he threw a shield at a villager that had been winning a fight against bushman’s party ranger he thought bushman’s strength was only enough to knock him out but he accidentally rolled high and bipidy bopity bushman accidentally added more crimes to the groups reputation
Edition: 3.5 My Gnome (Fondue Snargleblat) 10 DreadNecromancer 7 Walker in the Waste was trying to dislodge an enemy army that was trying to conquer our Island. The rest of the party was trying to stop the enemy fleet in one of the two port towns they were coming in from. I told them I would take care of the second one. (the party included a lawful evil fighter, Lawful good cleric that was at this point an avatar of a dead religion that was coming back to life due to him, and a lawful good druid) They didn't like my neutral evil necromancer very much so they were fine with me going to my death so to speak. I arrive at this moderate large size port town, roughly 30k people, at around midnight. The fleet of enemy ships were docked in port and I could tell that they have taken up residence in the town. So I decided to cast one little spell on the outside of town where the beggars / orphanage was located. So when you summon a shadow (ability where it does STR damage, when they drop to 0 str they die and after 1d4 rounds they come back as an uncontrolled shadow) So I released my shadow in the orphanage and it went to work on the sleeping children. Within a couple minutes I had around 60 shadows and they floated through walls going from home to home killing and multiplying until they got to the docks where the enemy army is camped out. The DM had a horrified look on his face and said "yeah we are fading to black here " The next morning the town was lifeless, not a single thing alive in it other than me. The eerie creaking of the ships and wind through the streets was all that greeted me. Oh and also when the shadows would come out during the day the bright sun would kill them so it was like releasing a plague that would kill everything in one night and then stay contained to the general area. The look on the other players faces when this happened was so priceless.
The Kobold Killer Story: I'm a little surprised, I'd expect the Character when abandoned by Helm, would have shifted Alignment at least one step towards Neutral or Evil and instantly pledged themselves to one the Deities Opposed to Helm...
It's what I'd have done...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
So i got sorta one from my last session. To fast forward a bit our party was exploring the basement of my pc's home. He is a sosrrorer with drake origen and noble background and had been seeking out anything about the dragon that started his blood line. So going down we found out that his family had been using restoration scrolls to bring back a dragon to then cut off parts to sell. We found one scroll and some leftover parts witch came to life and attacked us. Once my turn came round i had the bright idea to use the scroll on one of the parts.... it turned into a ancient red dragon that was also like my pc's dragon. It nearly killed us all but my pc had a telaport stone on him (we had telaported to his house so this was the way back) and hit the go back button. My pc lost his home and one of his staff and this coming session is going to start working on getting a scroll of wish and undo his fuck up.
Prepare a plan in which my players (on horses) are encircled by 20 goblins on motorcycles using chains to grapple them, with worgs closing any escape from behind.
Hobgoblins with muskets usée martial advantage from the goblin, same with the devastation (arcane advantage).
And the boss is faaaaaaar away using Martial advantage on a minigun using magic missile at will (5 damages per darts).
I will do this.
Cannibalism. Sure she's a 'path of the beast' Barbarian, and she does get to nom on enemies as an attack and possibly get back health, this instance was different. Our stealth raid on a Drow base fell apart and devolved into a straight up raid. Threw a Frag on the perimeter wall to kill the guards and severely mess up the Elite. She ran up there to make quick work of him, then proceeded to flop down and started eating his face, the reinforcements hiding behind the tower doors too afraid to go out to engage.
As a DM I killed off the goblin bard npc.
I don't think I need to say more
I cannot stomach being evil. It actually bothers me to try it... but when I DM everything's on the table. I'm the opposition. I'm the problem, and I make sure it's known. Probably the worst is making the players flee a genocide and having a small child plead with them to go back for their parents when the party knew very well they were on their last legs and lucky to be alive themselves. They ran.
my first evil pc was a Tiefling fighter who was a pirate. She had a few enemies, but the ones who are worth noting is a noble who killed her adoptive father, and her sister, because their father gave the post of captain to me rather than his biological daughter, so she made a mutiny eventually. My goal was to kill them both.
During the campaign, we found a shipwreck where the noble's son was, along with other survivors. I shot at them with the cannons without second thought, and then we went over there to fight them. After defeating the man, I had an idea to pin my two enemies against one another.
After I knocked him out, I ask for privacy cuz I knew the group wouldn't wanna see what I was about to do. I skinned the man alive (though he died in the process) leaving just his face intact so he'd be recognized, and hung him using the flag of his family that was on the shipwreck. Then I put some extra cloth on him and used his blood to write "This is what happens when you mess with my family." However, I didn't sign in my own name, but I signed with my sister's name.
Not all plot points from that adventure were resolved because it was a short story and I was aware of that, but now that I successfully killed my PC's sister, I said my character will use that as an excuse to collect a bounty she has from those events and use it to hunt the nobleman down.
My rogue technically engaged in biological warfare. He want around a port town leaving little dollops of blood on door handles to spread a disease that spreads via contact with blood (it just causes shapeshifting when you sleep), right before setting out on a ship to another country. Though he did this as a future business investment since the party had a sample of a cure and we're currently looking for someone who can replicate it... and my rogue is fully intending on selling it for a good profit.
I definitely heal from eating burned bodies as big bear.
The wizard does a nice medium rare
Oddly I don't do a lot of evil things. Even though I rarely give my characters an alignment. Maybe the closest was my bard who went his own way in a dungeon two different times. He walked out of that dungeon with a dragon horde in a bag of holding and a belt of hill giant strength that no one ever asked him about.
Oh this one will be fun. High level campaign took over a kingdom . Had a relic bag of holding no weight limit , time stop for living matter . Convinced the whole army to enter the bag for easy sneak attack on rival kingdom. Nat 20 so u had a massive bag of life energy I used from that day forward for magic item creation ,demonic soul trades , etc. Was so much fun
Used a wish to make alcohol impossible to create.
Big time dm over here. And if you want to know how brutal I've been. I through a blackball at my group. I'm a pretty hardcore as written, no fudging etc. This creature is a 2e creature.
The blackball is a mysterious and extraordinarily dangerous opponent. No one knows precisely how this creature comes into being, or even if it’s alive. Also called the deadly sphere, it is simply a featureless black globe, 5 feet in diameter. It levitates about slowly and silently, in apparently random patterns, disintegrating everything in its path.
The blackball has no recognizable mind or intelligence.
Combat: Whatever solid or liquid matter the blackball touches simply disintegrates (no saving throw); the deadly sphere moves freely through anything. This ability makes it immune to all weapons or attacks; even the most magical swords are destroyed immediately by contact with the blackball.
When encountered, the blackball moves toward the nearest intelligent creature within 60 feet. The deadly sphere’s ability to sense intelligence extends in three dimensions, so underground adventurers may be surprised by the sudden appearance of a blackball from above or below.
The blackball’s advance is relentless, moving in a straight line toward its victim, regardless of the physical or magical barriers in its way. Running away is the only way to deal with a blackball, though that may not be possible in a labyrinth or other such situation. If all intelligent life flees beyond its 60-foot detection range, the blackball will resume its seemingly random movement until another intelligent creature is detected.
If characters close to melee combat range with the blackball, the blackball moves toward one of them (the DM should choose randomly). Because of the blackball’s slowness, its target can evade the blackball with a successful Dexterity check, regardless of initiative and other actions; this check, and not an attack roll, determines the blackball’s success. If the Dexterity check fails, the blackball catches and disintegrates the opponent. If characters try to fight the blackball, everything that touches it disintegrates.
Immortals can sometimes command a blackball, but it is beyond mortal control. Fortunately, it is extremely rare. It is immune to all spells except a carefully worded wish. In additition, if gate is cast within 60 feet of the blackball, it moves toward and then through the portal created. Though this transfers the blackball to another plane, whatever is summoned by the gate spell might be understandably upset. Other spells and magical effects do nothing to a blackball.
The blackball’s power on the Prime Material Plane is nearly absolute; it can utterly destroy any normal magical item. If the blackball touches a rod of cancellation, the rod is destroyed and the blackball is rendered immobile for a round (though it still disintegrates anything that touches it). The blackball is unaffected if it moves into an extradimensional space, such as that created by a portable hole; however, the blackball can be moved to another plane if within 10 feet when a portable hole is is placed within a bag of holding and a gate to another plane is opened. If a blackball touches a sphere of annihilation, the creature is sent to another plane and everything else within a radius of 200 feet is completely destroyed, including the sphere of annihilation. Artifacts are unique items of greater than mortal power; if one contacts a blackball, the results are unpredictable and highly dangerous (and left to the DM’s discretion).
Killed a man while he was sleep induce with something we put in the water. By spamming toll the dead
I can answer this!
My group had a one shot two weeks ago, in which i played Lilian Sapling: A freelancer who’s willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. She and the other player, there was just two for the one shot, were hired to try and find a book that was kept within an abandoned mansion full of magic. The mansion was on a hill near this small town, and at the front door were two guards that we needed to get around…well Lilian didn’t want to wait. She went up to one, once the two were separated, and simultaneously stabbed him in the back and covered his mouth. With the Intimidation roll of an 18, Lilian said “I am going to remove my hand from your mouth and my spear from your back, and if I so much as hear a peep out of you I will end you right here and now. If reinforcements show up, I will know who sent them and will find you. Do I make myself clear?” and he just silently ran for the hills once Lilian’s spear was out of him and he was let go. The actual evil part was at the end, after we got the book, where Lilian betrayed both her other party member and the person who hired her. We were in a fight and he had gotten hold of the book, Lilian wanted him to hand it over to her but he refused, so she said she was going to kill him if he didn’t hand the book over. It didn’t work, he fled, and to prevent anyone from telling on her she killed the man that hired her (he had tagged along in place of a player that couldn’t make it to the one shot). Lilian is now searching for the party member who took the book, fully ready to kill him if, and when, she finds him.
Kicked a puppy.
2:42 so it’s the story of the Heralds in WoR?
4:48 redwall reference spotted
Bingo! It's one of my favourite series, so I had to use it somehow!
Used an orphan as a battery 🔋
Not D&D, but when playing Mage (a world of darkness game) my character entered combat with a large group of werewolves, and rather than, you know, using his sword, just ripped out two ribs from one werewolf, stabbed another in the eyes with those ribs, then proceeded to grab another one by the spine, and tear its spine and skull clear out of its body. Why go that route? My character was offended that the werewolves had suggested my character needed weapons to kill. I love my character. No chill, just spite and violence.
Rip and Tear, until it is done
How much Paradox did that little trick cost you? I can imagine your GM punishing you with that.
My most evil act came from a game of Shadowrun where another player and I became fed up with Lone Star Security Services and were hell bent on taking them down at any cost.
I was playing a troll hermetic mage and the other player was a dwarven vehicle rigger.
Every single run we went on was foiled by Lone Star in one way or another and after one too many defeats, we decided this was personal!
So we started a riot in the middle of downtown New Seattle by convincing a local street gang to help us open fire on an armored security convoy, promising them all the weapons and tech they could get their hands on.
This got the Lone Star SWAT team involved, which was exactly what we wanted because our goal was to steal one of their City Masters, a rather hefty riot control vehicle.
We managed to succeed and found ourselves in a pretty dicey chase scene. I got rid of the pursuing eye-in-the-sky helicopter all thanks to a wonderful combination of spells: Detect Fuel and Ignite.
Unfortunately, casting those spells back to back caused my character to lose consciousness and gave him a bloody nose, leaving the rigger to lose the rest of the heat on his own.
It was a close call, but we managed to lose them and took the stolen vehicle to a safe house location.
We proceeded to stuff our newly acquired ill-gotten gains to gills with well over a thousand kilos of high powered compound explosives known as C-XII.
This was all the explosives we had.
We then installed a remote rigging device so the rigger didn't have to be in the vehicle to pilot it.
Finally, we took that sucker, crashed it through the main lobby of Lone Star HQ and detonated it.
Not only did we cause the whole building collapse, we completely demolished several surrounding city blocks in the process; bringing the death toll to the hundreds of thousands.
We then spent the following weeks eradicating every Lone Star fueling depot in the city by unleashing my two favorite spells and causing untold devastation in our wake.
While we succeeded in taking down Lone Star, we effectively handed the job of policing the city to Ares Knight Security, which turned out to be our downfall.
On our last mission, we got into fire fight with them in which my character took an assult canon round to the face and the rigger fell victim to a hail of heavy machine gun fire.
Despite not actually surviving, this was definitely one the most fun campaigns I've ever had!
aa lot of Kobold's where harmed D:
I like mr ripper
I am honestly ashamed to say. Sorry, Ellis.
The things I've done are so evil, so vile and grotesque, that I cant type it on 99% of platforms as the AI admin system will remove it within seconds.
Not really evil but chaotic. I wanted to poison the food and drink have some nearby guards that would give them severe gastrointestinal issues. I wanted to have them heading to the latrines and stay there for a bit if you know what I mean
My reborn necromancer has the knight background, so I asked my dm if the retainers could be ghosts. I had thaddeus, my main man lured a homeless half orc who walked with a cane come to the corner I was at by impersonating the ghost of a lost loved one. I covered his mouth with my skeletal hands and cast the spell finger of death on him. My first of many zombies that serve only to dog pile a target
With Raise Dead, Resurrection & True Resurrection, Permanent Death's are a little hard to arrange...at least in 3.0 & 3.5 anyway, not sure about 5th Ed.
The campaign fizzed out, so I didn’t the aftermath, but feeding an ancient dragon to an aboleth probably isn’t good for the local economy
Some of The most memorable moments of my gunslinger artificer fiend from my 3 year grimhollow evil campaign:
* I killed the soul surviver of a village, a child, so that i would become the master of the boneclaw that killed everyone.
* I killed a Planatar by grabbing his nuts and shocking grasping, then cut his bits off and pickled them in a jar as a trophy.
* Beat a goblin to death with his johnson (due to the graft "distracting endowment" we ruled that while my character was erect he could use his manhood as a club).
* Helped kill a group or Seraphs and trapped them kn his armour to make him a false angel (so anyone that tried detecting good and evil saw that he was a fiend, but full of good holy light.)
* We also killed Aurelia from ravnica and i stole her sword and turned it into a Manfred Mann joke.
I made a tactical adoption of two yua'ti eggs. See I new their cultist parents (and village)were going to be slaughtered by the rest of the party. So, aided by the other bard. I snuck into the hatchery and adopted two eggs before the village was destroyed and they were orphaned/killed. So tactical adoption.
So, dm here.
I had a section were my players would be kidnaped and imprisoned.
However one of the players had a magical armor that could not be separated from him.
Soooooo I skinned him alive to take him of the armor.
In the same game, one of the players lost two hands.
My Vengence Paladin argued about cutting off both arms of a freaky arm guy in Curse of Strahd after catching him. I almost got my powers removed, my brother likes to threaten that a lot. I will never play as a paladin with him again.
As a dm, a lot of things (-:
I feel like the last story was extremely targetting on the op. 230... 2--and fucking- 30 racial insults and slurs thrown his way. DM must of had some real bad issues with OP, that OP wasn't aware of and still op turned the tables back on the DM by out playing him. Props to Op. Probably why the DM never invited him or her back.
I flayed a skeleton
Orc story was the best I dont know why they would have a problem with what your character did since they brought racism into it they should have expected it with this day and age
So I'm not the character in either instance but I am a party member.
For context; our primary rogue's son was murdered and had his soul taken, 3 party members birated the guy for grieving over his dead son, one is the Cleric who is incredibly racist against anyone and anything who is Demonic (the Rogue is a Hellhound). This Cleric has caused the guy so much grief in character, and even got a potential ally to side with the bad guys because she thinks anyone who can defend themselves is useless (this includes children and species that aren't made for combat) and she wants to orphan her niece because she cares more about her sister having gotten a pass out of military service by said Cleric's deity mind you.
So the Cleric wants to defy her own god just to punish her sister despite the fact that as far as the law is concerned, her sister has done nothing wrong. By the way the Cleric is supposed to be Lawful Good, but she is the kind of Lawful Good that too lawful and tries to follow those false beliefs from her mother to a point that she basically got a divine Court Marshal in front of the entire party because her deity's husband, who is the head of the Pantheon, happens to be the god that blessed my character as his chosen champion, so I basically have him on speed dial and I did rat out of the Cleric's poor behavior because it's been causing problems with the party and I nearly attacked her twice.
2:45 How the heck was he forgiven?? They need to clarify how they were forgiven. Was it a natural thing that happened in game or did the DM was like I don't want the party the party dynamic the mess up.
