They’re terrible on their own, in an otherwise regular(lol) campaign. Together, as a party, they form something magical
I would totally buy drugs from a druid named Violetbriar or Shroombeard…
Fuck, now I gotta roll new characters…
Fuck that’s cool
yeah, i like the hat being a cursed hermit crab that acquires new, uh, “transport” each level making them stronger.
In Pathfinder, as a Tanuki you can take a feat called Teakettle Form that allows you to change into a inanimate object (like a hat) and if you’re a witch you can have your familiar take a humanoid form.
i really need to find a pathfinder game it has fun sounding classes. do the tanuki have magic scrotum power or do i have to RP that
My wife is currently playing an asamar druid that was a drug dealer to the noble families of baldurs gate lol
I played a Protector Aasimar Barbarian named Krill who was a fairly average scholar who had decided studying wasn’t for him. He heard somebody talking about “Power Word Krill,” and decided that he wanted to learn how to do it. He would basically go along with the party on everything (sometimes a little too quickly, he was hard to kill and often forgot others were squishier), but was absolutely obsessed with finding Power Word Krill.
He was asked multiple times if he was instead looking for “Power Word Kill,” but he really wanted to summon a lot of small crustaceans on demand. Or maybe it would just summon a big one, he didn’t know and was fine with either situation.
Heard one on the weekend - a party of warlocks who are all each other’s patrons through the power of friendship.
Ok, this gives me a great idea - a warlock whose patron is his own mlm scheme, he has to sell his shitty “get magic quick” scheme to lots of people to power up. “Just dedicate and focus your energies to the collective and you too can gain godlike powers, share it with your friends and loved ones. Join now and you’ll be empowered in no time. Empower 4 others and you’ll get candle lighting privileges! Reach archeon tier like me and you’ll be throwing fireballs, just 7 short tiers to work through, what better use for your time?”
I would love to see the werewolf play the pompous know-it-all: “Um, actually the idea that the moon causes the change is a superstition. It’s a body cycle that often coincidentally matches up with the full moon. People just remember the times during the full moon because of confirmation bias.”
Anyone who’s had a player who’s “an [X] trying to convince the party they’re a [Y]” is probably having PTSD flashbacks now.
It sounds funny to read about but in my experience players who commit to constantly gaslighting fictional characters are not team players and always willing to spoil the fun of others.
i had a rogue that i claimed to have forgotten the name to each session. in reality, i was playing them under a false identity and hiding from the thieves guild, that was just me dropping bread crumbs. that was fun.
magic user pretending to be a different kind of magic user can work if you establish some code words with your referee
Hear me out: I played with an orc fighter who was convinced he was a mage, and tried to convince the rest of the party of the same thing. He carried a cast iron pan as his weapon, and his spells were “pan toss” and “pan smack”. There were a lot of laughs when NPC’s would be like “you’re clearly a fighter, you’re wearing plate armor” and he’d say it was his spell casting focus.
In my party was a hobgoblin convinced he was the most beautiful being on the earth. And he tried convincing everyone to think the same. Was very funny
That sounds very cute! I’m thinking of the players who seem to need secret knowledge over the other players.
I was in a game with a secret were-rat who was constantly passing notes to the gm and then you’d wake up missing items or finding NPCs you liked dead and the player would angrily deny having anything to do with it. We all saw you pass a note.
A friend of mine once intentionally derailed a pug game by playing a priest of torm who was convinced that torm was black, to piss off the gm and the paladin of torm who were super racist. We probably shouldve just left the game, but we were asshole teens.
I don’t get it. Obviously hobgoblins don’t think hobgoblins are ugly.
Had a game where the DM and his bestie homebrewed Roy Mustang. The PC was insufferable and overpowered by level 3… shooting fireballs that consumed the entire room in a single attack.
The party, and the group, broke up because they were mad the rest of us didn’t want to live in their power fantasy world
Ya it can be a fun concept for like a one-shot but after that, the joke gets stale.
My friend played Farmer Bob at a larp. His village had a legend that the chosen one would come from the village to defeat the great evil. When things got bad enough they picked him because he was the only one who was literate at the time, so they figured that was heroic enough.
@its_kim_love @Stamets Shades of discworld logic, right there.
You have no idea. It’s hard to explain, but Bob was a riot.
What’s missing is the Mud Wizard.
The peasant farmer I’ve played as a halfling artificer with halfling luck. He never improved much, aside from rolling with the punches a bit better. In fact, he hadn’t any clue what his equipment was or how it worked. Things just kept happening for him and the party refused to let him leave.
The running joke was that he’s lucky enough to stumble into unfathomable power, wealth, and fame, but not lucky enough to find the mundane life of peace he was looking for.
I’ve been that druid 😂 except I diversified my inventory after picking up circle of spores
Only one that’s terrible is the washboard bard, but that’s just my personal dislike of the horny bard trope
I once played an ace bard. He only cares about the music. He also unconditionally oozed sex appeal.
I also had an ace bard! Red dragonborn who was head cheerleader at his school and only wanted a puppy during the campaign. The puppy then proceeded to be carried around on said bard’s head.
