DnD characters don't have to get drug tested for work

Lucky bastards

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

imagine if the Adventurers Guild did drug testing

"Do I have to explain, one more Gods-damned time, I CAN'T HEAL WITHOUT MY WEED! IT IS PART OF MY RELIGION!

I'm getting Dankroth on the stone right now. This is DISCRIMINATION!"

I can imagine it.

I can already hear the compelling argument why their chaotic good cleric should be able to use 'purify water' on their own piss to pass the test.

Honestly, I would probably just allow it, but force the party to make a bunch of stealth tests to not get caught passing their pee samples to the cleric.

DND characters are given drugs for work. Potions are just homebrew drugs.

My alchemist would ace that drug test, he's been studying

New D&D players: "I wish I was a badass like my character."

Intermediates: "Haha my bard disguised as a fighter just fell down a mineshaft what an ignominous end. Hey DM, for my next character, are you cool with lawful-good-aligned clerics of chaotic neutral deities? God I do not envy my characters but they are so fucking funny."

Veterans: "My character is just me except fantasy."

don't give your characters a tragic backstory. give them a tragic **front**story

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tragic backstories are sad things that happened before the player took over.

Tragic frontstories are awful things that happened because the player took over.

What do you mean?! No bungee jumping without a rope was not a bad idea! I knew what I was doing!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Sounds like someone isn't role-playing hard enough.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, c'mon, you know you're strong.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Debatable.

I mean not even. I simply am not. Physical or emotional. My boy got a 20 Strength and family who cares and supports him. Mine is closer to 12 and no external support network

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

12 is still above average!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You have us!

I'd love to have horns and a tail, and an otherworldly devilish charisma. Not sure about the racism I'd end up on the receiving end of though

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I just want to fireball people who piss me off.

If Baldur's Gate 3 is any indication, you will be endlessly profiled, imprisoned, and rejected.

But also hot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You dropped this: \

Edit, FYI, the reason it's missing is because the text interpreter treats it as an escape for the underscore. You have to escape the backslash too, so you need to type 3 of them, like this:

¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Well that's a given in most games, unless you're going to lengths to depict your character as particularly homely.

Wife and I were just talking about thr rise of D&D and the isekai genre in media and how overly popular both are right now. Like, seriously anywhere is better than planet earth right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

In D&D I can live out my fantasies of having enough agency in my life to do something about the end of the world brought about by megalomaniacal bastards, and having positive net worth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

My character's village was wiped out by a necromancer and he's currently an undead abomination out for revenge. I think I'm fine where I am.

This movie should have been named A Divorce Story, and then promptly dumped into the ocean. What the fuck was the point of the thing? It's just a two hour long exposé into misery.

I mean, yeah.
