I took over a character in Out of the Abyss who was a level four Life Cleric. The other PC's constantly asked me to heal them. I hated it. I had almost no choices during combat. Having no agency in D&D was extremely NOT FUN. So I started a new character. They all complained that I would get...

I played a bladesinger in Out of the Abyss, mostly melee with focus on control. So that's what I voted. But it appears I am the only one and atypical. Being only able to use Bladesong twice before resting limited the number of times my character would wade into melee. Our group had a halfling...

Make her a bitter, chain-smoking quasit instead. "Eh, you think you got problems...?"

You may be shocked to hear this, but I have never had a player cast "Command: Blaspheme."

We have been doing it all wrong for years! Think of how little prep a DM would need! Or, when a PC suddenly went in an unexpected direction, you could simply hang up and later say "We were cut off." I really need to step my DM'ing skills up.

Character Backstory System That Works I just came here to say "Not Traveller." Pregame character system result: Was a noble. Had a free ship. Died. (n)

I ran a campaign with four players where immediately upon settling in a city, two of the PC's secretly became involved with the local orphanage; they both believed "something" was up with the place. One of the PC's actively funneled money into the orphanage. The other, seeing that changes were...

This is exactly how Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (Spoiler Alert!) "united the Force." :devilish:

Such passion! This thread almost makes me feel young again. Almost.

Just think, we could have legally been calling halflings "hobbits" this whole time! o_O

I started a campaign with first level characters tasked with delivering a rare book to an ancient blue dragon in its lair. The save DC for the dragon's fear aura was way too high for any character to succeed. So they all ran. I made a second, lower DC for them to save against losing control of...

In early D&D rules, you got experience points for gold pieces. So treasure had to be included in every adventure. ... but I'm not disagreeing with you. :angel:

This sounds good to me.

Is there actually anything decent in Avernus? #skeptical

Yeah: that's the hand of Vecna.

Aw man! Elves get all the good stuff.

You're close. It's "A Wgah’nagl in Fhtagn." It is very similar to the work by Madeleine L'Engle but has a few very significant differences.

Is that a female dwarf? Nah, it can't be; she doesn't have a beard. :unsure:

I have never heard or read the word "closeish" before now but I believe I understand exactly what you mean. B-)

Another vote for #3, but #1 could be interesting too. A fallen aasimar death cleric could be obsessed with life and death, emo/goth, and creepy in a (hopefully) fun and entertaining way. But #3 does seem to fit the environment better.
