    D&D 5E (2014) Characters that annoy you (and/or the players who play them)

    I would actually love more of this in the games I play. And you know what, that's my pet peeve. When players have really, really weak stomachs. I also hate when players take things really personal. Like if the party thief steals everybody's gold and one guy melts down on someone else, I can't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling Barbarians-Finally a edition that lets the monster out of it's cage.

    Henry, that's awesome. Here's my Barbarian, he is an absurd amount of fun: Name: Crossing River Race: Wood Elf Class: Barbarian HP: 21 AC: 14 Level: 2 Gold: 105 EXP: 575 Languages: Elven, Elf-Gaelic(The DM and I still need a better name for his language, but he doesn't speak Common.)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Players Killing Players for stupid reason

    No, the god should be Mr. T, who just throws them into space after drinking his milk.

    D&D 5E (2014) Players Killing Players for stupid reason

    A bit of clarification: The two players are 'friends' in that they hang out and share the same religion, but they also like to bicker and play 'king of the mole hill' a lot. The one pointing the crossbow was basically using his character's ignorance of these new guys, as an excuse to perform the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Players Killing Players for stupid reason

    No it isn't. It's on any player to not aim a crossbow at any other player. They can squabble, like Wolverine and Cyclops, but they shouldn't be coming to blows(unless the table is cool with it players trust blah blah blah). No it isn't. Meta-game fiat is another word for real life, where...

    D&D 5E (2014) Players Killing Players for stupid reason

    You don't tell the character that. You tell the player that, and he changes the character's mind if he wants the game to continue at all. There's playing your character, and then there's your character getting in the way of the entire group's game as a whole.

    D&D 5E (2014) Players Killing Players for stupid reason

    So I'm playing in an evil campaign right now, and it's a ton of fun. Last night two new characters joined the session, and the other player said he wanted to aim his crossbow at one of them, "Because how would my character know who he is?" The DM looked right at him and went, "I'll tell you who...

    Also, I typo'd and didn't realize it. Obviously, 'Personality' would be 'Charisma', not 'Dexterity'. Ha ha ha. Late night posting.

    D&D 5E (2014) Beefin' Up Monsters!

    Just a quick topic here, but I notice that a common mistake in the group I play with: There's this tendency, coming from 3.5 and then 4e and then Pathfinder, to look at the monsters in the MM and think, "Gee, these guys are kinda weak and stupid. I think I'll give them a little boost." And...

    What do you mean by 'Willpower' and 'Personality'? I know those were stats in Oblivion, but they aren't stats in 5e. Are they just different names for Wisdom and Dexterity?

    Eugh. That's when it's time to eat Snik.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pets and animals that are not companions

    Mastiffs I believe are considered 'warrior breeds'. Along with bulldogs, rottweilers and I think some other sorts of dogs. That means that they have more fight than flight typically. If the dogs are attached to a character, and they see that character go down, they're going to want to defend the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's wrong with a human-centric fantasy world?

    I think it's better to not even worry about that, and just worry about making them seem interesting to the players. You don't have to reinvent the wheel for every species, just point out little things, little quirks. Maybe Dragonborns(I prefer Draconians, but hey.) look around wildly a lot, and...

    That sounds like great big wet globs of fun, actually.

    D&D 5E (2014) I Failed My Kobayashi Maru Scenario

    Bring him back as a zombie, have him start hunting the boys one by one. Start running a much different kind of game. "Snik know what yoo did lastest summerzes!"

    D&D 5E (2014) Odd weapons...

    People who think it looks better than studded leather. Obviously. :P

    D&D 5E (2014) What's wrong with a human-centric fantasy world?

    This is almost the dynamic between the Dwarf and I in my current favorite game. Except the Dwarf drinks also. Actually, he's who introduced my Elf(Crossing River is his name) to alcohol to begin with. Good times.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Lich with a Clone?

    Bah. Details. Maybe he started out as the royal advisor years ago(During which time she WAS ready and willing. And this being Necromancy, I imagine you only have to be ready and willing once.). Maybe deep down she DOES want to marry him. Maybe he's mind controlling her. Maybe he's such a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druids and metal armor

    I don't get why Druids can use metal weapons.
