Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scott Christian" data-source="post: 8211205" data-attributes="member: 6901101">Outside of a DM, I once had a warlock that used dreams very effectively on the other players. I had locks of all their hair, and would use their dreams to plant seeds as to what to do. I convinced the paladin to give me his three artifacts (they were the main questline - build a crown). I convinced the rogue to be my bodyguard. And I convinced our cleric to always heal me first, as that was the wish of his deity. Then when he did, I would use illusion to make it look like his healing worked better than it should have.I showed up to probably eight different sessions with a typed out "dream." I would get there early, hand it to the DM, and then he had to pretend he was the one handing the players these dreams. So they had no idea these were coming from me, but instead thought they were coming from our mysterious benefactor who was leading the fey realm in their fight against the antagonist - a type of corruption. They just thought that since I was fey, I had some special role to play in how the quest gets solved.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> In the end, when they found out, it was priceless. I was the same character I had always been, a manipulating spoiled young man who believed he was  more important and special than everyone.Incidentally, I never once casted a damage spell for all 20 levels. A fact my teammates bemoaned, but that gave even more impetus that I was special - because I had never hurt anyone. Turns out the two were uncorrelated, even for me. I certainly didn't plan for them to think that, but they did. Another priceless moment.</blockquote>
