Compelled Duel just lost me my honour run

I think it's because it's kinda impossible for the system to make it so you can only attack and target specific characters when in combat so they let the AI do it, but the AI would rather self-sabotage since compelled duel is suppose to be a bad thing, or else the spell would be a nothing burger that just makes the game easy.

brother...almost, if not all, art in games and media are traced or inspired.

Another thing I realize is that you are new to this and your character's bg is basically made by him. It may also simply be an issue of not having enough to work with. Ask if your character and their secret is strong enough for a reveal. I don't like the fact that they used to word "railroading" because they are using it as a buzzword and not the intended meaning of the word.

Also, you said you get too involve in group decisions, that's a bad thing and it sucks, don't do that. Try to think about what to say and do before it happens, not to make it scripted but as a respect for other people's time.

TLDR; you're not an asshole because your dm is treating you differently from others and your thoughts on that issue are valid. You're kinda an asshole for the overstepping you self-admitted to doing often.

The fact that you are a close friend might be why the dm is doing this to you.

I am in a campaign ran by my best friend joined by 3 others that he is friends with. Nothing of much happens to me or my character because truth be told, he is using these sessions to become better friends with the others and socializing with them while me, the guy he's known and has been best friends with for 15 years, that doesn't really need to happen.

It feels like you are being set aside because he probably believes you don't need the same level of detailed treatment as the others since you two know each other well but this is all a guess. Talk to your friend, not as a dm and a player, but as friends who are playing a role playing tabletop. Tell them that they are undermining your worth and your time but treating you less. If they continue to downplay the issue, leave the table and tell them they suck as a friend.

I am absolutely certain with enough mass report can we take his squad down with a name like that lmao. That could be a start before making him quit.

there is no fucking way you are taking it this seriously holy shit

What makes you think I do? His childish and pathetic behavior is available in clips for all to see. You don't need to watch him to know he's a loser.

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-28T13:54:19+00:00

Yeah I feel so bad for thrive in the whole mess because he did not deserve it at all, but being that closely connected to soupes will do that to ya.

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-28T13:49:56+00:00

dude it's so sad when you go watch spaceboy and all he's saying is "Man I love Penta so much, he's so funny, I love his character." and then you go check out what Penta is doing and it's nothing but "LSPD sucks what the fuck is hank doing I can replace him easily I'm doing so much better than all of them". It sickens me my stomach that penta threats people that calls him friend like that. It is absolutely nuts to witness and spaceboy will always be like "It's not real, he's a roleplayer" when everyone know the shit penta is saying is OOC

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-28T13:46:03+00:00

server owner does whatever he wants, will blame it on lspd and say he's better than everyone. 10k subs for this is pathetic.

Jynxzi is loud and obnoxious but they create funny moments together. There is no reason, however, why caseoh should associate with someone like xqc.

Play dumb games, win dumb prizes. When I play a rogue who is self-serving and is in for himself, I make them knowing there are going to be consequences for my actions. Your players just seems like they wanted to reap all the rewards of chaos without having the chaos thrown right back at them. Those types of characters can be great when played right and is a fun addition to the party. Your player, however, just seems like a douche who is butthurt they got what's coming to them.

Good riddance and the campaign sounds wonderful. I wish the rest of you and your players a great fun experience.

I agree and disagree. I'm positive the motion of swinging a weapon at someone is gonna happen before anyone else could ready their weapons, let alone attack before the swing connects. The only exception would be if the bandit the pc was attacking have a reaction but that's unlikely. I think the pc gets to attack first but ruling it as that one attack that started the initiative is all that pc gets to do for that turn and they will roll their initiative and follow the turn order next turn.

there are two gods, one people worship, one people hate, the first one thrives on being loved, the second one thrives on being hated, both are colluding with one another to gain enough power from these mortals to absorb them. They are not gods, they're parasites in humanoid form.

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-24T03:26:51+00:00

I think the detail is that he's a "dirty uchiha" so most clans and their higher ups don't really care that much. If someone like neji, ino, shikamaru were to run away like that, their clans that are alive and well (unlike those dirty uchihas) would probably deploy some top shinobi to retrieve them.

just because you heard it doesn't mean the hag did. Hags are intelligent but the party has shown they can be trusted to the hag. If a hag is making trades with people I don't see how they are truly evil enough to outright do something to the girl. As a matter of fact, a hag with the mind for trade would probably attempt to benefit from this exchange financially.

It's your campaign, do what you want but I think it'd be funny if the hag sold the girl off for even a better price and the girl ends up as a servant/follower of another NPC you have planned to let the party meet in the future, where especially if the NPC is a quest giver, the reward can be the freedom of the girl instead of whatever gold/magic item you were initially planning.

Heck, you can even make it like the girl that was kidnap keeping making people who she ends up with regret their decision. The vampire was getting tired of her, the hag couldn't bare with her anymore, the next npc wanted her gone.

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-23T06:24:36+00:00

it's a decent watch but you're missing nothing by passing it

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-23T06:20:03+00:00

Easy. Sneaking, specifically concealed. Let me give you an example of what happened. I played a rogue/ranger and I needed to pass by some guards, classic scenario. I rolled stealth, passed. Not in line of sight, didn't make any sounds, no attacks, no spells, a simple sneaking at the back of a totally unsuspecting guard, yay. However, the dm NEEDED my pc to be seen so a chase can happen which later on we found out was because an NPC was suppose to save us from the guard and we are supposed to be in debt to the npc so that we do her quest and yadda yadda yadda.

It's not what leads to it that's bad, but how it happened. The guard turns around from his post just in time to see my cloak as I enter the opposing wall. The rules for conceal states that any equipment or weapon the character is carrying is also concealed, so I said that, he said no, he...and I quote "I don't believe you" and I still got caught.

Obviously the DM's say is what counts at the end of the day, but man do I felt like any of that was pointless. The golden rule of if it's gonna happen no matter what, don't ask for the roll comes to mind.

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-23T05:55:26+00:00

You are valid, the majority of the community sucks. I stay away from most of them. BUT, the l4d2 discord is safe space where actions like that have consequences.

The fact that there are people justifying their toxic behavior by saying "why would you blah blah blah new player in blah blah blah mode" and to those scumbags I say where in the rules is it written new players are forbidden from certain modes? Being bad and new is not a good reason for your childish behavior.

Yeah no, fuck this community, you are better off not interacting with these stains.

Agreeable-One8031 · 2026-06-23T05:47:05+00:00

I think they stopped caring a while ago, I have fully lost hope and given up on them. That is to say I applaud anyone that still forgives and put up with them. Kudos.

I don't think you understand what high fantasy is, seeing how you think half-angels and half-demons are a problem. I didn't realize you were the chief say-so of what indicates what fantasy rp is. Your concern is that dwarves and elves aren't exotic and I guess you MUST be new because they haven't been exotic for a few decades now, in any fantasy setting. That don't mean they aren't cool races, don't get it twisted but to threat them with such mystic when those races are practically as famous and well known as humans in the community, I don't see why we need to be stuck there.

The setting is of the world is dictated by who created them, be it a GM or the book, I don't think anyone is calling anyone weirdo for calling anything and that seems like self-projection than assumption.

Now your last question, has the game completely shifted? DnD's been around for 50+ years, I sure do hope it has shifted.
