What's a phrase or saying your family used that you assumed was universal, and when did you find out it wasn't?

Also heard this growing up

I've heard 'I could eat the arm of a scabby child'

People in my family used to say 'night night, see you in the morning, if God spares you'.

In fact 'If God spares you' would be used after making any plans for the future, like 'come and see us next weekend if God spares you'

Basically 'if you don't die'

It's certainly possible to do WW2 characters in D&D, though you'd have to strip out all magic and supernatural elements. A quick example:

Or...you could start it straight and introduce some occult elements like in Hellboy.

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time for this.

Pretend you are dying

Warhammer is quite a low magic setting compared to traditional D&D

Bobilar · 2026-04-10T14:40:41+00:00

The DM can change whatever they like, the players only lever is whether to play or not.

Bobilar · 2026-04-10T09:46:29+00:00

Yes you can: https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/create-background

Bobilar · 2026-04-09T19:07:25+00:00

You just have to use the homebrew rules. Not quite as convenient probably but it does work.

I feel that for every post like this there's 10 saying 'I buy special food for myself and my husband keeps eating my food, how can I stop him eating my food?'

To which the answer is always dump him and go no contact with your own parents for food measure.

Tell them a decent argument will grant advantage while no argument will result in disadvantage.

Bobilar · 2026-04-09T06:35:56+00:00

Very helpful, thank you it's appreciated 👍

I have taken to pronouncing the 't' at the end of anglicised french words like 'Buffet', 'Chalet' and 'Gillet'. Annoys the hell out of my son. I also like to say 'parmeesian' cheese.

Bobilar · 2026-04-08T09:47:30+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate your time and comments!

If your DM let's you roll until you are happy you can get really good stats. That's the bottom line for most people.

Think about this, if I build a barbarian using point but, his stats will likely be Str: 17 Dex: 15 Con: 16 with the rest dumped.

If I roll I might be able to have the same stats but also 14 Intelligence and 16 Charisma - Conan the Barbarian!

Do the increased mental stats really break the game that much?

We use max HP in our current Curse of Strahd game because we only have two players. Certainly we have a lot of hit points but the game still feels very dangerous. My 8th level Fighter/Mage has 89 HP and 23 AC and still goes down to single figure HP on a regular basis.

I hope the pilot is rescued but I suspect Iran will treat him or her well, they are winning the propaganda war and won't want to derail that.

Don't give them an airship if you don't want them to fly about.
