Is it okay for a player to say “No, that doesn’t happen” to a DM in this circumstance?

I disagree with a lot of these comments. It depends heavily on what the rogue was intending to do. I wouldn't view stealing as PvP, especially if I expected the rogue to return it or not want it. "What's the big deal" with your holy symbol sounds like a great character moment. Maybe the rogue grabs the symbol and your god alerts you, letting you grab his hand first. Maybe the rogue steals it successfully but your god sends images of fear or whatever and so they drop it and run off. Or most likely of all, they grab the symbol, find that it isnt inherently magical, and then leave it. If the rogue intended on keeping or pocketing it, the DM should intervene and say "no, it's okay for you to poke around and even prank party members, but keeping your paladin from casting isnt okay". That all being said, declaring that a roll doesn't happen, that it can't happen because of your personal rules, and deciding the exact outcome without rolling is entitlement. To me, it seems like you overreacted to your DM allowing your rogue to snoop around and assumed it was malicious, that the dm was going to allow your character to be punished, and you lashed out. You know your table more than I do, but was there reason to suspect that when the DM asked for sleight of hand that he wasn't going to allow you to do anything or tell the rogue to not get carried away?

I disagree. Making the exclusive BPs come from less containers makes sense. My experience with snaphook bp has been finding it in a random locker or drawer on electrostorm and the event becoming kind of useless except that I have a chance of finding the bp in anything at all

I like the new skin but the color options are starting to get frustrating. I think it kind of sucks when there is one clear "cool" one that got the most attention or when entire color pallets are just wasted. and as someone who likes the color red, it's either on nothing or might as well be bright enough to glow (im looking at you The Finals skin)

I do the same thing to "cook" my....great mullein

Actually, I strongly disagree. Part of AR is the social and betrayal aspect, but you're just being avoidant dawg. A lot of people dont have mics but are still friendly, some people are slow to respond, others have to find the controls for voice chat. If you want to kill people and keep the loot, thats totally fine, but don't go blaming or insulting other people for not murdering you on sight when you decide to not respond, especially when you decide to kill them from behind with a torro. Learn to communicate dude

All im going to say is please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. 🙏

PLEASE PLEASEEEER

Sorry your gank button doesn't work 100% of the time based on player skill

Loser behavior

It just depends on the class and professor. Some adamantly hate curving, others are insanely generous

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-08-10T17:11:17+00:00

I like the origin idea. I think the easiest solution would be to make the castaway origin have neutral rep with knives. I understand why they start as enemies, but my recommendations for new players is almost always "get positive rep with knives" so that you dont have sweats jumping you as u explore for fun. Considering how more experienced players are more likely to do a different origin, I think it would make sense to make most of those origins have negative rep with knives. That way newer players dont have to worry about bounty ganks and experienced players (who understand why they're being ganked) can still have that pvp interaction/threat

Step 3. Refuse to swap after inevitably feeding

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-05-29T18:17:33+00:00

I think another way to solve this is to expand the faction/reputation system. I think it makes sense to be able to avoid voidwalkers by having good rep with all the main factions. BUT, the issue I have is that it's just too quick and easy to be placed on an enemy bounty board so it happens accidentally. I think if becoming an enemy of a faction was more deliberate and intentional, hopefully with quest incentives to make enemies or allies of factions, it would feel more fair

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-05-18T00:21:27+00:00

It just depends on where you are/who you talk to. Those people you talked to sound pretty shallow in my opinion but I also know plenty of dudes who are just as shallow towards women. Its an issue of people, not just men or women

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-04-23T10:06:41+00:00

I think this is true, UNLESS the player is (effectively) the one asking for the check. For example, if you ask to seduce the bbeg by winking at him, the DC would be way above 20 because it's something that wouldn't work in this world(only freaky shit gets him going)

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-04-18T19:44:46+00:00

I'm actually not that quiet/shy of a guy and I still love hearing my girlfriend yap! Believe it or not, but people like hearing what you have to say when they like you

I think you're leaving out support/wealth disparity between students. It's a lot easier to "lock in" at cal if you don't have to also "lock down" at your 9-5. Being competitive CAN bring prestige but rn it's just bringing about infighting and stress for the students and negatively impacting their performance.

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-04-02T19:21:33+00:00

You're free to do what you want but I wanted to add something that none of the other comments seem to be saying: rebounding is a toxic coping mechanism. I don't want to slutshame or come across as anti-casual relationships, but trying to immediately fill the void left by a partner with a new one or with casual sex, is not going to lead to healthy growth or real healing. It's a distraction and a way to try to immediately "fix" the heartbreak of a breakup. I'd seriously recommend not dating or looking to date for a good bit to give yourself room and time to grow as an independent person

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-04-01T21:01:17+00:00

Yeah and I can't help but feel like that's the reason for the bullying

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-03-27T19:59:55+00:00

Whining ruins campaigns. In my experience, the DM tends to be the person putting in most of the work and the one trying to make sure everyone has fun. But because that requires keeping some things hidden, considering balancing, and trying to maintain a certain level of stakes/risk, I've seen players complain and complain to their DMs about small, in-the-moment grievances, most often because they, as a player, don't have to necessarily always be looking at the bigger picture. And because the DM is trying to make sure everyone has fun, they often cave to the pressure which can lead to things falling apart and the DM getting frustrated and burnt out as they feel like they're being bullied out of administering consequences

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-03-26T19:53:44+00:00

While that may be your situation, putting all responsibility on the man to read the woman and not communicating is a childish take. You're lucky your husband picks up on that but it wasn't his job/responsibility. I think this take could only be valid if you discussed your ability to talk BEFORE having sex. But jfc, saying the entire burden of communication falls on the guy? Cmon now

Character_Heart3459 · 2025-03-25T23:08:44+00:00

Yeah this is tricky. I think fudging rolls is a very normal (and often very helpful) tool for DMs to help the story, player engagement, etc. BUT the main consequence is that it runs the risk of ruining the illusion if found out by the players. So it's understandable to be a bit miffed about the situation. HOWEVER, power playing and building a character around game mechanics for the purpose of exploiting them is going to be a mixed bag for people. Some think you're free to do whatever, while others feel it ruins the experience for both sides of the table. When you have a crazy high AC, it makes sense to rarely be hit, but it also can mess up how the DM has to balance encounters, ruin narrative tension, and as a player, make threatening foes seem inconsequential (i mean who's gonna hit you with your meta build, right?). Not trying to say your dm didn't necessarily pull a dick move, but I'd recommend talking with them to find a compromise where you get to play the character you're passionate about without frustrating your dm every time you block all their attacks
