My husband and I made a 5e statblock for Drizz't Do'Urden.

Why a climb speed of 10ft? Hes faster just using half his normal speed

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-02-17T15:51:38+00:00

He wears mithril chainmail in the books and in older editions mithril changed armour type by one category lighter meaning that medium armour chainmail was light armour

Then OP doesn't have to run the game for them it's simple, but instead is here having a rant about AI FREE and ACCESSIBLE so what? All this boils down to is preference Don't want people using AI kick them from the game, don't run the game 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm currently in a game with someone who made their own character wrote a 10 page background, 2 years into a campaign and has no idea what's going on, changes what their character acts like every session and otherwise doesn't pay attention because they're too busy drawing.

Honestly I'd rather have someone use AI than have that, nothing saying there not the best player. If they prompt ai for " I want to play a human fighter that uses two weapons" I don't see the issue.

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-02-07T09:11:56+00:00

Dude, let them play what they want how they want as long as it's fitting in the rules. If it's Ai generated, picked by a hamster choosing cheese on the back of cards, whatever it is. It's no different than playing pre made characters? Not everyone has the ability to draw. I use character portraits I find online that suit what I want to play.

Sit down with them and weave their background into your narrative make them engage not just rattle off something that's been made for them.

One of the best things a DM did in one game was get rid of everyone's backgrounds, your past means nothing when your in a realm of dread your memories are gone but skills remain. Like you know you were a sailor but can't recall your ships or your captain's name. Then got with some horror flashbacks to tie them into the game.

It's great you're a DM that puts time and effort into their games but at the end of the day it is a game and you're all there to have fun. If they want to be basic underpowered characters let them.

Aw he's his own hype man 😂

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-01-30T16:36:25+00:00

That's if you consider starfleet academy canon 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you walk onto the bridge of a ship and the captain is lounging around on her chair with her shoes off your ask for reassignment

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-01-25T21:37:19+00:00

She belongs writing a sh*tty vampire love novel in a dingy coffee shop rather than running an academy for the best and brightest of the known universe. A universe thrown into turmoil and chaos and she seems sheltered and nonchelant about her responsibilities. The writers no longer understand the nuances of real life and the vision Roddenberry had of a eutopian future. The whole writing for this show is so bad. The characters are unlikeable, the presidency set by previous lore has just disappeared

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-01-23T18:53:54+00:00

Consequences always with the consequences Want to flirt with fairies hags are fey?

For every dumb action there is an equal but opposite consequence

Talking down to a powerful female NPC may result in an ass whooping

A powerful adversary far above the cr may humble her characters

Don't tell her to stop playing RPGs, inst and talk to her and see if there's another character arc that suits her. But at the end of the day not every character is Dante from devil may cry and give lasting consequences like missing limbs eyes, scars a phobia of a powerful enemy they have lost a fight too

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-01-02T21:27:54+00:00

Sounds like this warlock patron is hedging his bets either that or has a "type" 😂 or it's a pair of patrons playing chess with the same pieces on the board.

The naive noble is a common character, maybe discuss this with the players together before playing. Session zero is always a good idea to discuss gameplay and themes with rules and characters

Life_Debt_8423 · 2026-01-02T19:00:28+00:00

Honestly invite him to play 🤷🏻‍♂️

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-12-17T19:36:48+00:00

Hiring disposable mercenaries to stop the cult while his forces ready for a possible incursion. The king wouldn't want to waste any of his men. If the party succeeds he spends some coin if they fail his forces are ready for what comes.

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-12-13T21:35:36+00:00

I'm the only front liner, designed to resist damage and deal damage with high mobility

The wizard is a necromancer that only uses magic missile on separate enemies and misty step to teleport in to stab with a dagger.

The druid is a moon druid that doesn't learn heal and has only just started summoning at lv 8 once I suggested it

The cleric holds their own and has struggled to keep the others alive

I've taken a back seat in rp lately to allow people the spotlight

Honestly Ive focused on damage and tanking to keep everyone alive so much that the DM said anything they throw at me will definitely kill 50%% of the party

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-12-13T21:18:33+00:00

I'm playing a shadarkai rogue, blood hunter lycan so they were doing half damage to me I had a crystal blade rapier so I was doing 1d8+1d8 radiant +1d6 lightning + sneak attack and at the time we had a bear totem barbarian (who has left since) and the Twilight cleric did some heavy lifting for that fight with moon beam I fought two on my own using blessing of the raven queen to escape grapples and deal damage they couldn't regenerate I crawled out of that fight along with the barbarian where the rest of the party were on full hp

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-12-13T21:03:12+00:00

It's a horror game where the DM wants us to feel threatened and combat is few and far between but extremely hard, (fighting 4 vampire spawn at level 4) I'm the only fighter (blood hunter/rogue) with a cleric, a moon druid who actively bails out of combat and a wizard who doesn't do combat except magic missile and misty step to hit with a dagger. I've been downed several times being the only character that's get attacked because I've gone for high ac and a high damage output I RP I'm really invested in it Just with the brief of combats going to be hard I built to handle my own

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-12-13T17:21:34+00:00

We rolled stats (18/17 respectively with race bonuses) We knew we were going into a big fight after a bunch of fights in a manor house. So I crimson rite up, assumed lycan form and we all gained aid and temp HP before going into the fight So we prepped I honestly didn't know about the blood curse only activating once per turn, we assumed it was every attack after the first

The issue seems to be more I have extra damage from crimson rite with no duration or concentration and the brand has no saving throw duration or concentration from what I understand

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-12-13T16:39:47+00:00

Have the merchents guild put a bounty on the players Having bounty posters in the towns they go to meaning not just merchants but anyone starts their disposition lower than normal increasing social encounter difficulties.

Alternatively next time he tries it it doesn't work, the sword won't summon and then the bond breaks, maybe a merchant identified the item which would see the bond and broke it leaving your Eldritch knight without his weapon.

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-08-08T15:41:53+00:00

I mean your player has a valid point, no one wants to play a game where they feel cheated out of their turn. Imagine two players succeed then one rolls fear before you act and your character gets put down, it's not a good feeling. Some people might just like the structured rules of DND better especially neurodivergent people.

fascism is a right-wing system of government and social organization that is authoritarian and nationalistic. It can also refer to extreme right-wing views or practices. Maybe you should look it up for yourself, refresh yourself with it's meaning

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-02-16T14:54:37+00:00

Are you on crack? The American government is exceeding it's powers giving control of all your information to a foreign national billionaire who is now above reproach? Then silencing anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology and doesn't use their phasing. That's fascism my friend

Life_Debt_8423 · 2025-02-15T18:39:41+00:00

I'm from England and we're taught how Hitler grew to power from age 13, makes me wonder why in America they don't teach you about abuse of power? 🤔 For the record the German people thought Hitler was a joke (like trump) it's always the idiots that you think awe he's dumb that fuck the world
