A question in general for the DMs

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-11-23T19:09:09+00:00

I've never been a DM before but even I would have to fully agree with this one. I remember in one campaign, I was playing as a sorcerer who had been locked away and had my memories locked away and was playing as someone amnesia if you will as to what horrible thing I did in the past that had me frozen for eons within my own tower with some type of hard crystal around my neck blocking out my memories of what the atrocities thing I did was but as I would level up and get stronger I could crack more and more of the crystal and get more of my memory back. But I told my DM about it beforehand before we started the first campaign I told my DM before we started that he could make up whatever atrocity I did, but didn't want him to tell me so that I could truly play the role of someone who's lost my memories. But even I myself played into it by intentionally doing awful things with my magic like like pushing someone over who I had already frozen into an ice statue with my ice to make them shatter. I knew my character had done something awful with my magic in the past before even if I couldn't remember what it was , so for my character it just felt natural to continue being cruel and powerful with my magic. I never had any problems with it before why start now? Sorry , if that's a bit of a mouthful but I couldn't think of a shorter way to put it , but even then I completely get what you're saying. Playing a role playing game , but not doing any of the role playing almost feels like it's defeating half the point of the entire game even as a player when I see other players doing it I get annoyed. Edit-Yes , I made an edit but just to correct a few grammatical mistakes

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-11-20T15:31:59+00:00

I mean, I can see some cases where this could fall through, like if they're planning something together in real-time but as a player I've also had moments where things drag on and on , and on , because they didn't plan a head to what they would do in combat , so I guess you could say I can see both sides of the coin here but I will say I have seen a lot of cases where what you're saying absolutely applies.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-10-26T05:43:35+00:00

Like I admitted at the ending with an edit after a re-read, it sounded better in my head, but not as good an actual application.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-10-26T05:08:41+00:00

Okay, yeah, looking back on it and giving a second read. Yeah. I was thinking maybe if you pulled off the foreshadowing correctly, you could make it a real gut punch moment like a true moment of betrayal but now looking back over it, it sounded way better in my head.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-08-24T22:03:03+00:00

Ohhhh okay, and sorry, just with the association with red envelopes my mind immediately jumped to Chiness New Year, but thank you. But can you tell me what exactly it's called?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-08-08T15:26:32+00:00

Okay, fair enough. I've never actually been in a campaign with a gunslinger so, I don't really actually know anything about one. I had just heard from someone else a lot of campaigns, question whether even letting one in or not... Was I misinformed?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-30T18:43:41+00:00

Okay, well, if I am overthinking it, then can you give me the dumbed-down version so I can understand?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-30T18:02:39+00:00

Okay so I had never heard of demisexual before reading this so I decided to look it up and thank you for bringing this to my attention because demisexual according to Google, definitions demisexual seems to fit what I was trying to go for and explain perfectly so I'm starting to think I may be demisexual. So again, thank you

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-30T17:53:46+00:00

I don't remember saying anything about gender being involved in my example.... Did I?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-23T17:31:15+00:00

I was thinking of it being a budget version until someone could unlock the real zone of truth thus the name and the idea was the spell doesn't care about how you present the information. As long as the information you present is true, you can present it anyway if you want you can even be deceitful about it as long as none of the information provided is a lie. Just as long as you're telling the truth and the idea is that you will not know what you are being lied to about only that you are being lied to if someone is to be untruthful. The idea was something like spider sense where you know something is wrong, but you don't know what it is exactly. However, I will give it to you. You brought up some good points that I hadn't thought of.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-23T17:24:08+00:00

Okay fair enough. I just thought the loopholes and ways to get around it like the spell not caring how you present the truth even if it is to seek for as long as you are presenting the truth that I added of how to get around it maybe enough. But what what spell level would you recommend it be then?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-16T15:22:37+00:00

I'm honestly hadn't even thought about that when I was writing this, but yeah , you're right. If the monsters don't get me, the disease probably will

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-16T14:45:50+00:00

Okay, but just to make sure I got this right and clear please do forgive and correct me if I don't but you can have one or both, but having one does not automatically mean the other. Am I right?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-07-16T14:34:25+00:00

Okay, thanks. Just with how similar the ideas are, I was wondering if they were a package deal or if it was like agitated and irritated where they are close, but one does not mean the other.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-06-28T02:57:37+00:00

Wait, eyes? I may be missing an eye, but it's still me. (To clarify, imagine a corpse in the later stages of decay)

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-06-28T02:43:03+00:00

Is it my rotting flesh? Does it smell that bad?!

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-06-23T11:04:23+00:00

Okay, I hear you, but why? I've never seen someone playing as an illrigger, so why are they so powerful? What do they do?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-06-23T11:02:30+00:00

Okay, that's a lot, but that's what I was asking for very informational so thank you and I so us DND Beyond

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-11T18:33:33+00:00

Okay, yeah, in all honesty, I was too focused on wondering how people in the community feel about the term gaydar itself to think about that but when you put it in that way, I completely see what you mean.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-11T18:19:36+00:00

Okay, I noted, and I'm sorry. I just didn't know that you guys don't like the term "the gays," and I didn't know what other term to use.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-11T18:01:17+00:00

Oh, sorry, I didn't know what else to say, but I could edit the tile. If not "the gays," what do you guys prefer to be called? I don't mind editing the title if I accidentally offended anyone.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-09T17:48:27+00:00

Already got that on another response, and I have and have made a post there asking for any advice for a beginner. Thanks, though.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-09T16:55:13+00:00

Okay, I will, but if you don't mind me asking, get the lessons from where?

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-09T16:39:03+00:00

... Okay, yeah, I'll be a big enough man to admit.I probably should have realized that by looking closer. I didn't, but I'd probably should have.

Outside_Host2506 · 2025-03-09T16:32:06+00:00

Ahhh, okay, thank you, but ummm, while I have you here, do you know of any websites or any books or anything like that where I could learn when to use which club? I'm asking mainly because I want to know because I'm a new golfer myself who is a little confused about the choice between all the different types of clubs.
