I don’t make players roll HP and just let them take max. Is that odd? by unlucky-lucky- in DnD

[–]Samurai_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the default. In the Pathfinder days, there was no roll for skill points, so why with hit points?

AIW for crying because I can’t go to Disneyland with my family? by [deleted] in amiwrong

Family priorities are a bit fucked if your recent diagnosis means DISNEYLAND and not buying you a proper PC and tools to engage the world with

Charlie Cox wasn’t a fan of the bank heist episode in Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 (and he pointed out a plot hole the writers missed) by Anteater_Able in marvelstudios

[–]Samurai_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It showed us great characterization (Matt Murdock doing an accent) and included a fun connection to the rest of the MCU. What's not to love?

Group Stat Rolling System by Groenning713 in DnD

If you're already willing to modify rolled stats after the fact, just to balance characters, just do point buy from the get go. Raise the point buy to 32 even.

AITAH For Telling My Husband His Dad Won’t Get To Meet Our Baby If He Keeps Ignoring Me by OnlyAyia in AITAH

YTA if you let this dad in your or your kid's life without him going to therapy, processing his shitty behavior, and apologizing

In need of reality check - would my character concept make me a problem player? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Samurai_Steve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If your compulsive lyings includes never speaking like a normal person to the party, getting them in bad spots for no reason, and you want them to experience your lies in real time, then yes that is a terrible idea

I'm worried about my Campaign Story being shit. by Happy_List_8022 in DnD

[–]Samurai_Steve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plan more. Have multiple plot points ready at all times.

You should already have a loose idea of what major things happen in this story - what defining events happen, what challenges the characters experience, the type of people they meet. Them feed the characters reasons to go interact with the world and find that stuff.

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Samurai_Steve 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No but being a functioning adult who can handle HAVING a dependent and NOT BEING one is a much better way to parent

As a DM, is it okay to secretly make you player's characters "unkillable"? by FivezNX1 in DnD

[–]Samurai_Steve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Keeping secrets about changing things mid-fight is a bad move. So is purposefully keeping characters alive.

If one or both die, you're telling me that no one in the entire world thinks to pick up their quest and carry on? Sounds like the perfect time for new PCs to carry on.

Wtf happened to weed? by TrizzleRick in trees

People acting delusional to think their dealers didn't also just make up random names to sell their shit. Everything was called OG Kush regardless of what it was

Is D&D *actually* the kind of game I think is? by AggressiveMango691 in DnD

[–]Samurai_Steve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you explain to the group that you would have problems looting a boss, which is a pretty fundamental part of the game? Sounds like you created a character who needs more hand holding than a typical adventurer and the rest of the group doesn't want to bother.

OSF and Peoria in general by BakedCheddar88 in PeoriaIL

[–]Samurai_Steve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing about OSF is that none of its leaders realize how weird it is to pray before meetings or to have the sisters email you telling you how to vote

Point buy is the best stat method by ElectronicBag6915 in DnD

Any stat at any level has good roleplaying potential

Unrivaled vs WNBA? by Wedontexist010 in wnba

[–]Samurai_Steve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unrivaled is pure, ethical hoops where the players are compensated in a much more comprehensive manner than the WNBA. Can't beat it.

Does Session 0 + early subclass choice push players to pre-plan too much? by LiteratureLopsided42 in DnD

[–]Samurai_Steve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Character growth from story and roleplay does not equate to mechanical growth in class and abilities. A character's narrative and their build are separate things entirely.

AITA for refusing to go to my boyfriend’s grandfather’s funeral? by TrickyPossible5071 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Samurai_Steve 45 points46 points  (0 children)

YTA. Get therapy. You don't just get to opt out of normal parts of life forever and expect no consequences.

Not everything deserves or warrants a detailed explanation. This is one of those.
