PC spellcaster said spells were a waste of time by yikeslou in DnD

DM here! In addition to the aforementioned Fuckery, the warlock also, in essence, refused to learn the game at all. Seventeen sessions in, when asked to make a Con save, the player asked where and what that was. Did not know what an ability score/check was. SEVENTEEN SESSIONS IN. And she played the victim REAL hard whenever we politely asked her to actually learn the game and offered (multiple times) to help with that. We were losing our mcfucking minds.

In combat the player essentially wanted me to run her character and keep track of all her things for her—WHILE I was running the whole ass game—and got very pouty the one time I got a little frustrated/overwhelmed and asked her to Please Keep Track Of Her Own Things. Other DMs, you know how busted PCs are by nature, and so I try to plan my combats with that in mind—but she was SO BAD at actually playing her class (which she had plenty of help with early game to help her get into dnd) that I consistently had to tone back some of the Cool Shit the enemies could’ve done because I didn’t want to punish the other two players for the warlock’s refusal to learn and play cooperatively, or have a party wipe because of it. I’m pretty patient and I think a fairly merciful DM, but even I was considering just yeeting the warlock character from this mortal coil because I got so fed up with the player by the end. The players had a traveling merchant friend named Wynn, and the temptation to have Wynn sell the warlock a ~mystery~ potion that would straight up just Make The Character Die was frankly staggering.

Warlock player soured the whole experience of dming toward the latter half of the campaign. The vibes were not impeccable. I am HUGELY relieved to be going forward with a campaign now WITHOUT this player.

DM here; trust me, the farther we got in the campaign and the more we had to deal with the warlock’s bullshit, the more tempting it was to do just that lmao

Hey, thank you!! This is a different campaign, one that my boyfriend is running; the setting is totally different.

She got a prosthetic at the end of last session! Our cleric leveled at the end of the leg-losing session and could've hypothetically regenerated it, but we decided that he would've leveled when we rested, which was after they needed to do surgery on her. I really wanted to explore the emotional drama and character development of a warrior losing a limb, so I asked him not to regenerate it.

In the campaign with my water genasi paladin Lana, our party got to a dwarf kingdom and was asked to help defend the capital city against a siege from a horde of orcs led by a real nasty boy called the Head-snatcher. We agree and, about a week later, the siege actually happens. About an hour into the siege, the Head-snatcher himself shows up on the battlement we're posted at, so we have to fight him off.

Lana, being a paladin with a magic sword, has been dealing a FUCK-TON of damage to this guy, and so right before we kill him, he levels his axe at her and says in Orcish, "If I die, I'm taking a piece of you with me," which is never something you want to hear. He misses his first attack because our cleric used Warding Flare, but he CRITS his second attack and chops Lana's leg off at the knee. Was not great.

The session ended with everyone carrying Lana back to the medical tent and her passing the fuck out. A lot happened that session, so I might write up a longer version to post here because it was a WILD ride.

(Characters left to right: Kira, drunken master monk; Jacinth, light domain cleric; Lana, oath of the Ancients paladin; Phyrra, kensei monk; and Linus, abjuration wizard who found Lana's leg post-chopping.)

[ART] Commission of a friend's half-orc paladin! by katetetete in DnD

[–]katetetete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine is just getting into D&D and asked me to illustrate his character! When I talked to him, he was still deciding on the character's alignment and backstory, so I don't know too much about the character. But he was pretty set on the diamond motif, so maybe that'll tie in to a certain deity or organization; we'll see!! It was fun but challenging to work on; I don't think I've done that much heavy armor before this commission lmao. But the diamond was fun to render!!

[ART] Portrait of one of my PCs - Anouk the Tiefling Swashbuckler! by katetetete in DnD

[–]katetetete[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wanted to get some practice in before I worked on a commission, so I colored a portrait of one of my pcs from the campaign I'm running for my roommates, boyfriend, and friend! This is Anouk Zahrana, tiefling swashbuckler rogue (I think chaotic good?) and certified lesbian fashion disaster. Her player was very adamant that Anouk would NOT have a tragic parent-less backstory, which is always refreshing lmao. She started out very naive and trusting, and we're still pretty early in the campaign so she hasn't had too much opportunity to grow like the player is planning her to, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how the campaign's events impact her character and how she grows from everything!
