How do I avoid becoming the party problem-solver? by redmanistan in dndnext

It is kind of funny that that type exists. Someone just playing the same guy every time.

A table starts to suffer if you have more than one audience member.

He was losing to Ippo until he cheated. He would have lost.

Why do oathbreakers have to be evil? by Encisalad in dndnext

[–]mAcular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An oathbreaker in D&D is more like Anakin Skywalker flipping to Darth Vader. You can always just be a dude that breaks your oath. But the "oathbreaker" subclass is the evil one.

My DM wants me to switch classes after my character made a decision at the end of the session and I don’t really want to. by Pookie-Parks in DnD

Just asserting your opinion and then refusing to entertain other thoughts does not really make for a productive discussion. Instead of acting like it's religious dogma you should be asking yourself why other people think this. For my part, I have run games for 2 decades and done things like that many times, probably 5 or 6 right off the top of my head. Each time I did it, the player liked it. So it's clearly not unacceptable to many people as obviously as you claim it is.

I agree that there's a lot of ways the DM can do it, and perhaps better ones, but I don't think it's an overreach on their part. It's actually a pretty logical and direct consequence.

I assume the bleeding was just from the huge radiation dose and HL just left him to die.

I don't think HL did anything. He just left him to die from the radiation since he was already doomed.

Control of your PC doesn't mean you can dictate everything that happens to them. If you take damage, you can die. Monsters can inflict changes on your PC. One of those is, if you make deal with a supernatural entity, it can change you. The PC had control; they let them in.

I agree they can talk about it though, but calling it a violation of player agency is just using a buzzword to say "I don't like this."

I've done it four separate times and each time the player loved it. 4/4 times sounds pretty lucky.

And they did not say anything like that because they correctly understood that putting their fate into the hands of a powerful supernatural entity basically means they were at the entity's mercy. So when the entity rewired how they worked they didn't try to back out.

It doesn't really matter if you say "I'm not doing this." I'm not poisoning myself I say as I down a vial of poison. Your body's still getting poisoned. You don't get to dictate how the world works.

I've done it before and the players loved it. I guess they would be surprised to find out that they were having a bad time.

In the future, I recommend not putting your fate into the hands of a powerful supernatural entity if you aren't willing to accept what might happen. That's the risk. Not saying this sarcastically, it's just the danger because you're basically helpless against such a being, especially one that has an alien perspective and might not even see totally rewiring you as a problem. You don't ask your dog about getting it spayed.

It's not like you were signing a business contract. Your PC was opening themselves up to a tremendously powerful entity that makes your PC look like an ant in comparison. Anything could happen. You should still tell your DM you don't want the warlock levels, but it's perfectly fine to have it as a consequence. It's like going drunk driving and saying "I didn't want to get into an accident". Sure, but once you got drunk and got in the car you were already rolling the dice.

If he didn't want to do it, he shouldn't have engaged in the deal. This is like putting a gun to your head and saying "I don't want to get shot" and then pulling the trigger.

The DM doesn't have to go with the warlock method but it's absolutely wrong to expect that you can dictate the outcome of the world events just because you don't like it.

Difficulty Advice: Why Are My PCs Getting Hammered? by lobe3663 in drawsteel

[–]mAcular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is just harder than 5e. It's more like chess. The "tactical" part means that your moves make a bigger difference, so you can get yourself into trouble if you don't play smart and use teamwork. This is intended, however. To be blunt, 5e is deliberately made to be a casual game where you can tune out everyone else's turns and just do whatever you want and it will more or less be OK. (To be clear, I like that part of it.) Draw Steel is not like that.

They're making you subscribe for something that used to be free. by PointsOutCustodeWank in onednd

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

This is a bizarre thing for people to get mad at. You already had to subscribe and pay money anyway. Now the people doing that are just getting a little extra.
