Honestly? Everyone in my dnd group just wears sweatpants or a tshirt and pants style of pjs. Long hair of anyone is usually up in a messy bun and no one wears make up. We do not care, lol. But we enjoy the game! I think a few of us have shown up and played in work uniform but that’s about as dressed up as any of us have remained during dnd day. I think most of us take that day as our day off for the week which is why most of us don’t even bother working that day.

This video is just perfect. Both halves can stand completely on their own.

@@Politizer Not six, but he could realistically get to 3 without that much effort and he probably counts two weapon fighting for two different attacks. A fighter dual-wielding would have two attacks per round, with a third if he used action surge. As the OP said he was a very inexperienced DM, I'm going to assume he gave the player some kind of object with haste or something similar to that. In a single round, that fighter could then use 4 attacks. If he specialized as a Battle Master, he could add Riposte for a fifth. That's a pretty basic, not-cheese build. You could start going into stuff like sorcerer/bard using scorching rays or samurai fighters specced into rangers to really abuse the system, especially as you go past level 5-6.
