D&D: Perception (feat. Squire)

[@thespongemonkey]

People are saying that that's why you have party members, but i theorize that he did have party members, but his perception is so bad that he didn't realize he left them behind.

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Roll again, they're actually standing right there.

[@pretzelbomb6105]

Check again, they already cleared the dungeon while the necromancer was busy yelling.

[@gaterzoom]

That's actually pretty smart

[@FlyingDominion]

PLOT TWIST: his perception is fine and this was all just a ruse to have the RP-focused bard(?) distract the necromancer while the combat portion of the group cleared the dungeon.

[@xanderman1201]

That is clearly wrong...Didn't you see them standing behind him? Maybe you should roll a perception check?

[@SquireComedy]

I feel I've been cast as the villain, purely based on my nationality.

[@syrup7894]

Squire yes

[@reignmyster]

i think he has so low perception that he did not notice that his eyes were open.

[@blakekillionfilm]

I doubt having his eyes open would improve his performance

[@dicocraftgames6829]

A running joke in my dnd campaign is that when we role low perception we tend to say something along the lines of, These snozberries taste like snozberries

[@mattrenteria7951]

Dicocraft Games I have a party of three what is a cleric with high perception another is a druid with high perception the last one is me a dwarf Barbarian with 8 wisdom so whenever I roll to "check things out" and fail miserably the DM or I alwats say "you/I see a wall" hell the first role of our game was a natural one of perception check from my dwarf

[@danmenard6917]

Normally when my players fail in their perception rolls I just say "You suddenly notice that you have feet!"

"I think you'll find I have one of the highest intelligence scores in the land." Well THERE'S your problem. Perception runs off of Wisdom.

Meh, just max out your dexterity, then you can have spider sense. Instead of finding the trap, you just walk through, trigger the dang thing. then use your lightning fast reflexs to get out of the way :) still wont find the door though..................................

As a DM, I confirm this is exactly how players behave.

The thing is even if they do find the door they're not going to trust the thing anyway. No, there must be some kind of secret trapdoor ingenously hidden somewhere around here.

"Why did you bring me back to life?" "Because I stayed up 'till half four in the morning, laying out this intricate necromancer dungeon, and it's no fun for me if some idiot comes along, and dies slipping on the bloody doormat." As funny as this may be to anyone else, as a DM myself, this is too real. As a side note, I once had a character with absolute crap charisma, but rolled a natural 20 and avoided a fight altogether which the DM had spent hours setting up. Again, too real.

[@jocosesonata]

I feel like it's an innate trait for every player to have, at least once, the mindset of: "Fuck your plot! Derailing for life!"

[@Ajehy]

Jocose Sonata - There was a party in my college RP club, playing 7th Sea. One of the characters had been a victim of the inquisition and REFUSED to go back to not-Spain. They spent the next 3 IRL months shopping while the villain carried out their evil plan. Still won, though, because one of the PC’s stole the villain’s shoe earlier in the game... it’s complicated.

[@jocosesonata]

"Still won, though, because one of the PC’s stole the villain’s shoe earlier in the game... it’s complicated." So... even though the 'heroes' did not at all deal with the villain, they still won, all because one of them stole the villain's shoe. Complicated does not even _begin_ to encapsulate a shred of that statement. Defeating a villain, that was left to do their bidding unhindered for 3 real months, all because someone stole their shoe some time in the game. How in the fuck!? D&D is goddamned magnificent!

[@Ajehy]

Jocose Sonata - The shoe was part of a magical outfit that would allow the wearer to ascend to godhood. The villain went around gathering the other pieces, but without the one shoe, her power was incomplete. With all but one piece, she was super-end-boss powerful, but not unbeatable. They won, never realizing until later that the shoe was actually even important... one of the PC’s just stole it because she was annoyed at the owner (who wasn’t even the villain).

[@jaxusr235]

Ajehy That sounds like it would incredibly hilarious to watch.

[@Saccillia]

Alternatively, if you have a high Perception and roll a 20, you can see everything including the universe and occasionally break the fourth wall

[@LuneWatcher]

Oh my God, imagine if the character realizes that he and his world are just figments of people's imagination and some words and numbers on a piece of paper. That would be amazing.

[@eddiemate]

Finn ·-· Someone did do that in their game. Since they ran out of things to see and the player rolled Nat20, the illusion broke for a moment.

[@Saccillia]

Finn ·-· actually this has happened a couple of times in my clubs campaigns.. it is scary

[@Painfulldarksoul]

It also happens sometimes when you roll a 1, but the tone is of course different. The character looses all will to live and goes into an existencial crisis.

[@anthonynorman7545]

[@asiwir2084]

Louis Sutton That's literally my friend's warlock. He's nails every single social encounter and is a literall devil when it comes to bargaining but he went unconciouss literally every fight.

[@tiagodarkpeasant]

i had a warrior that looked old, and was the last to enter the party, so they didnt trust him that much, his first fight was a duel to the death,it started with losing 80% of his hit points in the first hit, while he missed the 3 first hits, and as everybody tought "he is dead", and them the oponent started to miss too, suddenly he hits a critical leaving the oponent with one hit point, that was based on luck but was so into character that could as well be made on purpose, he is not a skilled fighter, he is just a hero for less than a year but is 70 years old, with the health of a 20 years old, i am a different kind of the unluck one, i miss every roll except the most decisive, during 3 seasons straight i did nothing outside of roleplay the entire season while missing every test, wasting heals of my allies, to at the most decisive moment hit 3 sixes in five rolls incinarating the strongest foe that was about to kill the tank

[@Canadian_Zac]

2 of the players in my games are just exact opposites. The Rogue constantly rolls shit all the time, thankfully he got that Rogue luck thing so he never gets below a 10 now so he can actually do stuff out of combat now. The Paladin doesn't roll particularly well, but enemies just roll absolute shit to hit him. Last fight he solo'd a boss for about 6 turns while the others killed the mobs. The boss just couldn't roll above a 10 and whiffed for ages. Then the other PC's get involved and he just smashes the Rogue down to half health in 1 turn

[@katev4827]

Judging from the fact that the door is made of stone, with the hinges on your side, you can guess this is the back side of a hidden passage." Player: "I examine the door for traps. Got a 12 on investigation." Me: "The rotten-egg smell is distracting, but you take a look anyway. The door is solid flint, set in a steel frame. That's all you notice." Player: "I open the door!" Ever other player: *Heavy sigh of exasperation at the obvious trap being triggered* Me: "As you open the door, the steel and flint rubbing together produces sparks, igniting the foul-smelling gas. Take 30 fire damage as the stairs and island are engulfed in flames and a 15 foot long blast of flame shoots out the opened door." Player: "Oh, that's what that was? Anyway, I'm down, so if someone could feed me a goodberry or something?"

@@crazy4bricksthebrickbrothe722 I had to LITERALLY spell out to my players at one point that there was a VERY likely case of...natural gas in a cave system they were entering..with torches.. It was kind of hillarious. They were staring down the rather badly lit old mine. The lighting coming from some mossy stones that had been clearly added to the walls. A few metal rods sticking out of the side of the wall that seemed to have been a holding spot for a torch. The walls slightly burned for some reason and a smell of rotting eggs and sulfer in the air. One of the players then had the amazing idea of taking out a torch...I just stared at him for a moment as he asked if he could light it and I told him to roll a wisdow check. He rolled pretty high so I just went "You have this..weird feeling..lighting this at this moment might not be the most optimal thing right now..especially since you have the light cantrip!" He stared at me for a moment before it seems like he finally put two and two together and just went "oh..ohhh! There is gas in this mine, aint there...right...duhh" It was honestly hillarious. Normally I wouldn't be that nice but they were both new players and level 1 without a healer..it would have been baaaad

[@Bomber679]

I thought natural gas didn't actually have a smell, and that the egg smell was manually added in order to make it more obvious. Pretty sure that's why miners kept canaries, so they would pass out, alerting the miners to the gas they couldn't smell.

"One Time a guy in our party rolled a nat 20 on a perception check, but there was nothing he didnt already see, so the DM said "You're not quite sure, but for a few seconds it seems like you're standing on a giant's table. surrounded by 5 giants. Your party seems to look stiff and fake, and Large papers and Dice are strewn around you. Then, everything goes back to normal."

[@eris902]

I was expecting him to roll a nat 20 perception roll for an invisable ghost... and his attack roll on said ghost. Then just walk off a cliff to his death. Not that im speaking from experience or anything.

[@pinklemon3825]

One time my friend tried to see if there was a second floor on the tavern we were in, rolled a 1 and the dm just said “It’s the most ceilingish ceiling you’ve ever ceilinged. So ceilingish in fact that you fall over in awe”

[@DwayneMartinSingh]

the dice rolls were a nice touch. nat20 on the humor!

[@gambalinglad]

I love perception checks and getting a one like investing the floor and the dm says “ah yes the floor here is made out of floor”

[@YunsAvatar]

Allison Edge Meter: 6 We're back with the whole undermining thing. But this time she tried to subtly do it off camera.

[@RvEijndhoven]

I would give it a +2 for conspiring fit in some edge from the endslate, because she wasn't in the actual video.

[@YunsAvatar]

Normally the low-key undermining gets a 5. Because of how it was done in such an insidious way prompted the additional point.

[@DawnfireGalinndan]

What about her outright dismissal of the current regime in the Patreon bit? I'd say that's at least another +3.

[@YunsAvatar]

Let's be honest. With how often she's done the undermining, I should downgrade it in score. I think we're fine where we are on this one. She's been much more edgy.

[@k1ng_BL0C]

YunsAvatar what do you mean? Of course she was in the video She was dressed up as the doormat labeled "I am not a doormat"

[@jersmont1309]

i'm happy finding this channel after what 4 years?

[@DoorMonster]

Better late than never! Happy to have you here :)

[@CodeRym]

I feel like this is a conversation between the DM and a player.

[@rickyroughton8098]

I remember following a group into a secret meeting. This particular GM allowed Stealth to be maintained (but not initiated) in plain sight, but without mitigating circumstances you'd get a -20 penalty on your check. I didn't even try to hide. I got natural 20s on all my Stealth checks and they got natural 1s on all their Perception checks, which allowed me to stand at the table and watch and listen to their very secret discussion for five minutes before someone came in to deliver a message to one of the group and rolled anything but a 1.

It is near 9:40 here in the Philippines when I got a notification of this with the legendary squire

[@RAFMnBgaming]

You must have pretty good perception if you saw this all the way from Australia.

[@playwars3037]

4:07 , or when the GM just has enough XD. As awesome as always guys, always nailing the ending ^^.

[@MuchWhittering]

If people donate to Patreon, you'll have enough money to not make any more content! That's why people who dislike you should donate!

[@ArticulateDuck]

Oh, man. When I first read this, I thought it was somehow an extremely salty comment about how they "never put out any videos" or similar, but then I put on my glasses of +10 Insight.

[@Reinboa]

. . . What if I like them and I want to donate? Do I have to throw money in the trash?

[@whywhy8276]

weird deja vu im getting from this comment

After over a year, I finally found out what the intro music is! It's Knights Templar 2 - Johannes Bornlöf

[@revilo1228]

Omg, thank you :D I was just searching for a comment like this

[@sircastic959]

And then the Doormat, which was actually a mimic, ate him. Even though the evil necromancer was kind enough to specifically write "Not a doormat" on it.

[@robbiegarber898]

When you're a DM and your players keep rolling perception when you just put a bloody map in front of them.

[@naghtel1228]

Villain: “It’s no fun me if somebody come alone and dies slipping on the bloody doormat “ I love this line xD

[@Grifflez]

Hey look, it's *RODRIGUEZ ELCAZORRO's* bandana-mask

[@TheMartyredextras]

Never have the players roll for something that you need then to succeed at.

[@rustyanvile]

At the beginning of the skit Kyle looked like a mix between Wesley from the Princess Bride, and Captain Jack Sparrow

[@Shadethewolfy]

How low perception characters think finding a dungeon entrance is like: Tomb of Horrors-level difficult How finding a dungeon entrance is actually like: Big archway with a conspicuous stone door.

[@SaintDaisley]

*LOL* This is actually what it would look like if we dumped Kyle into a D&D world. .....ok maybe there's less screaming and blood in this, but it's generally accurate.

[@insertname5371]

i really love this channel it has both grown and stayed the same in all the right ways. As i look at the old stuff i see how much it has grown, but also how your guys drive and sly humor has remained. All the positives have stayed and with steadily increasing quality. thnx for providing great entertainment

[@gekkenhuisje]

Hurrah! He's found the entrance! Now he will die to the very first monster he encounters due to not knowing where the pain is coming from.

[@quasimofo6811]

John Meyer No no no, if he doesn't notice the pain in the first place, he can never get hurt!

[@LuckyRabbit234]

My current character has super high passive perception but incredibly low regular perception. The only time he notices things is when he isn’t actively trying to notice things.

[@FnKtelevision]

I'm surprised didn't try to convince the DM to let him use investigation

[@thesongofstars]

You know binge-watching Door Monster before bed might be a good idea when Kyle shows up in your dream wearing a bandit mask and holding a hilarious cardboard sign.

[@Volthoom]

It was very hard to understand exactly what was the Dell Laptop doing in this fantasy setting, or how it even survived getting shot in Self-Fulfilling Idiocy 3. Then again as evidenced by SFI3 it does have a tendency to pop up out of nowhere.

[@khornate01thedestroyerofis11]

As a 5 hour per week dungeon master, a can confirm, sometimes things like the glasses of +10 perception come into existence quite often

[@no1mayorofsimpleton]

That conversation would've never happened with a Charisma of 1.

[@insertname5371]

But he is RODRIGUEZ EL CAZORRO and is the most charismatic man ever

[@xnekomcx6353]

I don't even play D&D but I've invested so much time watching it and listening to it, that stuff like this hits as close to home for me as an actual D&D player.

"That I just happened to accidentally drop next to you"

[@1TW1-m5i]

My take away from this video is make your character infuriatingly bad at something, and your DM will get you free boosts.

[@bahrinadrian5072]

@@1TW1-m5i out of exasperation with your ability to do ANYTHING

[@TJCID22]

This happened to me once. The player kept dying so fucking often than I gave him a sword with 3 wishes which he could use after death to rewind time back to the start of the encounter that killed him.

[@sawgobrrr7284]

i love the quote " because i stay up till half 4:00 in the morning kaking the necromancer dungeon just for you to die on the bloody doormat"

[@webknut]

How to recognize a villain? Simple. Dose he talk like a old britt? Then he is a villain. Wait a minute... James Bond talks like a britt! but then he was the the villain all a long. Sneaky bastard, hiding his true side all this time. And we thought all this time he work for the good guys but no he dose not.

[@patricksvarietycorner5700]

[@theinsanebookworm]

Of course he’s the villain. Would a good guy crack so many jokes immediately after killing people?

[@nahtatrolI]

It's always the one's with the heavy accent...

[@pretzelbomb6105]

If they’re a guest star on a Door Monster Video, they’re the villain. Simple as that

[@JustSomeBloke-1]

You know the DM was lowering the DC for each subsequent check.

[@EpicDwarfStench]

The guy playing the evil necromancer was great. You should use him again in your vids.

[@talltroll7092]

He is (theoretically, at least) a War Thunder KZbinr. Look him up

[@damoclesecoe7184]

He's also a recurring character who's name starts with D and ends with ell Laptop ;)

[@________stephens8251]

Thank you for your videos they have been a great help for both me and my brother. We both had re-rodding and remodeling surgery on our legs recently, and these videos were the first things that made us laugh.

[@icarosro]

plot twitst: the door of the dungeon is a "door monster" hehehe

[@jrcbroolz]

"BECAUSE I WAS UP TO HALF FOUR IN THE MORNING DESIGNING THIS DUNGEON." And then your players walk past it entirely, and spend two hours interrogating a random shopkeep for their backstory, their family's backstory, and where their pet cat has been in the last eight weeks, all of which has to be made up on the spot. It's about that time that rocks fall and they all die horribly.

**shovel**

[@DrunkenCoward1]

Me and my group were once venturing through a dark cave, pitch black. Slowly we made our way through with only a small torch keeping our immediate surroundings lit. Then we heard a noise! We stopped moving and I took a hesitant step forward. What could it be? Was it dangerous? I roll for perception! *critical failure* ...and turn to my friends complaining that it's too dark to hear anything.

[@adamgonzalez3090]

This reminds me so much of The Princess Bride 😂

[@phoebegilliland8897]

Adam Gonzalez Me too! Except that Westley and Vizzini switched intelligence levels.

[@thepinkrubberducky]

It’s even funnier the second time when you realize the necromancer was gesturing and pointing at the door the whole time.

[@apertureAI-jw1iz]

Can he see green?

This game must have had a _very_ nice DM.

[@FonVegen]

No, just one who wanted to show off the awesome dungeon he designed.

[@Nashi_likes_games]

I remember someone ACTUALLY min-maxing like this. Hopefully, he was in a group, so it didn't had a huge impact. However, I had him notice things in the most pointless ways for the sake of humor. "Roll me Perception check. Okay, Justin, your Perception is so poor that the only thing you notice and think is relevant is a very large magical cannon. You, however, think it is just a strange tunnel that is the entrance to Lord Grimmeth's Castle, and start thinking it is a good idea to hop in."
