Dungeons & Dragons: Karen Edition

[@Jaster_Mereel]

I love how they turn Karen on the Minotaur. "Who's in charge?!" "He is!"

[@Awelbeckk]

Poor mino :(

[@terrorcop101]

My thoughts exactly

[@andrewlance3898]

That minotaur didn't deserve it

[@sharkdentures3247]

@@andrewlance3898 Totally agree. He was just burning a peaceful village & slaughtering innocent commoners. Did he deserve a sword in the belly? Sure. A fireball in the face? Probably. But having to deal with an irate Karen? Now THAT is an excessive, 'cruel & unusual punishment'!

[@matthewhunt2143]

Definitely a highlight.

[@SithCats]

You got me. I thought this was going to be the players trying to out-Karen each other (which still would have been awesome, let's be clear). My favorite part is "She stares daggers at you... literally. Daggers fly from her eyes."

[@rainbowprism6242]

It was already done in Snowflake edition. I thought it would be modern setting, but I guess that would be too soon.

Didn't notice this before, but Sarah's rolling a Backgammon Doubling die used to keep track of the stakes... and in 1:30, she got a 64 (highest number on the die.)

[@egondoerr]

They've been using one for a while now. I think they used a bigger one this episode so people would notice.

[@Mathadar]

@@egondoerr Yup, I think at least the last 3 episodes she has been using it. She rolled a 32 a couple episodes together and of course, got a 17 XD. I can't wait till they do the gag she talked about in the gag reel, I think it was for English edition, where she doesn't even have dice in front of her and just rolls air dice and gets a 17 XD

[@Not_Ciel]

*rolls a 64* "17!"

[@scolipede9995]

In the first walmart, in the first diatribe, when the coupons first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of 5G, her bangs blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, she chose the path of perpetual torment. In her ravenous hatred she found no peace; and with boiling blood she scoured the Departmental Plains seeking vengeance against the managers who had wronged her. She wore the helmet of the bob cut, and those that tasted the bite of her passive-aggressiveness named her... the Doom Karen.

IDK I'll roll... She rolls a 2. It succeeds!

[@aformofmatter8913]

She fails the save & gets fired, but now your manager is angry at you for not standing there and letting her eviscerate you because "the customer is always right". Make a dc 10 charisma save. On a failure, you get fired, & on a success you just get written up instead.

[@marquisealexander1371]

The one thing that is kinda my pet peeve is when players don’t announce their intentions for their rolls before they roll. The sequence must always be; “Hey DM, I wish to roll for (insert skill check here) and this is what I’m doing in-game to represent that.” After which they are allowed to roll their dice for the check. They are not allow to roll their die first then announce their intentions. For example, “(Player rolls dice) oh look, a 19 for perception!” Not allowed, re-roll after you’ve announced your intentions for the roll clearly and directly to the DM.

[@RoraighPrice]

only exception is when the dms busy and your doing it so as to not slow down the game

[@marquisealexander1371]

Roary Still not allowed, especially when the DM is busy. The reason for this is to prevent cheating. Players can roll randomly and chose to not voice their results; only to roll again later to get a better result. Then they voice their intentions stating the good roll. That’s why you voice your intention first, clearly and directly to the DM. That way players can’t just roll randomly and see a good roll and go, “Nat 20 on (insert skill check here)!” I will ask them to re-roll cause that doesn’t count. Also, it’s worse if you roll without telling the DM; especially when he is busy cause what is stopping a player from fudging his roll when the DM is inattentive to their actions? That’s the reason why I don’t allow it at my table.

For the masses, she uses an ability called "Power Word: Manager!" On first use against a target, it mimics the Bane spell. On success, subsequent uses cause 2d6 charisma damage, save for half. Karens can use this ability at will.
