What is the weirdest roll as a DM you had to do for your players? 🅿️2

[@PoipoleADMyt]

My DM made me roll to try and pickpocket my teammate because he wasn’t paying his taxes. I succeeded.

[@AzaloonyToons]

That is amazing.

[@Jaeger_Bishop]

Oh, so taxation is LITERALLY theft in this world, gotcha 😂

[@SilvanianPirateKing]

Vicious mockery on zombies. Per the rules, they had enough of a mind to be affected by the spell. Our bard gave them an existential crisis by calling them all ugly and withered. They died again of shock.

[@ericb3157]

this reminds me of a silly gag in "Dragon Ball Super": at several points in the story. they got into fights with "metal men". these giant monsters are nearly indestructible, but "emotionally" weak, so they would collapse from a good insult. Tenshinhan made several unsuccessful attempts at insults, like "you half-ton tubby!" since the metal man weighed TEN tons, that wasn't insulting. then Chaozu called it "you half-witted hunk of scrap metal!" and THAT did the trick!

[@MahouShoujoNobue]

Player used Speak With Plants to ask a corn field for some information. "Okay, let me just roll Intelligence for this _corn."_

[@PikachuLittle]

I once had a boss who traumatized my players so bad that the mage started casting Locate Person entirely to make sure that said boss wasn’t going to suddenly show up and wreck them. For bonus points said boss eventually became in-laws with one of the other party members

[@albinoreaper2949]

At the beginning of every campaign for the players, and every time I introduce a new NPC that gets close to the players, there is always one roll that I still can’t believe is a tradition we have. Roll for dick size.

[@lmw11661]

Literally what I was about to comment. Lmk how my owlin is packing 8 and my half orc barb is 1

[@albinoreaper2949]

@@lmw11661 If the number is above 12 we divide by 2. If not, it’s even more up to a dice roll.

[@lmw11661]

@albinoreaper2949 see, I just do d8 or d12, medium get d12, small get d8. Those idiots tried to talk me into a d20 but it was late and I didn't think to use a bell curve lol. That's smart

[@lmw11661]

@albinoreaper2949 I'd probably divide by 2 at 11 and give a nat 20 a d4/2 additional but now I'm just nit picking 4 skins lmao

[@Xarestrill]

A long series of Dex checks to see who would catch a greased piglet, with plenty of faceplants into the mud along with rolls to see who could force down the most sausages and keep it down. The PCs were in town and had downtime during the harvest festival and they all decided to take part in various activities. One decided to be a judge in the various cooking contests before taking part in the sausage eating contest, one took part in the knife throwing contests then the drinking contest (thankfully in that order), and the last took part in the catch the greased piglet contest.

[@spartanhawk7637]

We did something similar in our party for a summer solstice festival. Wound up with a peasent nearly getting killed by a nat 1 in the archery contest. Cleric thankfully had heals prepped so it was fine.

[@Paradukes]

Not one I was DMing, but we were exploring a vampire's tomb, filled with vampiric mist. At one point the barbarian used his blowpipe to inhale a vampiric mist, which required a con-save to avoid being drained from the inside out. He passed with flying colours and exhaled the mist into the drunken-master monk's alchemy jug, where it was later brewed into some _really_ powerful booze.

[@majinsole8554]

“Sometimes, the clock strikes gold” is awesome. ~_~

[@SomeRandomKydd]

In the One Shot I did just last week, I had to roll contested on behalf of a door my players weren’t supposed to be going through yet. From the lockpicker rolling Nat 20 and me rolling Nat 1, I allowed them to successfully fully open the door but there was as still nothing for them on that side until they acquired a magic item through the other door.

[@kevinthomas4064]

1. Roll for the Heart of the Cards 2. Roll for Emotional Damage 3. Roll for Burritos

[@ala5530]

WFRP campaign. One of the player characters is an ogre. Ogres tend to eat the things they kill. They fought a vampire (well, they've fought several kinds of vampire by now, but this one the ogre killed). You can become a vampire by consuming their blood, and the ogre tended not to bother cooking (or even butchering/draining) his kills first. You can see where this is going... Yup, the ogre had to make a Toughness test to avoid becoming a vampire (which would effectively kill the character...and possibly turn him into the most dangerous NPC they party had ever faced). Thankfully, ogres get a bonus to Toughness tests related to eating stuff (except, unfortunately, it doesn't apply to magical poisons, curses or other magical effects- like vampirism. Or, apparently, kebabs, but that's another story). Luckily for the player (and the survival of the other characters, but not luckily for me- I'd been trying to kill off the ogre for ages just so I didn't have to keep upping the deadliness of fights), he passed.

[@jettblade]

The absolute weirdest and worst roll I had to allow as a DM was when a player asked to make a cooking roll in order to smoke the heads of bandits they killed as proof that the job was done. The people that hired them only wanted like a crest or something of the like but the player was playing a professional bounty hunter and always brought heads as proof the job was done. This was literally the second session of the first game I ran. I literally had to get up from the table and walk away for a couple minutes to process what I was asked. I allowed it but honestly regret that decision, that really wasn't the game I was going for and was really uncomfortable. I did talk with that player about not doing like that again, he understood and didn't try anything like that again.

[@Gabronthe]

Honestly, i think it was pretty cool and could have been done in sensible and not intrusive ways.

[@k3ose45]

Once I was hosting a game when the party came across a chest mimic, they killed it and for some reason, the rogue decided to check inside the chest, he found a leg, he ate it, he rolled a crit, the leg healed more than the healer ever did

[@kaullyeijikimura7561]

During one campaing I played named Order of Arcadia our party was out of food, so I the medic of the party who was collecting herbs during the last session came up with an idea: "Guys, why don't we use these mysterious halucinogem herbs to make food? We already have meat so we can make a soup." Everyone accepted because it would recover sanity and HP, so the DM came up with another idea: "I will roll the level of high and give 1 determination point to the most creative ones" And it ended up like this: Everyone drank the soup... moments later the assasin tried to lift the artficer dwarf thinking he was his son but failed. ( bro rolled a nat 1 and the dwarf fell and almost broke the old wooden floor ) After that the dwarf commanded his golem to attack a old bed infested with rats because he was seeing a monster there. (dealing 1 damage for everyone) My character the medic elf got a kaleidoscope vision seeing everything floating arond and talking nonsense words, the elven wizard was laughing like a maniac and the human warrior was seeing everything like it was burning. It was chaotic

[@AzaloonyToons]

They are never drinking that soup again.

[@Kualinar]

Calling that chaotic is an understatement.

[@alfredthehero9034]

During our Dark Souls ttrpg campaign, we were trying to haggle down the price of a spell for our pyromancer. And because our characters were two dumbasses and a bear, I stupidly asked if any of us even knew math. Our DM then made us roll for "math".... we did not know how to do math. So we only THOUGHT we were getting a good discount (it was like 10%).

[@T3nch1]

Regular con saves for poisoned, nauseous, vomiting, intestinal viruses and parasites. I was playing a Dragonborn Battlemaster who's tool choice was Chef's kit, the entire driving force behind his adventure was food. Exotic food, mundane food, anything I killed I tried to eat. Most things I scavenged I also tried to eat.

[@jules934]

I once rolled to give a wedge with predistation very sutley!

[@Gabronthe]

6:00 i imagine him killing a demon lord with a staff and Shieleigh

[@darkphoenix539]

We were playing in realm where local time god got mad and started creating rifts to random timelines, so we basically had caveman and jedi walking in the same city. Last game we were exploring very modern laboratory (everything tiled, catalogued and fill with modern equipment) our room temperature IQ Barb saw plastic bottle and drunk it … It was weist bottle after experiment … DM make player roll for damage delt by random mix of chemicals and He fortunately vomited before any serious damage was made, unfortunately that alerted security … the rest was TPK

[@derrickhaggard]

In session 1 of our Ravenloft campaign the DM kept having the Elf Phantom Rouge in the party make persuasion rolls to successfully trick some vampires into believing she was one of them, for context session 1 consisted of multiple prologue sections detailing the events that led to the party meeting each other at Castle Barovia since we were recruited by the King and his knights to help kill the recently returned Strahd. Well during her prologue section she was helping a dwarf and a kid she met escape from vampires to reach the safety of a cathedral dedicated to Mystara the Goddess of Magic and well the vampires failed their insight roll so they smelled her and since being a Phantom Rouge she naturally smelled like a undead and well they were fooled into thinking she was one of them but she now had to roll persuasion rolls to continue fooling them and it led to some of the most hilarious RPing ever as she was trying to save their lives by saying they can drink some blood but they get 75% and she gets 25%, along with getting her cheese, and if they didn't do what she asked they would face the wrath of the "great and powerful Grand-Papa", and when one of the vampires jump the gun and killed the kid by draining him of his blood. It led to another persuasion roll to try and argue that the dwarf was her 25% in order to save him, and it worked leading to one a hilarious bit of RP where she stated that the dwarf was her 25% of blood and the vampires arguing that the kid was her 25% and her counter argument that led to her escaping to the safety of the Cathedral with the dwarf which was "Well no we didn't actually get to determine who counted as your 75% and who counted as my 25% because one of you guys jumped the gun and chose for you guys so the dwarf is my 25%" and this was what allowed her and the dwarf to make it to the Cathedral while the vampires starting arguing with each other over the fact the one who smelled her should've checked to see if she had fangs, and then arguing with the one who fed on the kid stating that if he didn't jump the gun and fed on the kid they could've made the argument that the kid was her 25% and that the dwarf was their 75%. All in all a hilarious set of rolls leading to one of the most hilarious bits of RPing.

[@postapocalypticnewsradio]

PANR has tuned in.

[@joshuapohle6909]

We had to roll a Constitution saving throw to do paperwork to get into a city, I got a nat 20, no one noticed the other side except for me.

[@upark77]

thx for the video

[@ashsdiamonds]

First DM made me roll to see if desecrating a corpse of my ancestors would have consequences (it didn't) (also was only robbing from it) Second was rolling to see if we could successfully sneak a giant sentient eel onto the ship without the first mate or quatermaster (captain is incapacitated) noticing and stopping us. We succeeded

[@GabbyJFS_02]

Tomb of Annihilation campaign, one of our Druids wanted to ride in the Dino races. She used Speak With Animals to tell her Dino that she’d feed him 5 servings of dinner if they won, and then told the T Rex that if they didn’t win the race, their rider was going to kill and eat them. She rolled persuasion and succeeded, and the T Rex tried to eat the rider during the whole race. Our Druid won.

[@PhoenixofEclipse]

My players had their characters start a relationship. Eventually, I had to determine if one of them got pregnant. That’s not just a single d20 roll, by the way. I had to roll for timing, roll for conception, roll to see if they had twins, and EACH ROLL involved real life research to figure out the correct odds. By the way, yes they were. With twins. Runs in that characters family.

[@mr.cobalt1668]

Why didn't the thaw guy just use Firebolt to start a fire for warmth to melt the ice?

[@iVan_Bomzh_Kvass]

Boring. Too safe.

[@swahilimaster]

The group I ran for came across a group of fey creatures frolicking in a meadow and their first instinct was to prove to them that they could frolic better. They then challenged the fey to a "frolic off" with some stakes I can't remember, and had to do contested rolls against them to see who could frolic harder. With a nat 20 the party won their wager and moved on with the adventure.

[@wolvo5441]

Roll for twerking was one a player did at my table

I had players ask if they could roll an arcana check to increase the range of thunderclap. I instead made a houserule that thunderclap has a 30 ft range if you actually throw ass as your somatic

So i was playing a Dragonborn sorcerer with a background of mariner We were in a hombrew campain in a mountain to retrive some rare materials There was a dwar civilization some time ago there and we found a tavern. There was accualy some of the ale still there and me and our artificer drank some I failed my con save and became drunk ,i flavoured it as my character getting flashbacks(mainly to share my backstory) what was my other 2 party members reaction? Of course not trying yo listen to what im muttering or doing anything else logical. Instead they started to throw rocks, at a drunk ex mariner, who was muttering under his breath . Welp once one hit i told the dm that the flashbacks turned more violent and my character started to attack em(at a disadvantage because drunk and only melle as he was back in the time before he became a sorcerer) Managed to hit our mage doing about half hp of damage and then our artificer coulore sprayed me and ran away with the mage.

[@M_Alexander]

Early on my players had the bright idea for the rogue to stand on the ranger's shoulders to get high ground advantage shooting at a wolf pack. I let them roll appropriate athletic and acrobatic rolls on the condition they don't make a habit of this. They succeeded the skill checks and landed the shot by the way

The player argued with me until I let him roll to try and piss through a wall… I let him because we spent 15 minutes on it… he rolled a nat 20

[@enderfire3379]

my dm made me roll a constitution check to see how spicy the food i ate was

[@christopherwood1994]

I had a player roll a con save for eating a cake. Why cake? The two gnome characters (Barb/ Wizard) convinced our human cleric that gnomish cooking replaced sugar gram for gram with salt. She proceeded to bake the wizard a birthday cake. He ate it to not hurt her feelings/ keep up the gag…. That’s a lot of salt. Failed con save and a 3 on a d4 and the wizard gained 3 levels of exhaustion.

[@tuojiangoman3228]

Hard to top the rogue drinking the BBEG.

[@BuffaloBaymax2187]

"Roll for shart." In a one shot, we rescued some villagers from some gnolls and they were afraid of us. I wanted to use the pull-my-finger "magic" trick to amuse the children. The DM made me roll to see if I sharted (I did not). The kids were amused and most of the party passed their con save to avoid being poisoned by my fart
