Jucasan Naruto still kinda burned the orphanage but in a different sense. He showed everyone they were wrong and that he could be better than them. Everyone said you’ll never be a strong ninja and hokage is the strongest ninja of all and he said “well I’m gonna be hokage then, fuck you”. Honestly if Naruto didn’t make so many friends along the way he probably would have done something aggressive towards the village but when he started getting stronger, accomplishing his goals, and meeting people willing to fight with and for him he decided that they were more worth saving than the village was worth spiting, so he then unironically wanted to become hokage because his motivations of proving himself and protecting his valuable friends coincided. Also he lived through the whole oruchimaru attack and saw how terrible revenge quests can end for both sides.

@Sher Thiss it's a role playing game, in which the story and gameplay is all determined by a Dungeon Master - look up "Dungeons and Dragons basics" - so as long as you have a few friends and a lot of dice, you can play it wherever. for example, I'm part of two campaigns rn - one I meet up at a friend's house to do, the other I play over discord. if you don't have enough friends that you know in person willing to eet up and play, you can probably find groups online looking for members

For those of you that say the ending was way too drastic, let's put this into perspective: Given the description of the group, every single player, and especially the DM, were capable of and entirely willing to do things just like this. The fact that the DM was treating OP like this, if this isn't a warping of the truth, and the other players did nothing to protest, but rather joined in on this unfair treatment, meant that OP was pretty much the lesser evil. If this story is entirely true, then both the DM and the other players got what they deserved.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

This. Even if the players and DM had reason to dislike and want to mess with OP, you don't get an excuse to be a passive aggressive twat. All of the stuff they did was passive aggressive. They couldn't work up the communication skills and courage to tell him why they didn't like him, were upset or anything to help him change his behavior, or at least solidify the decision to kick him out if they all agreed they didn't like him (Always tell someone why, it at least gives them a chance to understand, even if they don't agree) but no, they just attack him as much as they could in the game because they couldn't do anything in RL out of cowardice.

[@sephikong8323]

Basically what one of my characters did (although I would consider him neutral not evil for reasons that could appear obvious later on) Basically we were at the end of a campaign, there was a massive mercenary army that was rolling through the country and deposing the rulers, I singlehandedly created that without knowing through a snowball effect. My rogue once stole an attack order from the Lord he resided in for the night. He later on sold it to another one as this would give him a strategic advantage to know that the first one was out attacking the giant camp at this exact moment so that he could launch his attack. This snowballed into a big war that spread across the country, the king was killed, central authority died, a mercenary leader went rogue after not being paid and he attracted lots and lots of disgruntled soldiers and most holds fell to his army, only one was left, the one in charge of the "impregnable city", and my character had managed to become his right hand man One of the players was known as "the kingslayer" as he killed several high ranking noble and royalties throughout the campaign, took one significant belonging from them and then placed it on the next one. Nobody knew the identity of the kingslayer but he was feared and reproved everywhere. There was a big final battle at the end against his army, the garrison, and the armies that our group gathered by splitting up. During the battle, our barbarian lead a bunch of giant tribal barbarian that he had gathered in the hills, the fighter and cleric lead the garrison while the ranger (the kingslayer) and me lead the troops that we had gathered from the continent in exchange for help in putting down the elven civil war (where the other one killed the rebellious king). He was leading the elven archers while I lead the charge of the Giant empire (basically the fire Giants if you will even though it was our own universe so it's not really that). We end up winning, though the barbarian is killed gruesomely by the enemy commander and the cleric was crushed by sheer number. A few days later I plan my move as I had been wanting to rid the world of the kingslayer for a long time by now, I couldn't really stand his lust for blood. So I arranged a meeting between him and the Lord. But before this meeting, I cut open the throat of my lord whilst I was alone with him, making sure to not let a single drop of blood touch me. Then I let him in. While in was in there with the dead king, thinking of taking advantage of the situation for his own reputation, I stormed in with the guard, as I knew he would have had condemning proof on him that he was the kingslayer, and I got him arrested (he tried to put up a fight but it went nowhere). I had him executed later that same day. As the Lord had no heir and I was beloved for leading the victorious charge and being the number 2 of the government, I took his place. And as the possessor of the last standing army in the kingdom, I quickly reasserted myself as the one and only king of the island. Be sure that I had started planning on framing that guy several sessions prior and I made the DM aware of my plan a little while ago and he loved the idea as he loves this kind of organic storytelling to be made and I subtly guided several of his moves toward this goal

I put it on and the DM suddenly says to the Palidin and Monk that I'm evil; now suddenly the party was fighting a level twelve Chaotic Evil wizard with a god complex that had just turned into a mountain sized blue dragon.

My character went on to stomp around the country side and eventually just took over. We had an entire campaign based off of that and everything. It was fantastic, but I still told the DM they could sit on that telling people my alignment without them doing sense motive or detect alignment and spin. Because I was pretty mad, and my party was pretty mad at me for killing them for trying to kill me. The entire thing was stupid.

There's some one in my Pathfinder group that seems to have a personal vendetta against me because my character is chaotic evil. He is supposedly chaotic good, yet he always threatened to kill me with this black hole kind of orb, and he tried to kill me when I was gone for a wedding. He's trying to get a airship, and if he get me irritated enough, there's nothing that a properly placed disintigrate spell or two to the energy source that keeps the ship airborne wouldn't fix. That would teach him not to piss off the wizard. Though I am so glad that he's not in the DnD campaign I'm in. I have a homebrew character that is a daywalker (Think of Blade, and blood arcana (Which it is called in DnD Beyond), is a arcane tradition for the wizard.) blood mage, who is neutral evil, and he would basically be, 'She's a vampire, kill her!'

If someone is a toxic player and is constantly sneaking in to steal all your health potions instead of going out to buy their own I'm pretty sure you'd have it out for them too, but since your "character" isn't aware of it then you'd be pretty limited in your responses.

Oh you havent seen chaos until you've played with my character, and my friends character.

I was doing this alongside Karen Concombre (french for cucumber) whomst is literally insane. Among many others, some of her quirks include being obsessed with pickles, using a sharpened pickle as a weapon and having a pickle as her instrument for bard. She's conspiring with my rogue, pfeifer, to install the fascist mayorship, she mostly wants to have a secret prison where she can test her poisonous spores on enemies of the state. Pfeifer became addicted to the deck of many things, drawing too much and after getting 50000 gp, losing all her gold, getting cursed, summoning an avatar of death which she promptly 1-shot as they have half the summoners hp and Pfeifer had like 11 hp, and eventually getting her soul trapped in the abyss. A few of our party members switched, with one leaving and a new one joining, along with me making a replacement for pfeifer. The game has somewhat calmed down without pfeifer but Karen is chaos incarnate so it still is crazy (tho my new character never has any spell slots because she wastes them all casting sleep on Karen), and our new character is a thief who is broke and basically does anything for gold (I keep making coins with prestidigitation, then tossing them at the thief

Neutral characters are concerned by their close allies and themselves before outsiders. I’ll save these people if it’s feasible without sacrificing my allies and/or myself in the process, or if the reward is substantial enough to warrant the risk.

So one day we decide to run an evil party, everybody starting out low level and pretty equal. I was the party's cleric, having never run one and I saw an opportunity to teach these assholes a lesson. We play a few sessions and characters get down to negative hit points and go unconscious without dying. I tell the player, I will heal you, but I get to select an item of my choice from your possessions. This continues until I am far and away the most powerful player in the party and nobody individually can touch me. Needless to say, the party eventual decides to gang up on me (organize) and take me out. Cool. Ended that campaign, but I left them with the parting shot: "This is why 'might makes right' is an evil policy and the abused have the right to work together to strike back.

I've started to GM now but a year ago I was in a similar situation (3.5e DnD). The gm was trying to make the game against me and easier for other players because I was a "Veteran" player. He had me randomly roll for class, alignment, and race, so I ended out as a Lawful-Evil Halfing bard. That was the birth of my most notorious character, Karma Jingles. That's not even the end through out is campaign he literally had gave the other players powerful magic items from NPCs and I got a glowing dagger. The cleric and paladin refused to heal me, the rogue literally tried to use me as a "test subject" to see if he disarmed the traps, and the wizard threatened to straight out kill me if I didn't help him with his shinnanigans. So I eventually went on a route of Bard/Assassin (a little bit of rogue but not too much) and put that evil alignment to use. See the DM didn't notify the whole group of what are characters leveled like. Then we went through a dungeon in a volcano. See they're two things people don't expect from Jingles initially that I learned. They don't expect him to be smart or dangerous. So in the dungeon I systematically killed the paladin and cleric through "accidents of stupidity" (basically making seemingly stupid and selfish decisions in battle like go loot a room instead of covering the clerics ass). Found a chest that was trapped but didn't tell the rogue (he failed on his perception) in which lava poured on him. And assassinated the wizard in which I told them that they got played. The GM said why I killed the wizard, I simply said "I planned a series of unfortunate events". I told them what I planned and when the wizard asked if my character even had the INT score for that I showed him that I had the INT score of 21. My Halfing was smarter than his wizard. The GM stated that now I don't have any allies to help me survive the dungeon so to prove him that I didn't need the rest of the party for my delicately crafted character I completed the dungeon by myself. Even killed an adult white dragon alone (Still do not understand why he put a white dragon in a volcano). And at the end I said that my character didn't survive because of them but in spite of them.

I was playing a min/maxed Aarakocra Lv 5 sorcerer/lv 2 warlock eldritch blast machine gun (20 CHA + Eldritch Spear + agonizing blast + Quickened spell + Hex). Roleplay-wise, he was a smuggler/sneaky type character (he had no other offensive spells). The scenario was we were in this underground complex owned by druids, there’s a closed room with a shrine for praying, and behind a curtain there’s a passage leading into a maze/dungeon which the druids specifically told us we were forbidden from going into. Our fighter convinced the guard to let us use the room alone and then we started exploring the dungeon. My character fell into several traps, and when I wanted him to fly over them, the DM said I couldn’t because the walls weren’t wide enough. Not that big a deal, except that when I asked the DM why I didn’t get a DEX save to try to avoid them, he just said my character hadn’t seen the traps beforehand. Curiously, neither of the other two players stepped on a trap once. At that point, the players and their characters were all laughing at me so I just decided that my character was going to attack them (the DM gave my character a few buffs and turned him into a boss fight). If I’d thought it through, I would’ve gotten out of the dungeon, cast disguise self to make my character look like one of the others, walked out of the shrine room, stabbed one of the druids, then run back into the room and cast invisibility.

[@ironrose6]

I should probably just be grateful that my "bad group" wasn't nearly this awful, but it reminds me a little of the time I joined a friend's campaign partway through- they'd keep losing new players a few sessions after they'd join and needed some new blood for a fight against one of the medium BBEGs coming up. They were each level 7 and I joined up as a level 6 bard- apparently, they'd had a session the same day the dm asked me, leveled up, and didn't tell me they'd all leveled and it was "too late" for my character to do the same. While this definitely annoyed me when I came to the session the dm asked me to come to and found out, I decided to move forward and make the best of things. After being robbed and left for dead in the middle of the woods, the party came upon my character and that's where I joined the story. Immediately, their barbarian decided his character would consider me to be bait for the BBEG's trap and (with my one hp left from the bandits) attacked me on sight. Thank god for cutting words, my shield, and half-plate armor. Turning invisible and running off to heal in peace and decide what to do only served to convince the entire party and not just the barbarian that I was working for the BBEG. As part of my character's hook for joining the party, I'd been en route with a special gift as a surprise for my character's wife, who'd only barely given birth to our first child a week before. The bandits made off with this gift and I was to hire the party to help get it back, ultimately joining forces against the BBEG along the way. So I go back after recuperating a bit, and with the promise of gold and a rare item they decide to trust me provisionally and allow me to tag along as I search for the bandits and my gift. I should note at this point how the players were getting angry in real life that I was making the session drag on for so long; complaining that I should "just be a team player". So we find this underground fortress and it turns out the BBEG had since taken the bandits and turned them into undead slaves for his army, something the DM said could have been prevented and gained us more allies in the fight if the party had gotten here sooner. I kidd you not, someone kicked me in the shins under the table when he said that. But hey, at least it meant my reason for joining was probably in here with the BBEG and some undead thieves. We explore a bit and the party starts insisting on bardic inspiration with each check for a trap, only to get annoyed when we get to an actual obstacle and I have no more inspiration dice to give. We go through a few encounters, kill a miniboss the party had been dominated by once before, and I end up having to cast revivify (thanks, College of Lore's magical secrets) TWICE, once on one of the two clerics and once on the barbarian. Yeah. I decided to keep quiet about how those two diamonds were my only diamonds and what I'd intended to pay the party with, but thank goodness the dm announced that for me [/sarcasm]. It became apparent the party had written my character off as dead weight now that I had nothing to pay them with and was useless without inspiration or revivify. Still, I wanted to at least finish out the session like I said I would, and amidst angry glares from the others, I began searching for my gift. Ultimately, we find the BBEG, he sicks his army of zombies and wights on us, I heal the entire party more than both the clerics combined, work with the barbarian and others to hold the army at bay at a choke point while a cleric casts magic circle, and then cast tinyhut inside the magic circle so we can get a long rest. The final straw was when my character overheard the cleric (the one I resurrected) telling the sorcerer during their watch that they'd found my gift and decided to keep it, with which the sorcerer agreed strongly, and gave it to the sorcerer to put in the bag of holding. The other players around the table burst out laughing and said I wouldn't be in the group long anyway, so it didn't matter. Long story short, we find the BBEG and I receive 0 help or support during the fight, all the while healing others and doing support/negate magic for the party and against the BBEG and his minions. The final straw was when we got the BBEG down to just a couple hits from death and the sorcerer, because he thinks it would make him look cool to snake the final blow from the barbarian, drinks my gift (some one of a kind homebrew potions with effects to combat the challenges of new parenthood, like getting the benefits of a short rest, missing a long rest without getting exhaustion, doubling one of your stat's modifier for one minute, getting the benefits of haste, gaining 4d4 temp max hit points... really good stuff) in an attempt to use his regained sorcery points next round to do this. So, I did what any reasonable asshole would do: used my Instrument of the Bards as a spellcasting focus for Hypnotic Pattern (Instrument of the Bards gives its targets disadvantage on saves against charmed), hypnotized the whole party, and said to the BBEG (who was undead and therefore safe from charm) that the party was a gift in exchange for letting me leave with my life and a reward for saving him. He agreed, and between my cutting words and lucky feat, they remained hypnotized for the full ten minute duration of the spell while the BBEG set up magic bindings, recovered health, and marshaled the rest of his army to surround them as I walked out the door with 50k gold and their bag of holding.

I had a high school DM who was a "Me vs. the party" type; he was gleeful when he got the party to turn against itself. My character wound up winning that inter-party battle, then killed his allies and committed suicide; as I was packing up my stuff just afterwards, in preparation for leaving the group, I said to the DM, "And that's why you don't mess with your players for your own ego." Even as a freshman, I knew that kind of gaming was toxic and not a fun way to spend my time. Funny thing is, they begged me to come back, and then left the DM in question when I made it clear that I wouldn't be gaming against a no-save, no-chance, no-hope DM who was on a power trip. We wound up having a great gaming group through high school.

[@Daragausthedragon]

I feel that the entire group dynamic was quite toxic, not the whole having their own agendas but the whole thing with burning character sheets, passing notes, and calling out players

[@catkook543]

Mm, it could be fun Though, probably not the calling out of characters. Burning of character sheets n stuff, or just scraping your character at least So long as you know that's what you're getting into, it could make a bigger impact on the rest of the players as your character died If it's a friendly group And the notes, could add a bit of mystery & surprise in the game Making things more interesting if done with a friendly group Imagine those moments in a TV show or movie where it seems all hope is lost, but then last second one of the main characters show up with an army or something else that'll save the day Passing notes could potentially set up situations for that, which are even more epic as you know it wasn't set up by the dungeon Master but the cleverness of a player

The closest I ever got to this was when I(a cleric of Tiamat) and a tiefling rogue were not really team players but were. Though the paladin didn't know we were evil until later... We would help in battles but if either of us found hidden treasures we only split them between the pair. We had been expecting a split in the party you see. So when we reached the capital the dm used our organization as the main villains, so we had to choose between a paladin that would string us up for just being alive or our employers. We did just that and the whole road instantly became a mountain. Instead of a large organized unit there was one rather incompetent guy. In the end we managed to ambush and kill the king's advisor in an alley(we were level 5s, he was a level 22 sorceror), gain the loyalty of an illegal sorceress, and managed to kill the king despite having the party and the royal guard working against us. We had aimed for using poison and had paid off the chef but the paladin just so had happened to walk past the kitchens and was curious about what the main chef was putting in the soup he was making for some reason.

[@XxSoraMifunexX]

Why is Dad-Sonic telling me D&D stories?

[@benevolentworldexploder5395]

That's not how detect evil works at all. Detect evil isn't an alignment checker, it reveals an aura of evil on creatures or classes which possess said aura, and does require a conscious effort to do so. Typically these creatures would be undead, demons, or even player characters who receive their powers from evil entities. An assassin does not fit that bill. Sure, you have to be evil alignment to be an assassin, but you don't possess an aura of evil. Personally, I don't play "sneaky", evil characters. Too clichéd. I make it a point that if I'm evil, you'll know. Our party never behaves this way though. A matter of alignment isn't a matter of friend or foe, it's just a matter of perspective. The paladin believes that governing powers exist to protect and help us, but my state was capitulated and subsequently absorbed into a vast nation, governed by our conquerors. My people are complacent to their new masters, forced to serve in their auxiliary and happily paying tithe to their rulers. My people so easily abandoned our lineage, removing any semblance of home. I despise them for their weakness. I killed my commanding officer, a slave no longer fit of being my countryman, and fled to the south, surviving by using my soldiering knowledge for robberies and ransacking solitary farmsteads. Nothing to my name, no home to return to. I am the last voice and will of a dead nation, and all shall recognise my power and greatness.

You don't HAVE to be evil to be an assassin. It's all about morals. Most (sane) people would not commit an act that they view as 'evil', or would otherwise see said act in a different light. The American Sniper was an assassin. Was he evil? No. He was a soldier, doing his job. Hassan-E-Sabba, who founded the Hashashin, the name of which literally coined the term 'assassin', was not evil. The ninja of feudal Japan were not evil men and women. They were farmers, tired of living under a corrupt government that was literally killing them because they were poor!

Depends the edition but yes, most people don't seem to know how Detect Evil (or detect spells in general) tend to work. Within Pathfinder a level 15 evil character, with assassin requiring evil, would have a 'moderate' aura. Still would require at least one full round of dedicated concentration to figure even that out. A quick glance at a target wouldn't be enough, and any evil character wouldn't stand there and let this happen. It also is terrible to use in a crowded place, so many auras....
