I'm sorry, what were you saying. I was just over here seducing the bar wench since that's the only thing I'm really good at doing in this game I found myself playing after I was promised we were going to an actual bar!

[@grr-OUCH]

I used to game with a group that at least let a couple of the players take turns at being the "seduce everything" character. I don't see how it is fun, and have wondered if perhaps they are trying to compensate or something. Fortunately, the players that never pay attention usually quit after a while. My sister in law used was one of those, and an (in)famous example was that she would read a novel while we gamed. At some point in the session we get on a boat. A couple of hours later, someone asked her what she wanted to do. She said "I get on the boat". That is what we now say if someone was not paying attention. "Do you get on the boat?"

[@andreas_iced8297]

@@claudioclaudio7953 I'm not an expert, but this is what I gather: If you buy something as a supply for your job, you get to write down the cost you paid, and when everyone gets their tax returns, you get that money back. Example: say I were a vlogger. Because of my work, I buy a fancy camera. Since I bought it for work, I write down the money I paid as a work expense. Later, when I do my taxes, and everyone gets money back (called tax returns), that money gets reimbursed. This has created a kind of running joke, you'll see it if you watch American youtubers long enough (macdoesit comes to mind). Whoever you're watching will take the object they bought, hold it up on camera, and say something to the effect of "gotta make sure it's in frame long enough, get that tax writeoff--aight, we're good". Because if it's in the video, its related to their work (even if that relation is... questionable). Its either: they get reimbursed, or they dont have to pay taxes on it. Again, not sure.

Honestly for the rules lawyer the thing about ranged attacks and dual wielding is just helpful, meanwhile the nat 20 thing is annoying and the looking up monsters is just straight up cheating.

[@0Fyrebrand0]

I agree with you on all that except for the nat 20 part. A natural 20 on an ability check does not mean whatever you're trying to do is guaranteed to succeed. The king does not abdicate his throne to you simply because you got a lucky roll. You can't have every party member attempt to persuade the BBEG to lay down his weapons and surrender each round of combat, in the hopes that sooner or later you'll get a natural 20 and they'll have to obey. The DM still gets to decide the outcome of the roll, and I don't think it's "annoying" for a player to acknowledge that. If anything, it's WAY more annoying if a player is trying to bully the DM into giving them what they want because "I rolled a nat 20, you HAVE TO do what I say!"

[@Nesto_]

@@0Fyrebrand0 I know, and I never said a nat 20 was an auto-success. I agree wholeheartedly and have heard that exact example a million times over but if the DC is clearly not above 20 or the DM says that it’s a pass then why are you bringing it up? I’m similarly annoyed when a DM says “A 20 isn’t an auto-success on skills/saves, what’s your modifier?” When there’s no shot the DC is so high that a 20 failed unless your mod is in the deep negative. It kills the excitement of a moment that would otherwise feel sick because apparently a barbarian rolling a nat 20 to grapple an enemy wizard isn’t guaranteed to succeed.

[@BalimaarTheBassFish]

@@0Fyrebrand0 I play with the nat 20 = success rule as a DM but my players are also aware that a lot of the time NPCs just arent going to comply with a demand or agree to a course of action. I only call for the dice roll if there is a chance that the NPC just might do the thing if the party approached them right. Oddly enough, there are very few (comparatively) dice rolls in my games. The RP just flows with minimal need for Persuasion rolls and the like.

[@faithjolley6034]

@@0Fyrebrand0 If a nat 20 doesn't succeed, the dice shouldn't have been rolled in the first place. Also. Success is a totally subjective term. You can have your players technically succeed on something, but have something from that come back to bite them in the ass. Like, they get a nat 20 haggling a merchant, you can just have the merchant give them a fake version of what they wanted. There are creative ways to work with a nat 20 that technically doesn't meet the DC you set.

[@Skyte100]

@@0Fyrebrand0 The true rule of the nat 20 is it is a hit if its an attack roll and for any other rolls it has to awesome (because it does). Could still be a fail but its gotta be a cool fail. If you a roll a nat 20 and get a "no you fail" and nothing more, then thats just bad DM. Gotta give the players a little reward for the nat 20 even if its just a better outcome from the normal fail they were gonna have. Read one thing where someone got a nat 20 on an attack when they were trying to subdue a guy, DM decided it killed the guy instead. Thats just DM being a dick.
