I still remember my most unhinged character. A paladin (with negative int) with a celestial mount that could cast spells but it was cursed. Said curses effect was it farted out all spells.

@@truekurayamibeing a good DM requires a strong constitution and willingness to wear protective tape so you don't rub a hole in your forehead by all the stupid shit your players pull. One of my favorite bard stories involves failing an attempted seducing of a minotaur using my hit melody "My Agitated Dairy Has Brought the Townsfolk to My Land." Did I end up skinning it and wearing its hide and skull as armor and using the horns as an extra weapon? Maybe. Were my actions described as "sociopathic", "why are you like this?", and "that's probably a war crime of some sort. At least second degree murder."? Who knows? Point is, minotaur skin is great, you should get some. The intimidation compensates for the smell.

I gave a character a Cloak of Artillery, pretty much Cloak of Many Things but instead of things, it's weapons. Anything you can think of (within a medieval setting and reason, i trust my players), and you can spend a free object interaction to summon it either into your hand or, if it's a ballista or somrthing large like that, a space within 5 feet of you. Now, this was a party of characters and players that I'd been with for almost 2 years, so I trust them not to abuse it. However, the guy who got the cloak, a bugbear paladin/fighter, he's smarter than the average bear. They're riding on top of a mountain sized undead dragon (Ancalagon, but re-animated, in Middle Earth. Don't ask how a bugbear got there). They're freaking out. They were just walking along a hill WHEN THE HILL SUDDENLY STARTS MOVING AND THE HORIZON DISSAPEARS. So naturally, they try to fight the thing. On its back. It does not like the tickling, so it tries to shake them off. Most of the party actually makes their saves, but the Bugbear doesn't. So as he's about to fall 300+ feet, he looks at me dead in the eyes, and says the following: "I summon a catapult five feet below me. I would like to make a dexterity save to get in the spoon." Me, not entirely processing what he's doing: "Okay, cushioning the fall, i like the thought process. Let's give it a DC 15, but with disadvantage because this thing is probably falling a lot faster than you are." Him: "That'll be a 22. Now can I action surge, and make an attack action to cut the rope?" Me, visibly shocked at his ingenuity: "Dude, I'm not even going to make you roll. You are more or less stationary. BUT, roll me percentile to see how accurate you are. Let's say, 75 or above, your mid-air aim is true, and you launch yourself back up onto the back. 51 to 74, you launch up, but you're going to need to roll me an acrobatics or athletics check to land safely. Anything below a 50, and you're plummeting." Him: * rolls percentile, reads the results, then sits back with a shit eating grin * I look over, and sitting on the table, for everyone to see, is a fucking 100. He pirouetted onto the back of Ancalagon out of a catapult midair. I love my party. Sorry for the long story.

I then stabilized him, took back the dagger and left him behind for the rest of the party to pick up later.

I mean that’s a hell of a way to do it but a sorcerer should always have an escape for this situation, even in the second level spells you have Levitate, Vortex Warp, depending on your DM warding wind and web At third level you have fly, gaseous form, thunder step, again dependent on your dm you could argue for slow, and by all technicality blinking into the ethereal plane would protect you from Fall damage as it specifies that only creatures in the etherial plane can hurt you, although I’d imagine most DMs are going to turn that down even rule heavy ones For fourth level spells which is the highest I’m going for this theoretical you have banishment which as long as you’re not from any other plane would pause your momentum and reduce your fall damage, dimension door, polymorph, stoneskin, and again depending on your DM watery sphere as it restrains you in place. I will preemptively explain why stoneskin is a great option, seeing as fall damage in 5e is calculated at 1d6 per 10 feet and you hit terminal velocity at 200, the maximum fall damage you can take is 120 and that is with all 20 d6s rolling max, in reality you’ll likely take closer to 40-80, stoneskin resistance to bludgeoning halves that damage sorcerer survives a 200 foot fall no problem

Other sorcerer disables the train, boss ejects all of us from the train and makes it grow giant pink light legs (queue the Mettaton song). First turn my sorcerer gets, I vortex warp the boss, legs disappear, and the train that's a good 70 feet in the air is now coming down right in front of us. I put the boss directly underneath the falling train and he gets crushed to death by his own train.

Instead after a similar thing to what happened in this video, they were plummeting to their deaths when they swapped places and the monster went splat.

Love the story. But what does the magic baseball glove do?
@CeliriaRose7 ай бұрын
I think it’s more just a gag. He commanded the dragon to catch and baseball gloves are used when you play catch/for catching baseballs.

I had a dm who wanted so badly to start everyone over because all we did was goof off during the campaign so she would try her damnedest to get us killed she could've just forced us to restart but she wanted a proper death to all of us it was hilarious the solutions we thought of to escape our fates one time she was so sure we were dead she started handing out sheets for us to remake our characters but i said wait a moment my pet demon and I are from hell and when i die my soul is sent back to hell and my demon cannot die and he and I are bonded so we can communicate with each other so I can tell my demon to summon me from the depths of hell and i can use a true resurrection spell to bring back the rest of the party some rest and alot of dice rolling later I've brought back everyone sure some of them were brought back as zombies who could only do what i tell them to but everyone was back in one way or another and she just said fuck it and we continued that campaign and it was like i was a new mini-dm for the party because I was in control like I said I was a succubus necromancer for anyone wondering and yes it was hombrew

We just did an Adult Red Dragon fight! Our level 10 butts were getting whooped and the dragon was barely under half. So our Artificer decided to kamikaze into the Astral Plane with Bags of Holding.

The sorcerer cast his command to the dragon! In an instant he saw this age old beast of fire and death’s eyes widen, it’s tail wag, and it’s stance lower as it bound after him like Clifford the big red fucking dragon. Spectacular.

I didn’t think it would be “catch” I thought it was gonna be “fetch” because then logically the dragon has to put you back. 😂

Similar situation with my Hexblade. The divination wizard had shrunk the dragon’s size in order for it to qualify for eldritch smite’s effect. Dragon tosses me off the edge, I used my hex ability to teleport to my hexed target and had to land the blow on the dragon for the smite. When it hit, the dragon fell prone from high atop this sky temple. It splattered on the ground and couldn’t survive the sorcerer/fighter basically bombing it with fireball, action surge, fireball again.

Does no one else realize how ironic that is? He saves his life and his party’s lives by commanding the dragon to catch, and as a reward, he gets a baseball glove

Once in a game we were fighting a hydra. Our orc barbarian plunged his hand into the hydra and pulled out his heart. He then proceeded to take a bite. Not knowing what it did, the dm quickly flipped a few pages and says "Ok make a saving throw". Hydra blood is incredibly poisonous, unless you pass a saving throw. In which case it allows the player to develop regeneration like powers, reviving hp with each turn whenever they take damage. So now our barbarian has basically deadpool style abilities while also being massively stupid (he had very little put into intelligence and wisdom). It was a power move and was amazing to witness

"The dragon swoops down and grabs you in it's jaws. Take 2d10 piercing damage. Now that the dragon has completed its command, it breath weapons you while you are in it's mouth. You get no save. Take 16d6 fire damage. The dragon then drops you again.

My favorite was starting the fight with a lich with Command: PWK as it was previously stated to be a well-known shorthand for Power Word Kill. Since acronyms were shown to be treated as single words by the DM per a previous puzzle, lich wasted its ninth level spellslot on casting PWK knowing full well all of us were outside of kill range. Second place goes to Command: Gargle, forcing an enemy to cast Create or Destroy Water and then spend a turn facing the sky while gargling the newly-created water, meaning we were out of his line of sight (advantage on attack rolls and the rogue and archer could safely find full cover without him knowing roughly where they were hiding) and his mouth was occupied so he couldn't even cast spells with verbal components. Third is using Command: Fetch on a werewolf while throwing a stick off the bridge we had been fighting on. Werewolf ran to the side of the bridge, looked down at the falling stick, sat down, looked back at us, and whined like a puppy (sad puppy eyes included). Our barbarian then drop-kicked it over the edge.

The thing is, there's a few ways you COULD interpret the command. But the more obvious interpretation was to catch the Sorcerer before they hit the ground. The DM chose to save the player instead of going for a different "catch."

Lvl 11 gunslinger. On a custom campaign, my party and I just got bounties on our heads in the millions. We fought our way down 20 floors of bounty hunters and mutants when a helicopter destroys the floor beneath us. DM calls for reflex saves. Our ice witch is out, cold. Her dragon bodyguard is trying to keep a slab of concrete from crushing us. ( he almost failed the strength check) Goblin fighter landed wrong and couldn't get up in time. That left me. Now my character has been infected and cured, lost and regrown limbs, been blown up, been shot at, my character had enough. "I command load my last adamantine Bullet, and fire at the helicopter rotors" i tell DM. Revolver "Peacemaker" is outside of its range, and im specifying where i shoot it, so negatives to range and location. That Hail mary was enough and disabled the helicopter, causing it to fall and spin, shooting wildly at the building and down to the ground.

My party decided to split up and two of us went to a mountain to search for young blue dragons, but they were not young. Those characters found a Time Machine in the middle of the fight because this is my DMs way of getting us out of stupid situations not apart of the plot.
