Dumbest shit I ever saw was one of my players charging an entire group of orcs by themselves with full confidence that they wouldn't be killed at level 3 only to then be immediately killed. Darwin Award worthy.

[@BreathingStereotype]

Did this party also happen to have lawful good paladin and and die in a magic cloud?

[@scythetherogue]

The stupidest thing I’ve ever seen a player do was hug a bugbear. He was almost instantly k.o.’d by him. The rest of my party ended up getting annoyed after he made many more stupid choices and we all ended up killing him together.

Maybe he misheard and though the DM said ‘hugbear’?

Described a warehouse as having barrels of gunpowder and oil, in addition to food supplies and metal bits. The party ended up getting attacked by a mimic disguised as a barrel- genius wizard went right ahead after they destroyed the mimic- and cast burning hands into the barrels of gunpowder and oil.

[@spawnofmutran5198]

That reminds me of a time when my party was clearing out a kobold lair, and the rogue ran off into a room full of barrels. Even though the GM told him the room was filled with the distinct odor of alchemist's fire, even though the rogue was a pyromaniac who always kept two bandoliers of alchemist's fire strapped to his chest, and thus should have been well acquainted with the smell, he decided to pry one of the barrels open with his sword. The rest of us were fighting on the other side of the dungeon, and we could all feel the the oxygen getting sucked out of the room to replace the air consumed in the fire. Now, in fairness, the rogue had recently taken a massive load of waste excretions to the face, so we reasoned that his nose probably wasn't in the best condition.

At least it wasnt fireball

[@backonlazer791]

While that first story is sweet cosmic karma, having a level 20 NPC as a bouncer is a bit... much. Perhaps she used to be an adventurer but now settled in a married life with her wife, but normally level 20 characters are those who are out there saving the world (literally). I believe the Drow Matron Mother is the ONLY level 20 unnamed/non unique humanoid monster (based on its caster levels). A level 20 character working as a bouncer would be similar to an irl world champion athlete making food deliveries.

[@FlameHidden]

Yeah, that was really bad DMing and terrible representation to boot.

[@51909relapseminem]

Nah I can see a level 20 character taking an easy job after finishing what they need to finish. They probably don't need the money, they're just doing it for fun/to have a relaxing job for once (let's face it, adventuring is dangerous). Plus I can see it like the character does this job but will go out on another adventure if duty calls.

[@kaimagnus5760]

Not that far of a streach. Could easily be a retiered adventurer who is just taking it easy after they've gotten all their fame and fortune. And being a bouncer at the place their spouce works at would be inline with a retiered adventurer too since she'd be spending time with said wife and making sure she wasnt kidnapped by bandits, goblinated, or harassed by Spoony Bards that cant take a hint.

[@Rule-be6lw]

Also the fact the dm when with give the bard the finger instead of going that’s sweet but I’m taken shows that they can’t take any kind of Derailment no matter how small.

[@kaimagnus5760]

@@Rule-be6lw He did say it was a super low roll. Its my understanding that the lower the roll in D&D the worse the result. So I think that, combined the the fact the Bar Maid was married AND a lesbian, that the responce was appropriate. If they got a 15 instead of a 4 I might agree with you.

[@enderoctanus]

Killing your player for flirting with an NPC is the DM being dumb not the player. Unwanted advances shouldn't be a death sentence in a reasonable or realistic setting.

[@Wolfphototech]

Important note . Most classes can't do 2× the hp of level one classes in damage . As the default damage calculation for a punch ( unarmed attack ) is 1+ strength modifier which maxes out at 6 . The exception is barbarian , monk , tavern brawler feat and unarmed fighting style feature . Monk does the most damage with a unarmed attack . An barbarian does the least .

[@vampire9545]

Yeah I was confused too. Like I get the double deaths save just not the math for damage.

[@leonemaledetto1500]

Having a level 20 NPC next to level 1 player characters is much worst than playing a flawed character who hits on married women poorly. Don't emasculate your players by making them feel comparatively powerless, and they might not act out by flirting inappropriately

[@ignisshadowflame1027]

Having an npc of a higher level has it's uses but I'd limit it to level 3 against a level 1 party.

[@kevinskinner4986]

Okay, we're raiding the fortress of a kyton demagogue who freezes his enemies and keeps them on display as statues. We fight his avatar and learn very quickly that he has a spell reflection up to reflect spells that are cast at him back to the user. Two rooms later, we fight him for real. Our wizard completely derps, forgets that the avatar probably has the same abilities as the real one, and casts a powerful ice spell to freeze him.... only to get killed and frozen by his own spell. Kyton asshole: "Ah, a self-making statue, excellent"

[@DarthSironos]

"I nearly homebrew kill a bard for flirting with an uninterested NPC"... sounds more like a scumbag GM than a dumbest player, imo.

[@PantherCat64]

I might as well be an entire list. I like having achievements as a record of all the things I've done, one I gave myself is called "Roll for Initiative" and to get it you need to make the DM role 20 d20s. Yes I actually did that. By yelling into a cave. Full of monsters. In a attempt to avoid a fight. We nearly died but I got an unconscious wolf that would later create an entire character plot line out of it at least. I guess "Darwin Called" is my next goal.

[@whitemagus2000]

Its always amusing to see a horny bard get shot down but, who puts level 20 NPCs around to keep the players in line? Why doesn't the level 20 go out and kill the dragon, or orc horde, or whatever. Certainly a red flag of an experienced or railroading DM.

[@TheZandaz]

The Rogue that jumped into the whirlpool actually makes the fighter and paladin the idiots. The rogue was just doingbtheir best while the others ignored reasonable advice and ultimately fucked it.

[@foureyedspidergaming660]

Hello ripper and crew ! Im new to D&D and just played my very first ever game last night! ( it .. sadly turned in to a one shot because the other new players who this dm invited didnt like D&D and left .. soo .. yea... BUT! the DM is going to make a new game and find other people so i can play! ) I had a lot of fun playing as a .. strange type of bard lol. A kind jolly dwarf whos less flirty an more , just a really good guy! Thanks to your videos its helped grow my love for D&D and makes me all that more eager to get in to it. So thank you for helping me find a love for D&D and the great stories you read

[@loka7783]

My personal favorite story is one that didn't happen in my group but a friend of mine's. The party had a magical mirror that could scr on whomever the user directed it to. The party were hunting a dragon at the time so they scryed on it. It's at this point I must mention that the mirror also acted as a teleporter to wherever the person being scryed was at at the time. The party sees the dragon and the paladin immediately says that he wants to go through the mirror. The DM tells him the dragon was in flight at that moment. The paladin's player says that it doesn't matter and he'd stepped through. To no one's (except the paladin's) surprise, gravity asserted itself and the paladin fell and died.

[@AidanWR]

Apparently that bartender's wife has slain gods

[@seannemo8076]

We had a guy who insisted on playing a werewolf in a Vampire: The Masquerade game. And then decided to go into his hybrid form in the middle of a crowded street, even after the Storyteller warned him against it. We (the rest of the group) ended up hiring assassins to take him out, just to put more distance between our characters and his.

[@schizophrenic_rambler]

A.K.A Werepires. Unless heavily nerfed, werepires are more fitting for the BBEG role since they have the abilities of both vampires and werewolves, meaning they should be able to control their transformation

[@seannemo8076]

​@@schizophrenic_rambler No, we were playing vampires and he was playing a werewolf. Not a hybrid. In White Wolf's Vampire/Werewolf/Mage universe, weres have 5 forms, from human on one end and full wolf on the other. He changed into the middle form, which looks like the standard Hollywood werewolf. In the middle of a crowded street. In a game where maintaining "The Masquerade" is literally a matter of life or death.

[@schizophrenic_rambler]

@@seannemo8076 ah, my mistake.

[@goblinoftheyear7407]

This was in a steampunk science fantasy GURPS campaign. The playes were pinned down by a gunship in the wreckage of a train in the desert post violent-interdimensional-tear-in-reality. The gunship was performing strafing runs with it's rotary cannon, but was being consistently interrupted by the (very buff) cyborg engineer tossing well timed chunks of scrap metal at it, all the while the rest of the party takes pot shots. But then the stealthy thief has an idea. Not a well thought out idea, but an idea. "I'm going to distract the gunship." And so he sprints out of cover and successfully gains the gunships undivided attention. His plan was to try and outrun a high caliber rotary used by an air-to-ground attack craft. He didn't.

Dumbest thing a player friend of mine has done is have their character be pregnant and still have them doing adventures

[@DarkWStone]

My group of players are god damn idiots and geniuses at random times, the group of 8 or so players were heading to a tavern and heads up, we had 2 paladins, a druid, sorcerer, warlock, and a fighter and a barbarian, that of what I remember, they entered the tavern to see the bartender trying to get a stain out of the table. and right as they enter and hear that the goliath palidin yells "I wanna help the bartender get the stain out of the table". The DM sighs and says " roll a strength check, 11. DM " you failed". and then the goliath barbarian says "I want to help" they went at it in a loop for FIVE DANG MINUTES of rolling to try to get the stain out. They eventually did but after all of that and a simple long rest, our goliath barbarian goes downstairs and says to the bartender " can I go use your kitchen and cook" DM "sure" they then proceeded to go cook and the DM said to role for survival. 28... they proceeded to cook morning pies that one, EVERYONE got inspiration and word got out of how good the food was, they at the end of the day made 10,000 gold, got over 50 business cards, and are now famous for their pies.... P.S. The DM said that we almost derailed the entire campaign because we were supposed to go deal with a cult.

[@Ian_Comics]

10:17 My current group did something similar in our first session together. They arrived at a wizard's tower, and hanging by a chain in the middle of the door was a gridded cube with a keyhole. They spent 45 minutes trying everything they could to circumnavigate the door, growing ever more frustrated, until one of them realized the keyhole was in no way actually connected to the door. He pulled the handle and the door opened normally. The cube, I revealed after the campaign, was a lock picking exercise for the wizard's thief. If the party picked the lock (which they also didn't try) they would have been awarded with a magically conjured cookie.

[@galdramann2478]

We had a chaotic (good or neutral?) barbarian with HIGH intelligence, whose first instinct in an unexplored Underdark fungal forest was to bite into the nearest tree-sized mushroom. Got poisonend. Next thing same session, when everyone was trying to hide from a meandering vine creature (forgot the name), to just walk up and greet it - after getting warned by our guide, who knew the territory! In the ensuing fight one of our rogues almost died.

[@puffboifedora6831]

I’m a player in a game and this is more like our party being dumb. And this is my first session. The party consists of a Dragonborn Paladin, Dragonborn Rogue, Tabaxi Artificer And me the Goliath Barbarian. We all entered a room with 3 sarcophagus in the middle of the room and the door slammed on us locking us inside the room. The room had no traps all corners had a big torch bowl and on the wall there’s a fountain and there was a torch in the room cause I threw it. I slammed my buns of steel against the door and it didn’t open. Then the Artificer decided to make a machine which would take an hour. While waiting Our main character which is the Dragonborn Paladin decided to check the 3 sarcophagus. Now I can’t remember the first two but the third one the paladin called me to help and we tried to open it. Failed strength. My character getting angry trying to open the sarcophagus suddenly rages breaking the lid. He split it in two then made a half crack in half and the cracked half turned to dust. What was inside was a dead body. My Barbarian still angry decided to pick up the torch and throw it in the sarcophagus. Smoke starts filling the room and luckily our rogue had a bucket and filled it up to put out the fire. This was all in 5 mins. Our DM gave us a hint about the door and one of our characters gently pushed the door and it opened. The door was a soft open. We literally wasted like half our time in that room.

In the end it was good laughs and a lesson to listen to the DM when hes describing what an enemy has on them lol.

[@yat282]

The bouncer NPC at a random bar shouldn't be level 20. Level 20 characters are world famous legendary heroes that even the gods watch the actions of. Even the highest level priest of the church in the city, the king's bodyguard, or the headmaster of the wizard's school should not generally be level 20.

[@threadscore]

I was contacted by a GM running a Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords campaign to fill in for a player that was politely asked to not return. I spent most of my introductory session muted on Discord, waiting for the party to find me. The very next session we come accross a puzzle to escape the dungeon we are in. My character, not realising that obviously-trapped hole, with obviously-trapped lever is obviously trapped, reaches in and promptly gets her hand chopped off. She is a barbarian. Thankfully the GM took pitty on me and offered me a chance to obtain a clockwork replacement.

[@dizzydial8081]

Party member of level 2 went on his own and into a room boarded off with a sign that read "DANGER! DO NOT ENTER" He went in and found dead bodies full of rotgrubs. The DM was nice and let us meta game to go save him.

[@stevenporter7065]

Probably, when I as a new player was playing in the essentials kit module at school. I was a dwarf barabarian. One of the moments of this campaign has already been told on this channel. In picking up where that story left off. The DM retconned the plot and shot us straight towards the final battle. We go up the ice path, im leading, I make a survival check fail and slip off the side of the cliff. Dex save fails as well. I roll a luck check cause dm likes it from 3.5 and roll a 19 or 20, some God lifts me back up onto the platform. The DM outside of character says, he basically will not be saving me anymore cause the entire campaign, Ive done something stupid then rolled my way out of it. We come to a building and there are guards inside, I decide to split the party. Having half of them scale the building while the other half distracts the guards. Two things happen... Our party who scales eventually makes it after a few rounds to the top, only to realize they scaled the wrong building. Meanwhile, me and the paladin walk back in to negotiate so we can kill the dragon. Immediately they shoot me with an arrow and combat starts. Its a 4 v 2. We struggle but kill 2 out of 4. The rogue out of character knows we are getting our ass handed to us and descales the building to try and help while we've killed 2 of 4 of the guards. The Goblin fighter says F-it jumps buildings trying to sneak up on the dragon. Me and the paladin get knocked and almost killed a 3rd guard. The boss guard we havent even touched. the rogue, sneaks down sneak attacks the boss for like 20 or 40 damage, it was insane. The boss is almost dead turns around with the other guard and knock him in one round. They then kill us while we are unconcious. We go back to the goblin. He fails a stealth roll on the top of a building near the dragon. Queue combat, the dragon flies up and he yells, "come down here and fight me tooth and claw pussy!" While raising his fists at the dragon. The dragon drops back to the ground, hits him for some damage. On his second turn the goblin runs and tries to jump in the mouth of the dragon so he can rip the dragon up from the inside like draxx from Guardians of the Galaxy. He fails and is between the dragons teeth and dies to poison or acid damage. Splitting the party killed us. It was honestly, one of my top 5 best dnd moments. Telling this story is always fun for me. As a DM its quite hilarious to think about. I am currently also a player who plays an illusion wizard, and thats fun. I am probably the least chaotic player at the new DM's table and give him advice as he learns. I still play dnd every week with the goblin player.

[@THEMrFill]

This happened in the last session... Party come across a Frost Giant about 100 get away, walking away from them, they have the jump on him... Rogue yells "YOO HOO, MR GIANT!!!" at the top of his lungs, my head goes into my hands, first attack by the giant is a critical hit on the rock throw, kills the Rogue outright with more than 150% of his health... Hopefully he won't do that again!

[@emmapicott449]

It is near.y 3.30 in the morning here and I can’t sleep so I’m blocking crochet while listening to your videos and have a story to tell from my last session two days ago (Saturday evening). So, we are currently approaching the end of our Viking setting home brew campaign, and my tiefling bard called Athena, who is originally from the Roman Empire but has bugs to bear with her former homeland, is very much pro respect to the people and innocent till proven guilty. Noting here, one of our players, a werewolf, was missing, so this was a 'filler' session. Note the word 'f i l l e r'. We are also all lvl 18 now, so pretty high powered, and Athena has an Anstruth Harp with all the extra spells and slots that entails. Well, we get home to our town of Kaupang from the previous week's fight (where I took a *harpsichord* to the face at one point), and find our people in an uproar led by one particular peasant who’s inciting everyone to violence against a little old lady that lives in the woods he’s claiming is a witch. His evidence? A calf that has a second draconian head, another two cows dead, and the fact that this woman had looked at them beforehand. Athena did not like this. At all. When Hal, our human that had become the town Jyarl (like a local king and I’m not sure if that’s spelt correctly so I beg forgiveness if it’s not), called the crowd a bunch of idiots, she actually agreed with him. We dispersed the crowd, the incited of the mob was dealt with, and we took the calf with us to deal with the old lady. Hal being the Jyarl, he wanted to just barge into her house and demand answers. I took the more respectful path of knocking and asking because you never know if someone is what they appear to be in one of our DM's sessions. Am I glad I did, because it turned out this was a centuries old being only outlived by our group's stone troll member called Thunk who just happened to be the sister of Cercei... The Greek Sorceress. Discussions were hard, the calf was her fault as she’d wanted Hal's attention to speak with him but the cows were not (turns out the farmer hadn’t been feeding his cattle properly, our bear Druid called Luka promptly said she’d be growling in his face about it later on). Mother Ingrid, as she’s now known, tells us that a century before she’d made a monster to keep enemies away from the town, and then put it to sleep underground in a nearby circle of standing stones. Only, now it was waking up and she needed help dealing with it. Ok, we say, we’ll sort it out for you, and I add that I’ll introduce my younger sister and adopted daughter to her later on after this because it’s lonely out here in the woods. We leave her house and head for the stone circle nearby. Said stone circle is covered in sealing runes. Thunk? Is not at all intelligent, I believe his stat for it is, at most, a three. He picks up a sealing stone, tosses it to one side, and sits in the hole it left behind. In doing so, he Broke. The. Seal. We had no plan. No information other than 'here be sleeping monster, good luck'. And our troll has just unleashed it on us without warning. Well, the earth started rumbling and quaking, more stones fell, and the monster makes its appearance. *A DUCKING TARRASQUE.* My first ever, and I knew from my party’s reactions that we were essentially screwed ten times over. So what do I do? I make myself bait. One of the spells that the Anstruth Harp gives you just happens to be Fly, with a speed of 60 feet per round. Tarrasques only have 40 (only 40, she says 😹). Add in a Fireball to the face and our friend here is now rather focused on my Athena, to say the least. Meanwhile, our Druid took her celestial beast form, which just happens to be an ancient gold dragon, and snatched up the rest of the party. The plan we came up with? Well... earlier in the campaign, we’d made several trips into the Astral Plane to deal with things there, and we still had a portal there nearby, with another through to our old enemy city of Rome itself just beyond. It needed reactivating by Hal, but Luka was able to get him there in plenty of time (thank the Gods). On the way there, however, we stampeded over a local farm. Thunk grabbed farmer and wife up, saving them in the process, and before he and the others went through the portal he yeeted them over and behind it to safety. Tarrasque is still following me with a second fireball to the face (I rolled decent damage, too 😹), and we all cheesed it through the portal. Our DM promptly tells Luka "you feel strength fill your body, more than you’ve ever known before." Ok, weird, but we still kinda have a DUCKING TARRASQUE to deal with, so that came first. We headed for the second portal which would take us to Rome, and our DM tells me "it’s been nearly ten minutes, your Fly spell is wearing off, what do you do?" I land on Luka. Ok, roll dex save. 16. Nope, using luck for this! 29. Thank you, luck feat! I land perfectly on Luka's back with the others and we swoop through the underwater portal to Rome. Roll strength to hang onto Luka. Three for me, Nat 20 for Thunk, who uses it to grab me and keep me from falling off, and into the mansion of the Governor that had attempted to marry my drugged sister against her will (long story short, he’s why Athena had to leave and doesn’t like her homeland and is now dead because of it) we went. There are guards who are shocked to see us, but we have other problems, and now so do they, not that they’d live to deal with them. The last we saw, the tarrasque was happily destroying Rome, and we headed for Cypress because, as Hal puts it, he wanted god parts so he can build a weapon to protect our town from any big bad stuff coming our way... which now included the Roman Empire itself, because they do manage to put the thing down (losing about half the Praetorian Guard in the process), and Very Much Annoying Emperor Claudius in the process. I’m just glad to be alive, and that cryptic comment to Luka, our bear Druid? She’s no longer a bear. She is now permanently an ancient gold dragon. 😹 Hal has been trying to claim that’s what she was ever since she first used this form, but she always denied it before. Well, now she is! 😹 and that, my friends, was my stupid decision that I somehow, miraculously, survived. I baited, outran, and somehow survived a tarrasque, in what was meant to be a filler session. It’s taken me nearly an hour to write this all out and my tea has gone cold, but it was worth it. The session ended a bit early because our DM thought we would actually stand and fight but didn’t (we might be idiots, but we’re not *that* idiotic), and we now have a Sorceress Protector of our town who is doing experiments for Hal to try and get dragon hide calves without the extra heads as a boost to our economy, our Druid permanently stuck as a gold dragon, and myself rather traumatised after this and regretting saying I would introduce my adopted daughter and sister to Mother Ingrid... who created said tarrasque to fight the town's enemies *BECAUSE SHE WAS BORED.* I was not impressed with her decision making. 😹

Hey there dumb player in question, so the first thing I did the first time I played DND was “attempt” to steal peanut butter when a whole ass lvl 3 enemy (we’re all lvl 1) is trying to attack us and everyone else is fighting it. Long story short a do a horrid front flip over the counter and land on my head (take like 4 dmg) now at six health I ask the bartenders for the peanut butter and they hand me a jar as they flee (now the Druid in my party is 20 sp in debt to these bartenders). Next session I throw the peanut butter at the enemy and ask the DM if it’s allergic, the DM rolls and it is. By this point the DM forgot that there was supposed to be a lvl 3 paladin to come and save us. Any who one of my party members goes down so as a bard I try and heal them (I realize I don’t have any healing spells) so instead try basic first aid and fail doing more dmg. So finally after all I cast the spell sleep, the paladin comes in after I just casted the spell and pushes it in the well. (Edit) the dm still is mad at me i put a orchid in my hair and took 4 poison dmg cause I was allergic. Never mess with a dm and then seek out a botanist, or a librarian. Librarians have so many heavy books to throw at you, also they can terrorize any wizard by hiding spell books in the library. Oh and I managed to snag a spell book, I’m a bard… I labeled the item in my inventory “book for throwing”

[@mittri1990]

One of my characters who in this campaign is the adoptive child of a leader for a very powerful factions often tends to wander of at times at random. He also usually never tell any other person where he went or that he left since he is playing a rogue he rolls a high stealth and goes away. One of the places he often sneaks of to is towards a library acting as a front for one of the leaders offices. He goes up to the counter and asks if the leader is in and finds out that he is not but he will be back hours later. The rogue then asks if he can wait inside his office which the person at the counter says no to since it's the main office of the boss and could be QUITE Dangerous. Which I say very loudly and indicates to the player is probably not a good idea to do. The rogue though as always when told no ignores the warning and thinks looking towards the direction where it is and asks how well defended it is. To which I respond to is there is two fully armoured guys that looks really tough and is the STRONGEST GUARDS in the faction. The rogue then goes up to the two and asks if he can be aloud inside which they first say no to but the rogue points out and promises he will not touch anything or do anything which he intended to promise. I have him roll a deception check cause I know he will not keep this promise and the player gets upset it's not persuasion instead since he would know the guuards. I place the DC at 25 and he gets 25 since he has really good charisma for deception. Waiting inside it takes a whole minute before the rogue gets bored before he wants to search the drawers where we all had a good laugh as 1 minute earlier we called him out on the bullshit that he admitted to he was at fault for. I point out what the reception said to him before and that he did promise not to touch anything before. Which the rogue disregards and after that I say to him ''are you sure you wanna do this?'' Which I get a yes to. The drawer the rgoue is looking in is ofcourse locked and trapped and trying to lockpick it he gets disintegrated as the player character dies.

Played a christmas Campaign as a Kobold bard. Party sees a group of nutcracker golems down the hill infront of a building. I used an illusion spell to disguise myself as one of them, slid down the hill and try to talk to them. The Golems don't talk and so they identified me as an imposter and KO'd me.

[@cmykrgb1469]

I am the idiot. We somehow wound up in the Elemental Plane of Fire, at a planar gatehouse, and we received conflicting information on how free the party was and how restricted the party was with me moving forward. I damned anyone that wants to keep us from moving forward and caused a Stone Golem to animate and attack my character. I'm level 3. We ended the session right after it animated and didn't kill me on the first round. I am absolutely boned.

Heres my dumbest story: I'm the DM of a 5E campaign with a homebrew setting. My party comprises a Aarakocra wizard, a drow bard, and Centaur druid(and a NPC human cleric, but shes not very important here). A bit of back story to set up the scene before we get into the dumb moment. The party had recently lost the wizard, so they had to venture the temple of a dark goddess in order to rescue him. His sister, a necromancer in said goddesses service, had kidnapped him and resurrected him in order to kill him again to satisfy her own personal vengeance(she believed he was responsible for the death of their family and clan). After the other two party members struggled through the temple, they finally managed to retrieve him and used a scroll of resurrection supplied by the cleric(who couldn't enter the temple of another god). They succeeded in bringing him back and fought his necromancer sister. she was defeated and subsequently killed, much to the wizards sadness when the cleric was unable to resurrect her. After a very short funeral the party held, the party ended up trapped in a mine by a character from the druids backstory. The mine itself was just a means for them to pass through to the next part of the campaign. They explored the mine a little bit, discovering a near vertical shaft that went down about 250 ft. The bard is upset about the previous events and explained a bit of her involvement with the wizards sisters death(she made a deal with the goddess of the temple, whom gave her a task and helped kill the wizards sister in order to get the bard on task). They stand at the lip of said vertical shaft having this discussion. What happens next, none of the party expected. Wizard: "I want my character to slip and fall into the shaft." party: shocked silence Me: "What?" Wizard: "he slips and falls." Me: "Uh... Okay?" Keep in mind, this wasn't behind the scenes or something I the DM had any knowledge of. Also something we did in this campaign, we had a rule of plot armor. If you character died, the first time they'd get a shot of plot armor and be saved. Due to the previous events with the necromancer, the wizard didn't have any and was injured from the fight(which is why they had planned to take a long rest since they were trapped in the mine anyway). I had explained how deep he shaft was, so there was no confusion. The Bard and Druid panicked, rushing to try to help him. I allowed him to roll to try to stop himself, but it failed. the party, due to nature of the shaft, could only move so quickly or risk falling themselves. The Wizard ended up taking 20d6 bludgeoning damage and instantly killed himself. To make things worse, the druid ended up giving up her plot armor to him so he wouldn't die. This ended up coming back to haunt the druid later, and I regret allowing them to give up that plot armor. TL;DR the wizard intentionally killed his own character and then was like, whoops I didn't realize it was that deep(he forgot the depth I told him 10 minutes prior somehow).

[@TheDrumMajor]

I'm the actual player who did this. Playing Curse of Strahd. Just finished a battle when we see Strahd flying in on his nightmare. I jump into a nearby pitfall that some of the enemies we just defeated used for ambushes. While the rest of the party speak with Strahd about what had just unfolded, I realize something: I had joined the campaign late, and so Strahd has no idea who I am. The situation isnt getting any better, and it seems as if a fight might break out shortly. I say to the DM, "Are there any rocks in this pit with me." She responds, "Yeah, the terrain is a bit rocky and you see some decent sized chunks in the hole with you." "I pick up a rock and hit myself in the head with it." Entire table looks at me dumbfounded. They dont know what to say until the DM speaks up. "You know, I kinda wanna see where this goes. Roll for damage." I roll almost max damage. DM narrates, "You successfully draw blood, the warm crimson flowing down your face." I immediately jump up and act as if I'm in a daze, shouting stuff like, "Where am I? What happened?" I then walk towards the rest of my party as they continue talking to Strahd. Eventually, I get everyone's attention, and explain how I came up here to sightsee and was attacked. Next thing I knew, I was in a hole with this gash on my head. The part's bard, Luna, immediately picks up on what I'm doing, and plays along, cooing soothing words towards me and ignoring Strahd altogether (whom I might add was described in this moment as, "Uncomfortable, shocked, and twitching in the face ever so slightly") Eventually, he asks who I am. "My name is Papaya Man; I'm a tourist here in Barovia." Roll for persuasion. Nat 20. Strahd looks at me, still twitching every now and then, and I suddenly hear the DM roll some dice. She keeps the result to herself and continues letting the situation play out. I decide to offer Strahd a papaya to show that I am no threat to him; his confusion only grows more apparent. After this, Luna urges that we should leave and get me some medical attention, and so we leave the area, leaving Strahd alone and confused as all hell. As we walk back, our goblin rogue pulls out a book: STRAHDS FUCKING SPELLBOOK. THEY SLIPPED A NOTE TO THE DM ASKING IF THEY COULD STEAL IT, AND THEY SUCCEEDED IN DOING SO WHILE HE WAS DISTRACTED WITH ME. The second dice roll that I heard was Strahd trying to contain himself and not take a bite out of my neck; after all, I was this random nobody covered in blood who willingly walked up to a vampire.

My group of normally intelligent players were against a few basilisks. I explained that if they want to swing with their eyes shut it would be at disadvantage, and if they have their eyes open they would be making con saves or be petrified. This group of players is about level 5-7, and its a fairly reasonable encounter for them. Now, non player likes having disadvantage, least of all a rogue. So the rogue of the group decided to risk it and try to attack while looking at the basilisks. He fails and becomes petrified of course. Next up, the barbarian figures he has the best con in the group. He also fails and becomes petrified. Next up the ranger also fails and becomes petrified. Only the druid and wizard chose not to try, and at that point they were outnumbered and in dire straits. They decided to simple gather up the petrified players using the druid as a mule (by shapeshifting) and to go home. They later were unpetrified but the group failed the quest... I was shocked. Out of all the west marches quests they had done, its the only one they have ever failed... and they deserved to fail it.

[@Dan-fw2db]

I had an idea for a house rule mechanic if I ever DM, every night the players get 1 save point. If they don't use it, it rolls over and they can sorta, collect them. They can agree to use a save point, and we mark the gameplay progression there. If it goes badly, they can all decide to roll back to the save point agreed upon. Debating on whether or not the save point is spent upon placing it, or upon rolling back to it. Say, if they think it's going to go badly, but it doesn't, should they get that save back regardless? Additionally the game is going to be hazardous enough to actually warrant said save point.

[@spawnofmutran5198]

When I was about six or seven, I joined my brothers and their friends in a First Edition campaign. For some reason, I thought it would be funny if my halfling bought two drinks at a bar, mixed them together, and downed the concoction. He blacked out instantly, got thrown out of the bar, and when my brother's thief found his unconscious body, he stole all his money. Years later, my brother claimed he was simply taking a big-brotherly action to warn me of the dangers of alcohol. Just a few years ago, a guy from a social group I was part of started up a 5E campaign, and their were a lot of newbies among the players. When we got attacked by goblins, the dragonborn sorcerer didn't even realize he could caste spells until someone reminded him. Now, credit where its due, he did manage to kill two goblins with his burning hands before falling to the near TPK. In the next session, we were joined by a cleric who didn't seem to understand that being level 1 means charging right into a tribe of goblins by yourself probably isn't a good idea. Though I quit the group shortly after due to a disagreement with the DMs, I would later meet them again at a birthday party, where one of them told me the aforementioned cleric's player never learned his lesson and continued trying to impose his Rambo fantasies onto the game.

I’ll never get over this encounter we had while the party and I were playing Descent Into Avernus. While partaking in a series of trials to determine whether or not we were fit to be sent on the dangerous expedition, we were confronted by a room that had split the party into two separated by a mirror blocking sound between the halves of the party. Both sides of the room had an open hallway leading to a door along with sections barred off that had a pile of gold and an area covered in magical darkness. Long story short, the rogue and I fumbled our way through fighting an undead Beholder in the darkness before trying the unlocked door.

[@nickpossum3607]

On one campaign, we got chased by a whole bunch of Dragons while we (the players) were in a flying ship. We all were panicking and scrambling to collect our stuff, since the DM described we are going to go down (No Save, No Run, DOWN!) Just as we get ready to bail, our Druid thought it be a Good Idea to "Check" on How Many dragons are chasing us and how close they are. By turning into a bird, then flying out a window, from a flying ship that is going at max speed to try and flee from a Whole Flock Of Dragons!!! He became a bird, flitted up to the window, and (Floop!) He was promptly sucked out and was almost accidentally eaten by one of the dragons. We did bail, we all got out of that no worse for wear, but the Druid took two days to catch up to us. I believe he was chased by a Wyvern for the better part of those two days. (You only remember the screwups more then anything else.)

Went to a different shop, bought 100's of oil flasks (my brother, the dm, made oil flasks cheap, because I always run out of them, and almost never used encumbrance) and threw them all into the blacksmiths forge.

I have two idiot-trap traps that I love to use and to share. My first: The Porcelain Treasure chest. A room in which there is nothing but a beautiful porcelain treasure chest with gilded edges. Everyone but an idiot will go "That's a trap", and I even tell the players "Yeah, probably." The trick is, if they open it normally it casts fireball. If they break it, they get a lesser health potion and a note telling them how clever they are. (Or if you're mean, a couple of rats to fight). I love it because there's always another door they can exit, but because the chest is so obvious and garish, they feel like they just HAVE to do SOMETHING with it! My other one: Thank You For Knocking. I stick a door knocker on a random bit of wall (ideally early on in a dungeon) with a nice wood-burned sign or ornate plaque or whatever that says 'Thank you for knocking!' above it. When knocked, it casts the auditory portion of the Knock spell. So, nothing gets unlocked, but everything in a 500ft range heard them and is now on the alert. I always get a chuckle out of that one.

Idk if anyone will see this but here goes: So we were running a Campaign (still are) where my dad is the DM and it’s me, my brother and two of my friends, and the Campaign name is “we didn’t meet in a tavern” we actually met on a giant ship that got attacked by a kraken within the first 3 minutes of the session. The dumb thing I did, was trying to stay in the cage my Tiefling (Lightning Sorcerer), was put in for some reason she doesn’t remember, my logic was “well, this weird rogue broke the lock and maybe I can just play dead because of my ‘Slow to Trust’ trait and escape after I get knocked off by the Kraken”… bad idea, the kraken overturned the ship and my cage was caught upside down, so loe and behold, I couldn’t get out because I failed a strength check and the Cleric had to come rescue my characters after the Elf Ranger (my Characters father-figure) started panicking because I didn’t make it to shore… Tl;dr: ALWAYS leave a cage when you have the chance, slow to trust doesn’t matter in that situation and could get you killed by a Kraken.

So this was my first time playing d&d and ttrpg in general. The party were on a mission to clear out some spiders from a cave. We get to the cave and it's just webs everywhere so I'm thinking I can burn the webs and probably kill a few spiders. Nope, the webs burn and the spiders are alerted to our presence. With the entrance to the cave on our back and a hoard of 8 legged freaks in the next room, fighting to be the first through the 10ft wide passage to the room we're in. We roll initiative but the spiders roll really low, the 2 melee guys take positions near the "door" ready to start ganking anything that comes through, the ranger shoots off a couple shots down the passage and I cast flame sphere, sit back and relax. TLDR: I did stupid and alerted a whole dungeon to the party's position then killed most of the dungeon 300 style with a flame sphere.

He fails and is engulfed again and other two players end up engulfed to because tried to help him.

Level 20 characters are quite literally superhuman and could be advising kings and looting tons of gold off other planes. Why would anyone like that settle on being a bouncer?

[@darkwarriorprogram6546]

DM here: There was a genetic alteration lab designed to create people with supernatural abilities (cliche? yes; do I care? no) that killed hundreds of people in increasingly horrifying ways (ie. their organs liquifying from the inside out, patches of skin rotting and falling off, etc.). They found research papers on the experiments and one line specifically said "It would seem the subjects become unstable the more we use the machine." So what does one of the players do? Immediately turns around, walks to the examination table and tells another member of the party to turn it on. After confirming he was sure the other person turned it on. After a few minutes of the worst pain the character ever experienced (and probably ever will) he ended up with 4 heads, 5 exhaustion points, and was left at one health (considering all 4 Con saves I had the player roll were 10-13 I figured I was being generous putting him only on the brink of death). When he didn't immediately find a new power he wanted to try it again. Thankfully, when I said his character would flat-out die if he did the player chose not to do that. And about 2 sessions before this when the player who would eventually end up with four heads found a warning reading "Beware the blood moon" (after mishearing me and thinking I said 'blood man'). When the party came to a room with a bunch of tiles with symbols that glowed different colors- blue, green, purple, and red- they decided to turn the symbol of a crescent moon red and then try the door lock. Even after I asked if they were sure.

Not too long after, this whilst fighting off the gaurds and a level 15 BBEG warlock who was defending the prison, a disease ridden rat attacked the party's barbarian. He pretty easily diced the rat into pieces. But as its body careened over the battlefield, the rat's stomach released a noxious green gas. Several constitution saves later, several of the party's npcs, the warlock BBEG and the party's fighter had all contracted a disease. This was when the artificer read the note from the dead guy. It was a note trying to hint that there was a deadly virus in the prison. Moral of the story: don't toss disease ridden rat corpses into rooms full of people

We were climbing a wizard tower in search of something, and I kept reading books to try and learn new spells; instead I kept failing saves and getting mind locked (think SpongeBob and the sphere of confusion), and then a couple floors later the map showed a massive pentagram in the middle of the room, and a shiny object in the other side. "Hey DM, I'm checking out the shiny object." "You're going STRAIGHT there?" "Yyeeeesss." "As you step on the massive pentagram, it starts glowing. A portal opens up and skeletons start coming through. Roll initiative." We ended up beating them, but in the process the Barb ended up going through the portal, causing her to be temporarily trapped in hell. We went on a short plane-walk to try and find her, but eventually she came through another followed by a hellhound. Posted how that one went in another video.

Before a player does anything _obviously and profoundly_ stupid in a game I run, and clarifying at least THREE TIMES that the player wants to do that, I'll have them roll an INT check for their character, and/or a relevant knowledge check. If it's fairly high, I feel I should step in and say "even if _you're_ that fucking stupid, it looks like your CHARACTER isn't." If the player _still_ want so do that, a pink rubber ball will come out of nowhere, smack that character in the head, before they do whatever it is. That would be the player nailing them with an Idiot Ball. I;ll let the other players/characters examine and attempt to identify it before it disappears (such an item in certain hands can be quite effective).
