Ey FP people! send something d&d related.

I play as a flying shovel. My DM has a rule set strictly for me...

Man, the natural 20 does not defeat every monster it comes across, you'd need probably a dozen 20s to get an ancient red dragon even half hp
EroticZombiePants
Why show what they've missed when you can recycle the missed material the next game?
tzxAzrael
because that +5 Holy Avenger definitely won't be in the next game, and you love to watch the Paladin cry.

Yeah euron definitely rolled a 20 on that shot....

WTF kind of ability one-shots an ancient dragon on a crit?
Adthay
Vorpal. Though in fairness it's pretty high level and uncommon
APersonofSomeDescription
I've seen a Halfling with a viorpal short sword one shot a great wyrm.
Adthay
"Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, 1/2
Adthay
and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch.” 2/2
APersonofSomeDescription
No kidding. DM described the magic sword literally dragging our poor little rogue through the neck that was several times her size.

#1 If the DM doesn't treat a 20 as some sort of reality-warping deus ex machina bullshit just because "LOL nat 20!", the dragon.

I once saved my entire party from cannibals by telling a joke that made the DM snort soda out of his nose.

I cast Summon Bigger Fish!

#1 probably the dragon if the DM isn't fucking around
WhiteWeaselMLAS
I know right. "Oh wow, if you were strong enough to hit like that normally, you might've actually stood a chance."
TheHasegawaEffect
Having played high level D&D... yes. Yeah, sure, do that a few more times and maybe you'll get the dragon to half before party wipe.
tzxAzrael
depends on the edition, and the characters' build and level. 3.5e had some RIDICULOUSLY overpowered builds where a crit just makes it faster
tzxAzrael
but the outcome was always almost inevitably in the players' favor, unless the players simply couldn't reach the enemy and it could hit them
FancyPantlessTeaParties
It would take more than a single crit to kill off an ancient dragon.
cakeface2016
That depends how vorpal your sword is.
RedJacketHero
Vorpalness is a pass or fail value
tzxAzrael
yes, but if it IS vorpal, that nat20 certainly makes things a lot more favorable to the players.
TM93
Depends a bit on the edition too. Triple crits are rare, but absolutely devastating in 3.PF.
tzxAzrael
in most games that have a rule for triple-crit (3 nat20's in a row), it's just "tell me how you kill it."
tzxAzrael
but that's REALLY rare... most games don't even have rules for a double-crit. you roll nat20, it's a crit, move on to damage.
tzxAzrael
or in short; games that USE triple-crits are at least as rare as triple-crits themselves.
Private4160
Ford memes in a D&D dump? Never thought I'd see the day.
squirtgar
My and my friends have an unspoken rule that the DM must show us his dice rolls.
Taltaron
That sounds like a concept that would kill most players before they reach lv 4.
squirtgar
Although I see ur point it also goes to show how hard it is to balance the game as the dm

drain from the DM’s face. if course, we still have one more dragon to summon, so he may still have his fun. 3/3

Hide geodudes or voltorbs that know self destruct all throughout the venue. Once a day my character can use telepathy without limits. Boom>

Most likely going to use it to divert attention and law enforcement away from other targets and commit a heist amongst the chaos

My DM tried to fuck with us and gave us a deck of many things. I pulled the Sun Card. All of his preplanned encounters are broken now.
bobon123
Your DM gave a legendary magic item (expected for PG lvl 17+) to a lvl 3 group. The game was already broken.
TyrionLannisterTheImp
Playing a broken game can still be fun, and besides, as the DM if your players aren't being challenged you can always add more enemies.
bobon123
Yes, it can be absolutely the case. What I am saying is that any leg. item to a lvl3 party would break the game. Can be fun, as a lvl10 1/
bobon123
sorcerer in group with lvl3 characters, but it is very different. Adding enemies does not help: you will still have one PC being a 2/
bobon123
superhero and the others being useless. It is a feasible play style with an experienced group, but not an easy one. But the point is 3/
ThatOneIndustrialElectrician
It was weird though because in previous campaigns I had a Homebrew item that was called the Deck of very Strange things. (1/2)
ThatOneIndustrialElectrician
It was mostly illusions and other small effects that wore off in like a day. So I just instantly pulled a card thinking it was that. (2/2)
CycloneSP
just thank yer lucky stars you didn't draw the 'void' card
bobon123
That's why it's a lvl 17+ item. At 17 'void' or 'skull' is a plot hook, at lvl 3 you just re-roll the character.
Cyatts
And then a portal opens in front of the group. A being emerges from it, he resembles your old friend but is now twisted from unknown horrors
ThatOneIndustrialElectrician
(For those who don't know, The Sun card gives your Character 50,000 xp. I was a level 3 Sorcerer. I'm not anymore)
Snowdemoman
That's... that's a lot of XP...
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Holy shit
ragenerator
How many levels that gets you?
phalanks
He would've gone from level 3 to level 9
GraaaaassTastesBad
Should make you roughly level 9 depending on how fast their level progression is.
hawairishman
But don’t you just level up once? Aren’t all extra XP wasted? Like you would get the XP to get to 4 but it wouldn’t keep carrying over
Maverickingdom
XP Just keeps adding, you don't reset to 0 xp after you level up.
Fasrill
Depends on the Home Rules used by the DM, sometimes they let XP carry over to the next level.
tzxAzrael
it would be a very special and cruel DM who tossed out extra XP. hell, in 1E, you earned 1:1 xp for gp. this is why bringing ALL the loot...
tzxAzrael
home has been such a trope for D&D adventurers. 1000gp? heck, that's another 5% of my next level. get it in the wagon somehow!

tzxAzrael
dude. i feel like you've been playing with some really unoptimized characters if you think D&D dragons are that tough...
tzxAzrael
i mean, they're not WEAK... but at the level you SHOULD be fighting them, your party SHOULD be able to handle it, unless you've all been...
tzxAzrael
making some anti-optimized character growth decisions for the past 18 levels, AND your DM has been stingy with wealth-by-level guidelines.
tzxAzrael
Ancient Red has 527hp (avg)... but it's CR23. that means it's "on par" for a party of about 4 players, average level 23. so at 18~20, it's..
tzxAzrael
a pretty difficult encounter. if you meet one before your party is about level 15... there's only a few options.
tzxAzrael
1: your DM is tired of your shit; roll over and die already. (rocks fall, everyone dies... except with fire and claws.)
tzxAzrael
2: it's a scripted encounter; run away, and/or get captured, as the plot dictates.
tzxAzrael
3: y'all are playing 3.5e, have spent way too much time optimizing, and are severely OP. tonight's menu: Dragon Steak Stew.
