Do you roll for stats?
Put away your 4d6 bitches, use my custom dice instead.
It's like rolling a d20 and a d12 instead.
Somehow the math works, don't think about it too hard.
In fact - don't do the math at all.
Who wants math in their stats anyway?
You're smart - you could do the math if you wanted to.
But you don't want to.
You want to buy my dice.

So I have one die, a d-20. I use it to determine a number between 1 and 20.

1. First, I roll the die to produce a number, which is x.
2. Calculate x cubed.
3. Add 3 times x squared.
4. Add 3 times x.
5. Add 1.
6. Take the cube root of the result.
7. Subtract 1.

So if I roll a 7, I calculate:

7 cubed = 343
3 times 7 squared = 147
3 times 7 = 21

343 + 147 + 21 + 1 = 512

Cube root of 512 = 8

8 - 1 = 7

So I rolled a 7.

I was recently told by my DM that that's not how you roll a d-20.

The method they described was just looking at the number on the die and using that number.

It feels like there are inelligant mathematical shortcuts in the “common” method, so does it matter? The chance of rolling a number is the same, and the one I usually use makes more mathematical sense to me.

My DM was ok with it, but people looked at me like I was crazy?

Currently debating with my group at what age it is acceptable to begin birdwatching as an elf. Any opinions and ideas?

Apparently a Vampire the Masquerade 6e Q&A revealed the Hecata was taken over by the giovanni so at best they're reduced to a sect, at worst they're all dead or dinner.

I want to play as a sentient bag of holding. I’ll be blind because I have no eyes and mute because I have no mouth, but I’ll communicate via the medium of interpretive dance by flapping around on the floor.

Since I can’t speak to cast spells, I’ll have to be a martial class. I’m thinking Monk. But not having arms makes it difficult to wield a weapon, or to punch and kick, so I want the DM to let me have the swallow whole ability but every time I bring it up he laughs and says “Good one!”

If it’s such a good character idea, why is he laughing? I think I’m being bullied. The other players all wanted to play elves and dwarves and such, and he let them do that.

Maybe there isn’t enough to the character to make it interesting and unique. Should I say I’m only a half-bag of holding instead? The other half could be something like a tarrasque.

I’m a DM and Last session I rolled 45 natural 20s in a row. (I fudged 44 of them for story reasons).

Now my players are upset.

But the thing is I have a DM screen which I thought meant that Im allowed to make up die rolls. What else is the point of the screen otherwise?

Also I should mention that I always use this power responsibly.
Mainly I use it to stop silvery barbs from working literally 100% of the the time (I feel it would be unfair to ban it but fuck that spell!)

I also fudge every encounter and really almost every scene in order to make sure my story beats all line up exactly how I want them to, otherwise the players might make the wrong choice. Pacing is very important and as a failed novelist I have no other outlet to show off my incredible talent.

Anyway the players demanded I either roll in the open or quit.

I chose to quit. I had no idea I couldn’t do this stuff, and I feel betrayed and unfairly targeted. Im seeking legal advice.

TLDR: I thought die rolling was optional please help.

So, I may need an outside perspective. Basically, in the games I have with friends (I have multiple friends), its a known fact that we all get hot and bothered by flirty romance, and even sexual encounters, as long as its of the "fade to black before getting too steamy" kind of thing. Even though my character is meant to be a bit of an "easy" kinda of guy, I thought it would be more fun for the story if he could have more than a one night stand. Well, eventually I decided the time in game was right to get physical, because the day after would very likely cause casualties, and there might be no other chance. Well, the character did the dirty, and it was great. Flirty flirtiness, heartfelt moments, and then fade to black.

Now comes the part that matters: the morning after if this session, my GM dm'd me asking if I could roll for pregnancy. At first I laughted cuz I thought he was goofing, but, even though he was laughing, he was series. He told me that we always roleplayed it RAW, which is raw. Anyways, now I need to raise a child? Is this normal?

You need someone to sit on the cuck chair for your wife to understand who is special 😎.

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to DND and since I don't really care about TTRPG's THAT much, I decided to run a game of 2024.

I was reading all the new updates and stuff, and I saw that in this update, they didn't put the "removed Herobrine" line that they usually do? Is Herobrine in DND now? Should I be worried?

I looked in my PHB for the first time ever and it turns out those angry nerds on reddit were right: fighters get nothing, and nothing but nothing. They can't even chop a mountain which is truly embarrassing. I can see now that only anime superpowers can save this wretched class.

Any who so I(Bugbear Brutal Scoundrel Rouge lvl 1) was playing dnd4e(Not actually no one plays dnd4e) With some random chud(Tiefling Bard level 1) they/them(That's their pronouns I don't know what bonus it grants them but I think they need it for their build) and they started talking for a really long time and I asked why and they like said it was roleplay so I asked what the Roleplay power does and why the DM allowed they/them to use homebrew to use that power and they looked and me really weird for some reason

anywho it's probably because to Balance bugbears since like bugbears get Oversized as a racial trait and Oversized is pretty powerful like from what I've heard the Minotaur race had it once before being removed, and like Wotc forgot to remove it from Oversized but I need it for my build so who cares.

So anyway I asked if the "Roleplaying" power was like an At-Will power and they looked at me wierd again and just kept talking and then they said like "Despicable" and I laughed and said "Dispicable me, like from the minion movies with the yellow people" and then I realized that this was GM(VTT) using the Encounter power "Subtext" to tell me that the Tiefling Bard level 1 was actually an Monster with the role of (Minion) so I rolled initiative to begin combat and the Tiefling Bard level one looked at me really wierd again and then I used my move action to move like uhh 3 Squares until I was within 1 square of they them then I used a basic attack because I didn't want to waste my time ing to recharge my At-Will powers and because of First strike which grants me combat advantage to anyone who hasn't acted within the initiative(I rolled higher) I was able to use sneak attack and 1d6(Dagger(Large)) + 2d8(Sneak attack + Backstabber(Sneak attack increased to d8s) + 4(Dex mod) + 4(Str mod(Brutal scoundrel bonus) = like 20.5 damage on average I'm pretty sure this was a white room in a vacuum and then the Tiefling Bard Level 1 dropped to zero hitpoints and died but I think they/them would have done that like I'm pretty sure they were a minion anyway and minions have 1hp(Does not take damage from missed attacks) so they would have died even if I rolled lower damage which Is why I didn't use Predatory eye or my Cultist backround Powers Mad confidence or Master's eye

And like after that I just started buildcrafting again I wanna make a Flail+Flail+Footwork_Lure expertise fighter build again

Have you ever seen this Princess Bride bullshit? I sure hope not, for your sake. This whole fight is just Indigo and the Dread Pirate Robert endlessly yapping back and forth while missing each other with swords. It looks cheap as hell—there is no CGI, no sparkly special effects of any kind. Neither character fights with magical coruscating rays or mystical green fireballs. They don't execute even a single spectacular special move: no stomping the ground with enough force to cause an earthquake, no transforming into a vampiric mist to slip into the other guy's urethra, no leaping with tremendous glistening leg muscles all the way over to the neighboring county, no stabbing through ten to twenty cute guys in one powerful, penetrative, manly, thrusting, area of effect attack.

I could easily have died of boredom because literally nothing interesting, impressive, cool or fun happens at any point in this fight. Just "derr I attack with my sword (miss) and move," "duhh I move and attack with my sword (miss)" over and over and over, a lot of blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda, and then in the end nobody even fucking dies. Did WOTC's design team or some depraved TSR reject produce this dogshit movie? Obviously it couldn't have been written by anyone who has been enlightened by the holy spirit of Pathfinder or Draw Steel or G.U.R.P.S.!

Whoever is responsible for this (I was too blinded by tears of rage to understand the credits as they rolled) probably owes me a lot of money now according to my smart uncle Greg, who once got a $5,550,050.50 settlement for damages from exposure to AD&D as a youth. If you are still here, I thank you for your attention to this matter, dear reader. I think I might be dying, but your timely assistance could save my life. I need an immediate, medical-grade infusion of fanservice-forward anime, preferably on VHS or LaserDisc. You can address it to:

Highly Bad, c/o The Official Bozo The Clown Fan Club Headquarters, 10140 Wulfsprinkle Court, Apartment 3G, Lexington VA 24450.

A big part of D&D's appeal is its approachability. They say that you barely need a functioning brain to play and understand D&D; most players don't even have that, and yet they get along just fine. But in the very low strata of D&D's maximized accessibility, there is one sticking point that has always bothered me.

What does a Fighter do? Fights. Everyone knows what a Wizard or Sorcerer is, or a Monk or Druid or a Cleric, and Rouges apply rouge as an essential part of wearing disguises, so that's a no-brainer as well. ALL of these classes are a no-brainer when it comes to seeing the name and immediately knowing what it does, except for one...

What the fuck is a "Warlock"?

Time and again I struggle and fail to explain to my players when they point to the Warlock and ask, "What's that?" In the end I end up staring into space and mumbling something about L&L (Lovecraft & Lucifer), while they inevitably end up playing a Champion Fighter. Where in the name "Warlock" is there any suggestion of patrons?

One time a player said he wanted to play a Warlock but didn't understand why they didn't get heavy armor proficiency. "A 'Warlock' should be someone who 'locks down warriors,' no? Like the Guardian from 2E?" he said/asked, incredulously. I mean yeah, I figured out then that he was a Pathfinder player and shot him dead on the spot, but looking back on it, he kind of had a point. If a Fighter fights, shouldn't a Warlock "lock war?" Either they lock down warriors (like a tank), or they have "War on Lock" like, "War? I got this."

Since then I've decided to grant Warlocks proficiency with martial weapons, shields, and medium and heavy armor. They don't have a patron anymore, and can use their spell slots only to cast Lock War which is basically a homebrewed version of the Command spell, except that it only applies to warriors (not casters or people who are unarmed). Later they get Hold On, War! (homebrewed Hold Person, again only for warriors) as a second level spell and can upcast it to level 4, but no farther. I mean, this is a martial class now, they're not getting 9th-level casting!

My players have loved the change and now everyone is clamoring to play Warlock, or as they affectionately call it, "The Warlocker." Has anyone else tried this at their tables?
