general dnd advice is just don’t play with straighties but also gays only make characters that have like 5 int and 27 charisma so you can’t win honestly
how… what is… did you just have this art lying around?? was it in a box labeled In Case Of Goblin Seduction 6-Pack Joke Break Glass? apparently this is a Magic card and I have a lot of questions for Magic: The Gathering right now
I can never remember this card’s real name because everyone just calls it “Abs of Treason”
The card name is “Enthralling Victor”. It has a ‘spiritual sequel’ card in terms of artwork called “Captivating Crew”, drawn by the same artist:
Backstory: Our party is visiting a camp of a lobely bug bear named Wolfgang, and while inquiring Wolfgang, he tells the group about a rock he’s been studying just outside the camp. The rock is glowing green and I covered in runes in a language none of the party can decipher…
Paladin: *talking to Wolfgang* So how long have you been studying this,,,, green glowing rock?
*Wolfgang and our paladin talk back and forth while the rest of the party fools around with the rock*
Bard: *OC* I reach out and touch the rock to see what will happen.
DM: Your vision blacks out. What do the rest of you do?
Me, Sorcerer: ….. I lick it.
DM: *laughing* what why?
Me: I want to see if
It’ll get me high
DM: Bdsjks okay, you lick it. The same thing happens to you. *To our druid* How about you?
Druid:….. I lick it.
*The characters touching the rock saw a vision of a few drows. After that….*
I think the reason I love DnD wizards, aside from enjoying the mechanics of playing them, is that, in RP terms, wizards can be people with no real talent or innate special ability beyond a sheer determination to learn magic the hard way.
Wizards are really the only class who prioritize the “Intelligence” score, which in DnD terms is more about acquired knowledge than any kind of inherent ability. They have no great athletic ability, like the martial classes. They’re unique among all DnD spellcasters – they aren’t grappling with and trying to control great power they’d have no matter what (like a sorcerer) or receiving power from a mighty force beyond themselves that demands responsibility and devotion (like a cleric or a warlock).
Wizards seek out power. Which, in DnD worlds, is actually kind of a nuts thing to do. So it’s always fun to figure our why your wizard character would even want to learn all these arcane secrets. Why they would work so, so hard at it, in spite of all the danger. Wizards can be characters with no “talent” or “special skill” beyond a work ethic and determination to try their hardest.
I just…love the RP possibilities that opens up. That’s why wizards are my favorite class. And also probably why I gravitate toward loving wizard characters in DnD shows and podcasts.
Context: While playing inside a cavern, the players alerted a couple of goblis who ran away and destroyed a dam, causing a flood which was heading towards the players.
DM: You hear the roaring sound of a tremendous amount of water rushing towards you. Actions?
Noble fighter: I pull out my pedigree scroll and show it to the water flood to see if it parts away in respect.
DM: you do what
Wizard: I cast burning hands to try and burn the water
DM…
Folk hero: I push against the water flood with both hands
Bard:I help him push.
(Everyone gets flushed away)
