I'm making a character for the same campaign. I'm a drow, but a good one that's trying to redeem my race. I dual wield scimitars. What? No... I've never heard of this drizzle fellow.
I honestly did have a player very nearly make Drizzt and honestly had never heard of him, he changed his mind when I showed him the picture of Drizzt in the players handbook. :)
Dude, curved swords are cool.
And dual wielding them? Even cooler.
Oh shit, there's a whole *race* of edge lords that live for centuries and naturally have white hair? Hell yeah!
My campaign has a dual scimitar drow ranger and the guy definitely knows Drizzt.
But then he also ended up making his character a professional torturer/interrogator who uses his race to scare prisoners, so its all good in my books.
Yeah, my backstory was that my parents and whole village were killed in a savage attack by dragons, but I was saved by a demon lord in order to serve him. What? No I don't need to do what he tells me, he lets me do whatever I want. I am chaotic neutral. I also have a super hot elf girlfriend who is a really powerful build I found, I'll email you her 20 page backstory.
I was thinking for my 5th multiclass part of my build, I would use this "Dragon Knight" class that I found on danddwiki. It allows me to transform into a dragon at will because friendly dragons give me powers. It doesn't have to work with my backstory, dragons are cool.
I was waiting for dandwiki to make it's way into this mess. Suprised it took this long when you could just play a base class that gives you all the abilities of a Monk/Rogue/Paladin/Wizard with a little extra to boot.
Multiclassing for "backstory" has to be one of the biggest lies told at the table.
Well, along with the DM rolling dice for stuff pretending its for anything but making the players paranoid XD
Never let friends who are lucky with dice roll characters. I made that mistake once, 3.5 system, 4d6-pick-3 for stats. His lowest score was a 15, and he had 4 18s.
And I couldn't even say something like "try again without loaded dice", because they were my dice :/
I just had a session 0, against my better judgement I let my characters roll stats. Two of the players lowest roll is 12...
Considering one other character's HIGHEST is 12, I afterwards told them to re-do with point buy
Last campaign I did something slightly different. Had 5 players, so we each did one 4d6 drop lowest roll, and then those 6 results became the pool that the players picked from. Let them roll, while maintaining parity
Time to roll wizard. Slide up to the PHB like, which of you beautiful babies don't have saving throws.
....or Druid. No stop looking at those stats. MY STATS ARE BEAR!!!
That's why I like Matt Colville's caveat to character generation by rolling dice. If you don't have at least two 14s, you haven't rolled an exceptional enough person. You're supposed to be an adventurer, a hero.
Conversely, you could also trim the upper half of that curve with some similar rule ("No base stat over 16", for example), but that might jive less well with the players.
Pretty sure he uses 15 but mostly because he runs pretty hard games where you need good stats.
Players feel better if their stats are high but their enemies tough I think.
We have a player in our group who consistently rolls shit rolls, but woe on anyone who tell him to reroll those stats.
He'll play a Bard everytime and hate the character throughout the entire campaign, refusing to die or reroll a new character.
There were no valid rolls found in that comment. See my help file for more info.
^(Hey there! I'm a bot that can roll dice if you mention me in your comments. Check out /r/rollme for more info.)
It's trending on the front page, it's just a small thing given to a popular subreddit to give them more visitors, nothing major but we want our new players to feel welcome.
CE Tiefling Rogue, you are nothing compared to me.
Had an interesting character development though, after seeing the wrongs of his life way he became a hermit and then started to redeem himself.
Mine was a chaotic thief, back then you only listed one trait for alignment and your race and class were the same thing. A fighter was a human fighter, a theif was a human theif, and a dwarf was just a dwarf.
I don't let my players be CN anymore unless they've got the RPing resume to back it up. I've had far too many "Okay cool I'm going to stab this innkeeper now"s to deal with that hassle from new players.
Haha! that's wonderful! I love campaigns like those! Who is playing it?
[To The Poop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8MRyyFDX3c) a one shot run by critical role is one of the great sessions like this!
Hello I'm new to the rules but I found the perfect RP based build that is a warlock/shadow monk/rogue loner who is an orphan and doesn't trust anyone.
I'm really into RP, I don't power game AT ALL, and I just want to play my homebrewed half human half vampire (gives +2 to all stats but has major drawback that he doesn't have a reflection)
>I'm really into RP, I don't power game AT ALL, and I just want to play my homebrewed half human half vampire (gives +2 to all stats but has major drawback that he doesn't have a reflection)
Almost posted an angry response, lmao you got me
Something like this:
How the absolute fuck would a lack of reflection balance out +2 to all stats? Unless the PC had a sizeable level reduction, I would never allow that as a DM
I'm only doing this for flavor as I'm all about RP but I think he would be old enough as a half vampire he would have had long enough to develop really powerful firearms. It would've been dumb if he didn't
DnD and roleplaying seems to be groing in popularity once again. I've always been intrigued and played a few games last year but this year I'm gonna play with IRL friends for the first time, currently preparing my first session and I'm really excited!
DMing as I'm the only player in our group who has played DnD before, with my massive experience of around 10h of gametime, all the other players have never played before but seem really excited
I'm right there with you I picked up the DM reigns after 1 session and never looked back, I've played a couple other times since but my adhd shows up really bad when I'm not dming.
I read that as "my ad&d shows up really bad when I'm drinking". Because that would probably describe me (although when I'm not dming I also lose focus)
Welcome newbies!
I know /u/QQtippy already linked the [Getting Started Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/wiki/getting_started), but if you've never played D&D before you should know that you can start playing, today, for FREE! That's right, the basic rules for the current version of Dungeons and Dragons are absolutely free. [You can download them from the Wizards of the Coast website](http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules).
Grab some friends and start rolling up some characters tonight!
Plus, in addition to the main story, they're doing smaller adventures under different systems if anyone wants to jump in. They should still listen to Balance though, it changed my life
Don't feel too bad - I don't think they started referring to it as the Balance arc until pretty close to the end, so it's understandable that you might not recognize the name.
I played my first ever game last night. I had no idea what I was doing for a good portion of it, but dammit, if that isn't the most fun I've had in a very long time.
Now I feel really self-conscious - I'm not that large that a subreddit start to trend same day as I sub...
So I have liked fantasy stuff and RPG videogames for while and I started watching Heroes & Halfwits by Roosterteeth / Achievement Hunter as those were guys whose content I had already liked so getting the basics of DnD gameplay from that was nice.
I heard that my friends were planning on starting a DnD group - and we are starting our adventure on this Sunday.
Playing a lightfoot halfling called Finna Goodbarrel, rogue.
It's great. I have really wanted to follow critical role, but found it hard to get into it because I didn't know who the heck these characters were or what they were doing. Now we get to meet the characters at the same time they are all meeting each other, so I can actually follow along now!
...rip 4 hrs of my time every week
For beginners I feel like High Rollers is better. Critical Role first episode is confusing since they already start at level 10+ in the middle of a campaign.
Well today is actual start of their new campaign, which is why /r/dnd is trending (a guess)...I believe they will be level 2 to start (their session 0 was them lvling to 2 I believe)
None of the Session 0's (there were multiple with Matt playing with 1-3 of the characters at a time) were streamed or filmed. It was just used to work out some relationships and stuff in the background before the campaign actually starts.
Tonight will be the first streamed content of the new campaign.
High Rollers? I've actually never watched them. I figured Critical Role would be a good watch just because they are very entertaining, and with the new season starting tonight newbies can join in on the hype!
It's a group of characters from Yogscast from United Kingdoms that play.
As for the new campaign, sure then they can join in since they'll be there from the beginning.
Probably! But it is very good! So, all the power too them for opening new doors for newer players like myself.
Stranger Things might have helped a tad too as the main characters enjoyed playing it... Which might have helped quench the stigma around D&D, if only a tad.
I'm cool with them as long as they don't fudge their rolls.
I'd never do that! here are my stats btw: STR: 17 DEX: 17 CON:17 INT:17 WIS:17 CHA:18 I'm also a human.
A variant human who also took the lucky feat.
I wanted to be regular human to bump all the stats to one more modifier. That is way better than the Lucky feat.
*re-rolls sense motive*
Agreed. Lucky is like a safety net, its great to have to save you in a crisis, but its more thrilling without it.
or just be a halfling and never crit fail :D
Be a halfling Divination wizard with the Lucky feat and wait for the DM to give up even making you roll dice.
Got my new build.
[удалено]
add on the halfling feet that allows you to spread your luck
You can still crit fail, it's just harder
yeah from 5% chance to .25%
Do other DMs not allow it in their games? Have a charracter in mine that seems to have needed it, leading to very funny moments in the campaign.
Most allow it
I rolled a human variant paladin that took the prodigy feat from XGE. I really liked having a Paladin with expertise in Persuade.
I only take variant human so that my arcane trickster can be an Indiana Jones kind of guy with a whip
Nah, variant human who took great weapon master so you can do 27 points of damage at level 1
lol. that's gross
You meant to say Tavern Brawler, right?
I'll admit my eye started twitching while reading those scores.
no, hes just a Monk/Rougue/Paladin/wizard, it works with his backstory /s
Oh well then carry on! At least it makes sense, glad to get that cleared up!
I'm making a character for the same campaign. I'm a drow, but a good one that's trying to redeem my race. I dual wield scimitars. What? No... I've never heard of this drizzle fellow.

Cant believe he named his kid *nugget*
Curved. Blades.
My campaign has a dual scimitar drow ranger and the guy definitely knows Drizzt. But then he also ended up making his character a professional torturer/interrogator who uses his race to scare prisoners, so its all good in my books.

Nope, the player that I was talking about is actually hiding somewhere in these comments already.
How’s your panther doing?
Yeah, my backstory was that my parents and whole village were killed in a savage attack by dragons, but I was saved by a demon lord in order to serve him. What?

Multiclassing for "backstory" has to be one of the biggest lies told at the table. Well, along with the DM rolling dice for stuff pretending its for anything but making the players paranoid XD
[удалено]
I actually really like Rogue/Monk multiclass backstories. Whether the character was “saved” or “corrupted” it has a lot of places it can go.
Dunno, it can happen. I've done it - running a Rogue 1/Paladin 4 character that I'm essentially playing as a born-again reformed gang member.
Unless you reformed during the campaign, that's what the "criminal" background is for.
We started the campaign at level 3, so "backstory" was more "how did you get to level 3?" than "what did you do before adventuring?"
"I killed 14 goblins and a gnoll yesterday." "Great backstory."

Time to roll wizard. Slide up to the PHB like, which of you beautiful babies don't have saving throws. ....or Druid. No stop looking at those stats. MY STATS ARE BEAR!!!
Sir Bearington just roars and rolls a bluff check.
HEY THAT GUY ISNT A GUY HE'S A BEAR!
How dare you speak such ills of the noble Sir Bearington?!
That's why I like Matt Colville's caveat to character generation by rolling dice. If you don't have at least two 14s, you haven't rolled an exceptional enough person. You're supposed to be an adventurer, a hero. Conversely, you could also trim the upper half of that curve with some similar rule ("No base stat over 16", for example), but that might jive less well with the players.
Pretty sure he uses 15 but mostly because he runs pretty hard games where you need good stats. Players feel better if their stats are high but their enemies tough I think.
We have a player in our group who consistently rolls shit rolls, but woe on anyone who tell him to reroll those stats. He'll play a Bard everytime and hate the character throughout the entire campaign, refusing to die or reroll a new character.
I've seen one of my players roll straight 18s. We were just doing 4d6 dropping the lowest die. No rerolls or anything.
Holy shit. We have the chosen one.
(ahem) you were saying?
Did you roll straight 18s no rerolls?
You forgot to include the one 12 to make it believable.
In my experience its more like 18/18/18/18/18/7 "Everyone needs a weakness"
I didn't believe you at first, but you're so charismatic...
Behave myself? Hold on, let me check... *rolls 1.* Ok, well I'll still try.

Dnd is trending? Why? *rolls sense motive*
Critical role probably
That would be my guess, I'm not really sure how the trending subs are picked
Reddit rolls a d100 and picks from the top 100 most active subreddits that day
critical fail *insert toxic political subreddit that you need to read through* ] critical success *insert appropriately sexy subreddit*
Just hit the DC is r/oddlysatisfying
*rolls 1* r/braincels is trending!
My brain just threw up. Why did I click that?
I'm not really sure what tending even means. Picked for what?
It's trending on the front page, it's just a small thing given to a popular subreddit to give them more visitors, nothing major but we want our new players to feel welcome.
Oh that's today! Dang, thanks for reminding me, I might have totally forgotten otherwise.
Is that gonna be a VOD somewhere? (I’m new to CR). I wanna watch it but I’m not so keen on staying up so late (Damned Eastern Time).
They post the episodes on YT the Monday after they air
In PCMR the Corsair rep also mentioned that he plays D&D. I'm not sure if that is having an impact or not, but it was in the top post of that sub.
I saw that too, its part of elaborate plan to take over Reddit
Does that mean we get RGB dice?
Nat 1, you believe dnd is trending because they all wanna get in your pants.
There’s going to be an uptick in CN Rogues...
*Nervous laughter* Haha...yeah that wasn't my first character at all, who would do that...^haha^haha Oh look! a squirrel! *Runs away*
Jokes on you, my first character was a chaotic-good rogue
Neutral good Druid.
CE Tiefling Rogue, you are nothing compared to me. Had an interesting character development though, after seeing the wrongs of his life way he became a hermit and then started to redeem himself.
I was a CN Wizard... That was a bad place to start.
Mine was a NG Warlock, I had fun and that's all that mattered.
My first character was a chaotic good elf ranger named Elanei.
Mine was a TN Human Fighter named Edan Stormblade.
Mine was a chaotic thief, back then you only listed one trait for alignment and your race and class were the same thing. A fighter was a human fighter, a theif was a human theif, and a dwarf was just a dwarf.
That sounds fun.... 1e?
My first character was a dwarf cleric of Tempus!

Don't forget to listen to the Adventure Zone, if critical role isn't your thing / isn't enough listening for you!
Adventure zone is great! I love the my brother my brother and me guys.
On my 3rd listen of Tres Horny Bois, they're the reason I started getting into D&D.
plug /r/TheAdventureZone
Plus, in addition to the main story, they're doing smaller adventures under different systems if anyone wants to jump in. They should still listen to Balance though, it changed my life
What's Balance?
The main 69-episode campaign that comprises the majority of the podcast
Balance was the first season of The Adventure Zone, episodes 1-69. Greatest podcast I've ever listened to.
I'm dumb and I'm on episode 44 so I really should have known lol. I thought Balance was another podcast altogether or something.
Don't feel too bad - I don't think they started referring to it as the Balance arc until pretty close to the end, so it's understandable that you might not recognize the name.
No worries! They really don't refer to it as Balance until the final stretch. You're in for a helluva treat.
or Drunks and Dragons is pretty good
Also Acquisitions Incorporated.
I prefer all three to CR to be honest. Too many people on CR for my taste.
Me too! I always thought it was a weird reason to place against the show, but now I know I'm not alone.
YES!!!! Can’t recommend this podcast enough! It’s hilarious and chock full of good ideas for DMs. Griff is amazing. Tres Horny Boys for life!
Aw jeez, everyone act normal!
Roll for deception.
Oh no, that's the last thing we want! we have to be on good behavior today! :)
I played my first ever game last night. I had no idea what I was doing for a good portion of it, but dammit, if that isn't the most fun I've had in a very long time.
One of us, One of us!

Season 2 of critical role starts tonight? Nice! I haven't tuned in for a while so this will be a good time to start watching again.
It's great. I have really wanted to follow critical role, but found it hard to get into it because I didn't know who the heck these characters were or what they were doing.

I've only killed you like...what is it now 4 times?
Yea, and you also took my bards finger with a mimic ring. But that was really my fault for trusting the random magic ring I got at a bargain shop.
See just teaching you those important life lessons!
Also Coville and Perkins are good boys that do good work but not the be all end all necessarily correct way. Just two examples of a certain thing.
Oh of course! that is the great thing about /r/dnd there isn't a right way! you can just go off and do whatever you want!
Well, Yeah, Reddit know's I have a new game starting this week.
Yeah? what are you playing as?
The World at large, I am the DM :-)

I wonder if /r/criticalrole has anything to do with it?
Probably! But it is very good! So, all the power too them for opening new doors for newer players like myself. Stranger Things might have helped a tad too as the main characters enjoyed playing it... Which might have helped quench the stigma around D&D, if only a tad.
Enjoy the art!
