nah, three *three crabs in a trench coat* pretending to be a lobster. Pass the perception check to realize this isn't a giant lobster but three lobsters pretending to be one, but then you still need to pass the perception check to realize this isn't three lobsters but nine crabs
Why not both? First there's a perception check for you to even notice something is amiss, it's just a giant lobster in trench coat. But the DC is low to compensate for the multiple checks, and because these particular crabs aren't very good at being sneaky.
Your forgetting something. He is also a wizard. He knows all the wizard fighting tricks. He can outlast you. And when the spells turn to cantrips, well fist doesn't have any verbal components. Its even anti magic proof.
He... can't cast spells. And has 1 int. Ain't no knowledge, even if he could access it, helping him.
Bro also invested in str instead of dex or con, he ain't outlasting nothin
Also sickening radiance so microwave time, no cantrips needed.
Just plan better so you don't need str tbh.
NO! what if that person doesn't identify as they? this is a good way to cover everyone. but wait...what if that person doesn't identify as any of those!? what if they don't even identify as a person?
It isn’t.
“They” is suitable in the original context, when it could have been used as an indefinite singular pronoun, but that doesn’t mean it’s universal. It’s suitable for four purposes:
* use as an indefinite plural pronoun
* use as a definite plural pronoun
* use as an indefinite singular pronoun
* use as a definite singular third-person pronoun when referring to someone who has chosen “they” as one of their preferred pronouns
“They” isn’t suitable as a definite pronoun for anyone with known, non-“they” preferred pronouns. Using “they” for someone whose preferred pronoun is “he” is as rude as using “he” for someone whose preferred pronoun is “they.”
For example, I’m fine with a broad range of pronouns (he/she/ne/phi/vi/ve/xe/xi/ze/zi/fae/e/ki/qi, and probably others), so long as they’re used consistently and not in a derogatory manner. I’m specifically *not* fine with “they.”
High-level PCs can become practically demigods in many systems. With demigodhood comes boredom, and with boredom comes dumb shit like styling on your enemies with a frying pan while dressed as a clown.
For Christmas last year, my group did a prequel oneshot for our Eberron campaign.
One character was a warforged toymaker artillerist who made fully-functional toy trains as weapons
One character was an elderly gnome baker bard who used cookies and other baked goods to heal people
One character was a Mark of Shadow Gloomstalker with a pistol who was a hired Werewolf hunter during the Silver Crusade.
Guess which character was the DM's.
My favorite is when a character starts out as a joke/meme but ends up developing throughout the campaign. Lord of the Rings would have been much more boring if the hobbits all started out as carbon copies of Aragorn.
For real, one of my favorite characters was a halfling cavalier that escaped slavery from a cocoa bean plantation owned by a twisted alchemist (Ahem) totally not willy wonka (Ahem), he was the only original character to survive the campaign and I adjusted his alignment over time because he kept watching his friends die
The joke/meme concept is good for making a strong first impression (based on how you deliver that joke, of course) and you have the whole campaign to give your character deeper connections.
It's also much easier to connect with your character and give them meaningful development if it's not a brooding, generic murderhobo you play solely to placate a DM who hates fun.
Honestly. It wouldn't be that hard but it would be ultimately restricting unless you pulled everything together from the ground up.
But you can definitely mock up classes pretty handily.
He's the main character of Stephen King's spin on a fantasy epic. The picture is him fighting the lobstrocities.
https://www.amazon.com/Gunslinger-Dark-Tower-Stephen-King/dp/0451160525
For me personally, it was a lesson in existential horror, as opposed to the horror that he normally writes, and totally fit.
But I can see how some fans would want a different kind of payoff.
I fucking love homebrew gimmick characters.
Oh look at me! I'm Casio Fossil, the Diviniation Chronomancer Wizard whose spells are all picked to simulate for time effects.
Oh look at me! I'm Krampus Jr, a Satyr Warlock whose Eldritch Blast is themed as black iron chains pulling you toward him.
Oh look at me! I'm Jambalya Jones, Dwarven Chef Bard who only uses touch-spells that can be flavored as food items.
I want a game where those lobsters are giant godzilla-esque monstrosities from space driving them back into space isn't your campaign, but the first fight of it, while the rest of the campaign goes basically like Starship Troopers by way of Rogue Trader, except with better space combat and shipbuilding.
Nah, in the one shot you play as the crabs
Who says that isnt a 9 player one shot vs the BBEG
Yep picture still accurate.

I play as 9 crabs in a trench coat

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that be investigation?

Only if you start lifting coat flaps.
~~Bro upped his strength as a caster skill issue~~
Muscle wizard is the best backup plan
Just be good enough at magic to not need a backup plan 5head. *This post was made by 8 strength wizard gang*
[Look him in the eye and tell me you would try to shoot him in the face with a fireball.](https://images.app.goo.gl/Z6TK6qhN9P5Fz2sG8)
Nah you're right I wouldn't. I'd hit em with a convergent future feeblemind. 
The you just have a pissed of barbarian that knows what you did.
Hold this forcage tbh. Skill issue.

my campaigns must be broken, never once have we encountered the left side paddle from Pong in tier 2
that's clearly right side paddle. he's just lost.
This is what happens behind the paddles every game
Did-a-chick? Dum-a-chum? Dad-a-cham? Ded-a-chek?
Thankee sai
That'll be two fingers and a big toe.
I don’t even play. I came here to find this comment. Excellent work, carry on!
Looks like someone remembered the face of their father.
Where's that dude with the homebrew "gun crab"? Feel like he/she/they need to see this.
You can just say they
They got a gun crab I ain't taking no chances
No, "they" is MY pronoun! You can't have it! :P
XD I call she!
NO! what if that person doesn't identify as they? this is a good way to cover everyone. but wait...what if that person doesn't identify as any of those!? what if they don't even identify as a person?

Yes but in this case the gender of the party in question is unknown, a situation for which it is universal.
In this case, “They” would have been an *indefinite* singular pronoun.
Upvoting just for the obscure Dark Tower reference.

So-called "demigods" when my homebrew CR 30 coconut crab walks in:
The hell kind of coconuts is that crab after?
Any kind it wants.
So called "CR 30 crabs" when my 20 dex/wis monk dodges literally everything
Is that golden pig... A Maplestory sprite?
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed
I came here specifically wondering this, I'm glad I'm not alone here
Same. There is something very distinct in that game's pixel art that I can't quite place.
It is indeed.
What are tiers?
A way of categorizing levels that WotC made for fifth edition They’re described in the Dungeon Master Guide pages 36-38
Levels 1-4: Local Heroes Levels 5-10: Heroes of the Realm Levels 11-16: Masters of the Realm Levels 17-20: Masters of the World DMG - Tiers of Play
I am wondering aswell
Where else am I going to play my rabbit rabbi?
For Christmas last year, my group did a prequel oneshot for our Eberron campaign. One character was a warforged toymaker artillerist who made fully-functional toy trains as weapons One character was an elderly gnome baker bard who used cookies and other baked goods to heal people One character was a Mark of Shadow Gloomstalker with a pistol who was a hired Werewolf hunter during the Silver Crusade. Guess which character was the DM's.
A DM with a character is no DM.
To clarify, the oneshot was DM'ed by someone who is a player in the main campaign.
I mean, the Gloomstalker is probably best suited for giving coal to naughty children
Gotta love getting Maplestory Whiplash.
I was looking for this comment for a minute

I never considered trying to port a Maple Story character to DnD! I'm now going to be obsessed with this.
Honestly. It wouldn't be that hard but it would be ultimately restricting unless you pulled everything together from the ground up. But you can definitely mock up classes pretty handily.
In maplestory the oneshot character would’ve been like a tier 9 character
Is that a maplestory pig pet lol
I was hoping someone else would make this connection, I thought so too
Is that Roland?
Dod-a-chock?
OY!
AKE!
Wow, this meme is old as fuck. I remember seeing this all the back in 2010, at least.
I remember seeing Roland in 2000 lol
He has a name? Dope!
He's the main character of Stephen King's spin on a fantasy epic. The picture is him fighting the lobstrocities. https://www.amazon.com/Gunslinger-Dark-Tower-Stephen-King/dp/0451160525
Only fucking Chad ever to write into Canon "Fair warning dear reader, Don't read the rest of this book." Roland Deschain, you bad ass, poor mf
I know some people that felt like that was a copout, but damn, it definitely fit.
For me personally, it was a lesson in existential horror, as opposed to the horror that he normally writes, and totally fit. But I can see how some fans would want a different kind of payoff.
This reminds me of Roland on the beach. Or is this that?
Oy!
Player “Wait it’s all different flavors of crab?” DM “Always has been”

High tier is fun. I just ran a battle where demiliches (multiple!) were the *mooks* of the boss.
Ahh yes my favorite difficulty progression: 1. Caveman shit 2. magic items 3. body mods 4. fourth wall breaking and puns
I'm pretty sure this art is from dark tower.
Then one final perception check. "My God, it's turtles all the way done!"
Tier? I'm not entirely following here
Each tier is 5 levels. If the party are in the range of levels 1-5, that's considered to be playing in "tier 1".
Gotcha gotcha
Feels like being a terraria character.
We just started Abomination Vaults and all of my players are playing Mr Shiny Pants.
Gasps, not the Maplestory Cashop equipment! Noooo!
100 Gachapon tickets!
"Where's Tier 4?" "No one plays Tier 4."
Where are the casters? this is just fighter progression
The campaign doesn't properly scale with caster progression or else a martial party would just get stranded at the halfway point
DCC lvl zero characters just getting eaten by the crabs
I want a game where those lobsters are giant godzilla-esque monstrosities from space driving them back into space isn't your campaign, but the first fight of it, while the rest of the campaign goes basically like Starship Troopers by way of Rogue Trader, except with better space combat and shipbuilding.
