My DM runs a homebrew campaign. I joined the group for this campaign but the nat 1 system he uses makes me dislike my character.

Here are some examples:

Roll nat 1 in combat - you automatically hit an ally instead.

Roll nat 1 on intimidation - you scare yourself instead so much so that you pee yourself and slip in your own urine hit your head and take 6 damage.

Roll nat 1 on perception - you get dust in your eyes take 4 damage and have disadvantage on all perception checks until rest.

Roll nat 1 on a save - you take double the damage.

I really like the other players and love to play with them, they were very welcoming even when i was new to the group. But the DM is rubbing me a bit the wrong way. I can handle the scarcity of magic items and the underwhelming power of our characters compared to the monsters. But it seems like it is the DM versus the players and all about making the player characters the butt of the joke, where i was hoping for a heroic adventure. Would it be unreasonable to quit over this? The others seems fine with it, at least they dont say anything. I'm just the new person.

Edit: After reading your replies i decided to quit effective immediately as most confirmed that i was not just imagining that these were dumb rules. Since my DM is a man and significantly older than me and don't have a decent view on womens opinions i decided to do so as quietly as possible.

I sent him a message explaining that i did not find myself right for his campaign. Wished him luck and texted the other members saying that i quit and would love to hang out and just chat or play some board games if any of them wanted.

I will be looking for another group, and do more research on what rules they use before joining.

Thank you for the replies, some of you at lightning speed.

The story hook is this:

Lord Esitar of Paramat, in his waning health and gradual fall into delirium, needs a group of highly "skilled" caretakers to look after his teenaged niece, Asia. Asia is a cynical hard head, quick to fall into tantrums, but extremely gifted in all things magic and could manipulate the world around her as she sees fit. Servants before have tried and failed to properly attend to her needs, citing her abilities as an EXTREME danger to others.

Lord Esitar now promises a reward of 100,000 gp to any group of caretakers who can safely escort Asia to meet her mother at the holy city of Yeshurat without delay. Though he is vague on why he stresses that Asia must be kept safe during travel, interest amongst the public arose as the prospect of money in exchange was very enticing.

Character concept: Female Drow witch raised by Dwarves.

Yura Xorlarrin / Yura Roundshield. The first is the name of her Drow house, or Dark Elf house, while the second is the surname she later adopted.

Yura grew up in Menzoberranzan, the underground capital of the Drow. House Xorlarrin is known for producing powerful mages, but Yura was unable to use any kind of magic while growing up. Because of this, she was eventually abandoned on the outskirts of the city.

She was found by a group of Dwarven scouts led by Reginald Roundshield, who captured and interrogated her. When Reginald realized that she was just a child, he refused to execute her, as Dwarves normally do with Drow, and decided to take responsibility for her instead.

Several decades passed, and over time, Yura became integrated into Dwarven culture. During this period, Reginald officially adopted her as a member of Clan Roundshield.

Yura became a scout like Reginald, and during one of her expeditions, she found herself alone with the lich Acererak. She managed to bargain for her life and eventually became a witch bound to Acererak.

When Reginald learned what had happened, he crafted a set of armor specifically for her, hoping it would help her during her adventures in Acererak's service.

Kinda like the title says. My PC's will soon face a serious boss, whom they know is a competency caster. I'm contemplating whether to include counterspell in the kit. Team consists of a monk, cleric and sorcerer. Opinions?

The Context: I’m playing in a long-running campaign where the DM explicitly allows PvP. One of the players is running a Chaotic Evil Wizard. We’ve already had a major red flag with him: we were trying to send evidence of demons to a Paladin order, and the Wizard flat-out attacked us because he wanted to keep the evidence for himself. We handled it in-game and supposedly resolved the issue.

The Incident: Fast forward to our last session. We were fighting a very powerful enemy, and four of our party members were engaged in melee with it. The Wizard decided to drop a fireball right on top of the boss, hitting all four of our melee fighters. The DM allowed it, and everyone took the damage. Because of that friendly fire, two of those characters ended up dying during the combat.

The DM's Stance: The DM says that pvp is allowed and we need to solve it in-game.

My Question: Before anyone suggests it: leaving the group is not an option I am looking for right now. I want to handle this exactly how the DM requested—within the narrative.

Given the circumstances, how would your characters naturally react? Would it be going too far if the surviving characters immediately attack the Wizard or forcefully expel him from the party? It feels completely illogical for our characters to continue trusting or traveling with someone who just got half the team killed for convenience, but I want to know if going full PvP retaliation is a justified in-game response here. How would you play this out?

EDIT for clarification: the DM is a first time DM and all the players except me are playing their first long campaign

Exactly the question. In a world where resurrection magic exists for the players, how do you make death mean anything. If players die two encounters in a row, does their death carry the same narrative weight anymore? Does anyone need to bother crying when the cleric can just bring them back?

How have you or your DM’s managed to address this problem? Removing resurrection magic? Making the campaign more lethal? Less lethal? I’m genuinely interested because I don’t think there’s a single right answer.

The martial/caster divide is a long and hotly debated topic among the community, one I’ve seen discussed here many times. Of course I have my own thoughts and opinions regarding the matter, but at least in the main body of this post, I’m not here to share them.

That being said, something that could be seen as highly relevant to this debate occurred to me today: I don’t think I have ever witnessed or played in a campaign where the BBEG wasn’t either a powerful mage, or some sort of creature with strong innate powers tied to magic in some significant way. What’s been your experience regarding this?
