Dunce in Dungeon is my new short story comic series about a cute but stupid party of adventurers that combined together form one brain cell. In the series I will try to illustrate adventures of our group, encounters with enemies, traps, expressions of pure stupid. I already fell in love with writing them, so let me know what you think, and what are some tropes and adventures that faced you, so I can illustrated them as well :) This one is a metaphorical and literal entrance to the comic.

I mean basically just the title but I’ll expand upon it here. Whether it’s one of the DnD subreddits or in real life I always comes across players who prefer to roll for stats, claiming they like the randomness, but then want a bunch of stipulations in place that undermine or destroy said randomness. Players understand that rolling for stats typically leads to better stats than standard array or point buy so they choose rolling in hope they’ll be part of that typically. But what happens when that doesn’t happen? What happens when actual randomness happens? Almost every group out there seems to do something about it, getting rid of the randomness they cite. The ones below I see the most frequently.

1 -having players reroll one or two of their stats is the most common tactic you’ll see, and most people have their own standards for it. I once had a DM who allowed players to reroll any negative stat regardless of what your other stats were. But like, how actually random is that? There are certain actions taken when certain numbers show up and not taken when others show up? That’s guaranteeing better stats, the opposite of random.

2 - player just takes standard array or point buy if the stats they rolled are lower than them. Why not have just take standard array or point buy from the beginning? If you want randomness, why aren’t you using the randomness? Having a set minimum of stats for players to have but then also giving them the ability to roll for better stats undermines the whole point of rolling for stats. Some people claim that it’s not fair for those who rolled poorly, but to them I ask, why did you choose the one stat method that is explicitly unfair?

3 - all players roll their own stat array, and then anyone can choose anyone else’s array to use instead of the one they rolled their own. At the risk of sounding like just some grump, though I’m sure I already do, this one drives me insane. The more players there are the more egregious this method becomes. In large groups there’s almost always someone rolls ridiculously strong stats. And then anyone can pick any array? Gee, I wonder which array the players will pick…so random.

Really, these people just want to have better stats. When I see all these rules in place to get of the randomness from randomly rolling for stats I can’t help but think of people who use the bumpers when bowling. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with wanting the better stats, I give my players a stronger version of point buy for this exact reason. Coincidentally, the players who claim they want the randomness from rolling suddenly don’t care about it that much once they see the buff to point buy. I would take the people within the DnD community who want the randomness of rolling stats but then have all these stipulations in place quite a bit more seriously if they were just simply honest about what they actually want - better stats.

What's the point? 80% of the rules are about combat and fighting. If you dont like it, why simply not play diffrent system? i constantly bumb into people who say they like the game but dont like fights and mostly roleplay. Why wont they simply try something like FATE or other system thats focused on the narrative end? Sure you can avoid fights completly but its like using a tool against its intended purpose.

Just wrapped up this commission of Vivi, an Aasimar Rune Smith, featuring both her full combat armor and under-armor look. Huge thanks to my client for trusting me with their amazing character! The glowing eye trails, hammer design, and winged shield were all their fantastic ideas. Her Aasimar heritage is shown through her radiant halo and glowing eyes rather than physical wings.

I'm currently open for commissions feel free to DM me if you're interested. Thanks for looking!

"We're on a mission from God."

Ultimately, what separates a Cleric from a Warlock: Celestial? Well we know a Cleric is a true believer empowered by their deity. If their god hates peas, they avoid peas.

But what is a "Celestial" Warlock? Warlocks are characters empowered by some kind of patron or sponsor, usually a fiend. "Sign this contract for Eldritch Blast. Do me favors when I call upon you. If you don't, I will make you regret it."

The Blues Brothers is a movie about two ne'er-do-wells who go get given a mission from God to save an orphanage. Despite being in service of God, they are clearly are not reformed men who turn from their old ways. They unapologetically lie, cheat, and steal. Even in the beginning of the film, Jake seems opposed to going straight or even helping at all until God directly calls upon him. The two brothers then go on their journey to save the orphanage, believing it to be a mission given to them from God, and from then on nothing can stop them.

But they are still at their core not changed by their deity. In D&D terms, the New Testament God would probably be given a Lawful Good alignment. But Elwood still steals from work. Jake lies to his ex. Not to mention all the cheating and stealing they do and the destruction they cause during the movie. This is not righteous indignation, like Jesus doing miracles on the Sabbath, or kicking over the tables in the temple. They break the law and hurt others without regret. But they also somehow walk away from so many car accidents and explosions completely unscathed because God wants them to save the orphanage. However, by the end of the film, they wind up back in prison because of the devastation they caused. Their agreement with God was completed so they no longer had divine protection, and it could also be seen as divine retribution for fulfilling the contract with God with so many unsavory methods.

Overall, I think this is actually great example of a Warlock: Celestial. Divine power, divine mission, but you are still just a guy doing a job and not necessarily someone living according to your deity's standards and practices.

I have the lucky feat. In 5.5e I have to use it before the attack is rolled to impose advantage or disadvantage. Sure, that's fine. But my DM will frequently roll before telling me I'm being attacked, and when I try to say I want to use a luck point they point out the RAW. This happens multiple times per session sometimes consecutively. We do theater of the mind and it's gotten to the point where I am watching his eyes and if he looks at me and reaches for dice I interrupt to say "If they attack me I want to use a luck point"

Is this normal?

Basically just removes currency from rotation improving the value of goods from doing so. It's the exact opposite of printing money because value has to be discovered by alternative means. Just a thought.

Here's a bunch of art I've made while DMing Lost Mine of Phandelver. It's just a mix of what we've encountered so far as I've run it. All the art is black and white as I was printing everything at home and presenting it in person as we played. I'll hopefully do more as we play more!
