#Fifth Edition

[cloudycleric]

hi

i made a short sweet guide about playing D&D since i feel like the player handbook can be confusing for new players. this was mainly made for my fellow bylers lololol . it kind of is a guide on how to use the book as well as what to know to prepare you for your first D&D session.

you can find it here:)

how did jerk!ford seduce bud gleeful in the first place?1!?!1?

The cheating was the straw that broke the camels back. Mrs. Gleeful and Buds marriage was already on the rocks because Bud enabled Gideon which underminded her attempts at stricter parenting and made her look like the bad guy to their out of control son who was already displaying an entitled attitude towards women at a young age.

Jerk Ford has really high charisma he just uses it to annoy and enrage people, and be the worst person in the room instead of the best.

He can use it to be charming, but he never does for good reasons (like in this case).

Jerk Ford's uses the DnD version of Charisma so lets go over what his stats might look like in the DnD 5th Edition sense:

Stats:

Abilities:

Skills:

Before someone tries to tell me that Jerk Ford can't be a Bard I'm just gonna throw in there that canonically Ford is really good at the Piano.

And no, Jerk Ford would not get Bud drunk. Just because he's a jerk doesn't mean he doesn't know or believe in consent, he's not evil.

Stan tried telling Bud he should try to get Gideons entitled and incel-like behaviour under control or else it would be more of a problem in the future.

Bud didn't, and because of his inaction Jerk Ford has ruined his business, rearranged his guts, convinced his wife finally leave his *ss, beat him to the point of hospitalization, and now being around either of the Stan twins makes him feel a weird sense of being scared but also aroused.

Buds gonna crack down on Gideon after Weirdmageddon (This would reconcile him and his wife).

Bad Moon by Gary Leach

So, I have decided to spend a long sleepless night creating a personality quiz based on the factions of Sigil in d&d's planescape setting!

(The sleeplessness was unrelated. mostly.)

Indulge my mental illness and feel free to let me know what result you got!

CALLING ALL D&D PLAYERS AND DUNGEON MASTERS

Are you having trouble scheduling a dnd session? Do you want to let loose in a way your DM won't allow? Have you imagined yourself trapped in a hole? Do you want to play dnd, but have no one to play with?

I'm prototyping a FREE solo-focused Dungeons & Dragons supplement right now, and would hugely appreciate if you would check it out!

(Because it's just a prototype, the page requires the password fathoms to access)

I think home brewing spells in dnd is really fun, but something I don’t see a lot at other tables!! It’s kind of a right of passage at the table I play at to do so and it’s been really fun! So here’s the list so far!

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the spell’s affect for the next 24 hours.

As an action on your next turn you can make a ranged spell attack which does the amount of damage it would have done to you. If the magic is not released in your turn it dissipates into the atmosphere.

Mildly unhinged D&D NPC idea

A formerly Chaotic Evil beholder, who was affected by a Helm Of Opposite Alignment (or maybe the Balance card from a Deck Of Many More Things) and thus became Lawful Good, eventually taking vows as a paladin of Ilmater under the Oath of Devotion

(This would be a hilarious deus-ex-machina/big damn heroes to drop on an unsuspecting party! XD Especially if one or more of them were also sworn to Ilmater, hehehehe :D)

(Not sure how a beholder would work as a player character -- could get a bit OP -- but that's an option too, for sufficiently creative players and DMs ^^)

(A beholder paladin would have to change 'Lay On Hands' to 'Lay On Eyestalk' -- not sure how the Smite spells would work, though, since beholders can't hold swords...)
