my new pet peeve in D&D is when there’s one (1) plot-critical magical weapon and the person who’s Aesthetically best to use the weapon is very definitely not the person who’s Mechanically the best to use the weapon

this seems like it would be a niche pet peeve but it’s come up in three (3) games that I’ve played with three (3) different DMs and every time it irks me more because I’m always in the Mechanically Better and not Aesthetically Better camp and therefore never get the weapon

#not zariel’s longsword going to the FUCKING SORCERER #I’m the only strength based melee character in our avernus game 🥲#and I agree 100% with the RP and rationale for our sorcerer getting it #but the DM had to bend the rules for her to even have proficiency in it #I’m just looking on like 🥲🥲🥲 3d10 radiant damage…………#b r u h #the other two examples were nowhere near as cut and dried #but this one hurt lmao #though I WILL say #the finesse bard trying to snipe the sword as well #without even the ‘I am the most morally sound person in this party and should wield the sword’#hmmmm gonna side eye that
