There's only one trait that every dnd character *needs* to have: they need to want to be in/work with a party
I like the idea of being the familiar of an NPC in the party. IE forced to go along with the crazy things your NPC wants to do b/c. Could be fun. Could be bad.
I am from the Vampire: the Mascarede, and all I can say is: Buy fucking Commom Sense.
What Commom Sense do?
The DM warns you whenever you are acting dumb, and may be punished for it (like trash talking your own body guard, and them, trying to stab him).
They were annoyed by blah blah. Well the solution is to F***ING communicate what is bothering you. Cant fix it if its not brought up.
I am literally the best player to play to play d&d with i'll listen to the dm help fellow player and totally not be a rude person
YES YES AND MORE YES. It pisses me off when people make "loner" characters that hate the party, treating them like garbage, and always try to split from the party.
My first DnD character was a wood elf ranger that hated orcs after being tortured by a raiding party for weeks years before he met the party. We had a half orc player in the group, and my character was anything but kind to him. Plenty of times he saw him in trouble, and just turned his back on him. Over time my character began to see the half orc as an ally, and they became good friends. I spoke to the half orc player in advance btw. He was absolutely down for it since it gave us a lot of RP to work with.
^^^^^
This is how you should handle it.
THIS.
If it's not established in session zero then this sort of group behavior is completely unacceptable.
@@nomnomgoblin8901 Absolutely this
And here's the difference between character conflict devolving into pvp madness or enriching a campaign and leading to the entire goal of DnD; a good STORY.
I dont know. Someone did the same to me, I said "okay" but didn't like it at all......
"No magic! Magic Bad!"
*literally calls upon Warlock's Cthulu daddy powers to fight another player for being druid.*
F'king hypocrite!
@@juliagoodwin9510 ik right. fun fact my druid is a special spieces of dragon(there called manaketes) and i got in this kind of issue.
guess what happened in end
summon plus dragon form.
@@juliagoodwin9510 Yes, especially since Warlocks are the closest thing DnD gets to witches anyway.
Idk. This campaign sounds intriguing. They could be doing a story in which all of them are evil and doing cthuluts bidding and they dont trust any magic that isnt from their dark god. Or at least thats how I want to see it
@@ACE_CMH Everyone hopes there's a method to the madness. Some are disappointed.
"Oh, we will burn arcane casters at the stake."
THE WARLOCK IS LITERALLY MAKING A CHILD A CULTIST OF CTHULU!!!
I hate hypocrites. Anyone else?
@@juliagoodwin9510 Amen
Warlock: "Cthulu is an old god, so technically I'm a divine caster."
Witch burning masses: "Well, none of us have any ranks in Religion, and Intelligence is our dump stat, so we believe you."
Warlock: "Excellent."
@@juliagoodwin9510 same here. and i think i may have gotten a few ideas for a story i am working on.
"Oooh, look magic!"
I can only imagine the shit eating grin on that druid's face.
With Ketup on it.
“Ooh magic... summons 16 giant poisonous snakes”
I freaking love druids
He should have used Heat Metal on the Fighter before Shaping and dipping underground.
Bake and bail.
@@Lrbearclaw "cook and book"
@@Lrbearclaw The real reason druids avoid using metal is so that you can't turn their tricks against them.
Imagine a Shepherd Druid summoning a shitton of magical velociraptors and then wildshaping into one aswell
Damn pointy ears elves, they need to learn that anyone can break there arms- post made by dwarf gang
Elgi wazzocks, amirite?
Elves love having their arms broken. That's why they are always trying to provoke everyone.
They will try to deny this however while asking me in private "How dare you reveal our secret?"
@@rachdarastrix5251 Bruh, that's one kinky fetish.... >, >
..... playing a grey dwarf am i part of dwarf gang or am i just stuck with underdark gang?
@@vnrob8628 you have dwarf in the name, so you are dwarf
heard a story from a friend about a party of elves shamelessly flirting with the half orc, the orc's player was going for a edgy backstory of how his tribe was killed and he must grow in strength to avenge them and others tribes therefore had no time for socializing or romance! the other players/elves took this as a challenge so they would complement ever great feat of strength he did, would get into mock fights on who get to cast lay on hands when he got hurt, come up hair brain schemes to get him to notice them and so on, the DM would get on this action by having festivals, hot springs, returning rival groups and villains all them one way or another flirting or trying to spend time with the halve orc much to the cattiness of the elves. The half orc player would blush and laugh though it all while trying to play the orc great game :)
That sounds like a strange but fun time.
If everyone is on board and not uncomfortable, that does sound entertaining.
I swear that feels like a harem anime just waiting to happen.
As someone playing a half elf in used to the racism from elves. They think of my character as a elf wannabe and they call me half human instead of half elf
Haha half human .
I did Half Drow, though being in Waterdeep (having Skullport and Surface Drow community) and an Eilistraee worshipper meant that she didn't get flak alot.
And the Drows she met being exile, outcast, and mercenaries meant that they empathized with her.
Except his granny who sidelined her dad and town guards who only back-off due to Noble background (her human side of family is rich, but her Drow-mom came from a mushroom farming family and ran away to the surface due to a war).
Omia mo shindu
Pretty much fits most lore on half elves; humans think of them as elves, elves think of them as humans.
Orcs are way better because they accept Half-Orcs as their kind.
When he said "ooh look magic" I'm thinking tyrion lannister wiggling his fingers, eyes a lil wide and lips in a silly pursed manner
Roleplay to the max
How was the Druid less of a Witch then the arcane casting Warlock?
You had to read the fine print in the 'How to Burn Witches' handbook they handed out. In the prologue where it says "And lo, but thou shall apply these tests to all, and burn ye all who fail them WITHOUT MERCY... Except Winona Ryder, who is cool with us and can cast Eldritch Blast as many times as they want as a reaction to basically anything, including the last time they cast Eldritch Blast. Also, totally let your kids drink whatever Winona offers them. Again, totally cool."
If the players weren't raging idiots, then it might have been an interesting PvP adventure hook. Imagine: the warlock has enchanted a couple of witch-hunters to serve him thinking they were protecting the world from evil magic, but really he is using them to clear out any mage capable of stopping his dastardly plans while providing a perfect cover for when he encounters other witch hunters (so long as they don't witness his magic). The magical thrall angle fits a Great Old One warlock pretty well
@@youroldman8129 If that were the case, that would be pretty cool. Sadly, I think we all know it wasn't the case.
from the sounds of it, i'd say these guys were just looking for another player to bully and abuse. they probably know each other very well and are like minded friends, as evidenced by the tolerance of homophobic slurs. nobody objects or anything, just a silent tolerance which might as well be an agreement.
OP did himself a favor to just drop out without another word.
Never trust the knife ears.
-dwarf gang
OK am I the only one who thinks that "knife ears" sounds vicious and funny as the same time? 😂
An orc, an elf and a dwarf walk into a bar. The elf is promptly kicked out and everyone else had a great night of drinking! THE END.
I'm personality a human supremacist myself.
Love me ale,
Love me forge,
Love me axe,
Ate me giants,
Ate me grudges,
Ate me knife ears,
Simple as
“Had a party turn on me just Bc I was a dhampire. like come on guys we don’t all brutally kill,charm,and suck everyones blood....Just some peoples”
Just the ones who really piss you off?
i played a full vamp sorc who fun fact instead of evil piece of crap is actually a decent person and isnt a edgelord. i got in a fight cause of this and i proceed to oblerate them.
you never mess with a vampire especially this one
@@lolbots686 same I’m playing a nice dhampire (flavored as vampire) blood hunter rn
@@floofyproofy9374 funny thing i actualy played a werewolf bloodhunter what are the odds
@@lolbots686 I did too!!
..i legit made an elf raised by an orc and dwarf black smithing village..when he met elves who didn't live with other races...and one elf insulted his gnome best friend and his half orc brother who he was raised with...ans then was told to keep them in check...my character laughed and right hooked him with a nat 20 and i broke his jaw...my elf became the uncle ruckes to elves 😂😂
I'm in the works of making a human paladin who has a soft spot for orcs. Originally, he was originally a street orphan. After his village was wiped out by bandits, and he was left behind by the few survivors, he was taken in by an orc raiding band. It wasn't an easy life, being a human among orcs, but they were willing to give him something no man had before. A chance to be something.
I'd like to start us off with a little song. I like to call it "Don't Trust Those Drow Over There."
I once played a cleric who took to their god after orcs raided their village and killed everyone. There was a half orc in the party. I was incredibly nice to him, after all he too was a victim of orcs. He was born with that accursed skin because of the horrid acts of orcs before his birth, how pitiable!
Could also be a intresting arc to overcome such a trauma.
He sounds anti-black, according to WotC
“…was my Barbarian, a classic Half-Orc Outlander with a *big axe.”*
_Shows Half-Orc in the cover art with a small axe instead_
That axe is Inactive. It will grow bigger when combat starts.
That axe needs to get "turned on"
@@theeye8276 it’s wood needs to get harder
@@SapphireBlue117 no. Bad.
@@wyattlohr8199 and a lot longer
9:20 ignoring the content of the insult druids are the coolest class and a druid party raiding a town is pure horror
Yes. Druids can either be a blessing or your worst nightmare.
Druids are literally the best magic class, don't @ me. Amazing spells, wildshape and some of the most interesting subclasses in the game with the Wildfire, Spores and Stars circles.
@@themoonlitspice325 not to mention land druids are the only set up without multiclassing in the game that let you heal and regain spell slots on a short rest
Nothing to see here but Druid cope posting. Moving along.
Druids have access to two of my three favorite spells, those being reincarnate and awaken.
I'll roleplay with you with no problem. I've done many drow elf rogues, as well as elven or half elven characters, and none of them have been snooty save for when background demanded it. I always made sure people were ok afterwards.
Heck my last 2 elves were polar opposites of each other and they still didn't fall into the snobby elf category. Etienne was a fun loving arcane archer with a corgi and loved to prank his friends but was extremely loyal to them. Rhanahann on the other hand is a monk who takes no crap from anyone and will gladly feed someone their own eyeballs if someone gets in the way of her bounty collecting.
We hand players in the game acting like that in real life.
It kind of doesn't make sense why half orcs get relentless endurance but orcs dont
It really doesn't. Huh.
To differentiate them as races I guess
Or think of it like this, mixed dog breeds are generally healthier than purebreds
Orcs are mass produced. Half orcs are done with time taken to build them with full quality.
Orcish genetics, half-Orcs also live longer. Orcs genetics with orgres, are also weird. Orc/trolls also mutant less.
Evidence that the half-breeds are more superior
It's the human blood, really; humans are tenacious, stubborn, and universally accepted as the _Hold-my-Beer_ species of the universe.
I honestly feel for OP in the second story. Finding a campaign is tough. Finding one that isn't a shitfest is tougher.
One reason I only play with family.
I definitely can relate to the second story in this video.
1 - It is definitely hard to join in on a group that is already establish and know each other.
2 - I definitely was on the butt end of the torment of some such groups in the past...
3 - Agreement in that such groups no doubt look for new players to simply torment them and make them easy exp or item grabs.
Moon Elf Necromancer here. I'd like to apologize to the Orc Gang on behalf of my race.
Orc Barbarian here. You specifically are forgiven.
Paladin here, SMITE!
@@DrMDHyde Unless your god is Bane or something, I doubt they'd let your smite work against a Lawful Good, upstanding citizen of Waterdeep such as myself. Also, by the order of the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors and the authority of Blackstaff Vajra Safar, I hereby place you under arrest for assaulting an officer!
@@darkherculeskabuterimon7203 I thank you, sir. Hopefully we can push through some legislation in Waterdeep to get some reparations for your people.
Wood elf drunken master monk here; who wants ale?
*Cleaves elf in two over argument started by silky cloths."
Ron Burgundy: "Well that escalated quickly."
"we do things differently here"
uhuh, you mean like let the warlock get away with doing shit they shouldn't be and deciding that an optimized player shouldn't knock the other assholes down a peg, gotcha
shit like that is irritating especially with a warlock who thinks their hot shit, you straight up kill em and they think "i don't get it, i fired eldritch blast and everything"
That second story.... where do you find these people anyway? Makes me want to drop a Davy Crockett on their story.... or mock them in a short quest.
"We do things a bit differently" typical quote of a DM with a broken game...
Honestly, the moment the one guy mentioned he was playing a warlock, I would have called out "WITCH!"
The nine dislikes are from the people who were featured in this story. lol
Oh my gosh, I would've totally rolled with the RNGeezus results. It would be so touching, playing an elf or half-elf that thinks he's so smug and better than everyone... then walking through a pond full of leeches or realizing he had led the group in the wrong direction because he had the map upside down or some other hilarious blunder that would have had him stammering an apology to the half-orc because he now realized what exactly the "simple half-beast" was part of the group for. Then having them bond, with the half-orc being able to not blow off whatever the elf said while the elf would learn that *just* maybe... non-elves weren't as simple as he had been raised to believe.
The "racist elf mage elitist who have to rely on a half-orc barbarian guide"-scenario could be a pretty cool concept and a good alternative way to have a party meet
That’s true if it’s done right it
the story would depend on the players working together to help
there characters overcome there differences
if not done right it ruins the experience for half the group.
It's one thing when character animosity/history has been brought up, like when you have an elf and an orc in the same party, who don't exactly get along, but at some point, you need to do a bit of metagaming and at least have the pair work well enough together to not kill one another. I mean, the Monstrous Adventurers section in Volo's gives examples why - common foe, owe a debt, under orders, hired for a job, and so on.
I mean, in a campaign I played, I was a Yuan-Ti Paladin and my mother played a Feral Tiefling Ranger, and the two of us were hired muscle for a Fire Genasi Wizard, a Water Genasi Storm Sorcerer, and an Aarakocra dex-based Life Domain Cleric. We then later picked up a Mountain Dwarf Moon Druid.
The first story is just odd, not really enough information imo to really make a judgment on the players (but communication IS important) outside of attacking the half orc. The second one boils me. Houserules should be laid out for all to see and the Warlock being treated better than the Druid sounds like favoritism. Once again, communication is important, though it sounds to me like the players had already unanimously decided they didn't want the Druid in their party.
Yeah... Sounded like another story with a drow elf rogue going neutral good and the party full lawful stupid background agaisnt drow, black magic and nonsense... In tye case of this video, the DM was slighty agaistn the druid (or he was on his friends side)
If you're RPing, it's one thing, but don't be an actual jerk in real life. And, always check with the group if they're ok with dealing with your character both before and after the first session, and sporadically as the campaign progresses.
lmao if I were that druid and i saw that.
Me: "My druid leaves this party of idiots"
DM: "You have to roll-"
Me: "Okay here is my roll." *Leaves the server*
Ah yes, the classic "this world hates magic users" game. It can only ever end well
I think the party with Winona Rider needs a history lesson the which test was to throw them into a body of water.
Unless I misremeber part of the 'test' involves weighing you down wither with rlockes or some sort of cage that prevents you from floating, this means your almost guaranteed to drown, and if you somehow survive well they get to execute you because "only a witch would live through that."
@@dillon2130 The perfect test for a witch
So do they weigh the same as a duck?
The group could have role played that as a funny scene, like dunk his head in holy water, if he's a witch he'll melt.
@@ErichZornerzfun in a GOOD group that could have been funny, but this was clearly not the case. Though if I wanted to make it funny I'd use a bucket of water and bless an apple.
Everyone needs to be made aware of rule changes and wild card scenarios, otherwise "we do things a bit differently" merely means you don't know what you're doing.
this right here is what occurs to me a lot in my dnd sessions, its so bs when I play and expect dnd but get ass blasted with unknown homebrew that completely irrelevantizes my character due to *bullshit rule change here*
It is usually cover for a loosely run and biased game being touted as something that it is not. Just like all the DMs who hide behind imaginary rules claiming they allow them to do whatever they want when they want in "their" game.
I freaking DESPISE assholes that expect you to read their minds... if you don't speak up and say "This is bothering me and this is why" or even "This is bothering me and this is what I'd like to change" I have zero reasons to assume anything needs to change.
My trickster cleric goblin Mordecai was kicked out of his tribe for being considered a freak (by goblin terms he was basically an Einstein). He left the village and his first encounter with the outside world was almost getting eaten by a starved deserting soldier named Reuben. He had a rather in-depth conversation with his captor who thought that in general, the goblin race needed to be purged from society and that the act of eating him wasn't a crime. Since then, Mordi has become paranoid that all races are officially racist.
That episode had a twist to it, Mordi turned the tables on his would-be diner and made him into the first Reuben sandwich...
I had brought a shifter.
Somebody else brought a ranger that specialized in hunting lycanthropes.
We had agreed not to fight eachother so we could get this damn bandit problem under control.
We became friends because we got stuck with an additional idiot and we ended up being the competent ones who handled the situation.
Granted, it was a oneshot, but fair enough.
You know some rancid shit is about to go down when a D&D Story begins with "It all started when I joined a game on Roll20".
Dang man, I use your profile picture on discord and steam. I was instantly like "when did I watch this video?"
"Does your dad knows you're gay, Druid ?"
"No, but yours yes."
As someone who doesn't have time to play that last story just boils my piss.
I've had my character singled out by the party before. They decided they were going to just attack me because they got some meta confusion and thought that somehow his character knew that mine has been psychically attacked and that he cheesed his way out of it. (They tried to coerce me to the other side and my character was down as long as he got XYZ. DM had a small stroke because I didn't even try to resist and basically ended up giving them the cold shoulder with no rolls). So in character he basically turned around pointed his bolter at my psycher. He said he was going to shoot my character and I looked at the DM kinda worried about what was about to happen. I go first automatically because I was ready for combat it wasn't a surprise round and I spent my XP on stuff that made my character strictly better. The DM is laughing with a devilish grin and I just shrug and start counting out d10s. I soon discovered that even with the copious amount of extra dice I had there weren't enough at the table so I'd have to roll more than once. The player has gotten real quiet. DM asks what I'm gonna do and I casually reply "holocaust."
Player: "whats holocaust?"
DM: "are you sure you want to go through with this whole trying to kill (me) thing? Because he's about to one shot the entire party."
Psyker: "Do I detect uncertainty in your purpose?"
I’ve never played DnD but that sounds pretty badass that a Druid can summon 16 giant snakes to fight for them.
Just don't be the DM who has to keep track of all that shit.
@@kingfenrir227 Just have them share initiative and act essentially as a swarm. If they have say, 10 hp each, treat them as one creature with 160 hp and each 10hp loss means the death of one snake. This isn't too bad with computer virtual dice but it can take quite a while if you're rolling dice physically.
As far as I know there is one feat thats lets you attack as people approach and thats Pole arm Master, which says that when an enemy gets within your attack range while you have a pole arm you get an opportunity attack on them.
Add that on a bugbear...
Hmm, I learned don't judge a book by its cover. In the last campaign I played the half-orc was a big asset. My barbarian was skeptical in the beginning because Orcs killed his bear in the past. But he let that slide to complete the mission. In the end they became friends.
“Druids are gay”
Ok, I’m done, I’m gonna go play with some adults
This is less a sign of homophobia than it is just a sign of immaturity, but either way, yes, find other people to play with.
First campaign of D&D was a league of legends home brew world, we had gotten out into an arena style prison just outside of bilgewater, I played a rogue half orc and had been put into a cell with a elf and a dwarf, luckily my barbarian buddy had my back in there, otherwise I might have gotten myself killed 😅
I once played a campaign where I was a goblin ranger with a pig mount, my party found my character casted detect good and evil, they found out I was good and meant to harm and then they tortured my character by cutting his ears off, killing my pig, and then killing me. They even had a character sheet waiting for me to fill out. It turned out the the DM didn’t want goblins in his campaign because it would’ve been “too much of a struggle” to keep hidden
GMs should keep in mind that some characters just don't mesh with others. If most of the players are playing genocidal racists, and they don't expect to have their views challenged, having a half-orc in the party isn't going to work out well.
Indeed there are some cases were it can work that being if the players decide to make it work
but in many cases it can’t work it depends on the players as they are the ones who make the game
the DMs are the ones whom need to guide the game and give it reason.
"accusing me of being a superstitious greenskin."
Brief pause as the reader's brain short-circuits
That would have been a good moment to remember the old advice "you don't have to outrun the monsters, just the slowest companion."
"we do things a bit differently here"
by that logic, i would have summoned 256 snakes all 10x the size of normal snakes
There are alot of bad DM's out there. They give good ones a bad name.
9:52 Player should have waited until people started taking points of exhaustion XD. LVL three's a good starting point.
Provides good berries and players are like: "Why no give earlier"
Player: "I was afraid you'd have killed me. I care about you guys and wanted to help."
Queue character development.
That winona sounds like they were doing a lot of projection ans taking their frustration out on the druid guy. The gm was biased, and didn't do their job. Downright hypocritical for the sake of the other players too. It's good the player left.
First story, the majority of the players were just salting their characters weren't always in the spotlight. They can go cry a river.
With the second stroy, i would have gone back in when i heard about the Cthulhu cult shit, kill the character with no roll, and say "i thought they were a witch", then leave.
"fine guys wear your robes let the monsters swarm and eat you he says as he walks away boom let them die approach
As someone who plays a lot of elves... you still need to work with the party. Of course, you can have your sense of superiority, but keep it to side comments.
Elves just have a different perspective on the world than most other races, but as a player, don't constantly look down upon others, just accept that their viewpoint is simply different, and they couldn't change that if they wanted to.
Unless of course, they are drow, then burn them with moonlight.
Insulting the brutish fighter and attacking him with a knive is a great idea for a level 1 caster.
There is a lesson to learn here. Even if your character is rassist to others or is a notorious thief, don´t target party members if thats not something you as players want to develope AFTER you talked that kind of thing through.
Everybody knows this kind of player: "But thats what my character would do"
This sentence is only an excuse for someone beeing a dick.
Nobody in his right mind would team up with a doucheback who constantly would betray or annoy the party. It is only that the Player knows exactly that his friends are going to turn a blind eye on this edgelord shit because they are supposed to include this player into the game. I call this meta exploit
Too many people don't understand that the point of dnd is to keep the party together, and overcome conflict/obstacles. If you put a contention in the game, you need to give/get the biggest win you can.
That second story is litterally roll 20 in a nutshell
My favorite thing is roll playing a drunk wizard. More drunk the better I do. My sister, our GM/DM likes to homered up my magick is all wild magick unless I am inebriated, and the severity of wild magick lessens the more drinks I've had and type of drink. It was incredible fun.
I played a racist character once, my ranger's village was ravaged by orc clans, which made him bitter toward our half orc cleric. It made for some good roleplay as he slowly learned to trust someone of orcish lineage again
What kind of elf doesn't have nature survival skills!
Bet they're those pompous bratty high elves.
Half Orc: (Kills the rest of the party)
Rest of the Party: (Leaves chat)
Half Orc: ???
But otherwise, everyone shpuld have talked this over before we had a PVPTPK.
TPK because of GM didn't give players anything else to do
You forgot part 1.
Rest of party: (be assholes to half-orc entire campaign)
I am playing a half orc in a party of all elves... Makes for funny situations but also makes things difficult.
That warlock is a massive edge lord
This is why my number one house rule is that the party must get along.
I hate how in the first story they didn't run it by the OP that they were going to rp the bitter history between elves and orcs and then got pissy after they attacked him, I mean yeah they got pissed for some, emphasis on some, good reasons and they should have brought them up to the DM, honestly it all could have been solved if the casters had talked with the OP and DM after the prior sessions. As for the second story, I don't use Roll20 since I play on Discord with friends, so I don't know what groups on it are like, but this one seems to be full of assholes. Firstly, the DM didn't tell OP about the groups absurd house rules instead of giving the half-assed excuse of "we do things differently here", secondly, the "Winona Ryder" player needs to either pay attention to the world's lore and not judge the DRUID since they're playing a WARLOCK OF CTHULHU, also the homophobic remarks were highly uncalled for, I applaud OP for leaving that group of asshats (I refuse to be polite about this, btw). I don't know what would have helped the situation, other than possibly calling out that group for it's shit, even then, I'd just leave the group if they didn't kick me out over that.
Imagine being xenophobic
This post was made by the triton gang
That last story hurt to listen to. Being allowed infinite reaction attacks triggered by someone just approaching is beyond broken. A DM can only change so many tules before its false advertising to call it D&D.
Gotta call it with the druid's story... DM is either the Warlock's relative, or the latter has dirt on them. Probably a closet case trying to appear more homophobic than thou in fear of being found out.
.... How come the warlock wasnt accused of witchcraft?
It’s not always elves. I played a goblin on a Discord game and had two other players continually try to degrade my character for his race, even though the DM explained in his world that goblins were not evil creatures, but normally a integrated race like all others. That did not stop the other two from constantly trying to undermine me at every turn until I finally had enough and bowed out of the game. Neither of the other characters were elves. They just decided that their characters did not like goblins, and “played to their character’s personality “, as if making a racist character excuses you from trying to make another player uncomfortable and anger. If racism is not right in real life, why would it be in a cooperative game? I ended up talking to the DM to explain that if this was a real setting, my character wouldn’t have anything to do with the other two. Why would he join a party who are racist against him? While the DM seemed sympathetic, he did not try too hard in game time to curb the other two player’s behavior. So, i simply left. Why play with want-to-be racists after all?
Fantasy racism should not be equated to real world racism. On the other hand, in-character racism is no excuse for that kind of treatment of a PLAYER, so I see your point to a degree.
The actual hell? Spellcasters are burned as witches...alright fine, nice add to a game...Warlock casts rapid fire eldritch blasts and nobody bats an eye...the fuck? He just wanted to make berries to help with food supply....that's so cringe.
why the elves? I didn't realise this until now because of my love for elves but the 2 players that spoiled 2 D&D parties for me were elves and when asked why do they act the way they do, they just said with a smile on thier face "because I don't like you, no reason" DM's did nothing and gibed you are not going to leave you have been putting up with this for too long now to leave.
1st level spellcasters vs a greataxe? I think I'll put my money on the axe...
The thing is that if your gonna play a character who has some problems with other races make sure there justified and be ready for it to change over time
Orcs commit over half of all bandit raids despite the fact that they're only 12% of the pop
My favorite campaign was plagued by racism. Our party consisted of the Tiefling Rogue Mya, the Gnome Wizard Lowin, the homebrew half angel/half Insectoid Warlock Kuwaga, the Warforged Monk 13, the Minotaur Paladin Cen, and my Aasimar Bard Elizabeth. Our world’s most recent event was an invasion by Celestials corrupted by beings of the Far Realm, so you can imagine how Kuwaga and Ellie were treated. Not to mention the Insectoid kingdom we went to was extremely xenophobic. It was like talking to a brick wall, trying to convince the kingdom to forge an alliance with the human king that sent us on this mission.
48 eldritch blast in 6 seconds is pure insanity
The ending to the first story was honestly really wholesome.
I honestly think this could've really worked and been a great campaign. The reason this kind of stuff can be a problem is bad roleplay, or players actually getting offended. It was fine until the one elf drew the dagger and attacked the half orc. A magic character is supposed to be intelligent, and so you could easily roleplay them stepping down as "this orcish monster will kill me if I don't." At least it had a good ending beyond that.
Man, in-character racism is acceptable in almost all games but is definitely not newbie-friendly.
Still, even if I was treated unjustly by fellow Players (or even the DM) because it is truly how their Characters think then I have no say. It's an interesting challenge to me.
Openly hostile and attempting to Kill an Orc isn't the best Idea, Especially at Level 1
The part the where the half-orc single handedly took down all of those racist elves was the best part for me.
I had a character that hated goblins after they took his parents and we ended up having a goblin join the party and my character hated that, but over time they grew close and my character lost his hatred of goblins
This gave me an idea for a magic item called the Rod of Cancellation, except instead of cancelling spells, it curses a person so that everyone they speak to immediately knows the most racist thing they’ve done.
a wizard who cloned himself
so he can do both of his beloved things
1) go on adventures
2) run his tavern
same brain, so he is constantly multitasking. One focus on his tavern tasks, one on his adventuring tasks.
Only getting to fully focus when one half goes to sleep or when it is a matter of life and death. but he has to know the matter is lofe or death. surprise attacks bad!
He will slip, the half on the adventure might ask someone their drink order
while the one in the tavern had a spell placed on it that keeps the clone from casting spells.
The best is the ad before the video was the hair restoration treatment he voice overed.
I like to listen to your videos while I work at my computer and I’m submitting this from I’ve down 1000s of times but hearing 12:12 literally got me to stop and forget how to do the form 😂
“Mommy, can I join the Cult of Cthulhu?”
“No Jimmy, we have Cult of Cthulhu at h-“
**enter Winona Ryder**
“Sure, Jimmy!”
Paladin: "Did somebody say.... HERESY?"
I played a Drow who was xenophobic, but treated it very similar to Legolas during The Hobbit. It led to an awesome character development story as the campaign progressed. My Drow's best friend eventually became the party's Goliath barbarian. Man we made an awesome duo haha!
That's when you just make a forsaker lol
funny how the image is all elves with big snob noses.
i even have a char that hates elves but is willing to work with em.
Dm for the last one was full of it a warlock is not that powerful and definitely cannot evaporate an army of snakes. The paladin was not playing lawful good at all the DM must have edited that to because he was just being chaotic stupid. Something about chaotic neutral that brings out the stupid in people. Druid is a witch but not the warlock which is a male witch. *face palms*.
And the warlock just eldritch blast 16 snakes in a single turn... Wich is impossible

I hate racism in roleplaying games.
Actually, I hate racism, period.
In this case it’s common
because in most fantasy games/TV shows/Books
orcs and elf’s hate each other in some fantasy settings
the orcs kill ravage and even rape elf’s and humans
orcs were originally made to be the bad guys of all fantasy settings
but they can make good characters for roleplay if done right
for example let’s say a orc wanted to change the reputation of his race
and try’s to save the world then you have a good set up but in D&D
it all depends on how well all the players know each other and each other’s
characters.
These stories sound like one of my first games in 3.5 where the party with out knowing it in character listened to the paladin who was convinced my cleric was evil cause i didn't heal them (he used out of character knowledge that i was NE) and kicked me out of a portal i created and left me to die in an alternate dimension created by the pit fiend i had just helped kill. this was after the Paladin at `hp charged a full health necromancy cleric and spared by said cleric as to keep up he fact he was a hidden alignment.
