I'm trying to branch out but somehow I always end up on the same two branches.
Our DM is ready to kill our monk. If he can find any damage the monk can't dodge, reduce, or straight up ignore.
The DM's description of the damage was "You still have enough bones to keep most things in place."
If this posts twice, my apologies, it was loading super slow and I tried to upload again. If not, do me a favor and disregard this message. Didn't happen.
I kind of want to get a friend to just sit in a game store and find a game to troll with this.
"Look, I'm sorry, I just had to check whether a stake through the heart would kill him. It didn't really occur to me that it would kill normal people too." ;)
First off the development of that backstory is beautiful.
Also my rogue lost all her dignity to a mimic recently. 2 mimics. I shot the second one and tried to hide from it on a bookshelf but it frog-tongued me. Also lost almost all my hit points.
I suppose the correct pedantic way to say it is "Lego bricks" even in the plural. But brevity in titles is a thing I strive for. Less so in the comments section. Also marbles. Marbles feel surprisingly sharp for spheres when stepped upon.
That's rough, buddy.
We've tried some Roll20 and even a mix of in-person with someone zooming in (which we're gonna have to do again) but the commute is worth it for the in-person to me. Then again we host so it's no commute off my nose. Just set up and clean up.
I did check! It went something like: Me: Before I go further into this room, I'm backing up to the wall and shooting everything to see if any of it bleeds. Party: You sure you're not going to get eaten by the wall? Me: ...well if the wall is a mimic I'm already dead.
If anyone really wants a vampire deer token. The blood was a very hasty add.
Ha, nah, I scribbled it while taking notes and sent it to him. This is all my fault.
Eh, I'd definitely say it's not a "don't ever do this" scenario. For player agency matters- if luck had been on our side (if I'd rolled a longer fuse, if we'd coordinated better, if I'd gone down instead of up first) then yeah, we could have diffused them. Regardless, I think it works for the story. First off, it's something I gave myself in my backstory, not something I earned in-game. Secondly, I acknowledged that having this bar to defend was reducing my character's desire to go after the main story line (so I shouldn't have been surprised ;) ). Third, this is intended as a short campaign so I think bigger character's-life-changing events are reasonable if not even expected. And most importantly of course, I trust my DM to make a good story, and he trusts me to help move the story forward in interesting ways. (despite what I said about defending the bar, I can find character reasons to move forward if I need to and have in the past.)
Me: makes meme with this template Me: comes here and sees this immediately after. Glad we're on the same page? ;)
I don't need to be called out like this.

Looking forward to this for my character. One more level... :D
