      Honestly I did something similar. PC was always trying homebrews and I'd veto a lot of it or heavily modify what I allowed. PC called me out and other PCs agreed because he complained to them when I wasn't present. So I allowed the homebrew. The villain then used the homebrew teleportation spell that allowed you to deliver anything to anyone anywhere to deliver 10 barrels of gunpowder to the party then 6 seconds later a lit match.
      After a few minutes of arguing how the spell worked PCs agreed to my modified version and we restarted the session. It took me 5 min to show them it was bad rather than the 30min+ it could take in arguments.

    I think the DM’s actions during the whole necromancy story were very heavy-handed and unnecessary.
    I mean, everybody knew that essentially the original story had collapsed because of one players actions.
    (which, by the way, the DM was the one who decided to make the situation worse and worse.)
    The DM could’ve changed the spell on the fly, Added a limit, to how many skeletons that could be made, just about anything, but what he actually decided to do.
    At the last moment, he could’ve even made it so that everything snapped back to normal.
    And the sorcerer is standing there, right where he was when he first cast the spell, and out of the ground a single skull with enough bones to form a hand coming out of the base and basically just kind of wobbling back-and-forth like thing with a skull on top of the stump.
    The whole thing was just a delusion that he had based off of panic attack or something.
    There’s so much more that could’ve been done other than this doomsday scenario that ends up with the entire planet, imploding, and becoming a star.

      Never have I ever liked Material Components for Spellcasting. They just make it so you have to keep track of more stuff on your character sheet and spend money you could spend on enchanting your equipment or learning new spells just trying to make sure you can cast the spells you do have, with the major exception of spells like Revivify.
      However, this DM going so far off the rails he straight up killed a planet over one player forgetting to put a limit on it... definitely has me understanding why Material Components exist for even 5th level spells that I wouldn't consider Apocalyptic or even Encounter-breaking.

      And it was the DM, who decided that it got so bad that the planet collapsed to a star from the sheer mass.
      Especially when he decided to calculate that, even if they could kill 1 million skeletons in a single turn, it still wouldn’t be enough.

    So, what you're saying is that, in the first campaign, they created a Death Star? 😂😂😂😂😂
    That has some potential world building opportunities to it; a star made of death and the confused, tormented souls of those who died not knowing what was happening. Could be the birthing place or perfect release condition for a god of death to emerge into the universe. Or a source of untold power for some other foolish necromancer to try and harness.

    To answer the question at the end of the video in my first campaign the BBEGs second hand (really he was more of a BBEG cause we knew stuff about him and he impacted our backstories) was hated by the party and we all wanted to kill him. Several of our party members villages were destoryed by this guys bidding, others were formerly his servants. We got to fight this guy but then the fight took so long we stretched it to 2 sessions. The DM then (in the second session) stopped the fighting and claimed that this guy was never actually behind any of it, it was a god one of our clerics followed disguesed as him. We killed the god since he appeared while this was being discovered. After killing the god the dm begins to invite a new player to the table to have the BBEG second hand join our party. Our campaign died then and there. We stayed together as a group but kicked the DM.

    I don't think there is anything at base with a person taking control of an npc as a pc, but it has to be done well. And the dm should also consult the rest of the party. Its just a dick move in this circumstance to circumvent all the hard work that one player put in.

    • @theFrozeman
      @theFrozeman 5 месяцев назад

      It becomes extra problematic with the romance. Role-playing a romance in game can be tricky depending on how much goes behind the veil. Throwing the player into a romance could be anywhere from a little awkward to "dude taking over the npc has a crush and sees this as his shot" territory. Either way, not cool without prior discussion.
      If I ended up in the players' shoes, I think I'd very quickly break off the relationship, RP some suspicion, and shift the existing down time activities to investigating why he "came back wrong" and whether or not he was possessed or something.

    First story is just stupid in that the DM should have never allowed such a broken and problematic spell that in reality was more powerful than a wish. Just bad DMing...
    Second story, the DM should have asked when they decided to just handwave something that the player had invested a lot of time into as story arc. As for the NPC now PC being played differently, that could be simply explained as a result of the death experience incurring a change, not really up to the player.

    Second situation, the D.M. Should not let the player use the dead N.P.C. Especially while it is deeply entwined In a character’s plot to resurrect the dead guy.
    I have always understood there is a time limit where a dead person can no longer be resurrected, perhaps I am mistaken.
