The invincible chicken. This was my day 1 story my group told me when I joined and played the DnD system for the first time. So sorta cheating, but it was too good to NOT tell.
The players discovered that for a certain amount of gold: they could upgrade the Armor class of any piece of armor. ANY piece of armor. And they realized that the smaller the armor: the cheaper it was. So they got the chicken that one of party members was carrying for some reason, got it some armor, and started using as much gold as possible to upgrade its armor class.
Then they got a bunch of explosives, and when ever they had a boss room: they would light the fuse, and send the chicken in. So they would kill the boss, nearly level the building/dungeon, and the chicken always came out alive. Apparently the campaign ended around the time they almost had enough AC to use enough explosive to kill a tarrasque and still live. Let that sink into your skin for a moment.
They managed to upgrade a chicken... to the point where they could kill a tarrasque, a creature that means the end of the world, with explosives... and the chicken would still survive.
literally geniuses xD
Talk about fowl play.
They read this story! Awesome greats

"So, you just ate that phylactery? What did it taste like?"
" *unexpected demon voice* VIOLENCE, MALICE, AND HATRED *normal voice* It was actually quite good for what it was. Could have used some salt though."
My party once launched me, an elf Ranger out of a catapult so that I could land two shots on an ancient red dragon, before falling unconscious from the impact with the ground.
Did you win the fight?
That first story is actually pretty badass. If I was DM, I would reward the player handsomely for being creative.
TL;DR: Party sorcerer tricks a miniboss into looking at a derp-eyed pseudodragon that acts like a walking deck of many things. Miniboss turns into a pie, which the party then eats
A party I was part of once used the tactic of being absurdly OP. Our level 13(?) characters had been stripped of all weapons and equipment and dumped into a level 1 module. At one point, a skeleton popped up and started monologing. The paladin one-shotted it and said "I do not banter with minions."
Our GM facepalmed and mumbled through her fingers "that was the Boss."
Perfection
[7:35] "The fighter saving a Hyrule simulation by stealing Peach's panties and wearing them, which turned him into a futanari..."
What in the sweet hell!? That is beyond weird! XD
Okay, the simulation one, im not even going to go into how freaking weird that one turned out to be, but I am going to say, why did it say PEACH in the HYRULE simulation
The chocking out a dragon with orc testicles, while a funny story, is a case of not getting the rules right. I checked other editions than 5e as well, so I'm fairly certain that the spell only doubles an object in size and doesn't just "fill all the available space". So in reality the dragon would've just had larger than avarage sized orc balls in its mouth, which wouldn't do much considering a dragon could most likely swallow a person whole (at least an ancient dragon could). The misunderstanding probably came from the segment that mentions: "object attains the maximum possible size in the space available" but not realizing it also says: "If there isn't enough room for the target to *double its size"* just prior in the same sentence.

A lot of the stuff in this video was homebrew cringe. Homebrew is great but derails campaigns. You know how many times in the DND Discord in the "Help me GM" channel where players need help balancing encounters and asked why the players are so strong they explain "they have homebrew crossbow minigun that deals 100d10". TOO DAMN MUCH
Pretty sure that “bardic discouragement” is just the College of Lore bard’s Cutting Words feature.
this sounds like a really fun prompt
That one where the party member destroys Baldur's Gate to kill a Medusa reminds me of when Megumin blew up a ruin to kill a previous Hero's Dom-bot.
Throwing a door at him and rolling extremely high to intimidate the entire security staff, that what my player did and sadly that was my first time ever DMing
*Bardic Discouragement*
I think you mean the college of lore bard's *cutting words*
Suplexing a BBEG into a ravine is awesome. Imagining that scenario is bringing out my inner Jim Ross.
"The barbarian broke the stone! The barbarian broke the stone! He's pushing the BBEG into the ravine!!
Wait, what?! He's suplexing the boss into the ravine!! Oh, my God!!
3, 2, 1, ***BOOOOM!!!!***
He beat the boss and only took half a point of damage!! The boss is down!! The boss is down!! Oh **hell** yeah!!"
On my first game I was playing as a dragonborn(ice) barbarian when I was introduced I was being sacrificed as a virgin. My goal from that point was to get laid(not my intended character goal but my dumb barbarian did not want that situation again) after a few failed attempts I turned up late to a game night. The DM retconed that my character having met a oddly strong elf bar maid (turned out to be half goliath) and after some private time I run out the bar with thigh bruises on my face. I had missed a important boss fight in the mean time while the party was healing up the rouge dark elf had snuck off and found an optional boss a flesh golom and thinks I can take him solo. Needless to say after taking one punch she was dropped to half health. At which point I role a proseption check rolled high and burst through the door at which point the flesh goloms creator appears saying he was made to fight the bbeg the rouge being pissed I had desturbed the fight went off to sulk and the creator disappeared somewhere I Deeside to go back to the bar and through shear randomness I say to the golom fancy a drink? Roll for persuasion says the DM Nat 20 we turned a boss flesh golom into my drinking buddy. On the way to the bar I passed another party member the are taken a back with the golom and I say on the way past I am not sleeping with this one. The hole table burst into fits of laughter.
Not the DM, but I was the player. We were facing the evil guy, who guarded the mcguffin. The way he died was all because I had coated him in alchemist's fire and kept him occupied from murdering a caster he had cornered... His last moments on the material plane consisted of him channeling negative energy to kill me, and instead it healed me, so I laughed him off the material plane as he burned to death.
We were doing a one shot with a warlord and 7 innocents there was a 6 hour timer if we didn’t kill the warlord by that time the innocents would lose.There are also lots of puzzles in it and the DM put more than 100 hundred hours making this map. The game starts and the warlord who is a lot stronger also has a magic item to succeed on any deception roll. So he says that he is not the warlord and that he wants to talk a bit and relax as soon as the innocent sits down he attacks him the innocent have a really high movement speed escapes and sees most of the other players meeting up. He goes to report that he knows who the warlord is and everybody DECIDED TO GO ON A CRUSADE. A few minutes later the warlord, his assistant and me a innocent person that got randomly attacked by the crusade were placing traps and prepared spells and before we could do anything the other group has a stupid chaotic neural character this is the exact thinking of the character (we have a strong man and another strong man) he takes a boat and a horse out of his robe of useful items burns both in flames and then says ( throw these in the random portal I don’t think they are expecting this ) they roll on disadvantage TWO NAT 20s and TWO 18s. The DM says to my group before you could do anything you see a horse that is on fire riding a boat that is on fire going towards one of your comrades and the DM says after rolling the damage ( the warlord is defeated ).
You better fucking believe the flaming horse riding boat strategy worked I thought of it
So among the many things we did in the Adventure arc, we'd skirted various sections of the ongoing Adventure, missed side-quests that were basically nothing but free XP with social antics, and used tactical strengths to evade more combats than we'd actively engaged in. All of this was ongoing as we realized (slowly) that we were steadily treading into more dangerous territory with steadily bigger and badder baddies...
Pro-Tip : Take the damn plot-hooks more often than not. You don't gain XP for enemies you never actually face... and a Good GM sets up plenty of fodder for you to wipe out just to gain power...
Never the less... We find ourselves approaching the Keep of the BBEG... AND a horde that we might've actually stood toe-to-toe with had we bothered with those "character building exercises" throughout the Campaign to date... Only we were basically a group of Level 6's where Level 12's or higher would've been at least trepidatious. The two Rangers (myself a Desert Ranger, and the other a Forest Ranger) developed a cunning plan, however. We got the Party to set camp discretely away and just observe from the rough a while, and we both "went foraging" as it were, only instead of fruits or other food, we hunted and gathered as many hornet and wasp nests as we could locate and carefully secure without disturbing the things. Then we got the Party Wizard's help and proceeded to send these nests through windows and balconies all over the keep. Of course, inside said keep, all hell broke loose, and while about 80% or so of the enemy ranks flooded out of the place, the Party approached and watched for the Leader, who's pride would refuse him taking cover. When he was emerging, we attacked with everything else we had, and in the ensuing chaos, he was taken down without having to deal with a legitimate army... all on account of "nobody likes wasps or hornets"...
SO I'll leave it here. You can debate... "Brilliant" or "Just Silly"??? ;o)
@ Yup... It is what it is...lolz and all. ;o)
I love these kinds of stories.
Can’t wait to finish the video lmao
So, this video as im writing this is out has been online for 11 minutes, the video is 12 minutes, it has one downvote..... so that means that someone saw that he uploaded a new video, and then specifically went over here just to downvote this video.... that level of hate is not tolerated here D:

I just had session one today ( not my first though) and I already know it’s going to be awesome, the dm and the other players are soooo good
We used a swap-star to teleport the boss (an evil Druid making skin-walkers) 50ft in the air outside his base (I, an Aaracokora Ranger was flying outside the walls and threw the swap-star), he fell down (4d10 damage) and the party smashed him before he even had a chance to do anything (surprise round and high initiative, he didn't get a single turn). We then ran away, not wanting to deal with all his minions.
I love the stories told on this channel, keep up the great work guys!!!!!

I was running a Dune-inspired one shot in my west march guild. The entire party had not seen/read Dune before so it was a good choice, though one player eventually figured it out after first incorrectly guessing it was "Tremors". Anyway, they fought some Fremen and then got attacked by a Sandworm after the battle due to the noise it created. I had forgotten that a few weeks earlier I had giving my players crystals that when smashed would release an Olympic swimming pool's worth of water instantly. Well... my sister's decided that they should fight the Sandworm from the inside, and I thought that was reasonable. If you didn't know, Sandworms are very vulnerable to water and have effectively a geothermal engine inside them...
She smashed a crystal instantly bursting the Sandworm with an Olympic swimming pool's worth of water. The very well planned boss fight ended in just one round. Well played my friends.

I once had bought a wand of polymorph, which i eventually found was the best purchase ever. We were fighting a pack of orcs, and all my spell slots were gone, our hit points were getting down to death saves, and it was pretty much up to my bard, last in initiative line, to save us. After looking over my character sheet in a panic, I finally remember my polymorph wand. I ask his artificer girlfriend for a jar, a label, and a pen, on which he scribbles. He then turns to the orc, whips out his wand of polymorph, and shouts, "I DUB THEE... STEVE THE WORM!"
and the orc promptly crit failed the save, shrinking into a green inchworm.
My bard then picks up the worm, and puts him in the jar, then pokes holes in the fabric lid so it can breathe.
While the party and i laugh our asses off, the dm just sighs and says "add steve the inchworm to your inventory" and we had a haversack that prolonged life, so i stick him in there.
He planned to learn a true polymorph spell to turn the worm permanently into a golden retriever, and then cast animal friendship on him. And that's how we beat an Uruk Hai super boss and turned him into the party's favorite pet.
Late, not really stupid, but we were in a dungeon crawling one shot earlier today, and the bbeg was made for 5 level 4s, and it was 3 level 3s we had, and we led him down a hallway, set the hallway on fire, he failed like half of the saves and took like 7d8 fire damage, and I finished him off with a longbow shot
My party pushed a dragon off the Infinite Staircase.
DM forgot it could fly.
Dragon forgot it could fly.

In response to the sponsor advert....you had me at monster girl.
We’re currently fighting our BBEG (we had to split it into sessions because it was taking so long).
One of our party members, a drow sorcerer who made his personal goal to make the BBEG’s life a living hell, found out about his fear of ducks. *So he brought three ducks into the fight to scare him.*
Two of the ducks died after the BBEG, an adult red dragon, stomped on one of them and threw the other out a window. My character saved the last one and almost dies while doing so.
I named the last duck Richard McQuacker and the DM accepted it, we’ll try to give him my pc’s old arcane focus and teach him how to be a spellcaster.
I killed a pantheon at level 5 with a inanimate garden gnome and some fish and replaced the pantheon by making gods out of the hero’s that emerged from the chaos
Ay, my redit post! Let's Go!
Lets obtain this grain
My character managed to annoy the big bad by simply not staying down. He just wouldn’t die my wild mage kept getting knocked unconscious but kept getting revived with healing potions. Also I made all my death saves each time. So my character kept getting back up. This happened over 15 times. The gm was just dumbfounded as to how I was still alive. The big bad wasted so many turns trying to kill me that the party eventually beat her. It was downright hilarious.
We peeked in the door stealthily, our ranger shot two arrows into the magic staff the bbeg hadn’t picked up yet, destroying it and exploding its magic energy. The mostly closed steel door protected us but everyone in the room was killed instantly.
we kept our BBEG charmed and just let the rangers bear basically chew her to death. facing other foes had been other janky victories - like trapping something in a green house and casting shatter, or our druid keep casting spiked growth and then pally challenging them to a duel (pally spell i forget) so they'd walk through it, back up and repeat
BBEG is in a cave summoning an elder black pudding to have it rise up from the cave, up into the sewers, and into the streets of a city above.
Druid: I cast stone shape and seal the area shut.
Me: ... um... the ritual goes off and the BBEG only has so many command ooze charges...
at 10:43 whenever anyone asks "why did the Shredder in tmnt 2 secrete of the ooze get defeated by the dock collapsing on top of him?" I refer to this as such an example.
I tamed a pink blob that was basically immune to physical attacks and could eat enemies to slowly dissolve them, the first dungeon was a group of rooms with different monsters in them. The dm did not calculate how high level the monsters should have been so we just had the blob eat them all.
Sooo me and my friends had a “campaign” where we would just take quests, fight big scary monsters, and make ourselves ridiculously overpowered, while never exceeding level two. At one point, we were hired to take on a black dragon adult and this went about as well as you would expect. To make a long story short, we end up making it eat a group of orcs that chased us in, but we injected the orcs with like a hundred gallons of acid, so the dragon died of having Diarrhea so bad it crapped out it’s stomach. Yeah.
In what was supposed to be a ridiculously hard fight where the party had to gouge out the eyes of a demon to banish it, the assassin forgot to do a called shot. Demon responded casually, grabbing her calf, tearing off her lower leg, and tossing her over his shoulder to be sacrificed later or just bleed out. My guy ran over to help her...but not until our madman of a barbarian landed two consecutive attacks putting out the thing's eyes instantly and leaving the DM stunned and the session over, an hour early. A year and a brutal player kill count later (we're new to the system so we're currently treating classes like a buffet, going up and messing with them for a bit before moving on) he is still undefeated in battle, has legends told of his kills, makes the underworld tremble at the sound of his boots on metal walkways, and has become the bane of his player's existence because he just wants nothing more than to play a healer now. XD
(Not the DM but a player)
Friends and I were playing ICRPG, specifically the Warp Shell variant (so sci-fi). We were going against the BBEG which was an exiled god that was trying to corrupt the cosmos in an act of revenge against the other gods for stripping him of his position and a good amount of his power. In the previous session, his son had gibbed two of our party members, a pair of robots that my dwarf had decided to treat and care for like they were her children. So she wanted to destroy the BBEG no matter what (We had joked that she was becoming Doomguy for the final session because at this point she had a suit of power armor that she added claws and a shoulder-mounted rocket too, and was carrying what was essentially a super shotgun). We make it into his temple and we find some Dwarven Bombs in a side room full of loot. They deal 4d12 damage but require a timer roll of 1d4 rounds before they explode. When we finally got to the BBEG, the DM described him as this giant monster, with a gaping maw and massive tentacle limbs. So, I asked the DM if I could throw a Dwarven Bomb into his mouth. DM said yes. I succeeded the roll, and the timer for the bomb landed on a 1. The next round comes, DM decides the bomb does double damage because it's inside the BBEG, so after rolling 8d12, that one bomb did 73 damage. We ended up killing the BBEG 1 round later.
Fun fact about dames of Asstoria, Dames is the dutch word for Ladies
I set off a magical thermonuclear bomb that the bbeg was dumb enough to pick up with his hands and try to disarm it. The blast was so massive that it left a 2 mile deep crater and leveled the city we was actually trying to protect. The dm wasn't happy
Keeping it fresh. Good video idea
We have just rescued the son of a murdered baron and he says his fathers wizard is in a town 40 miles west of us, we march over the next 3 days and get to his wizard tower. Now my character happens to be a Chaotic Neutral slightly insane person and as i am interacting with the wizard i get frustrated with him and tell the dm "I yse my great axe and chop off his head" "what has he done to you" "not sure i just dont like him" "fine... roll for your attack" "nat 20, i chop of his head" "this is to you and not your character, that was SUPPOSED TO BE THE LATE GAME BOSS FIGHT!" "Oh, then do i get eno7gh xp to level up?" our dm was not pleased
A couple sessions in to a very weird homebrew world, I was an aaracoka arcane trickster level 5 with no legs(different story) and I had 2 bags of holding. We had a bbeg already who was a powerful artificer/wizard not sure which, he was the king of a kingdom full of automatons. I had sneaked into his throne room alone, got 2 nat 20s and a 19 which with my modifiers was a 28 or so. Took about 3/4 turns but finally I was within 10 feet of him, shoved the bag of holding into the other bag of holding boom we are in the astral plane. Him and I jump into a astral pool to go to a random plane and go to ysgard, doesn’t have a diamond on him so can’t cast gate, trap him there forever or for a long time at least
TLDR: I ended a demonic ritual to bring Asmodeus to the prime material plane by climbing on the back of a flying shadow dragon and causing a nuclear explosion.
So in the campaign my group is currently running, we had a Halloween one shot that turned into a 2 shot, essentially after having a near miss at lvl 5, escaping an ancient White Dragon, and were recovering at a goliath village, the chief told us a story in sort of a flashback cutaway. We were given lvl 10 characters, we had a cleric, fighter, ranger, and I was a rogue (which I hated because I had to completely go 180 from my Paladin I’m currently running) but long story short I ended up closing a gigantic portal to the lowest levels of the nine hells opened by Asmodeus himself by climbing on the back of a red shadow dragon, it taking off and flying into the air, and pouring a resurrection potion down it’s corpse rider’s throat. Said corpse was engulfed in hellfire and as soon as I touched the thing it burned my arm off. The corpse was actually the sacrifice that started the ritual to open the portal and reviving it would end it. Turns out that closing the portal, the ritual ending, and that damned hellfire, added up to a gigantic nuke essentially and leveled the city we were defending and killed the whole entire party. But we saved Faerun and I went out in a blaze of glory. Dumb as hell, if id’ve had one bad roll (these were all dc 18+ acrobatics and wisdom checks) everything was done for. But absolutely one of the most bad ass moments I’ve ever had in a ttrpg.
11:20 The viewers are some kind of Twilight(esque) Sparkle/y Great Old Ones?
We haven't beaten the BBEG yet, but it's a pretty silly method if you ask me.
So, we've had our ass handed to us by the BBEG thus far: an alhoon that has mantled the power of a deity (also level 20 illusion wizard, so yay simulacrum). We recently had a boon from the good of our dm's campaign world that allowed us to gain an epic boon. I, of course playing a divine soul sorcerer, pick the second 9th level spell slot. Then we realized something fantastic;
If you cast wish to cast a 8th level spell or lower, you can avoid material components and it's instant. So, I have my co-party member (Zeus, long story) cast simularcrum on me. I then proceed to simulacrum chain so we have 6 copies of me including my original body, each with a 9th level spell slot.I then proceed to cast mindblank on everyone in the party with my 9th level spell slot to avoid psychic damage for the never 24 hours I then proceed to use every spell slot of my simulacrum's to give my allies a shit load of "aids" (code for the "Aid" spell; my character is the patron saint of pestilence (long story) and joked that this would be the name of the spell). Thus, we're now walking into the final gauntlet with upwards of 300-400 extra health per person. This is a group were we have 6 players, and 2 of those players have 2 characters (long story). Also, I extended spelled these spells to 24 hours so that we could take a long rest to recoup or spells before going.
We were fighting a Basilisk in a dungeon. Basilisks, much like Medusas, can turn you into stone if you both see each other. So what did my party do to defeat it? They used a hand mirror to try and force the Bas to petrify itself. One failed con save later and the epic boss fight to end the dungeon ended in 1 round of combat
I've been subscribed to this channel for awhile now and I haven't had a single Nat20 in the last three months! I DEMAND A REFUND!!
I am getting ready to start what might be the stupidest campaign in the history of RPG's
our tank is a gnome barbarian,
our mage is a minotaur with the head of a moose,
our archer is a blind orc,
our thief is a humanoid squirrel who wheres jewelry as armor,
our bard is a morbidly obese, tone deaf dwarf who thinks he's the best musician ever,
our cleric is a were gerbil who hates people and thinks the bard is a god,
and our BBEG is a ball of lint that was brought to life by a necromancer.
wasn't me but a team member who played a young cute girl who's weapon (if I remember correctly) was a frog that fired out air (Dont ask lol). BBEG was about to wipe the party but this other party member went "wait stop......not like this. It would look so much cooler if you stood by the window, with the moonlight shining behind you it would look SO AWESOME". BBEG "you know what young one? you are right". BBEG then proceeds to the open window, bearing in mind we are fighting atop of a massive tower. Other party member: FUS RO DAH...sent the BBEG flying out of the window to his death.
So as I told when this video was uploaded, I had my first ever D&D session today. It was a "Session 0" to get half of our group to get to know each other and me to get into the rules. This is what happend: My dragonborn sorcerer and our centaur barbarian went on a rescue mission to get a tiefling, I believe cleric, out of a prison the centaur is working in. He tells me she is going to die if we don't rescue her, and calls on an old promise from our connecting backstory. The centaur begins his shift as a guard at the prison as usual and on his walk he tries breaking down the lock of the tieflings cell and is noticed by the fellow guards. 15 min into the session and combat erupts. The centaur, being hit by a guard begins to rage and proceeds to grab his Warhammer with both hands, hitting one guard straight in the head driving its head into its chest. One shot kill. The other guard continues to scratch him with an attack before being crushed by another mighty swing of the Warhammer. One shot kill. Two more guards enter the room, starting to attack the centaur confused about the rumble. The tiefling, brittle, weakened, scared, being tortured her whole life, which she spent in that very prison, meanwhile casts sacred flames at the guards, realizing she might be free soon. The centaur reacts to the entering guards by charging at them in his rage, swinging his hammer from below decapitating one of them. One shot kill. He then proceeds to crush the remaining one in one hit, being reduced to half life by now I believe. I have to mention that all of his attacks were stupid high rolls on AC checks and damage, around 20 most of the time after added proficiency on Lv1. Meanwhile I, the dragonborn sorcerer, was approaching the church which was covering the prison. I entered, encountering 4 guards heading towards the prison entrance. I stayed hidden behind a pillar casting chaos bolt on one of them, reducing him to 1 HP, melting him with acid damage, with him being held together by just pure will. While the guards took cover behind a nearby Altar, surprised by an attack from behind, not seeing what attacked them, I cast fire bolt on a wooden bench to cause a bit of chaos. This was at about midnight so no innocent praying people were harmed. I proceed to set more stuff on fire with fire bolt while the centaur kicks down the cell door, freeing the tiefling. Emerging from the prison depths the centaur carrying the tiefling crushes the remaining guards as expected by now. The tiefling uses healing word on the centaur in battle before I continued doing what I know best: setting stuff on fire. We met in the middle of the burning church, greeting us with a warriors handshake. We emerged from the flames as parts of the church collapsed behind us. All bystanders were in awe, as we made our way out of the city. No one dared to step in our way. It was fucking epic.
Two things to mention:
The church as well as the guards belong to a cult following a possible BBEG, and we just burned his church down.. Oops
Secondly, the encounter was calculated by our DM as lethal, we could have gotten away just talking too. Turns out his HP calculation was a bit off and our centaur is F*CKING STRONG but a bit on the stupid side :D
I am so hyped for our next session, the official start, meeting the rest of our 6 player group, I can't wait! Our DM is such a great person as well, I am so happy to be part of their group :)
Also, please excuse language mistakes for English is a second language to me.
"dice bot" reminds me of a VERY old videogame, the original "Bard's Tale".
"the berserker takes x damage and dies."
"the berserker takes x damage and dies."
"the berserker takes x damage and dies."
"the berserker takes x damage and dies."
"the berserker takes x damage and dies."
...
396 times!
NOT kidding, there are 4 groups of 99 berserkers in that battle, and the game had to display 396 SEPARATE damage results!
Half the comments that aren't stories: "Why was Peach in Hyrule?"
Honestly I'm a bit curious about that myself. If it was Hyrule, shouldn't it have been Zelda's panties that got stolen?
My campaign that time have more than 1 BBEG, and so what the player did is make them meet each other.
and so the player watch how the two BBEG slay each other for their amusement.
Not my campaign but:The party found a Johnny Darksouls Vampire knight wielding a giant flaming cross on a pirate ship. The rogue dropped a bag of ball bearings. The boss rolled a 1 on the Dex save, dm rolled a 1 on severity (Homebrew so it was the was the worse outcome) and rolled another 1 on the ships structure.
The Vampire tripped, dropped the flaming cross on himself, got choked by some chains the cross had and sank into the bottom of the ocean.
Davemakesnoises the Dashing Monster girl wifu of D&D homebrew.
A steampunk mecha....
That's fuckin awsome actually
The party I am playing with once defeated 3 bosses including the BBEG with the same rock.
first session of a homebrew japan campaign. player kills the demon he's fighting in one or two hits because i didn't give the spider demon enough hp
Was the spider demon a jorõgumao
By any chance?
@@Dualbladedscorpion7737 yep. Had her drop from the ceiling, was going to have her talk to him and he just ran up and hit her with a halberd. In fairness his character had been on a boat for years to get to the country and he didn't speak Japanese
Ran the dragon heist, throw the wizard halfling at a rogue during a winter roof chase, wizard grabs hold and pants the rogue just as they jump, rolls a one (the rogue) and dies falling from the roof as the wizard casts feather fall on themselves
Not a DM But a player, day before we went to fight him my friend got a Cloak of the Manta Ray, long story short we drowned him but he was a vampire and they have an ability to regenerate as long as they have access to their burial site or coffin, ended up just burning the house down and be-heading him.
Dropped the entire sydney opera house on the campaign’s final boss from orbit as soon as he made his entrance . We got our dm to drunkenly agree to let our instrument summoning /throwing bard be able to summon it ONCE we eluded to the fact there was something OP that he agreed to over the last few weeks till the day came and we finally revealed what it was with evidence of him saying it was cool . It knocked out the bosses first stages health bar in an instant while also obliterating the battle field
after that we gave this poor high elf kid Oscar some super mind fuckery based cursed objects we’d been collecting the entire campaign ; and then proceeded to throw the kid into the mouth of the now black hole monster the bbeg turned into killing the hive mind it was hooked into saving the wold and taking away one of the main advantages it had in the fight
Followed by the socerer tossing in a spell saving crystal ball at him which he some how fandangled into a blast of 4-5 consecutive fireballs that’s saves were at disadvantage which finished it off
Course we also crashed a sky ship into him before the Sydney opera house
we kinda super cheesed the final boss XD
Reminds me of the Bag of Holding full of spells from another video.
PF1e. Party arcanist Dimensional Slid to BBEG's head (thing was YUGE), proceeds to cast Prismatic Sphere around himself. First 6 effects didnt really do shit. Last effect (violet) essentially decapitated the BBEG, tl;dr. No save, no nothing, just dead. OTK the BBEG, the party then became the deities of the new universe.
I was the Arcanist :)
In my first campaign the bbeg was taking over an area of the local capitol by using the power of his undead army which he lead from a church in the forest, both the diseas of death and his influence were spreading and it was time for the party to step in, in fighting the most powerful undead the bbeg has they attack with an explosion like spell the party is thrown through the ceiling.....three people roll a 1 and so two evil dudes and a pc die because they are impaled on a steeple
I was thrown from a magic carpet
I was playing a dog bard
I’m not joking
what I plan on doing is to revive the guy that my first party burnt, charred, and killed and have him become the BBEG (biggest bad evil guy).
@Addie niiice. Imagine the character's face.
Revenant time!
Funny but that poor dragon.
7:33 bruh
I remember one time I was playing dnd and one of my party members wanted to throw a dead body at the main boss of our adventure and they rolled a nat 1 but picked it back up because it wasn't her good hand used the other hand and got a nat 20 and we all made the dm use the nat 20 and they said ok what's the damage for a flying body
Possible tentacles 🤣😂
Not sure if this works but had fly on my div wiz and specified i was 300ft up. When the young black shadow dragon charged me after i taunted it with the gold i had talen off its hoard, with the bbeg (mindflayer with class levels) on its back, i used my 17 portent to counter spell the wall of force the mind flayer cast at me, and then used my 2 portent and my scroll of polymorph, to turn the dragon mount into a bunny. Now we are 300ft up in the air. So we all fall, become moosh. But my party cleric had cast death ward on me before the fight.... so mind flayer, dragon and me all became mince, with me somehow surviving..... good times
Agree to marry it and join it ruling through universe. My arcane trisker is now the wife of an elder evil. Nat 20s are fun.
Soo... I made my Satyr Druid (her father is a demon and it’s a long backstory) crawl inside a creature made of muck and guck. Casting blight and using her reaction circle of spores ...Which they died from the inside out... I broke the Dm whose my partner as well, he was utterly shocked and thought that I was going to just not solve it the way he intended it to be but I thought outside of the box and just crawled in... I felt bad cause the session ended shortly afterwards.. 😂
Long time no watch.

First! except I’m not and I’m sad instead!
basically, you just explained why i never ever do stories ! anyway, the players are not here for your dm stories... they are here to make their own. yeah i create bbeg with gola,s but i never stick to those bbegs. its way better to create stories with what the players gave you. because what they do cannot be undone by themselves. they will stick to what they gave you. unlike your stories which they will often just take as a challenge to destroy. so basically, make a story yes, but about th eplayers, not about the bbeg you wish would act as say "sephiroth" which, little hint... would never happen without you fuding the god darn thing.
Hint for other DMs out there... remember this well...
your players have seen pretty much every video games and stories as you do, so why do you even try to recreate those knowing your players will just know and do things their way to disrupt that ? thats a big waste of your prep time. just be down with it, stop trying to create massive stories that rely on players doing what you expect, they will never ever do what you expect and if they ever do, it will be by mistake never by choice.
exemple: i was running lost mine of phandelver for the third time with a group of new players, except for one who had already ran the adventure. but loved it so much he wanted to see it again. to get them in, the druid who liked to put every into flames. was expelled by her tribe. but i added this much, the tribe gave her a mission, if she accomplishes it, they will make her part of the tribe again. and thus they required her to go into the triboar trail and find an object that was stolen by orcs. so she got around town, started to ask things about orcs, until she found out that a bunch of them were in the triboar trail and were stealing stuff. she wanted to go there, but the rest of the group wanted to do something else. their own missions, and now the group is forced to remember those missions, which are all part of the adventure by the way, i just gave them a little personnal twist for each characters. but now the group is forced to act as a group. helping each others out to achieve their own goal. see, the players ar emuch more inclined to do their shit or care for your story if it involves them. again moral of the story... keep your players into the story, they are not their to listen toyour shit. they are there, just like you, to play the game and make "their" own stories !
Not a stupid thing and not really the BBEG and kind of morbid I was a cleric my sister a wizard and my friend the DM we just started mines of Phandelver we were all new and we just starting and going against a level 20 bug bear witch means it a mind boss not a kill boss so we had to use are minds we killed some knife Welding baby goblins and I got an idea I grabbed a corpse went in a cave pool (we were in a cave) and made me best drowning voice the bug dear went in to save the baby my sister froze the pool (with me not in it) we went out of the I used that spell that increases my voice shouted and made a cave collapse happy i wasn’t a paladin or I would have lost my powers.
Writers note my sister was very low on HP so we went to a place the DM said would be were she can regain HP but six knife welding baby goblins so that what happened it’s ok if you want to dislike this story.
