Posts that start out with "Honest Question" never are honest questions.

There are legitimate reasons to prefer other games over the D&D milieu, but the most outspoken hate comes from people who just hate things that are popular.

Yes. Otherwise, the players will get mad when they can't engineer their way out of it.

>>53373855
How do you understand how a magical trap works?

A fresh set of socks
A dragon dildo
And one unit of bogroll

A gun

Uhh
A shotgun and a gas can.
Things go to crap drop the gas can and shoot it.

Can take down anything less of pyramid head.


Other than that, what kind of monsters are you fighting?
Small hordes or powerful monsters?

These questions are paraphrased from writer Audrey Niffenegger, and can apply to TTRPGs as much as they do actual fiction writing. The more you answer, the better idea you'll have of the character's personality and history.

During game play, because it never turns out like you autisticly wrote down beforehand.

Look at various forms of personality type charts, like Zodiac signs, blood types or MBTI. Even if you feel like they're just superstitious bullshit, they usually provide various archetypes for you to choose from. Listening to music might also give you inspiration, especially if you listen to the lyrics.
If you're looking for more specific personality quirks, my experience has taught me that you can't really force those well. They'll just come naturally as you write more of the character (or in case of RPGs, play them more).

That or just google some "100 questions about your RPG character" thing, that will force you to come up with a backstory to answer all questions.

I like Far East/SEA, but I don't like anime.

Interesting idea. I'll give it a shot.

You are GMing a campaign and one player seems to always have a trick up his sleeve to get out of the situation you have the players in without much trouble. You've double-checked the rules and determined that he isn't breaking any of them nor ignoring any restrictions. He just really knows the system, better than you do in fact. Most of the other players are content to let him play his min-maxed character and do what he does. However, a lot of his actions have thrown a wrench into your ideas about the general direction the campaign is going in. What do you do?

>>53373667
How is that a dilemma?

>>53373691

Whats the best way to stat out a war wagon full of orcs to fight my party? My party will be on foot and I'm thinking there will be about 6 orks in the wagon with bows and swords shooting out. The wagon will be powered by goblins turning the wheels or will be pulled by some boars.
Do I just stat the orks inside or should I stat out the war wagon as one entity?


I couldn't find anything on enemies fighting from carriages

>>53373501
If at any point they're gonna get out of the war-wagon, stat them each.
If they're just gonna fight in it and you're gonna have it blow up when it's defeated, just stat the wagon.

Stop playing RPGs. They're clearly not for you.

Just make a magic weapon of some sort and make it plot relevant.

if you have celestial kirin and kami of the painted road on the board and you play a torii watchward can you give the kami protection from white so that it doesn't explode?

what about protection from creatures?

if i have celestial kirin in play with a 3cmc creature and i play bestow an eidolon of countless battles onto the kirin that doesn't trigger the kirin ability right? when you bestow the eidolon it doesn't count as a spirit? and it wouldn't trigger if that creature died and the eidolon falls off because it doesn't count as being played?

>>53373417
Jein. You CAN give your Kami protection from white; both the Kirin and the Kami are your permanents, which means you control their triggers. Since both triggers are wanting to go onto the stack at the same time, you can stack them as you like, having Kami's trigger resolve first to give pro-white, THEN Kirin's trigger resolve.

This will not save your Kami, because protection does not stop global destruction events. Protection stops DEBT: Damage, Enchant/Equip, Block, Target. Celestial Kirin is not attempting to do any of those things to the Kami, so Protection won't save it.

Bestowing won't trigger the Kirin. Bestow makes it into a noncreature spell, which means it can't have creature subtypes (since it's not also Tribal). It won't trigger Kirin when it converts from an Aura to a dude, for the reason you said- you didn't cast anything. It just changed what it looks like.
