Hey /tg/ long time Str martial player here, I need your help.
I'm making my first rogue in an upcoming 5e campaign, And need to know ways to be creative with a dexterous mentality and fighting style.
DM is a long time cool dude, always fairly open to us doing stunts and tricks if we roll high enough, did plenty of grappling, throwing, pushing, and general brute shit in the past, but this is my first Dex style character.
Any tips or cool things youve done or seen rogues do in your campaign? any fun ways to abuse the tool proficiency or sneak attacks?
You can always pin people to things with throwing daggers or be streetwise although thats more a general way of thinking than anything else. Always try to be thinking on how to make money.
>>54933666
in theory can a thief archtype use their action to throw dust or sand in someones face and the sleight of hand bonus action to remove the weapon from their hands?
>>54933677
I doubt you can sleight of hand someones weapon considering it is something they are actively holding rather than something you can sneak away from them.

How does your character deal with invisible enemies?

Always fight the enemies in your mind as you would fight them outside it.
A better borderline off topic line would have been "What's the fastest you've ever gave up and wrapped up a campaign without just dropping rocks on everyone?"

"Let me tell you about a good friend of mine, let's call him Mike."
"Once upon a time, me and Mike found a bunch of books in my grandmother's attic while we were helping clean out her house."
"Mike was the first one to notice the glyphs inside the books, and the letter she'd left me."
"She said in so many words that she was sorry she was never around us. Too many enemies. Too many risks. Typical crazy granny stuff."
"Then the notes says she's leaving me books on magic, and to keep them secret. She didn't teach my dad, because... well, to be blunt, she was afraid dad didn't have the humility to know when to back off and that'd he'd kill himself."
"I thought it was a joke. Then Mike tried out a spell to make a little ball of light- basically, a wizard's reading lamp."
"It worked. Floating, blue little ball of light, not warm, but bright."
"Seeing as how I would have ignored the books if it wasn't for him, of course I shared."
"That's what friends do, right?"
"There was so much crazy shit we could do. Fifteen and we were wizards. Didn't even have to remain virgin until we were 30, and for Mike, that ship had sailed already."
"I mean, the notes she left said to leave the bigger stuff for later- we didn't have the mana or the capacity to use them."
"But we could move things with our minds. Heal ourselves. Create and dismiss fire. Tell if someone was being truthful just by looking at them."
"She warned me- us- over and over in the notes, not to reveal it to anyone. I guessed with one friend in on it, that was pushing it already."
"But there were subtle ways to use the power."
"There was a bully we had, Andrew. Superintendent's son. Could get away with murder. We wanted to set him on fire or Darth Vader tk strangle him. Mike really wanted to do that last one. I had a better idea."
"There was a spell called Physical Ward. The gestures for it look like some sort of goofy martial arts pose. You can take a couple of whacks with an aluminum baseball bat without getting hurt before it goes down, and it dented the bat."
"So when Andrew was doing his usual thing- knocking down smaller kids and stomping on their heads, I made a few comments about how that was wrong, how he should pick on someone his own size, and that his mom gave great ass-to-mouth."
"He ignores the kid at his feet- a weak little kid, twig-thin, glasses broken, coughing and bleeding, and starts coming at me. He stopped when I did the motions for Physical Ward, looking at me like I'd lost my mind."
"PW as we called it didn't have any recognizable visual effect. To everyone looking at me, I was doing weeaboo bullshit that would get me killed."
"Then he punched me."
>>54932730
"He held his hand screaming for a few seconds before he used his good hand to try and punch me again."
"And yes, hearing his fingers break a second time was just as satisfying as the first."
"Now, Mike had the right idea, wrong execution. I put my hand on his throat and used telekinesis to push him against the wall while I squeezed with both my hand and tk."
"Now, everyone will tell you I was just a badass who held him there until he started turning blue, but truth was, I had all these one-liners, threats, and taunts, and I just couldn't choose."
"So I let him go, and told him if I ever saw him hurt anyone ever again, I'd break him in two."
"Little bitch shat himself."
"Then of course Andrew told his father, and his father bitched out the principal, and of course, the fact that Andrew had sent three guys and one girl to the hospital that year for shit like not having enough money when he shook them down meant jack squat to the school."
"I got expelled."
>>54932836
"Now, to me, that was funny. Because my parents heard the principal's side of the story- where I launched an unprovoked attack on a defenseless honor student- and then they watched the youtube video of Andrew grabbing a random kid from a table and beating on him, then stomping on him until I came along."
"Dad called a lawyer. Mom called the kids Andrew had hurt. The expulsion stood, and I went to an alternate school during the legal mess. It was rough, but watching the school go from 'he's a complete monster who attacked an innocent student' to 'well fighting is unacceptable' to 'oh please don't sue us into oblivion' was funny."
"Mike... didn't see it that way. At first, I thought he was jealous or angry at me. Then he told me he was angry because he learned something from how I was treated."
"That no good deed goes unpunished."

Feedback on my latest hobby contribution?
My players are basically town guards in a low fantasy setting. I'm looking for ideas to throw at them. Gangs, unpleasant goings on, corruption scandals, etc. Any ideas are appreciated.
Some background: Their town is pretty small and out of the way, but has some trade going on at the docks and some pretty fertile farmland. A war has devastated most of the rest of the country, so these crops are important.
The country has a ruling class that invaded and conquered a few generations ago. Think the Normans, but Slavic. They've been oppressing the natives, and so anyone working with the government is kind of suspect. Unfortunately the players have been sort of forced into it, so they have to deal with those trust issues. Rebel groups do exist that fight this government, and they're woven into some of the crime organizations in the town.
If anyone is familiar with the Tattered Realms, it's Krajina.
http://tattered-realms.wikia.com/wiki/Krajina
Any ideas at all would be appreciated.
>>54932054
my players would instantly seek out ways to indulge in corruption if they were forced into guard duty, maybe play off that somehow?
>>54932054
Burn the damn village to the ground in a raid both showing the Players that there will be no status quo to be had and set them on an unending cycle of revenge that will either forge them into heroes or damn the to something worse than what burned their homes down in the first place?

How did your party stumble upon their biggest hoard of treasure? What was guarding it and how did they kill it?
First for HAIL ASMODEUS
>>54931394
The DM gave our lvl 1 party of five his setting's equivalent of 5000gp and a bag of holding session 1. Shit wasn't even guarded yo.
>>54931406
HAIL!
>>54931394
The only treasure horde we really got in our last adventure we actually missed. We were trying to get to a town in the underdark and out of the gnoll cave, and we missed 4K in gold.
Needless to say, we're much more exploratory now.
That said, the DM HATES shopping, so gold is kinda meh outside buying equipment. I'll probably start hiring meat shields once we get en ough money.
So, I'm making a character for un upcoming 5e game this weekend, but haven't decided on a name. What is a good name for a Red Oni Barbarian
>>54931310
Ching Chang Chong Bing Bong
Go on google translate, and look up the Japanese word for certain concepts like "Violence" or "Heroism" or whatever fits your character.
For instance lets say he was called
Ketsueki Bōryoku, which according to google literally means "Blood Violence"
>>54931310
Since when does 5e have an oni player race?
Cool OP picture though, I dig it. Appropriately terrifying.
Childhood is playing Magic: the Gathering.
Adulthood is realizing buying and selling makes more sense.
>>54930893
Invest in something more valuable and less embarrassing, like Beanie Babies.
I won't lie and say it wouldn't be cool to live off of being some kind of M:tG or other collectible day trader, but applying that dedication and follow through to something like ACTUAL trading, such as stocks or forex would be MUCH better. Not only do you always have an open market, but the commodities are far less volatile.
Sure it won't be as interesting and is probably much harder to learn, but it's far more lucrative and far more legitimate. If, by some freak accident, M:tG just dies as a major game, you are SOL.
>>54930893
Who is this autist?
No I'm not shilling, it already met the goal. Not surprising considering this shit looks awesome.
