What are the risks and challenges of playing a dwarf as Danny DeVito?

>>48748803
Fuck you I'm stealing that idea for my next character, A dwarven Druid who goes by the monicker "The compost man"

>>48748803
You might get confused for an otyugh.

>>48748832
I can't blame you. I really need this character in my life.

>risks
Players/GM might think you're That Guy.

Finding the balance between being Danny DeVito to the point that it's disruptive and not being Danny DeVito to the extent that you aren't really playing a dwarf as Danny DeVito.

Any case where you borrow a character or celebrity as the inspiration for your character, and are blatant about it, you REALLY have to walk a tightrope unless the campaign is a pure comedy one or it's some weird thing like a superhero whose power is being possessed by some historical or mythical badass.

Finding enough TREYSH to eat and disposition loss of NPCs are you roast a bone in front of them.

Being the trash man

How Danny are you trying to DeVito?

>>48748803

That's not a PC, that's an antagonist for a creepy yet humorous sidequest.

Always sunny out of 10. I was thinking utterly repugnant but strangely charismatic support class?

Play the most greedy, abusive, and unhelpful cleric.

>>48748905
How about a bard who staggers around trying to sing and dance and everyone just laughs, only nobody is sure if they're laughing with him or at him because they're all afraid to ask if he's serious or screwing around, but it always inspires them to fight better?

Insufficient gold to pay the troll toll.

That's not a dwarf

That's a fat goblin

Agree with this. Always sunny devito is more of a pinkish goblin. Frank is utterly repulsive.

>>48748803
Very hard, since Devito is actually entertaining

>>48748979
He just wants to be pure.

>>48748932
Throw in enough get rich quick schemes and that could work.

>>48748987
Also this. Devito is probably the best part of always sunny.

Risks: Playing chaotic neutral/evil like every other That Guy

Rewards: Playing the best chaotic neutral/evil

Does anyone have screencaps from that thread of The Gang playing D&D?
That thread was pure gold.

Oh what a show. Give me a damn chip!

>>48750092
NO YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE FOR CHIPS

>>48748803
The risk is, you're likely not as funny as DeVito.

Be aware that the failure mode of "clever" is "asshole".

>>48748803
We've got a guy making a barbarian on our upcoming 5e campaign that's gonna use tavern brawler for "improvised weapons", then run around throwing trash at people and eating it with his high fort save. It'll either be great or awful, but I'm excited to find out.

>>48750309
Depending on the number of barrels you find on the road you might just be making PICA Race Bannon.

>>48748803
you'll have donkey brains

Let's break it down

>obscenely rich
>but hates it

>always packs heat
>rarely pulls it out

>generally manipulative
>but also easily outsmarted by borderline retards

>regularly eats cat food and beer for a nightime snack
>does mountains of drugs without behest
>lives past 70


You're talking about some kind of charismatic, elderly rogue who has negative INT, and more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

Probably best off playing a straight thief who perfers subtlety but resorts to felony in a tight spot.

>>48748803
The thing is, an adventurer (a dwarf adventurer, among that) would most likely own a toe knife, and it wouldn't creep anybody out

>>48748803
who cares, think of the rewards

The risk of becoming the greatest in all the realms

This is fairly good advice in general, thanks friend

What other celebrities or TV characters can you think of to base characters on?

I'm playing a half-orc barbarian who's basically Chang from Community right now. So far, the DM and the rest of the players love it.

>>48748803
This idea is fucking awesome and there is no risk to it, fucking do it.

>>48748803
Your shitty leftard politics would be out of place in a pseudo-medieval Tolkien ripoff, which is the setting I assume you're playing since you have dwarves.
