Have you ever made a character who's father was secretly

>>52925238
No. It's my fetish. If I didn't I won't be able to get off.

All of them. Mainly because, 1/3 were warfroged, two were kobolds (so they don't even remember there father), and the rest were either tribals, or one of the lizardfolk that don't even have males to begin with.

>>52925238

Yes.

It was fucking amazing.

>5e Campaign

A kingdom of dragonborn?

>>52925987

Yup.

DM doesn't like Dragonborn fluff so it's just 'like Tieflings but for history's first scalies'. Pop is, like, 30-40% Dragonborn but they're most of the nobility and knighthood and the entire royal line. Humans are next most populous, I don't think more detailed stuff has come up yet.

I made a character once who was a Highwayman rogue\ranger\bard kinda mix, I can't remember specifically, but it was heavily implied that he was the bastard son of a king, considering his mother was a whore in a brothel that the king was known to frequent while in disguise.

It was meant to be ambiguous bit of fun, but my GM hated it, refused to give my character any kinda time to talk about\flesh out any kinda intrigue about it anyway - he ignored all plot, and my character in general.

That is until we we're supposed to rescue a princess from some bandits, and since I was overconfident as a personal character flaw, I took last watch, tied all the other characters shoelaces together, and set out before first light, so as to rescue the princess first and woe her with courtly romance. I still planned to share the reward, actually would've given up my share, but I was fairly certain I could handle a dozen bandits on my own, and romancing a princess was sort of a storybook dream of his.

It wasn't bandits, and there was no princess. It was an special ops force of bugbears kitted out with pavise shields and crossbows, attacking a kingdom gold mine. Not only did I get rekt, but I was also captured and then tortured to death.

This was session 1.

sounds like you made the DM pretty mad.

>>52925238
Yes. I have made a character who's Father is a margrave and everybody knows it.

That's not secret.

It was getting awesome, but then it didn't.
