JUST LET YOUR PLAYERS BE AWESOME SOMETIMES
I know it’s frustrating if your player is a golden god at dealing with some types of situations which defeat your effort to make a challenge for them, but this is one of the cheapest and easiest ways you can enable them to have fun in your game. There will be other situations which present genuine challenge, but it doesn’t all have to be super hard. It is okay to let them flex.
What’s the point of the mechanics including badass abilities if you’re gonna get all frustrated if your players start to become badass sometimes
Yeah, probably so. I’m just slightly concerned that maybe someone will read someone else joking about just using all stuff with CON saves instead, and think that it is for real and that is the way.
For reference, I definitely did mean my comment as a joke, and I hope folks know that I am not advocating for this DM vs player style of gameplay.
P.S. how do you make an instance agnostic comment link?
I agree! There are limits to it all, but its up to you as a dm to make it fun for everyone and letting players flex is included in it! I have a lvl 5 paladin the dm has huge issues hitting and its hilarious sometimes! That said, i cant hit for shit so this makes it fun for the dm as well. My team mates have once just looked at me and the last skeleton warrior duke it out while the rest was dead. It couldnt hit me and i was constantly missing my attacks. We were all laughing our arses off haha
No, but it can get me to uncanny dodge.
Poison gas cloud with con save
Fuck it, spells with CON saves only from now on
The whole planet implodes
Rogue: 20 + 8 DEX save
Everyone else is dead and everything is gone, rogue “wins”.
