Previously on /5eg/... What kind of magical antics have you gotten up to in your latest campaign?

My DM's letting us swap out racial +2 for our next game. I'm planning to make an Abyssal Tiefling Battlerager with their new spiky feat.

Is this cool or no?

Reposting;

So I am making a neutral good dragonborn Paladin. He is devoted to Tamara, but I am torn on a pretty big choice.

One is making him a Silver Dragonborn who is a Folk Hero. Your usual hero material stuff.

The alternative is making a White Dragonborn Hermit. The idea being that he has desperately tried to cast off his heritage, and has been accepted his God (of mercy, so I thought it was pretty fitting), and have a bit more of a struggle to navigate in social situations, because chromatic Dragon.

But would the second choice be a bit too edgy/snowflake?

Getting turned into an 11 year old girl because of wild magic surges.

This is why Wild Magic Sorcerers are shit. Never again.

The second one is great as long as you don't overdo it. Much cooler than the first idea.

It sounds like you're aware enough to know how snowflakey the second option is. Do you, user.

The 2nd option makes your character's relationship to god more personal. That makes for a better religious character.

Veeky Forums, I'm going to put my party through a unfair encounter. An ambush from their enemies, with a well thought plan to ensure the ambushers have all the advantages on the beginning. Plus it's considered a deadly encounter for my party, but they will be fully rested and with full resources, and they have several powerful magic items in their possession.

My question is, how do I run this in a way my players don't feel like I'm shitting on them, or cheating to ensure something that I might want to happen, etc? How do I avoid a tense atmosphere at the game?

This. Not everyone has to be a Mormon who extols the virtue of his God all the time. Devotion is a very personal thing.

Fudge a few rolls if everything goes TOO well. Don't TPK them before they grt to react.
