Is it important for a DM to do many different voices for NPCs, or can information be conveyed in another way?
Charles Perry
>or can information be conveyed in another way? finger puppets
Jaxson Sanders
Tone and patterns for major distinct characters. Mostly normal except for varying emotion for regular NPCs.
Carter Williams
Guys I'm signed up for a one-shot next week, and it seems there'll be a tranny present. A very, very non-passable masculine tranny.
send help
Bentley Baker
Do you want to get in their pants?
If not, just refer to everyone with their character's pronouns, and you have no problems.
Levi Jenkins
>What are some of your favorite Druid ideals/worldviews that aren't just "I like trees" or "fuck civilization"?
There's an old druid kit based on Merlin (who was a druid in some stories) that casts them as advisors to kings and nobles. Because druids are typically wise and neutral-aligned their advice is respected and they take the opportunity to manipulate people to their own ends. I imagine it would be the kind of druid who casts themselves as wise stewards of nature who use civilized means to protect the balance and not just people who live in the woods and smoke weed.
Daniel Kelly
Prepare to have that game ruined
Landon Watson
You're not protecting nature. You're protecting others FROM nature. You're in a medieval fantasy setting filled with monsters and magic everywhere - nature FUCKS PEOPLE UP. You're there to STOP THEM FROM GETTING FUCKED UP by knowing your shit about nature.
Sebastian Scott
What, you want to have sex with them but don't feel up to it by yourself or something?
Leo Lewis
I have a transgender player. They're pretty chill. Not to say the one in you group could be an asshole, but I wouldn't write them off as a bad player immediately.
Oliver Sanchez
Danse Macabre:
>Targets up to 5 Small or Medium corpses >They stand up as zombies or skeletons, casters choice
Can I use this to debone a chicken?
Tyler Johnson
We have one at my games, we just put up with it Game hasn't died yet
David Lewis
If you CAN do a bunch of different voices, by all means, do so. If not, you can probably spare yourself the effort.
Adrian Miller
>I just can't seem to figure out why people don't like this rotten meat, all I did was magically debone the chicken by reanimating it's skeleton.
Ian Collins
I'm pretty sure chickens are Tiny creatures.
Kayden Rivera
Yep, but I imagine the flesh rots off. Unless the zombies are fresh when they're made and putrefy as time goes on?
Jason Hall
Play as a cleric of Corellon.
Adam Perry
How do you magically debone chickens?
How about a pig, then?
Jacob Rodriguez
There are two transgendered players in my group and they're both consistently the most engaged players and the ones who put in the most effort
Frankly you're setting off more red flags than the person you're describing
Dylan Richardson
>They stand up as zombies or skeletons, casters choice I think it's meant to work like animate dead, where you can only make it a skeleton if you target a pile of bones.
>eating undead meat You're really just begging to catch some kind of horrifying disease or curse there
Liam Price
Okay, first we breed magically enlarged superchickens until the magic becomes an innate part of their being, like with dragons. Now, the chickens are Small size creatures. So we just make their bones boogie out of their bodies.
Connor Hill
>voicemail >Mr. user, this is ZZ Top expy from LGS. Your XGE is in. Good times, lads. Class gets out in 2 hours and then I'll be balls deep in new handbook goodness.
Noah Flores
Don't be "that guy". Also, I wouldn't call them a tranny irl.
Jose Rodriguez
Do you have a gun?
Ryder Bell
Any reason why Bards don't have Power Word Pain when they have literally all the other Power Words?
Xavier Hill
>t. People who take selfies with their mouths open and mustaches freshly waxed.
Jaxon Rodriguez
I guess its because they're used to roleplaying
Hunter Cook

Joshua Howard

Charles Morales
If it's that much of a problem uninvite them because you'd be doing them a favor not having to put up with your bullshit
Nicholas Lopez
Because that would take away from the glory of wizards.
Jeremiah Clark
That might work in theory, but "breed magically enlarged superchickens" sounds like exactly the sort of thing that would inevitably go horribly wrong and require an adventuring party to come in and kill everything.
Christopher Ramirez
Nah, I just don't have autism.
I also play with black people if that triggers you, too.
Eli Green
Pain = damage
Bards can't do direct damage with high level spells
Samuel Reed
Perfect for a level 4 adventure. Pit the party against 2x their number of superchickens and the deranged wizard who bred them.
Would play. Reminds of some of the shit from older RPGs, the farmyard savior.
Thomas Rodriguez
>"breed magically enlarged superchickens" sounds like exactly the sort of thing that would inevitably go horribly wrong That's what the permanently hasted foxes are for.
Colton Morris
>Bards can't do direct damage with high level spells
ahaha says who
Nolan Sanchez
They're not the GM, they just signed up for it.
It's more likely they'd be kicked out half-way through the oneshot.
Lucas Jenkins
Their spell list
Anthony Lee
>what is magical secrets >also what is Mordenkainen's Sword
Carter Jenkins
Probably how they got cockatrices in the first place.
"let's breed a dragon with a chicken so they're bigger. I'm sure the magic won't backfire."
Benjamin Baker
Hexblades just cucked champions!
William Flores
I don't see why prestigitation can't do it
Blake Adams
>You IRL
Topkek.
Autism has significant correlation with liberalism though.
>Play with black people
...and?
Kayden Morris
>what is magical secrets And you can get Power Word Pain with it
Gavin Mitchell
It doesn't deal damage though. It's a control spell. Also, they literally have Power Word Kill and Feeblemind. At 7th level they even have Mordekainen's Sword, as shitty a spell as it is.
Elijah Young
It was meant to be you seeing people not wanting the burn trannies on sight, but oh well
Jason Hughes
>Is it important for a DM to do many different voices for NPCs, or can information be conveyed in another way?
The only time it's important is if you're doing voices. Doing voices is, in itself, totally superfluous to a well conveyed story but if you're going to do voices than you need to have more than two.
Luke Jones
If you throw a temper tantrum because some random dude who wants to play in your group is trans, you are autistic.
Gavin Rodriguez
I actually have nothing against them, just you virtue signalling numales who had to leap to their defense.
Ryan Flores
>no twohander yeah no
Wyatt Carter
READ
Brody Martinez
Yet you're the one being severely autistic here. No one is forcing you to to play with them. Go outside and chill out.
Aiden Young
Wait wait wait. Sickening Radiance deals 4d10, 1 level of exhaustion and makes it invisible for the creature to go invisible? Holy shit that sounds OP.
Brandon Price
Tell the DM that you won't play with abominations.
Robert Parker
It's basically what happens after a nuclear detonation.
Parker Phillips
*makes it impossible for the creatures to go invisible
Ryder Parker
>I actually have nothing against them
>Hey guys, I have a goddamn tranny joining my group god help me. >Trans people aren't bad players so you should be cool. >YOU'RE ALL VIRTUE SIGNALLING NUMALES, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THEM YOU HIPSTER LIBERAL FAGGOTS.
Jace Scott
>What are saving throws
Leo Diaz
That sounds awesome. What is it and where do you get it?
Anthony Campbell
I wouldn't be surprised.
Zachary Morgan
non-passable hon was the worst most outwardly aggressive and passive-aggressive player I've ever sat down with, stupid big chip on xirs shoulder and just got worse and worse when nobody rose to xer bullshit.
terrible player too, all xhe ever did in character (human fighter, female) was rape all the barmaids, and I mean, literally forced them rape.
Charles Sanchez
If you had no problem with them than wouldn't you also be one of these supposed nu-males you speak of based on the replies
Nolan Ramirez
As one of the other people "leaping to their defence" I figure that unless they're interested in them sexually, the only reason to complain about them being transexual is knowing what pronouns to use. Hence suggesting using their character's ones instead.
Brody Nguyen
no you
Adrian Gonzalez
Am I missing something, or am I rightfully glad that with XGE druids now get something to do on their turn other than "I'm gonna continue concentrating and move away from the enemy"
I'm a level 4 moon druid, and if I didn't have wild shape, I feel like thats all encounters would be. Even looking at higher levels, the amount of non concentrate spells is astonishingly few.
Alexander Cox
Still that's a bit much for a 4th level spell, don't you think? Specially considering it can last up to 10 minutes with concentration.
Sounds more like a 5th or 6th level spell to me...
Andrew Green
for what reason
Nicholas Jenkins
4th level, 1 action, 120ft range, Concentration up to 10 minutes
Luis Bailey
Sure, just use a bonus action to command the zombies/skellies to take the bones out of the chicken.
Matthew Flores
you mean chick some random chick
Daniel Cooper
>nuclear detonation >It's on the warlock's list.
Oh damn, now I kinda want to make a warlock whose pact is with a nuclear bomb.
Luke Reyes
>Transexual player Do I see you shiver with antici
Anthony Nelson
Daily reminder that Deus vult paladins are canon.
Nathaniel Martin
Nah, dude is gender neutral. Even then there's Mtf and FtM.
Honestly the gendered stuff doesn't really come up that much. As long as they know you're cool and making an effort, they appreciate it.
Wyatt Mitchell
we've obviously met different trannies
James Allen
Because if they're needing to come ask Veeky Forums how to act around them, they're likely to insult them. Like calling them a tranny for one.
Regardless if you view this from a "don't be intolerant of them" or a "transexuals get pissed off by anything" point of view, the result would be the same. The player says something, the other player gets upset, the original gets asked to leave.
Nicholas Walker
SAY IT!
Wyatt Lee
I see this guy come up too often here and i gotta ask: Wut?
Colton Wood
...
Camden Robinson
Hmm, don't care much for spells that stick to an area rather than a creature, but 30ft ain't bad.
Levi Kelly
oh they as in the OP not they as in the tranny faggot hon
got it
Ryder Barnes
Nah, if you call them "trannies" that might mean you were just a prick. It's one that to say she instead of he and say "my bad I meant he". It's another thing to say Lisa instead of David without making an effort.
Don't get me wrong, there's always going to be assholes of all stripes, but most of my group is from a large city outside of my small town, so I get a pretty good amount people from all backgrounds. At the end of the day people are just people regardless of anything. I've even had a good friend and play who unironically worshiped Kek and another in the party who was Wiccan and gay. Their characters even had a Bromance.
You just gotta quit being weird and viewing people as ideas and speak to them on an individual level. That's the key to not being "that guy".
Julian Cooper
You've never seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show, user? You should-it's pretty goofy, and it's got Meat Loaf in it.
Elijah Thomas
Do yourself and watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's pretty over the top and funny.
Aiden Butler
Oh right, whoops, yeah.
Brody Cook
Speaking of which, whatever happened to saturday night?
Aaron Allen
Address as whatever sex is being presented at the time. If they get overly mouthy or passive-aggressive, just roll your eyes and say "Since you're just looking for excuses to drive me off I'll just leave"
Luke Reed
>If you don't call a man a woman, you're an asshole Ask me how I know you're from America. Specifically, Commiefornia.
Adrian Lopez
>Veeky Forums and /Pol/; When Boards Collide
Luis Butler
...
Ryan Powell
You're saying that, in a D&D thread?
If you take the viewpoint that they're just pretending, then do you also complain about people playing characters who aren't exactly like them in real life as well?
Do you scream when the guy playng a cleric heals your character's wounds because you know he can't actually heal broken legs?
Do you try to ignore giant spiders in the game because everyone knows they couldn't exist due to the square cube law?
If there's any place that "they're just pretending" reason wouldn't matter, it should be around the gaming table.
Kevin Bailey
Fun thread guys!
Parker Rivera
Unless they choose the pact of the blade (like every hexblade probably would) so weapon type isn't restricted. Did you not read the whole entry?
Isaac Sullivan
How's that ranger you can't see in total darkness?
Brandon Gutierrez
Holy slippery slope, Batman.
Aiden Flores
We've fallen right damn off the cliff already.
Lincoln Murphy
Texas. Small town rural Texas, probably done more honest labor in my life than you.
If you call a guy who goes by Joseph "Joey" all the time, then he tells you to stop, and you don't you're an autist lacking social skills. The thing about tabletop RPGs is that they involve social interaction, so if you did that to a player in my group, I'd probably tell you to knock it off. If you didn't stop, and did so many other things equally obnoxious and did it to everyone, I wouldn't invite you.
That's why you're "that guy".
Ayden Morales
You can now ask me how I know you're a tranny as well.
Justin Fisher
It is US thing, i believe? I am eurofag and don't watch TV.
