Nat 20 with a +4 due to Dex Mod so 24

[quote]Nat 20 with a +4 due to Dex Mod so 24[/quote] With the grace of an acrobatics expert, as you tumble off the cliff your fingers find purchase on a think root of a tree jutting out not far from the precipice of the cliff and you adjust your weight and pull with all the upper body strength your character possesses and you flip yourself back up onto solid earth in a solid three point superhero stance....

trust me some people in dnd are like this. if they can make a throw they will do their damnest to try.

Lol, I’m well aware. I generally always let folks try, but on something like that the DC is generally over a 20. So they never complain that I don’t let them try, it’s just the probability of them succeeding isn’t very high....

Well my group has done some BS stuff via having that done

[quote]Well my group has done some BS stuff via having that done[/quote] As has mine, as a player I’ve rolled my eyes and as a DM I’m sure I’ll roll my eyes too.

Using each other as Spears and such. Fighting a master/ancient vampire level vampire... fighting dragons. generally having BS bad and good luck.

I’ve only had one DM and I listen to Critical Role (Matt Mercer DMing) and they both have influenced me that you don’t want the players to feel they’re getting railroaded. But on the other hand the players need to understand that some of the things they’re asking for is on the scale of ridiculous to BS.....so they need to understand that to pull it off the DC is gonna be [u]high[/u]. So as long as everyone has that understanding from the get go, everybody is gonna have a good time!

[quote]*DM-CHL clears his throat* Ok party, as you all set out on your journey, I need you all to roll a D20! *All players roll, sounds of D20's rumbling over the table* DM says, "Oh my, I have never seen every player roll an initial role that were all Natty 1's.......You all walk off a cliff and die! Great campaign everyone! Now, who is ready for lunch?" *Bernthal raises and eyebrow and levels one finger at the DM...........[/quote] *starts sweating under the pressure of the finger pointing That’s why we have backup characters guys! 😅 #howdoyouwanttodothis

*Bernthal throws down 6 molasses cookies on the character sheets and suddenly the characters revive in our world! He then points at you and says, "He did it!" They turn slowly to face the DM, CHL & draw their weapons slowly....... Xombie bursts in at that point and says, "Hey guys, sorry I am late, I asked Bernthal to cover for me, I got stuck in traffic..........why is my dwarf standing on the table with the other characters, not inside of his character sheet and where is CoolHandLuke......?"

Then to his amazement and horror he watches the characters as he imagined them to look like beginning to formulate as if they were stepping out of a void! Bernthal’s rage burning within his empty sockets and with one side of his mouth curling up into a feral grin I hear him whisper to the unfortunate cliff divers “He did it....” At which I watch in utter horror as the characters with death in their eyes start to slowly make their way at me, weapons drawn...... I sit quietly as they encircle me and then raise high their weapons and staffs to bring down on my exposed neck. As I silently await my fate, shaking a bit and a little pee coming out if I’m being completely honest, I suddenly hear a crack of thunder and as I see their various blades come down to separate me from life, they hit a barrier that suddenly formed around me in the shape of an incorporeal D20! Then just as suddenly arrayed in a defensive circle between me and my players’ characters are what look like 3 Planetars in full battle regalia! I look and their faces and recognize Matt Mercer with his majestic mane of hair flowing as if were defying Earth’s gravity jam his staff into the floor summoning Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere all about me and the other Planetars! Matthew Colville, bearded wonder of the DMing world with the Players Handbook affixed to one arm like a shield and sword in the other! Lastly but certainly not least, Wizards of the Coasts’ very own Chris Perkins with his signature ball cap on and playing with radiant fire as if he himself were creating it from his magnificent presence! Then a booming voice came crashing out of a pillar of fire that said “You have no power here! Back to the lands to which you belong!” And with that, the characters slowly faded to shadow then evaporated..... The pillar of fire floated to over to Bernthal the Great and said “Bernthal, we’ve talked about you doing this kind of thing! As the Old Magic declares, once a D20 Die is cast the characters are bound to live and die by the chances of fate! No one may interfere with that most sacred of covenants!” It’s at this point I notice xombiexronad standing just this side of the door and I heard he take end of something he had been saying “......where is CoolHandLuke?......”
