DnD Pet Peeves

Vengeance is fun. Basically DOOMguy. Rip and tear until it is done!

I’m playing an ancients paladin at the moment. Y’all haven’t known fear until a paladin teleports behind you and says “You’re already dead” as they deliver a smite crit to the back of the head.

Also my DM won’t let me smite with my fists and that makes me sad.

Time to get Brass Knuckles weapon.

Tell him my gauntlets count as an improvised weapon.

Checkmate.

LE oath of Conquest paladin of Bane is HIGH UP on my list of characters to play

I think I saw it earlier but players that come up with things from Dandwiki…
Once had a guy with a dragonknight, he gained a feat every two levels and had a golden dragon pet. Boy I hated it.

I do not mind homebrew classes if you and the DM work together to balance it out. On monday for example I play a Yuan-ti (yes busted race) witch. If it turns up under- or overpowered we start tweaking.

I also have this grand list of characters to play but I dont have enough days to fit campaigns for all of them!

I’ve looked at that site a few times, and oh boy…it really seem to be the central home of -bad- homebrew stuff. Either fanfic characters/creatures poorly adaptated from franchises, or incredibly overpowered subclasses/spells etc.

Use it for ideas for themes and concepts.

Do not use it for mechanics.

One day I want to do a one shot where it’s lv20 and people are encouraged to find the most broken sh!t on the internet that they can and just go hogwild in a battle royale of the gods.

Once did a one-shot with a group of level 21 characters. Aptly named the God one-shot. You could see some absolute insane things being done in that.

Now imagine that but exclusively classes and races from DnDwiki.

If you’re going to include homebrew in your game, talk it out with your players and make it yourself with your players. Just… taking it off the internet and shoving it into your game is a sure-fire way to screw things up.

Yep.

Ordinarily I have a flat ban on homebrew classes, with races being on a case by case basis and depending on setting.

I just want to observe the sheer chaos of everybody being a max level race and class from DandDwiki. Make it a contest to see who can find the most utterly broken character of them all.

I did ask permission and had the DM review my class. Incase he said no I could easily have gone for sorcerer really.

The chaos that would be a level 20 battle royal with Dandwiki classes might be brain melting.

That looks more like a class than a race, what the heck??

I know nothing about DnD and this looks crazily OP to me already. Who thought this is a good idea for a race?

Because that is crazily OP. And half of the stuff on Dandwiki is busted like that.
And someone without a sense of balance or just utterly mad clearly thought it was a good idea…why, I have no clue.

3,5 was the last good edition. 4th was a biblical level of abomination and 5th bears its taint. Onward, what can truly be salvaged?

6th Editions, no stats. Everything is determined by flipping a coin.
