My old Dm Used to occasionally run a game where everyone rolled a pc that could fit into a cartoon show, and every game was an episode of this cartoon show.

I played an anime inspired character that could turn into a robot for no reason that was ever explained, and sometimes he gained the ability to turn into different kind of robots. The character never shut up about the power of friendship, and had an ever-evolving backstory that made less and less sense as we played more one shots, including:

1. He was his own father somehow
2. he had to go go to the future to make this happen for some reason
3. he was searching for his sibling so that he could stop him from becoming my pc. His sibling was from the future and had travelled back to the past, so that he could kill my pc
4. he could telepathically communicate with plants using the power of friendship. The plants had nothing to say because they were plants
5. his father was some kind of evil god. Somehow he was still his own father. The contradiction was never explained at all
6. There was an orb in his chest that contained the source of all friendship in the universe that he could use to launch friendship based attacks for some reason

There were more details I can’t recall. When I spoke it was always long rambling monologues that sounded like terrible dubbing.

Am definitely surprised by I_Fart_Glitter considering I know them personally lol

Beyond disappointed that none of our resident fart accounts have commented in this thread. Clearly the clarion call of the wind broken by the fart golems haven’t yet echoed deep enough into the halls of lemmy to reach their noses.

Hey don’t leave out my name sibling

A wild sparkly fart appears

The dookomancer Dia Rhea.

(She makes the fart golems that raised OPs Dr. Fart by virtue of her skill in the fine arts of dookomancy)

Edit: Guess what’s in her spellcasting component pouch. HINT: Rhymes with cookie. Now let me tell you about her spellcasting focus! It’s encrusted with magically imbued partially digested corn…

Ah, but you also know that much as I would like to, I have no experience with RPGs.

I’m intimidated by all the rules and details and worry that an old, though sparkly fart like me would fair as well as a boomer trying a smart phone for the first time. ‍️

Rhymes with cookie

Does it really though?

I use “ʊ” for book and cook, and “ju” for duke puke.

Unless your DM is a stickler for the updated 2024 rules, then in that case it can’t, because they changed Twinned Spell to require that the spell let you target additional creatures when cast at higher levels, which Suggestion does not.

People don’t actually play 5.5 right?

The people who want to do 1500 dmg/turn probably want to be playing 3.5

People don’t actually play 5.5 right?

I hate the 2014 rules and actually enjoy the 2024 rules so yeah lol

“So this is my character. Her name is Armpits Esquire and she’s three halfling paladin brothers from a dead order in a trenchcoat. Because of their stacking auras, they are nearly- no, you can continue loading, it gets worse.”

Obligatory link to the song.

In my experience, dr farts is the result of an overabundance of options and lack of foresight. They don’t know what it’d be like, so they try it. Giving players a silly character swap voucher, good for just one session per campaign, solves that. Similar deal for the overjuiced character. (Not usable during story boss encounters)

Once people recognize that the boundaries are there to improve their experience, not detract from it, they usually follow the flow of the game and build on others’ characters. If they don’t, chairs are easy to fill.

Oddly reminiscent of Steven Universe. Is his own mother, who was some kind of (evil?) god, has an orb in his belly button, launches friendship based attacks.
