Wait, the DM wants them to choose between the “two extremes” of “I will murder you” and “I will murder you”?
Must be AD&D/2.0, NGL.

Why adventure when you can be a mule?

To be fair, if the DM allows Gestalt, they deserve whatever you throw at them.
And you’d better expect them to throw the Gygax book atcha, in turn…

By chance, was the campaign setting based off a non-dnd fantasy novel? If so, I might’ve been your DM

You just need access to “Suggestion” spell for easy win on so many situations the DM will start raging real soon.
That said, can I be a dragon, then?

The first one works in a campaign that expects everyone to do the first one (and where the GM does the same for the enemies). Assuming the character is still a character when looking beyond the stats, that is.
I’m into more listening to game. I’ve never actually laid one.
Wouldn’t what you’re describing be pretty pointless. Like super inflation. Okay you’re a millionaire but bread is 1000 so does it really matter?
A game where every character is doing 1500… how is that different from every character doing 15 damage gameplay wise? You can add as many zeros as you want but if we all have those extra zeros isn’t it essentially the same?

Nope, it was based on one of the, I think, 3.5 one shots?

But I worked so hard on writing up the flatumancer subclass!

Do you think the people who make Dr Farts want to play with other people who make Dr Farts type characters? And the people who make 1500 dmg/turn combat monsters, do they want to play with other combat monsters?
I feel like sometimes no. Sometimes people want to be the odd one out. Which sucks, because a group that’s homogeneous on this aspect I think can work pretty well. If everyone’s a combat monster the GM can go crazy. But if there’s just one or two combat monsters, now they have to figure out how to keep it fun for them and also Bob The Fighter that hits for 1d8+2 each turn.
Somewhat similarly, as a character with a good variety of options available in combat, I worry somewhat about the Ranger and Warlock I play with whose turns are pretty much always “I shoot the [x]”, but everyone seems to be having a good time so I guess combat gameplay isn’t really their bag, idk.

Nah. Doctor Fart can do 1499 damage per turn by level 4.
Someone found the middle ground between the extremes

It is a very strong class when you have a fire mage in your team

If anyone wants to do a dr. Farts style campaign let me know. I would love to ref a zany to the max campaign. Be warned that dr. Farts may have to contend with the likes of Detective Vague.

MFW ex quipped that out in that moment when my mind was fumbling to think of complex math problems, baseball commentary, “Margaret Thatcher on a cold day”, etc. for their benefit.
Oh, the sparkle in their eyes was certainly telling, but I’m not sure if they expected it to work quite so well, or so immediately.
FAFO, I guess?

Dear DMs: if you take yourself too seriously, I will murder you.

Rogue is worse. I played a rogue for a while and it didn’t really deliver a great experience. Every combat was “I shoot, move, cunning action hide”.
Scouting was largely outclassed by the wizard’s familiar, and even more so the pact of the chain familiar. Splitting the party is tedious and risky.
One GM tried to make a system to abstract scouting- you’d make some checks and get information and maybe trouble. But that guy liked PbtA way more than me, and it clearly influenced his design, because pretty much every time you used this system something bad would happen. I don’t play these games to be a fuck up. I want to be exceedingly competent in my niche.
I guess some of that is up to individual GM style, but I think some of it is on the system itself.

What are you going to do, fart on them?

I would let you, but only as a lawful good peace cleric
