The spell specifically states that if you choose “an object” (an object being “within an object” such as within a book), the object cannot be moved more than 10 feet without the glyph breaking. However, the spell doesn’t say anything about the movement breaking the glyph when cast on a surface. At the end of the day, regardless, you can just cast the spell inside the bag of holding because the extra dimensional space isn’t moving, just the opening for it is.

She does little talking unless it’s necessary.Currently she’s unwillingly the face of the party...she does it as she seems the most qualified (the bard is high all the damn time), at the end of the night however, she goes to her room alone has a bit of a panic because all that faking just takes a toll. Gradually though she’s getting more used to it.

@@anaccident12 Well, to be fair, almost all people you find in a public whatever pen n paper session are the ones you don't want the meet ever again. Our group tried that out two times cause our usual DM wanted to take part as a player for once. Both times, the DMs we got were fucking horrible strictly-by-the-book people with giant egos. They forbid EVERYTHING that was on the dark side of humor. I tried to play a well-spoken doctor with a split personality, who used the shrunken head of his mentor as a kind of ventriloquist's dummy to hold conversations with himself (much like Mr. Garrison from Southpark) and the DM absolutely lost his fucking mind over that. He called me a psychopath and forbade me to play a character with a background like that, so I had to cut the mental illness part. Both DMs went on to simply ignore very expensive stuff from character creation that changed the outcome of their campaign in a way they didn't think of beforehand, so they pulled something completely out of this world out of their arses to stop that from happening. For instance, I managed to become the personal doctor of a town mayor (had to deal with a lot of dumb bullshit from the DM to get into that position). When the DM became unhappy with me for having a reliable source of income for our group, he just let the mayor drink a cup of poisoned wine handed to him by one of his arch enemies without even thinking twice, who had tried to kill him MULTIPLE times before at this point. When the mayor was lying on the floor in pain puking out blood, his bodyguards wouldn't let me through to him to give him the antidote I had prepared just in case, because "the antidote could've been poisoned". Didn't matter that I put almost all my points into being good at persuading people, cause the bodyguards were "too stubborn" for something like that. No throws were allowed. After that, I got sued by the mayor's wife for not saving her husband and I had to pay back twice the amount of money I had earned in that job, which coincidently had been about as much money as our group had in total at this point, so we couldn't afford what we were saving money for all this time anymore. At the end, they wanted some feedback from us. We listed all the incidents with extremely faulty logic and also added that we felt like there hadn't been enough freedom for the players and too much sudden bullshit happening just to artificially bring us back to rock bottom. The answer was "Accepted. Next time you can simply be the DMs yourself. Bye." We don't play that often, but fuck me, I'd rather set myself on fire than having to deal with those idiots in public sessions ever again.

The first time me and my group played dnd one of them was the dm but also wanted to play. His character was essentially a demigod with really high stats. It was then that me and another in the group knew what had to be done. Perform a kumbaya, which was our code word for "we have to kill this teammate". The deed was done. It was everyone's first time playing and eventually we got the hang of dnd and had players that got into dming. Still a group today, though covid has meant that we couldn't play in person. So for anyone that believes making an op godlike character is a good idea, watch out for kumbaya.

In a Halloween one-shot we played where we were going to Strahd's castle, we were greeted at the entrance by a bunch of vampire spawn who demanded we solve a riddle before we could enter. The changeling in the party morphed himself to look like a vampire spawn himself, went up and was all hey I'm one of you, let me in. Vampire spawn asked who he was. Response: "Richard, from accounting." Succeeded his deception roll. The vampire spawn decided to escort him "to management." Then suddenly I (human fighter) riding the centaur cavalier charged the straight line the vampire spawn made, hitting all of them including the changeling. Then the druid decided to wildshape into a giant squid through a misreading of Moon Druid's rules, grab another player, go down the 80 foot cliff "moat" to offer the unfortunate sacrifice to the kraken down there saying "I've come to bargain." We set a kraken on a vampire lord and ended up killing them both. We were level 3.

The problem comes when most of the people at the table aren't amused by someone's repeated "clever" use of spells or mechanics. It's at that point I break out the rule-lawyer book. When that doesn't work, I usually say "If I let you get away with this, the enemy will also begin using it. Who wants that?" and let them vote on it. Ties go to the naysayers, votes that pass put players on the lookout for chicanery, and things stay where everyone is included, nobody finds anything too bizarre, and nobody accidentally decapitates their boyfriend's character with a mimic disguised as a ring case.

Also, the nightmare for DM o balance encounters: either the Optimizer steamrolls over everything or the Suboptimals get smashed. Played like this - never again. It is possible ot have an optimized build with lots of character, but somehow they're often viewed as exclusive (hence: "I will not take the good trait because I am all about RoLePlAy" attitude). If you have an Optimizer in party, they will usually happily help others to build their fluffy chars in a way that works well mechanically at the same time. I play with someone who's really good at builds so I just say "hey, I want to do xyz" and he tells me my mechanical options. I get to play my dream whatever-it-was AND am more effective at that!

Literally Jotaro recruiting Kakoin from JoJo

My character kind of has this type of edgelord background with a lot of details, but the empire he served was destroyed by a demon and all of it means basically nothing, so when he walks up to someone and says "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK THAT WAY TO AN INQUISITOR OF THE VALE EMPIRE!" everyone just goes "The _what_ empire?" and then he starts crying inside. It's actually really fun because the rest of the party are a bunch of goofs with him being the only serious character, and his seriousness is constantly undercut by him being a wandering Crown Paladin with no crown to serve and no empire to protect, so he's a literal Hobo Knight who goes around shoving the doctrine of a dead empire down everyone's throat with everyone telling him to shut up and stop being such a mudstick. My group loves it. One of them compared him to the President from Rick and Morty. Always trying to be the baddest ass in the room, but constantly getting pantsed.

Here's the thing with "half" characters getting all the traits of each half: if someone is only half aasimar or half kalashtar, would it not make sense that they would only get *half* the traits of each? Or even all the traits, but half as effective? Or even hardly any of the traits, because their lineage is too thin on both sides? I can see a half-aasimar essentially just being a slightly glowy human and a half kalashtar simply being a telepathic human. Not a super soldier with all the best bits of both. Someone I know played a half-elf half-dwarf (a dwelf). He had all the WORST traits of both races rather than all the best. He was short, but not sturdy. Skinny, but not dextrous. Bearded, but not impressively bearded. He was weak, light-sensitive, and honestly a really lousy father to his adopted daughter (although I don't think that had anything to do with the race). I'm not sure why I brought it up, but I will say this: I'd rather play in a party with a dwelf than a kalashamar.

i mean use those stats, but change their backstory and attitude paladin monk aasimar sounds perfect actually my suggestion, make them a party animal who can't stop dancing and drinking except they are ashamed of it and they want to stop so they are a paladin monk who struggles with excessive partying, they are a paladdin monk who has to follow religious laws and orders so he will be like 'my partying doesnt hurt anyone so its not evil, but it's against the monk order to get drunk and/or against the paladin discipline to be dancing all night with bar people and bards ... everyone will love that character and the other players will party with you into oblivion and/or help you recover i promise PLAY THIS CHARACTER paladin monk aasimar is cool AF just change their backstory and motivations this person is edgy and conflicted but in a real and believable way that doesnt exile the other players, the beauty of something like this is you can play anything ... human fighter or elf wizard and give them a realistic flaw to overcome .... people love an underdog with a problem

Found your Channel yesterday, I love it!

Something about "Silvery Moon Platoon and 12th in line for the Dunedain" really makes my brain feel good. Also, I really like the phase of Jacob's comedy where he was doing the scream and disappear thing. I still crack up at that.

Me being DM and a character: a wizard who stole scrolls from his college and is a bit too boastful. My friends character: a undead human who came from a tribe of gnomes that saved him since he was attacking a goblin and is now seen as their chosen one, all while having amnesia an a backstory being slowly revealed to him, and who is also a blood hunter.

Yeah.....it wouldn't work because if you move the glyph farther 10 feet away from where it was cast the glyph is broken...there's not really a way around it, because the inside of the bag of holding is a different dimension so once you drop a coin inside, the spell is broken. If you stipulated that it's still in the same reality, then once you move it further than 10 feet, the spell is broken. Even if you jump inside the bag of holding to cast the spell (thus not moving the item further than 10 feet away from where you cast it), once you've removed the coin it would be farther than 10 feet away from where you cast it......and the spell would be broken.....he also got the rules for Catapult wrong.
