#Intelligence dump stat

[elisabethdeep-blog]

My last three dnd characters have had massive buffs to Persuasion and insight and been dumb as a box of rocks. No fun etymology facts here, just intricate and infallible knowledge of the labyrinthine human (or elf, etc) soul. She can't pronounce polysyllables but she can sell a bicycle to a fish.

Embarrassingly transparent.

The Krew works out together, usually honing a particular skill that they wish to work on (agility, weight lifting, defensive maneuvers, etc). Gideon is always extremely excited about it, and as the only one who's actually into fitness, he likes to hype up everyone especially when they beat their PB.

He'd never admit it but seeing Gideon happy is the reason Kremy actually gives a shit rather than phoning it in. The rest, while it's a bit of a struggle, do enjoy having a skill to get them out of a bind.

Hootsie gets put in a little coach outfit too, she's not helping really but isn't she cute???

I was just thinking again about how much I love the idea of D&D Elizabeth/Darcy as a sorcerer/wizard spellcasting duo.

I particularly like storm sorcerer Elizabeth/abjuration wizard Darcy, with Elizabeth as an offensive powerhouse and Darcy a defensive one, and both kind of judgy about each other, yet sorcerers are famously (in fact definitionally!) versatile and a skilled wizard is scary at the best of times.

(Elizabeth is always ready to use Silvery Barbs and Hold Person against Jane's foes and Darcy carefully prepares Lightning Bolt every morning.)

it's very difficult to tidy up your desk when you have a neurotic dog who must be in physical contact with you at all times in case you turn into pure energy and disappear down the power lines idk how his mind works

The funniest part of my Druid in D&D being the fight/stealth strategist for almost all our battles/missions (literally the person the whole party turns to look at when someone says “we need a plan”) is she lost all her memories to the faewilds…..5 months ago.

Our master battle strategist has less life experience than a toddler.

a dump stat being the ability score you always put the lowest number into, the one you embrace always rolling low for no matter what. mine is strength, because i can never build anything other than absolute nerds that will never break a grapple to save their life

If Orin had a scroll of undead could she use that on Connor. I mean...hypothetically and for no reason at all.

I don’t think so after having checked the necromancy spells for undead??? But what I DO SURE DEFINITELY KNOW IS IF she changed classes and became a necromancy wizard for the 14th level benefit—

Or or OR hear me out—a magical item we can just bullshit and make up that she can attune to that gives her that feature

You might be wondering "but is Shadowheart in the party when you're in Grymforge?" and the answer is...YES. And she keeps saying things like THIS while not saying that she's a Sharran.

Our family (me, co-parent, 2/3 children) have started playing an in-house D&D game, and it has begun to bleed into our regular conversations. The one we have the most often goes like this:

Child: Mama, where is [THING]? Me: (spotting it on the counter 18 inches away) Roll a perception check. (Child scans the entire room, fails to find it.) Child: Mama, I still can't find it. (I hand her [THING].) Child: Oh! I must be rolling with disadvantage. Me: Sweetie, I feel like you're rolling a D4 on your perception checks, can you at least upgrade to a D10? Child: I'll try for a D6 at least!

I want Eddie and the Party finding out that Steve would have joined them a whole lot soon if it wasn't for that shitty DM.

Steve only refusing to play DnD because he tried once with some other DM and they were so overwhelmed by his solid intuition, his knack for spotting set ups and teeny details that other members of the Party were missing, that they have a go at him for ruining all the planning they did cause he ruins it by spotting it all before the party can run head first into shit Street.

A really bad DM basically. So now in his infinite bitchiness, he just calls it nerd shit as petty revenge when he actually really enjoyed keeping his party safe.

And Eddie eventually through trial and error through attempting Steve's hobbies with him, bringing him back around cause hes so fucking psyched to challenge Steve's wisdom stats like BRING IT BIG BOY he's foaming at the mouf.
