#just for a DC 7 LOCKPICKING CHECK. FUCK.

[warlordfelwinter]

losing my fucking mind. i found this chest in the sewers and for some reason i didn't have any thieves tools with me so i just put the whole thing in my pocket to take home and dropped it in front of astarion cause apparently he has all of my thieves tools and all it had in it was this fucking note

dnd today was so funny bc I built a fucking tank. Like a beefy ass dragonborn barbarian. And though we had to stop halfway through (what was a very long) combat, I took literally zero hits. I am still at full health. I was raging, with a resistance to some damage and the most hp of the group by a long shot, ready to tank every goddamn hit, right up in the face of the bbeg, and yet was the only one the dm had completely failed to get a hit off on. also we were fighting a mindflayer, so that’s even more shocking. I have terrible intelligence and still managed every fucking save I had to do. my ac is 13 and she missed every attack roll

the one problem is I was like “well. I’m not the strategy guy so I’ll just hit these important seeming tentacles to break this dude’s concentration” decided to leave the very obvious lockpicking and magic dispelling jobs at the edge of combat to my rogue and sorcerer companions. And then neither of them did those things, and the dm critted twice to concentrate on the spell before I could bash all of the tentacles in. So we kinda failed at that bc none of the obvious solutions got done in time. However damn was I hitting hard. I had multiple nat 20s to attack and since I was raging and frenzied i got three attacks a turn so I was doing an average of like 20 damage a round. My paladin friend was doing an average of 6. Speaking of him he was our only healer and went down midway through the fight so I had to stabilize him and pray that the guy behind the aforementioned lock(ed cell door) could heal him like he said he could. and then we all had to leave so that’s as far as we got. we are not doing so hot. Well I am but I have one skill and that is hitting which only goes so far. I need my cool paladin friend, as does the sorcerer who kept getting hit despite having the same ac as me.

there was also a point where everyone else had tried and failed an arcana check (which they all had at least +1 to) to break a nearby snare spell and I was just like. ah hell. i have the worst arcana but whatever I’ll give it a shot and then rolled a 20. my stupid ass was just like yeah fuck this spell and then I ripped people out of it. I don’t know what it was with me and intelligence checks/saves tbh. I always just managed to make the dc. Didn’t make a single strength check tho, fuck my +7 ig
