    My best bard was a morally derelict bastard. But when I ended up with a sentient weapon that had the soul of the previous owner trapped in it, I insisted on making sure it could watch. Homie’s trapped in a sword, he deserves a bit of entertainment.

    I once played a Fighter who was a pacifist. Not a “I attack nonlethally” pacifist, a full-on, specialized-in-weapons-he-refused-to-use pacifist.

    His only kill was a Roving Mauler. He made the mistake of trying to grapple with it to restrain it from hurting the party, and as it tried to run away, the curious rolling gait of the Mauler caused it to twist its own head off in his arms, leaving the legs cartwheeling across the room while he cradled the Mauler’s head and the attached collar.

    RIP Maxwell, you were some bizarre wizard’s beloved pet. 😭

      lel reminds me of a superhero I once played who was basically a “tank” whose only power was a mind-control ability to convince others to attack him instead of someone else. It was a one-dimensional kinda character so it got old fast, but it was the kind of campaign where I could roll up another character.
