Things That Strike Fear Into the Hearts of D&D Players
- When you’re travelling and the DM asks what your passive perception is, then starts looking at charts
- “Make a wisdom save.” “What for?” “You’ll see.”
- When the rest of the party agrees to a plan that the DM has heavily implied will end poorly
- When the DM winces after rolling damage
- When the DM says “You feel compelled to…” and you realize you failed that wisdom save earlier
- “Next session is going to be a lot of fun.”
- “I’m not quite sure if I balanced this fight properly, but we’ll see how it goes.”
- “Are you sure you wish to proceed?”
-When your DM reblogs this post.
adding one of my most fave things any DM has ever said, as uttered by @decertatio:
“how much do you value your life today?”
- When they ask how much HP you have after rolling damage but before telling you what the damage is.
- “Remind me, who’s holding (important object)?”
- “So who’s entering the room first?”
- “you guys are very trusting; don’t you want to roll for sense motive?”
