Eh, I'd definitely say it's not a "don't ever do this" scenario. For player agency matters- if luck had been on our side (if I'd rolled a longer fuse, if we'd coordinated better, if I'd gone down instead of up first) then yeah, we could have diffused them. Regardless, I think it works for the story. First off, it's something I gave myself in my backstory, not something I earned in-game. Secondly, I acknowledged that having this bar to defend was reducing my character's desire to go after the main story line (so I shouldn't have been surprised ;) ). Third, this is intended as a short campaign so I think bigger character's-life-changing events are reasonable if not even expected. And most importantly of course, I trust my DM to make a good story, and he trusts me to help move the story forward in interesting ways. (despite what I said about defending the bar, I can find character reasons to move forward if I need to and have in the past.)

Me: makes meme with this template Me: comes here and sees this immediately after. Glad we're on the same page? ;)

I don't need to be called out like this.

In this campaign and another one where a different pc had a familiar, the DMs incentivized not killing them off by limiting the places you could find material components. I'm stocking up next time.

This is the other reason I chose owl, fly-by is very convenient for not getting offed. (or would be if she ever lived long enough to try it.)

ok no but that's actually perfect. The flavor he has for his character is they like posing questions to everyone. "Would you rather brawl with a lion or sleep with a viper?" is one he asked last night. (They said lion, he suckerpunched them and responded "interesting choice, let's see how you do.")

Rolled a character for a one-shot (using a bot on Discord) that got 18, 16, 16, 16, 15, 13 once. It felt like cheating.

That being said I really enjoy playing a character with one really bad stat. Like 5 or 6.

My current rogue started out sharing loot fairly but it's become a running joke that she stashes so much she jingles when she walks. To be fair, half of the party actively don't want money and she'll share when asked (if she can't get the five-finger discount on whatever the party's trying to acquire) so essentially she's acting as the party bank.
