If the idea involves simply walking into Avernus, I'll be as impressed as I'll be amused.

Beyond that, did the party specifically leave some members behind when I did not notice, or are they simply offscreen during this comic?

I know that it would be out of character, but now I'm trying to make up a plan how this might work. If Mystery can counterspell, then if you send him along while disguised as someone else, it might be possible.

However, as you've said, it would not really accomplish much anyway and Konsi would never do it.

I don't know what you mean. Winning poker via the use of a hammer is a long honored dwarves tradition.

Ouch.

Ironaically enough, you just take either the horizontal or the vertical distance (whatever is longer) instead of calculating. I hate that rule and never use it, but that's what RAW says.

Partially. I think its fine to have that kind of thing. But not all the time. Bandits who are actually good people will avoid murder if possible. And while bad people can also have loved ones, that does not invalidate self defense.

Just as you said: Self defense is not murder-hoboing. If we are talking murder-hoboing then we should apply that list to city guards and commoners, who are not meant to be fought.

I get you wanted to do it for fun, but you sound like a horrible player to have at the table. There is a social contract involved in playing DnD and while disagreements between party members are all fine, your character was basically hindering the other characters at every step (at least from what you described).

While it has nothing to do with the first point: I also reject your interpretation of alignment. It's (at least from how I see it) not that you choose an alignment and then build a character around it, but that you build a character and then classify them with the alignment that fits their actions best. I know that some classes require certain alignments but even then there are a multitude of different ways to go about that alignment.

I think it would depend on the table. I for one know I would not like it.

I think it is - in fact - the exact opposite of it. It's gaslighting and player vs. DM mentality. If I was a player, I would have a serious word with the DM afterwards and when I am the DM, I refrain from such actions altogether.

I agree. I normally don't do it, but I still like to know when I'm about to get hit with some of that stuff. There are... some bad memories attached to it.

What? Don't you dare insult kneebreaker. He's one of the finest works from the 42th generation of smiths.

I love it. The drawings, but especially the moments of characters looking back at how far they have come and remembering all the happened along the way. There is a certain... bittersweet melancholy to it.

Poor Sildar...

What!? Who is short here? I'll show you short!!

Objection. This is most likely out of character.

I might inject, that this is a very drastic measure that some groups will find to be annoying. As long as they are actually debating constructively, then the example above isn't even needed. If, as the comment says, the debate is going in circles, some groups can be brought back on track by simply telling them: "So guys... What are you going to do? Because you've been doing the same back and forth for half an hour now?"

Not saying that you should not use the above method. Just saying that some players will find that to be an "extreme" solution. Instead, simply reminding them, that they should probably get to a result within the next five minutes can do.

Thanks.

Please. Its not that bad. Baldurs Gate is a nice place. With a lot of crimes. And horrible Living conditions. There are also a lot of politicians. Did I mention all the noise reporters...? Okay maybe it's that bad.

Thanks. He seems like a really cool guy.

Who ist this guy?
