Oath of Devotion Centaur Paladin. Absolute glutton.
Our Bard inspired her so hard that she ate the tavern owner out of business. It was quite the start to our adventure. It only got crazier from there.

Bards are the true chaotic force behind DnD.

Just as I thought this thread wasn't gonna go anywhere I just thought "Sod it" and got rid of my comment only for you to reply just as I did it. That's honestly funny.

I blame Bards for this.

So do I. But on the topic of my group's Bard: At the end of our campaign we won because he seduced Tiamat and got abducted by her. He never came home but he did save the day.

Suffice to say, he was not amused.

Am running a Strixhaven game. Redid the sports game in the setting book to be basically flying hockey (full contact and all). Made uses for various skills and action economy based rules, and the players were completely on board and super in to the game.

Some characters are considering pursuing the game professionally after graduating

That's awesome, love how creative you can be in tabletop, wish a game was capable of truly capturing it.

Most of my top moments are stories that require a lot of explaining to really get into, but one of my most memorable was a new player to our group being a general jackass, because "It's what my character would do".

So killing his character for being an idiot is what OUR characters would do. Lesson was learned. :)

My favorite memory has to be from either rise of tiamat or hoard of the dragon queen, don't remember which campaign it was.
But here's the sitch:
We had found some unlabeled potions from some crazy alchemist side-quest dude earlier. And since they were unlabeled, we decided to just randomize a magical effect everytime we used them.
Fast forward a looot of sessions, we're on top of some flying castle thing (?) And there's some random dragon attacking us, our party wasn't really ready for this encounter so we started chucking those random potions.
One of our party members immediately started ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chains out of his butt if I remember correctly, while I got some jackpot superbuff (Don't even remember what it did exactly.), which combined with my rogues sneak attack, and a crit resulted in me throwing more dice I've seen in my life, and promptly oneshotting the said dragon. The dragon the DM later said we weren't supposed to beat.

It was fun.

Reminds me of a buddy when I was very young, in his first campaign he rolled a wizard and somehow managed to knock the helm off a fighter, then equipped the helm and continued to try and engage in melee combat for like 6 turns getting beat around the head while doing no damage.

I think the DM was being nice to him since he was brand new, but he took this as an opportunity to try and be the main character of the group doing...non-wizardly stuff until he was killed off.

Me: "Good? Evil? It's all about reputation. I want something someone else has without paying for it. People usually think that's evil. If the person thinks I'm doing good, they might let me just have it."
Paladin: "I don't like how much sense this is making. I go to the nearest tavern to drink until it stops making sense or I pass out."

(to a new player whose character was downed)
DM: "No. You're just unconscious. Here's how death works in D&D."

*later*

(after rolling a crit attack and preparing to roll damage against the same character whose player dumped the CON score)
DM: "Here's how instant death works in D&D."

I've never played and I don't want to.
