one of the players in an old campaign decided to just attack a vagrant while we were clearing out a grain silo. another 2 got paralysed with chronurgy magic by a ziggurat and when one of the others try to rescue them they also fail the wisdom save to not get paralysed and are stuck there until we pull them off. another while we were in the silo jumped into a pit hidden by illusions that was full of bones and skeletons (not undead) luckily there was a ladder that he could climb out of. our wizard odin got into a fight with a smuggler and took one hit and was instantly on death saves, had to use cure wounds, good times
We spent half of the last session with our cleric (well, he's using a pathfinder character so technically he's an Oracle) and our necromancer dueling. Except not really, because they spent the majority of that time arguing about which spells they could use. This all happened because the Oracle, a new PC after his old one died, was dueling a human to show off his abilities. Our necromancer saw this and thought "Oooh that looks fun." So, he challenged the Oracle to a LETHAL duel. He was under the impression lethal meant something that seriously injures you. And, he has almost no touch spells, which was the only spell type allowed in the duel. Ya. He died. Our DM almost shut down the campaign because of that. Our DM has been saying all week that he "fixed it" which is good since our necromancer has the most interesting backstory by far. He's thousands of years old; he came to the desert, and prepared a ritual that turned it into an oasis, gaining a religious following in the process. However, he was killed, and his power split across the world, and he was then stuck in an oil lamp for millennia. All our DM said about how he fixed it is saying he "condemned him to suffer from all eternity." Anyways, our next session is today, so that'll be fun to see.

I enjoy making homebew, and making characters in hero forge. Shoot me a message if you want your character created at no charge.
We were at Van Richten’s tower in CoS and Esmeralda’s cart was right outside. We were knocking on the door and such, but no one answered. DM finally gets bored of us shouting at nothing and tells us there’s no one home.
One player does not hear him.
Said player threatens to light the cart on fire. As no one is home, no one responds. He does it, only to find out it was filled with I think 200 bottles of alchemist’s fire.
The fire damage from the ensuing explosion killed his character on the spot.
Not sure if it was stupid or genius, but we hid in wine barrels to have ourselved delivered into the room of the headmaster of a wizard school. We just needed to have a word with him... We then jumped out of the barrel and scared the shit out of him. Luckily he did not kill us immediately and gave us a few seconds to explain ourselves. Eventually we became good friends with the headmaster.
The DM rewarded us with a Feat! Advantage to stealth rolls when climbing out of a barrel and trying to remain hidden. 😅
At the start of a campaign, while we were all first level characters, one player was an Elf Rogue. He chose a cantrip that deals necrotic damage for his build. In our first combat we were fighting two zombies, two skeletons and two shadows. He ran in their and cast his necrotic damage cantrip, then touched one of the zombies. The Zombie's reaction was like he had just drank a can of Jolt Cola and he was refreshed and ready to go.

Last session my party cane across a fungi cavern. They identified some of the fungi as being poisonous. However before anyone could check out anything about the area or figure a way across safely one party member our warlock decides to just walk through the room. He manages his save against poisonous spores but set of the Shrikers hiding among the larger mushroom halfway into the room
Long story short it brought 5 giant bat a bugbear a ghoul and a skeleton down on their heads before they disabled the Shrikers managing to take down two party members in the process
Well, a long time ago I was a DMing a short campaign and one character was chaotic evil. He managed to successfully wake up and anger dragon that I was hoping the party will manage to sneak around or at least reason with. Well, it was a very memorable TPK.
Not particularly stupid, but I want to share nonetheless.
Friend was running a homebrew adventure. Me and the other player needed to get to the storeroom of a small shop (long story short there was a bad guy hideout there). Our plan was:
1: Hide other player (halfling rogue, arcane trickster) in the bad of holding we found
2: Rogue casts minor illusion at the top of the bag to create a bunch of illusory gems, jingling their coin pouch to emulate the sound of gems clinking around one another
3: I (human monk) walk up to the shopkeeper, saying that I'm interested in selling the "gems"
4: Rogue jumps out of bag, surprising the shopkeeper, allowing us to knock him unconscious
5: I steal the shopkeeper's attire, and sneak in undetected

He now pays attention to what the DM is saying.

In my most recent session, the party saw a dragon approaching, and the first thing they did was split the 5-person party into 4 separate groups.
The session ended on a cliffhanger - thus far, 2 characters have hit 0hp; one has recovered. Fortunately, they are all back together again!
