Greetings all. If this is the wrong place to put this thread then I'm sorry but... here goes. So, I'm looking for pranks that a low dex paladin would be able to put on for his fellow party members. Nothing that's going to maim anyone or leave ill feeling, but something that'll be reasonably funny, and something that doesn't require sneakiness to pull off.
You can always do prank set up while the rest of the party sleeps (assuming party is target).
Otherwise the whole setting up while not actually being watched is still a good idea.
You can set tripwires, snares, grease, some kind of flash powder (maybe), put a potion in an unattended drink or water skin.
Other ways to reduce low dex issues is to gain advantage or impose disadvantage while doing it. Some fog or smoke between you and them or being in dim light.

Low Dex Paladin. You can use Deception, to say a trap is disarmed, when it isn't.
You can poison/disease some drinks, and offer them to the party and drink them with them yourself (hehe)
the lack of cantrips takes away the ability to use minor illusion to draw penises on the face of your bard/rogue/whoever talking to the town guard....
Here is some ideas that a PC of mine plans to use, I modified them for you considering your DEX:
- use that persuasion to convince a party member (the cook) that someone is afraid to eat in the dark. The party will be pleasantly confused as to why the PC is insisting on eating only during the day time. Or that even when it’s a hint of an evening, the entire room is covered in candles for that one party member.
- start talking to the trees in a weird random language. I would look up phrases in French and say them in different order. Or better, during your turn, ask the trees if you can swing your massive sword. Your party will be weirded out (don’t worry you want this).
- have your paladin flirt with inanimate objects for a bit then using your deception to lie to the party about why you were really talking to them. (Tell them your god speaks to everyone this way, and the god would like everyone to introduce themselves.)
- have the paladin make an insight check for the randomness things. Like if a party member says, “I could go for a bite of meat.” Commit to the insight check. Even if they pass, be sure to act wary of them.
- if your group ever goes to a tavern, bribe the barkeep to mix the weirdest drink ever. (See below on getting DM involved.) One of my PC plans to switch everyone in the party’s drinks (including hers) for the sake of that prank. (For example, say your party orders: mead, ale, milk, and whiskey. You could tell the bartender to put some milk in the mead drink or some whiskey in the ale, etc. Be sure to have your drink messed up the most.) BTW, bribes to the barkeep work most of the time.
- Party not letting you get the drinks? Order food. But, use that persuasion to ask for nothing but bread and potatoes and pig feet for the party. That will 100% get a reaction. If you guys are in a rich area where veggies might be available, find out which veggies people in your party hate & tell the cook the party members want the fifth least favorite with their meal. (IE, turnips & leeks) Or if you don’t know, ask what veggies they have and use those instead. (Again, get the DM involved.) BTW, bribes usually work.
Now, for getting the DM involved (which you 100% should do). Explain to them your plan and what you hope to achieve. I can say as a PC pairing up with the DM to play pranks on your party members is hilarious. I would start with these. You need to act normal but appear slightly odd. That way if it backfires, the things you do can’t be proven to hurt you later. Plus, having the DM on your side is golden.
Let me know if my advice works! Feel free to modify some of these. Thank Reddit for giving me the idea.
Grab the backpacks of two party members while they sleep. Swap the contents.
Swap the contents of the salt jar and the sugar jar.
Take first watch. Wake the next in line after 20 minutes.
Raid the party loot bag, and swap all the gold with rocks.
This is becoming a lot of swap A for B pranks, but they still work.
When in town, set up annoying dates for everyone.
I dunno, maybe I'm not much of a prankster. The best pranks all involve putting buckets of hot burning magma above door frames.

While I'd find that unfunny (I'm old), a Reduce potion roulette might be quite hilarious.

Pretty sure you're replying to a thread necro from a spambot.
Oh.
Well, so be it - I stand by my words! =)

Laxative roulette.

Or love potion! Although that depends on your group... P.S. Not a bot.
