37. Other players that whine and throw fits when they take damage or fail a skill check. I've had to deal with too many of those.
sometimes, however, they succeed, but the dm refused to read the rule that clearly states that proficiency is included in a passive check. Like what happened to me.
162. When the DM doesn't want to kill the players but doesn't want to make it obvious, so he has all of the monsters "choose" to hit the barbarian who can take it without dying.
172. When a player refuses to actually read the PHB, but will skim it and cherry-pick lines that favor them to argue with the DM over.
173. When that same player argues with the DM out of game - while having very little knowledge of the rules - and finally accepts the DM's explanation... only to restart the same argument during the next session, as though it were never explained.
We can get there.
156. When your fellow players whine as soon as they face a real challenge...see 1, 2, and 3 in this list.
And yes it is the latter. For me anyway. :-)

157. I really hate when a D&D player declares a thread to be dead. ;)
157 (for real) When the DM gives players "plot armor".
158. That one guy who whines for the cleric to heal him as soon as he takes any damage.

159. That guy who assumes all clerics do is heal
Giant flaming rocks filled with tarrasques fall, everyone dies.
160. When people try to "seduce" anything...99% of the time it doesn't even make sense.

161 When a beginner player refuses to actually learn the rules and expects the rest of the players to help.
162. When the DM doesn't want to kill the players but doesn't want to make it obvious, so he has all of the monsters "choose" to hit the barbarian who can take it without dying.
163: Same as 162, but instead of not making it obvious, does crap like bending fireballs to only hit the Barbarian, and then denies it
Extended Signature! Yay! https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/off-topic/adohands-kitchen/3153-extended-signature-thread?page=2#c21
Haven’t used this account in forever. Still a big fan of crawling claws.
164. When the DM uses "hit points=plot" for his final boss.
Wizard (Gandalf) of the Tolkien Club
165. When the DM doesn't plan the final boss encounter well, and the fight ends up being an anti-climatic pushover.
166. When the paladin asks the bard to actually do damage.
167. When the bard seduces your character and steals all of your magic items. This actually happened to me.
I just realized my character portrait perfectly sums up my reaction to that.
168. When players harm other players in some way..when you're supposed to be a team.
169.When the DM lets player characters roll Persuasion against each other.
Wizard (Gandalf) of the Tolkien Club
170. When the idiotic Half-Elf Monk *cough* Jimmy *cough* screams IT'S A TRAP whenever he or another player is invited to join a faction.
And that is why my party can never get through Chapter 2 of Dragon Heist.
171. When people insist on a long rest after every encounter...

174. When the Strongest Party member insists on making the healers fight for them instead.
Begone foul troglodytes for if not, I Rorsch the Dwarf will eat you instead.
