Question of the day, What do you give your good friends as a gift? Something you bought or something you made?
Depends on the friend. If they are really good friends, they know that we don't have to exchange gifts at every holiday or event. That isn't exactly fair though. I have plenty of great friends who exchange gifts because they like gift giving. For them, I usually buy them something they like. I ain't good at making things that people would want.
Question of the day, What do you give your good friends as a gift? Something you bought or something you made?
We're at that stage of life where time is the most precious thing we can give. Too busy with work, kids, et al to just hang. So anytime we get to, it means more than anything physical.
If there is something physical we bring along, it's usually food or drink-related. Which is in conjunction with spending time with them.
Question of the day, What do you give your good friends as a gift? Something you bought or something you made?
I try to always give gifts of meaning and import to my friends -- regardless of how it is made. I can sometimes be a little crafty, so it might be somethign like that, but as an examle I just sent a friend a pair of brass snails from Amazon that I know they will enjoy.

Question of the day, What do you give your good friends as a gift? Something you bought or something you made?
Usually something bought, because I am not skilled at making anything... except writing. And no one wants a story for any kind of gift. (Which is sad, because people love a painting...)

Question: have you ever made an op PC on accident? I made one a couple days ago that can make 12 consecutive attacks with advantage on the first 5 rounds.

Hi, I’m DrakenBrine, here’s my Sig and characters
Question: have you ever made an op PC on accident? I made one a couple days ago that can make 12 consecutive attacks with advantage on the first 5 rounds.
I don't think I've stumbled my way into something quite this strong, but I am the furthest thing from a min/maxer possible and I've accidentally made annoyingly strong builds on multiple occasions. I'm very curious about your OP build, though. I imagine Elven Accuracy is involved?
Amusingly, my most OP character to date is actually a ranger with garbage stats. Most of this is due to my DM giving me a ridiculously powerful bow (every time I shoot a target with it, I benefit from one round of the Blur spell, non-concentration). The rest is the fact that even without the bow, I'm extremely hard to pin down & hit, I'm nearly always first in the initiative order, and I multiclassed into cleric so I can drop mad damage when I feel like it.
Question: have you ever made an op PC on accident? I made one a couple days ago that can make 12 consecutive attacks with advantage on the first 5 rounds.
I can do it in 4, with Reckless Attack and two-weapon fighting at level 5. Unless you mean 12 each round? In which case I'm assuming Animate Objects or some such summoning shenanigans.

As for me, no.
I meant 12 attacks with advantage each round, for 5 rounds. Their is zero spellcasting (except for a few innate racial spells) involved in this build.
really?

Question: have you ever made an op PC on accident?
Naw, I enjoy the flawed characters or what I think are "off beat" - like a Tiefling Paladin (I am currently playing in Curse of Strahd) - because of the demonic appearance, but he's pure heart. (Very much inspired by Nightcrawler of the X-Men). I am not one, during the game, for trying to outshine everyone with whatever I am doing. Because I've been there - where one character is just outclassing mine by miles, and I feel like, "Why am I even here?" So I like to make sure, even on "accident" if I made something that was insane, to tone it down in game (I get 4 attacks a round? I will just make it two, thanks, and only leap to using the actual 4 if we're in deep trouble!) But side note, I can not for the life of me, think of ever - even on accident - making some crazy character like that. I am often more likely to die than outshine the party. lol

Thanks for the PTSD flashbacks of the forge cleric I DMed for who utterly spammed Animate Objects at every possible turn...

I suspect there's a homebrew rule/race/class involved. :D
The only homebrew was a feat I made.
and its only gives the advantage, not the attack amount. That"s pure subclass.
Astral Self or Drunken Master?

Life has given me a break sooner than expected. In my 6 minutes of free time I hopped on here and oh my. Loving the story! I will also answer this most recent question.
I prefer flawed characters as well, but I have three stories for this question. My first ever character had 3 eighteens. It was mental. These were naturally rolled and added to by racial bonuses, but this was at first level. However, I eventually reduced multiple stats (including some of the eighteens) to preserve the fun of the game for myself. Sadly the campaign ended short soon after that (damn Covid!). Recently I’ve been playing a plasmoid ranger, and while my combat abilities are only good after a couple rounds (and round one because I’m a gloomstalker) I am the most overpowered dungeon crawler. I am always invisible, I can fit through one inch gaps, I can carry the party (literally) in my Bag of Holding because no one breathes except for the druid, and finally, my GM approved a homebrew Bag of Holding. It requires attunement and dwells within my character, it is essentially his heart. While attuned I can place objects in the bag by simply touching them and absorbing them into me. I still must make strength checks to grab creatures, as if I was shoving a normal Bag of Holding on them. It also has expanded storage space (not too much). Basically, I’m our storage, transport, and sneaky crawler. Finally, I had a player in a recent level 11 one-shot play a ghostlancer. The party got the jump on the young red dragon and killed it in two rounds. Each barbarian got one attack and the ghostlancer absolutely smote it. He never cast a spell of first level or higher. Just… Eldritch Blast. The BBEG went down in two rounds (not a super tough BBEG, only CR 10, as the party was supposed to have been weaker because: Beholder, Salamanders, Young Red Dragon, and a lot of Duergar and Erinyes.) The Beholder went down three rounds later and each Salamander died within a round or two of the BBEG. We’re finishing the game on Thursday… I fear for my monsters.
