You'll be killed twice

Okay but Armpits Esquire has the kind of whimsy I love best.

Obligatory link to the song.

Nurse Practitioner Patricia P. Poopu is fine too I bet.

he could telepathically communicate with plants using the power of friendship. The plants had nothing to say because they were plants

Funniest thing I read all week goddamn

Some may not like it but this is what the perfect campaign looks like

Oddly reminiscent of Steven Universe. Is his own mother, who was some kind of (evil?) god, has an orb in his belly button, launches friendship based attacks.

Futurama's "nasty in the pasty" was funny, but I gigglesnorted and choked on coffee on the care bear stare.

It is a very strong class when you have a fire mage in your team

I was once in a game where the GM allowed his buddy to be a build like that, but in a nifty "hidden origins" way, where the PC slowly realises their own immense power, but is super clumsy with it, so they're an active danger to the party but you also can't just leave them at an inn because they can potentially destroy the world if they have a nightmare...

Then he got turned into the campaign's secret big bad that was only revealed at the very end. THAT worked out well. Turned out he could control his powers and just used us to get rid of his also evil archnemesis of his before attacking the party.

In half the campaigns, the Doctor Farts PC ends up being the MVP because they weren't minmaxed and as a result have much more utility.

The second one sort of depends on the player. I've had a few players that have made absolutely ridiculous characters but played them very well and it was a good experience.

You mean like the Legend of Poop McDinglefart?

My dm never let me play as a terrasque

Suggestion can be twinned if need be

The people who want to do 1500 dmg/turn probably want to be playing 3.5

In my experience, dr farts is the result of an overabundance of options and lack of foresight. They don’t know what it’d be like, so they try it. Giving players a silly character swap voucher, good for just one session per campaign, solves that. Similar deal for the overjuiced character. (Not usable during story boss encounters)

Once people recognize that the boundaries are there to improve their experience, not detract from it, they usually follow the flow of the game and build on others’ characters. If they don’t, chairs are easy to fill.

Somewhat similarly, as a character with a good variety of options available in combat, I worry somewhat about the Ranger and Warlock I play with whose turns are pretty much always "I shoot the [x]", but everyone seems to be having a good time so I guess combat gameplay isn't really their bag, idk.

Am definitely surprised by I_Fart_Glitter considering I know them personally lol

Hey don’t leave out my name sibling

Who can murder someone with a PC this excellent?

Professor Belvedere “Fartsparkles” Tinkletuft was once a respected lecturer at the Neverwinter Arcane Academy. His groundbreaking research into “transmogrified odoriferous manifestations” (or, as the students called it, fart magic) was dismissed as childish and “in poor taste.”

In protest, the Professor vowed to prove that flatulence is the ultimate illusion. Through alchemical experimentation, he discovered how to weaponize his digestive essence into arcane displays — clouds of glittering gas, illusionary stink beasts, and even gaseous duplicates of himself.

Now he roams the realms, performing “scientific demonstrations” and occasionally saving the world — usually by accident.

I am butt a servant who announces the impending arrival of my lord, Poo.

What are you going to do, fart on them?

I give my players pretty wide latitude, after a few sessions they generally agree with me if their character isn't working well. Too weak can be treated with better weapons; too powerful get bored and go home. One of the too powerful synergised two powers to become practically invulnerable

Has to be an elf though, for flavor reasons. And very bad at persuasion, but very good at intimidation
