A good example is Titanic where people keep saying Jack could fit on the door, despite the film showing him trying to get onto the door and almost capsizing it, so he leaves it alone to ensure Rose's safety.
Sure, but I'm part of the minority that likes to remove the rest of the sheep first.
This honestly sounds like an amazing quest giver.
Evil Quest Giver: Yes, go and fight the dragon in this remote mountain and get treasure! I hope you survive, hehehe...
Party: (One week later) Wow, that dragon was kidnapping the locals and planning a conquest of the valley! Good thing we put a stop to that, huh?
EQG: Uh... Holy heck... W- Well, you're just the people to deliver this letter to this outpost in the middle of nowhere! Go now, take your time with the trip!
Party: (One week later) Turns out the guy you sent that letter to was researching occult rituals and accidentally unearthed a swarm of demons. We saved him and found this sword of sacred might.
EQG: Okay, plan C. Join me, and we shall overthrow the crown!
Party: The one terrorising the common folk? We were hoping there was a resistance group we could join!
The spellcaster can deal a monumental amount of damage in a single spell, enough to wipe out a martial fighter in only a few turns. The martial fighter can deal multiple modest hits each round, enough to wipe out a spellcaster in only a few turns. Clearly, the winner is the trickster who pitted them against each other and hid, only coming out after a few turns had passed so they could stab the survivor.
"Dude, it's a sleeping dragon. If I wake it up, it'll just be pissed at me. If I try and do anything while it's asleep, I'm scum. I get the horny bard jokes, but I'm a little offended you think so little of me.
Besides, the spell only lasts 1 round. I can easily go 6 seconds without fucking. I just think about your god and I go flaccid."
You can't say "no politics intended" and then directly discuss politics. The answer will invariably include politics.
Trump didn't want to be a politician. He wanted to be president. Being a senator or congressman is a job, but being president is a mark of prestige. If he can become president again, he will, because it makes him look good. There's no point for him in taking a lower position with less power.
The sword's power changes with time, and as it racks up more kills. Soon, it gains a +1 to attack and damage. Then, it can become wreathed in flame as a bonus action. Then, it grants advantage to checks made to locate creatures. Then, its base power inverts and it can only kill non-evil creatures.
Do not tell the player about that last one. Insist to the player that it works exactly as you first described. The Paladin can kill innocent shopkeepers and little old ladies, but cannot kill this assassin working for the BBEG.
Will he question his own stab-first ask-later methods? Or will he turn evil without even noticing?
In the tomb of horrors, there is a door that summons a monster to attack the players if the players stab the door. This is apparently something that not only happens in Gary Gygax's campaigns, but happens often enough that he encoded it into one of the most famous dungeons of all time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will always be amazed that bards have the reputation and not paladins. They're charisma casters with a healing touch, an inspiring aura, and immunity to disease.
- Burn the body.
- Kill a stranger.
- Wear a disguise.
- Hide the head.
- Cast Speak With Dead yourself so nobody else can.
There are many ways to keep a witness from identifying you. You just need to be creative.
I don't know for certain if he deserves it or not, but this guy will always be known as the guy accused of using a buttplug to cheat at chess. There's no escaping it at this point.
