Half the fun in our d&d combat is picking out the random crap to use for miniatures. Like my character has been represented by a metal Goofy figurine, we fought tall flesh golems that were candlesticks and skeletons that were random unused dice, large creatures are amiibos since they fit neatly in the 2x2 grid etc
[QUOTE=Anderan;50148282]There's a certain sense of satisfaction to be had when the min-maxing psyker in your group, the one who ends literally every encounter before anyone else can do much of anything, rolls a 100 on his perils roll. [sp]It blinks them out of existence and cannot under any circumstances be re-rolled[/sp][/QUOTE]
Except you can just burn fate.
[QUOTE=slayer20;50150767]I completely agree, but I like collecting them. I really like using the bigger ones though for bosses and stuff.
Here's what I unboxed though

I had one other box that wasn't shown. It was pathfinder character pawns + a wolf.[/QUOTE]
i have that ettin!
[QUOTE=The Drones;50149097]That's a fair response, sorry if I sounded like I was being a dick, I was having difficulty finding a way to word it and I asked the DM for examples of times it annoyed them, I don't mind it too much its just the DM asked me to look for a way to counter it.
Thank you for responding though, I will talk to the DM about it.[/QUOTE]
Sounds a bit like this 'DM' might actually be you ranting about how someone plays.

Do you guys have any tips regarding roleplaying as a barbarian [I]outside[/I] of combat?
It's fun being all HULK SMASH during battles, but I've got a feeling it's gonna become really weird/boring during social interactions,
since my character's kinda primitive compared to everyone else, both party and NPCs.
Also going with Bearkin because sentient bipedal bears. :v:

You can just do things in the background while the party face talks. Urinate in the corner, bully some kids nearby, knock something off a nearby table because you can. Fish up some salmon or terrorize a convenient beekeeper.
[QUOTE=elowin;50150663]Honestly, in my experience using figurines is not really worth it. I mean they look nice, but more than anything they actually make the game worse, because generally you'll end up trying to use whatever monsters you have figurines for rather than, well, anything else. They stifle creativity.
And jesus everloving christ that's a lot of money to spend.[/QUOTE]
Figurines (or dice if you're cheap like my group) for players, M&Ms for enemies.
Using figurines for monsters is absolutely just cash in the trash.
we use chess pieces as players

Drink heavily, challenge locals to wrestle, harass bards to do songs about battles, take up a hobby like whittling maybe, see if you can find a colosseum/fight pit/boxing club.
Don't forget the part where you adopt a cute non-fighty animal and proclaim him the greatest warrior of his kind
Any suggestions for a gift to get for a DM for dnd 5e as a general thank you?
We got him a screen, but the day we were gonna give it to him he got one himself. Struggling to think of a gift that he would actually use in game preferably...

More dice, like [IMG]http://images4.sw-cdn.net/product/picture/625x465_1129409_126266_1459317794.jpg[/IMG]
That, or just get the food in future. Pizza or chinese or whatever, that's the usual thanks for a good GM!

He's in the UK though, I'm pretty sure that the corners on that d4 count as an offensive weapon.

That was horribly unlikely, but clearly the Force is with you. Even a dent in most of you would send you down.

These are the most Assyrian dice I've ever seen, I can just see Ashurnasirpal II pelting people with these until they bleed.
Where can I get them?

those dice look like the perfect fit for a steampunk/manapunk inspired or lovecraftian campaign.
The d4 is literally a caltrop and I still laugh about that every time I see that dice set.
Those dice are actually ninja tools in disguise. The evil ninja are preparing to infiltrate our games, and destroy them from the inside.
So I think I've killed my party.
Currently in a 5E Roll20 game. we are on the way to fight the boss of our current "chapter" which is set in a forest of everlasting fire, caused by said boss. Along the way, a bearded devil that's been harassing our party, trying to get a hold of the macguffin we're trying to get to the rebellion shows up AGAIN. The last three times, our rogue has been able to either trick, charisma or straight up bullshit the devil to leave us alone. This time, my character (A seige-crossbow wielding, old country hick essentially) was really pissed off because of the devil's timing and because he just got out of a really bad combat (two crit-fails in a row). So I decided enough was enough.
"Kazyk(devil): "Give me the documents which you so wittingly hid away."
"And in return, I will help you defeat Indomitability."
Jacob Maulstone "the Ranger": "Or?"
Kazyk: He shrugs helplessly
"Or I attack you while you're fighting it and take them anyways."
Jacob Maulstone "the Ranger": "okay." shoots at dog (this was the Devil's pet hellhound)
The ensuing fight nearly killed us. We're all lvl 4 BTW.
So now we're wounded, low on spells, abilities and about to square off against a giant flaming Stag possessed by an evil spirit named indomitably. I've got the feeling we're about to have a really bad time, which sucks because I really like my current character. But it had to be done.

long rest

Okay so that either is you or someone they know, if you wanted to get some pointless zingers then don't make an account with the name insulting me, at least then I would be slightly less likely to think it wasn't a gimmick account.
If it is you then you can message me any time you feel like instead of making an account with the express purpose of insulting me, which is pretty petty.
If it is someone they know then the only reason you would know that was me would be if they were complaining about me to you, the exact same thing.
Also it might have worked a little better if you actually quoted me complaining instead of apologising, and show me where I ranted too, as all I did was ask a question.
