[5e] Just played DND 5e for the first time. It was a magical experience.

5th Edition

I knew DnD was going to be awesome, but I never thought I'd have as much fun as I just did. The DM was really cool and let me get away with some pretty wacky shit.

My character is a human ranger who hunts beasts for glory and fiscal gain, so when a big ass wolf attacked our party in an adventure, I knew I had to kill it. I got a shot off with my longbow and did 10 damage. Our DM said the wolf was now severely injured. I asked him if I could make a bonus action to spit at the wolf, and he said yes. I roll a natural 20 for attack and the DM says I can do 1d4/2 damage rounded down. I hit for 2 damage and the wolf dies.

Also, in a fight with a boss, me and our druid had clevery lured him into a choke point, where we were to strike. We both get in one hit each and then the boss whacks the druid upside the head for 10 damage, knocking him out. Earlier in the game I'd put sand into my pockets in case the situation turned dire. I asked the DM if I could taunt the boss so he'd turn to me, and then use pocket sand as a quick action. Suprisingly, he said yes. I throw the sand in the bosses eyes, shouting "POCKET SAND! SHA SHA SHA!" The DM says I now have advantage on the attack roll. I attack with my dual shortswords, and the boss gets finished off by our rogue who charged out of hiding and stabbed him.

Overall, I had a pretty fun time doing crazy shit. 10/10 would play again.

I'm glad you had fun!

I'm glad I'm not in that gaming group!

I mean, I would've toned it down with the ridiculous maneuvers if the DM wanted, but I think it was much better this way.
