Why you should build your D&D character "wrong"

Here it is... the video that will undoubtedly ruffle a lot of YouTube commenter feathers! This goes public on Wednesday.

Why you should build your D&D character "wrong"

Comments

As a DM for the past 38 years (i started when I was 10) this is a refreshing view. I still play 1st/2nd as I dislike some of the mechanics of the newer editions, not to mention what happened to a few campaign settings. My advice to all DMs and Players has been to play the game you enjoy, and don't worry about the other tables. I will say I have had the opportunity in the past to mess with the munchkin players. When they start the whole min/max and trying to create artifact level magic items, I had no issue with Min/Maxing Dragons, Demons, Devils, and the like (with the complete summoning and time stops in effect) to correct said shenanigans. Needless to say, there was a rerolling of new characters shortly afterwards. Who was more, shall we say, normal. You might check out DungeonCraft on Youtube. He has some great insights on the game and has modified it to suit his table and players.

Awwwww, thanks for this video! The first character I played was a halfling life cleric who refused to do any damage to anything. I had a blast playing her, and she had some awesome moments - stealing enemy weapons were some of my favorites - but I ended up quitting that game because the DM and his girlfriend kept getting frustrated that I wouldn't hit things and the DM apparently made it his Goal In The Campaign to get my character to do damage. It was a bad fit with the group, but was still pretty frustrating for me and is probably a big part of me being WAY more interested in DMing and playing at this point.
