My friend played Farmer Bob at a larp. His village had a legend that the chosen one would come from the village to defeat the great evil. When things got bad enough they picked him because he was the only one who was literate at the time, so they figured that was heroic enough.
Heard one on the weekend - a party of warlocks who are all each other’s patrons through the power of friendship.
“If the moon is real how come I always black out when it is allegedly supposed to appear?”
I’ve been that druid 😂 except I diversified my inventory after picking up circle of spores
The peasant farmer I’ve played as a halfling artificer with halfling luck. He never improved much, aside from rolling with the punches a bit better. In fact, he hadn’t any clue what his equipment was or how it worked. Things just kept happening for him and the party refused to let him leave.
The running joke was that he’s lucky enough to stumble into unfathomable power, wealth, and fame, but not lucky enough to find the mundane life of peace he was looking for.
These are fantastic. The hat+mannequin seems like it would have a lot of RP potential. Ditto for the midlife crisis.
There’s a longer and better version of this that has a fanart of it
I would like to see that.
Edit: Found it!

I love these soooo much.
In Pathfinder, as a Tanuki you can take a feat called Teakettle Form that allows you to change into a inanimate object (like a hat) and if you’re a witch you can have your familiar take a humanoid form.
i really need to find a pathfinder game it has fun sounding classes. do the tanuki have magic scrotum power or do i have to RP that
Convince your GM to let you reflavor “Iron Belly” which gives you a 1d6 bludgeoning attack.
hell yes i gotta look up more mythical japanese tanuki abilities and make sure i can get them
How the fuck did we not get Tanuki in WotR instead of Kitsune? This is bonkers amazing, and better be included if Owlcat does another one.
They’re terrible on their own, in an otherwise regular(lol) campaign. Together, as a party, they form something magical
Only one that’s terrible is the washboard bard, but that’s just my personal dislike of the horny bard trope
I once played an ace bard. He only cares about the music. He also unconditionally oozed sex appeal.
I also played an ace bard (technically bardlock but whatever)! He was a satyr but deer instead of goat and the campaign had him slowly change from just a silly little guy to eventually taking the tragedy subclass. Very fun to play
I also had an ace bard! Red dragonborn who was head cheerleader at his school and only wanted a puppy during the campaign. The puppy then proceeded to be carried around on said bard’s head.
Hey, I came up with the peasant farmer idea myself, like 10 years ago.
My character was this: A 36 year old blond guy, he farms watermelons and sells them at the village square. He is married with two kids but has a very selfish and idiotic personality. Leaves his family behind to “make his own destiny”. Always says pseudo-inspirational shit. He is a rogue but extremely clumsy and often has trouble with how he carries himself, he is the opposite of smooth.
I think everyone tries fielding a commoner or “normal” person at least once.
My version was a nobleman’s son that just “wanted to try this adventuring thing out.” He wound up bankrolling the entire campaign, right up until he died in the second encounter.
That’s amazing lol.
Giant snails in 5e can be defeated by a Commoner throwing rocks. They have a speed of 10 feet and an AC of 15 while in their shell. The same trick even works on both versions of a Flail Snail, though it takes longer.
Fuck that’s cool
yeah, i like the hat being a cursed hermit crab that acquires new, uh, “transport” each level making them stronger.
The peasant farmer, hat & druid are my favs 🤣
i can’t remember in which system i read the class that does a lot of drugs to gain powers.
also the peasant farmer would make a great warlock
I got a DM to let me play a 3.5e ninja but lie to the party and tell them I was a bard.
