Druid: “Okay, can you explain what has happened?”
Druid Spell Target: “Oh, absolutely. But you need to do me one favor, first.”
Druid: “Anything, just name it.”
Druid Spell Target: “EXTINGUISH ME!!!”
Animal: “I’m on fire, do you mind?”
Druid: “No, I don’t mind at all.”
That 'stache tho.
When your party doesn’t have a Cleric, but you don’t want to be a religious fruitcake to support your party, so you just roll up a Circle of the Shepherd druid and get the side bonus of being able to talk to all the beasts, all the time, no need to fw spell slots. And then take Message as a cantrip because you rolled High Elf lineage. Become the single greatest reconnaissance member your party has ever seen.
Wizard did it.
Ww? What?? It wasn’t me!
Yeah it was.
Are you really saying you saw the wizard do it?
No, but it was him.
It’s not the wizards fault they just got access to fireball. That forest was asking for it anyways.
Other excuses in this vein:
- DM shouldn’t have provided such a target rich environment
- Had to be sure they weren’t all mimics and/or tree blights
