My husband who is also our DM starts every combat session with “just remember, I love you guys.”

3 of my 4 players showed up for first session, one had to leave super early, later on it threw 3 goblins at them, the Sorcerer almost died and the fighter kept not quite killing them

Every session our dm chooses violence, which is especially bad for me because I’m a cleric and it’s my job to keep the gang alive 😭

i mean ... sometimes the book itself is wrong. I've thrown cr14 creatures at my party who were level 5 and it was a breeze for them but later on they took on a band of cr5 at 14th and they were nearly tpked.

AmorphousPidgeon :
That’s not a homebrew issue, that’s a dm balancing issue. DMs SHOULD homebrew monsters frequently to keep players on their toes and to avoid metagaming.

Because 5e’s source monsters are criminally underleveled and meant to be thrown at parties in numbers that would make the imperial guard blush

also like man, sometimes your players just know monsters too well so you have to make something horrible

EnderRuin :
Bro we fought a guy who’s second phase made him IMMUNE TO EVERYTHING BUT RADIANT AND PSYCHIC DAMAGE. the only sources of that we had was the Soulknife rogue and the Warlock’s radiant dagger😭 AND HE WAS ONE OF THREE PEOPLE WE FOUGHT IN THAT BATTLE. FIGHTER AND BARBARIAN WERE DOWN WHEN THE ROGUE MANAGED TO FINISH HIM OFF.

See I do promise my players that I will never kill their characters unless they express they are cool with it (I dm a lot of roleplay heavy campaigns), but that doesn’t mean I won’t make them sweat. Just a little.

Unfortunately for my players I'm a Monster Hunter fan who has a special interest in all things horror. I am only sometimes sorry to my players

as a GM, it's because you give the party ONE mimic, & now they're destroying cupboards EVERYWHERE

So I've played with veteran players who have memorized statblocks, or will look them up if they can. Homebrew robs bad/meta gaming players of that option.

I had my players fight a mimic once but...... it was an entire hotel. Not just a table or something

Once our party was looting a treasure room turns out the treasure room was a mommy mimic and there were hundreds of baby mimics inside her ✨😭

This was my party in the mini campaign I ran when they decided to fight the optional boss. It was a modified nightwalker made with/from corrupted energy from the world tree and was made to be a lower rank of beings made to be god killers 😈

My parties worst nemesis was not the oblex, was not even the Demi-god. It was the giant scorpion that almost tpked them
