@hamasamakun: I will not be taking criticism on this #dnd #dndtiktok #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #fyp

Prowmar :

I think the “rule of cool” is the best thing in DND, like yeah it failed but what you did was either so cool or so funny it’s gonna work anyways

Ryan Orpen :

its a very common thing for a great DM to do, whenever you hear Matt Mercer say 'ill allow it' he's bending the rules to keep the fun going

Aegon iii’s number one fan :

As a dm… if I wanna give you cool lore and you failed.. no you didn’t, lol.

String Worm :

We have a rule at our table, that your speech matters more than the dice like based on the quality of your speech depends on if you get advantage disadvantage, etc. I was able to stop the bbeg of out campaig with my speech z

Mike Lausier :

It does say the GM has final say on all rules. What you discribed is "Divine intervention"

Mad Heretek :

Rule 0 is that the DM can alter anything in the rules as needed to make the game fun and appealing for the entire table, I think this definitely falls under that. If you give a badass speech in character and pump up the rest of the party, I don’t care what the dice say, you succeed on your role.

zombiehobo69 :

Don’t forget, failure doesn’t mean not accomplishing a goal. Just that they didnt do it the way they want. Nat 1 a sleight of hand in the castle jail? “The lock gives an ear splitting screech as the tumblers finally move and the door swings open. You can hear the guards stomping above you. You have 4 turns until they get down here”

Unkle Slime :

If you manage to actually inspire me or impress me you succeed, no ands ifs or buts

Hollowed DM :

ok if one of my holy warriors has a two minute speech to hundreds of soldiers to inspire them I'm giving him infinite inspiration and letting him auto succeed the performance sheck

Bilby :

nha if it faild it faild but it can faild successfully if tou roll a nat 1 on a charisma chec it gonna break the immersion if you play like the guys roll a 20 but you can make like the guys roll a 1 but still convince the other

WITCHY 𖤐 :

Rule of Cool and DM’s Discretion. If y’all impress me but the dice roll is too low I’ll just let you pass. This is a game and is meant to be fun. I’ll always go with the funnier/more interesting/furthers the plot option everyday.

Mianina (Mia) :

the rule of cool wins 🥰🤣

King Mystic III :

my dm let one of our party member continue speaking without making any checks because "he was speaking like someone with 8 charisma" lol

Adragonwrites :

Rule of cool sometimes ignores the dice

deepfriedpopsicle :

my DM actually does this for charisma checks, the DC is based on what I say.

PanGod :

just as a friend reminder that technically a roll is only required for uncertain outcomes

Sarah Mohr :

that's literally DMs job to decide that 🥰

Ari :

Why would I send this to my players? I already knew this and it works better if they don’t know I’m using this technique.

rokit45678 :

me when I roll a one and the DM says yep that works🤔🤔

Ryan Sigourney :

Rule of cool is my favorite rule to play by

benjigamer1o1 :

You only have to make them roll if you want risk, if they make a convincing argument then just give them a success

ThestralKing :

I always tell my players that I add an "invisible" role play modifier depending on how they role play it, and that always works really well for my table

SmolBunny :

I just make up the difficulty depending on my immediate mood

Sillince :

Bonus depending on how good the speech was. Good but not the best give them a +1. over the top fantastic+3-4
