Misfits – a 5e FusterCluck

If you’ve never played Weave “Goblins R Jerks,” this is going to sound utterly insane, but . . .

You aren’t the heroes the world wanted. You aren’t even the heroes the world needed. You are most likely the cautionary tale that parents tell their children to convince them to not be an adventurer:

But, hey, you are here, and you might have a weapon or a skill – or at least a frying pan and pants, and friends.. maybe they are friends or allies? are they friends? frenemies? It doesn’t matter. We’ll figure it out as we go.

A Word of Caution

Don’t get too attached. They might not (probably wont) survive. These are designed to be one shots or extended one-shots for laughter and fun and general story telling.

How to build your character: Follow all the rules here: TTRPG Campaign Rules with the following further restrictions:

1. Only the following standard races: bugbear, dwarf, elf, firbolg, gnome, half-elf, half-orc, halfling or human
   1. NO variant humans! You don’t get special feats… you aren’t spechul 🤦‍♂️
2. You are level 1 (barely) unless otherwise stated by the DM.
3. There are no ability requirements for any class (no matter how bad you are. )
   1. Bard with an 8 CHA? You do you. Go sing the song of your people! 🎼
4. Once you decide your attributes, subtract 3 from ALL of them. Yes. that one too.

Note: The easiest way to do this in DNDBeyond is to go to the Ability score page and add in an Other Modifier, like this:

As far as actual scores go, you have two options:

1. If you want to manually write in your scores it is as thus:
   • 12, 11, 10, 9, 7, 5
2. You can also point buy, but NO 15 purchases. 14 is max. Something like this:

When choosing your equipment. think of your backstory. If you are a cook turned fighter, maybe you have a baking pan as a shield and a frying pan as a club.

Maybe you aren’t even an adventurer:

• you are investigating missing groceries and foods from your shop
• or perhaps times are tough and this is a last ditch effort to feed your family.
• or you lost a drunken bar bet after stating “its easy to be a fighter. if he can do it. I can do it.”
• a new bride in search of her husband the adventurer
  • he might be missing.. or he might have just “NOPED” out and left.
