Brutal Nat 1's makes me want to quit.
My DM runs a homebrew campaign. I joined the group for this campaign but the nat 1 system he uses makes me dislike my character.
Here are some examples:
Roll nat 1 in combat - you automatically hit an ally instead.
Roll nat 1 on intimidation - you scare yourself instead so much so that you pee yourself and slip in your own urine hit your head and take 6 damage.
Roll nat 1 on perception - you get dust in your eyes take 4 damage and have disadvantage on all perception checks until rest.
Roll nat 1 on a save - you take double the damage.
I really like the other players and love to play with them, they were very welcoming even when i was new to the group. But the DM is rubbing me a bit the wrong way. I can handle the scarcity of magic items and the underwhelming power of our characters compared to the monsters. But it seems like it is the DM versus the players and all about making the player characters the butt of the joke, where i was hoping for a heroic adventure. Would it be unreasonable to quit over this? The others seems fine with it, at least they dont say anything. I'm just the new person.
Edit: After reading your replies i decided to quit effective immediately as most confirmed that i was not just imagining that these were dumb rules. Since my DM is a man and significantly older than me and don't have a decent view on womens opinions i decided to do so as quietly as possible.
I sent him a message explaining that i did not find myself right for his campaign. Wished him luck and texted the other members saying that i quit and would love to hang out and just chat or play some board games if any of them wanted.
I will be looking for another group, and do more research on what rules they use before joining.
Thank you for the replies, some of you at lightning speed.
