I'm talking about the Avengers team from the first movie, so basically Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

My thoughts are Artificer for Iron Man, Barbarian for Hulk, Paladin for Thor, Ranger for Hawkeye, Rogue for Black Widow and possibly Fighter for Cap. What do you guys think?

During one negotiation with faes, one of them asked the bard in my party if they can keep a secret. She said yes and in fae logic that is something binding. I dumped on her (through the fairy) a bunch of information, including that a place that another PC wants to travel to is a trap that might get him killed. Right after she learnt this secret, the other PC traded for a map of this place.

So now she's torn. She can't tell him, and she can't act in a way that is too obvious that she knows a secret related to this place, but she wants to protect the other PC.

For now I'm ruling that she can do things because of what she knows. But if her actions lead to someone working out the secret, that counts as breaking the promise to the fairy.

My questions:

1. What should I do if she breaks it?

One option is that she loses the ability to deceive, automatically failing all her deception checks, but she's the bard and the face of the party so that might be brutal. The other option is that she won't be able to outright lie anymore, but can use deception through misdirection and technically true statements.

2. She now wants to secretly try and steal the map. She asked me in private if she could steal it herself (but that would risk giving away the secret) or if she could bargain once more with a fairy borrower who could steal it for her, but at the risk of being outed by the fairy.

How would you handle this situation?

Just to be clear: I'm not taking away players' agency, the PC can still travel to that place and survive, but he will be honey trapped and the deck is stacked against him. Mine was more of a warning trying to give the bard a moral dilemma.

DND Role-Play

Or idk that’s what I’m calling it.

I’ve never played DND.

I’ve listened to it on a Podcast on Spotify for a year.

-
What all do I need to do or know or so on for me to be able to have my own character and join?

I’ve tried using Ai, and well..
ai got carried away and we made the character and all its info and so on but then next thing I know the ai is asking me more questions to further the characters storyline past when my character was to join the team/party.. I didn’t catch on until maybe 28% into the story line

I asked, wait— are we making choices into the story line and already done creating?
Ai said yes, and admitted to getting carried away.

So for all of the experienced players..

What all info or data do I need to have including background for my character before I can join my friends?

I just obtained the wish spell in my dnd campaign and I was looking for stories of the wish spell either gone wrong or it worked the way you wanted it to.

I’m Looking for a monster to summon as a final boss for a level 6 party of 5(plus some npcs). I’m going to use lines from the song “the thing that should not be” by Metallica as cryptic rhymes about the big bad and wanted to find something to fit that. The plan is to have it summoned to wipe out a small coastal part of an island. I also have some other rhymes I made that I might use that I’ll put at the end.

Lyrics:
Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light
Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for father, roaming free

Crawling chaos, underground
Cult has summoned, twisted sound
Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death

Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die
Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be

Chorus:
Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep
Has been upset
He awakens
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Other rhymes:
He seeks to send you all to hell
Beware, you should, the toll of bells
A temple cleansed, a gate for a god
Can only lead to a place most odd
A gate that leads to your peril
To some kind of god, tame or feral
