I am playing a low Int low Wis character in one campaign at the moment. I am RPing him as the kind of dipshit who is only right by accident, and loves giving fatherly advice. It's hilarious. (I got party and DM buyin before playing the ideas man as a complete idiot.)

I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.

The dnd equivalent of a molotov is summon greater demon in this context. Summon it, let it kill the enemy you’re fighting, then you have to fight the demon you summoned instead

The dnd equivalent of a molotov

Sometimes the DnD equivalent to a molotov is just a molotov. You don't need spell slots to make things better bad in a different way.

I am aware of Fireball's area effect and I am casting it as intended.

I didn't ask how big the room was.

u/OPsuxdick Jan 11 '23

I'm going to use it and IM going to like it.

This was how we ended up killing the BBEG of our last game. Warlock wasn't going to end the campaign without summoning a demon in an enclosed space, my wild magic barbarian had a lot of good rolls and didn't believe in death, and BBEG had such awful rolls (the DM showed us) that it was just a clusterfuck the BBEG was not prepared for. It was hilarious and weirdly more satisfying than an honorable fight. Also my barb died to the damn demon lmao

As my partner calls it "summon greater mistake" along with "summon lesser mistake"

u/Cube4Add5 Sorcerer Jan 11 '23

At least with summon lesser mistake they disappear when you end the spell

u/NotAplicable Jan 11 '23

In all seriousness, how bad of an idea would this be to try with a character specifically designed for fighting demons?

7

u/Cube4Add5 Sorcerer Jan 11 '23

Probably pretty good. You could do a hexblade/paladin multiclass to get you demon summoning and anti-demon spells/features such as the Oath of the Watchers/Ancients/Devotion channel divinities that can all turn fiends. Plus everyone knows how good hexblade/paladin is

u/auraseer Jan 11 '23

And if you're very lucky, it happens in that order.

u/cumquistador6969 Jan 11 '23

Personally I prefer a sack of uncontrolled skeletal rats.

Really brings new life to a party.

u/MalikVonLuzon Jan 11 '23

I would've imagined that the dnd equivalent of a molotov is a fireball

u/IceFire909 Jan 11 '23

It's called investing in XP

The delivery of that line was so, so good.

Everytime I have to think of low int high wis character I always end up thinking of Jason

105

u/SpaceGangrel Jan 10 '23

Pretty sure he's low int/low wis/high cha haha

73

u/Polytheus93 Jan 10 '23

The only reason I say high wisdom is that since the first episode, too many things he's said as a dumb throw away line was relevant to the plot. Otherwise, absolutely low low hi

26

u/Teh-Esprite Warlock Jan 11 '23

That's his charisma, those things weren't relevant until he invoked them.

8

u/Polytheus93 Jan 11 '23

Invoking them? It's not like anything would have happened otherwise

3

u/Teh-Esprite Warlock Jan 11 '23

What I mean is they weren't important because of the physical words that were said, they were important because Jason said them.

2

u/UltimateInferno Jan 11 '23

He's a sorcerer

14

u/SpringenHans Jan 11 '23

Jason figured it out? JASON?

12

u/Finito-1994 Jan 11 '23

Dude was the first one to suspect something was up in the first neighborhood. He did think they were in a game show.

u/dmon654 Jan 10 '23

The only people that actually listened to him were a junky that could only roll 1 on Wisdom saves and a divine android literally programed to listen to everyone.

18

u/pyronius Jan 11 '23

Again: Not an android, not divine.

29

u/DrRagnorocktopus Forever DM Jan 10 '23

I mean, that does kinda make sense. Just probability wise if your making a bunch of plans about how to do dangerous stuff, eventually one is gonna get you killed. That doesn't mean it was necessarily a bad plan.

62

u/gingerdude97 Jan 10 '23

In case you haven’t watched the show, the plan that got him killed was that he locked himself inside of a safe, had a friend try to install the safe in a restaurant, he would hop out and steal the recipes of the restaurant, go back into the safe, and his friend would remove it then.

He suffocated, not helped by the fact that he used a bunch of aerosol cans to get himself high while he was in the safe

26

u/DrRagnorocktopus Forever DM Jan 10 '23

Yeah, that is a stupid plan.

30

u/fghjconner Jan 11 '23

I mean, he did consider that he might suffocate, which is why he brought a snorkel.

u/jpterodactyl Jan 11 '23

“And I’m only just now realizing why that didn’t work”

12

u/ap0st Jan 11 '23

I’m pretty sure they were after the money not the recipes. His partner even asks them to show him where they keep the guacamole money which is one Of my favorite lines

2

u/gingerdude97 Jan 11 '23

Ah, it’s been a while, must’ve misremembered

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '23

But he brought a snorkel!

Wow, a hwfwm reference in the wild, wild

u/artrald-7083 Jan 11 '23

Imagine, like, Jason but he is a Warhammer Fantasy esque dwarf trollslayer.

u/AnimatorFresh8841 Jan 11 '23

Nice to see some Good Place reference
