20 Types Of Dungeons And Dragons Players

Marie Christensen

The more things change, the more things stay the same, and you've definitely played with at least a few of these players before.

1. The one who submits a novelette beforehand.

"When my character was 5, a plague wiped out his/her village..."

2. The one who’s full of jokes.

"I'd like to name my character Mr. McStabby."

3. The emo one.

"I've been on the streets since before I can remember..."

4. The one who finds their character along the way.

"I have a race and a class. What else does a level 1 character really need?"

5. The one who always multi-classes.

"I'll be a cleric! Or a druid... or a paladin! Or a rogue... or ALL OF THEM!"

6. The one whose roleplay is out of this world.

"I really prefer LARPing, but this will do."

7. The one who can’t—or won’t—take a hit.

"I have 7 hit points! Do you hear me? 7!"

8. The one who always resorts to extreme violence.

"I draw my sword and charge."

9. The rules lawyer.

"Um, yeah, DM? On page 64, it actually says..."

10. The one who uses expendable characters, replacing them whenenver they die.

"The DM's got nothing on me. COME AT ME!"

11. The one who is always the same class.

"I just really connect with rangers, you know?"

12. The one with a better character in reserve, who just wants their druid to die so they can play a warlock.

"I thought I wanted to keep it wholesome. I have never been more wrong."

13. The one evil character in a good campaign.

"I never wanted to keep it wholesome."

14. The shopper.

"Yeah, uh-huh, can I use Persuasion to haggle that down a bit?"

15. The DM player character.

"Someone's got to herd the cats."

16. The one who insight checks the other players. Every. Time.

"Hi, my name is..." "I ROLL INSIGHT."

17. The true-neutral who is neutral about EVERYTHING.

"Murder? If I'm paid. A whole village is burning? Whatever. The end of the world as we know it? Sure thing. Pass me another drink."

18. The lawful good paladin who won’t let anyone have any fun... but who saves the DM by making the plot progress.

"I drag my companions by the hand out of the store and toward the next quest giver."

19. The one who knows every spell they’re going to take between now and level 20.

"We just made the next level? It's okay, guys, I don't need the book. I have the spell list right here."

20. The one with the paragraph-long name.

"Hi, my name is Jormanas Olamaris Flengherbrook de Rolo, Arlcount of Swindmore and Mage-Initiate of the Grand House of Magical Arts, the Third."

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Illistrated image of people crowded with banners to support a cause

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1741

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.
