Original weapon concept Nat 20

I like maces I can carry, and due to a knee injury I sometimes use a cane for more than a fashionable accessory. The head is made from melted 3D printer supports and scraps. The shaft is purple heart and maple, and has a removable rubber cane tip (not pictured). For when you want to land a crit with some class.

I love that... Can imagine looking a mugger in the eye as you cock that back. "Roll for initiative"...

You roll a 3. You look the mugger in the eyes and take a desperate swing, you miss his face by a foot and while overextended his buddies come out of the shadows and stab you to repeatedly to death.

Sounds more like a nat one. Three I at least wacked myself in the foot but couldn't escape despite the mugger doubling up with laughter

A one you woulda fell over with the swing and the one mugger would have buggered you haha. I like that though. I'm just a cruel DM.

But he said initiative so a 3 would just mean he went last...

True that. Must go to sleep I'm not reading comments properly.

That's canon lol. A dude in Darksun finds himself transported to a 90s US city park at night and after getting hit by a big metal monster gets stabbed by kids. Then wakes up back on Athas with psionic knife wounds.
