Witnessed in my friendās campaign.
Friend of mine asked the GM if his friend could join our campaign. Graduated with a bachelors in fine arts and my friend thought he would bring interesting role-play to our games. So all of us start thinking to ourselves āthis guys gonna be at Bardā but we were all surprised to find he actually was a Monk.
And not just a monk. The Bob Ross of monks. The nicest yet simultaneously the most terrifying character weād ever witnessed. This is the story of how he beat the first serious boss of our campaign.
We were pinned behind cover vs a Gunslinger.
Gunslinger: āCome out. Come out. Wherever you are SO I CAN SHOOT YOU!ā
Party talks about what to do and Monk is silent.
Then, as we are talking, he yells, āOk. Iāll come out, but you better make that shot count!ā
Monk OOC: āSo thereās about 40 ft between me and him right?ā
GM: āYeah, and your speed would let you get there.ā
Monk OOC: āOk, but I deliberately want to walk slow enough so he gets a chance to shoot me.ā
Monk going towards him slowly: āShow me what youāve got.ā
Gunslinger: āYouāre some kind of stupid, boy!ā *Shoots*
GM: āThatās a hit. You take.ā
Monk OOC: āI use Snatch Arrows.ā
GM: āWaitā¦does that work on bullets?ā
-One Rulebook Check later-
GM: āOk so the rifle goes off and *Monk* reaches up faster than any of you can see and catches the bullet with two fingers. *Gunslinger* turns white as a sheet.ā
Monk then proceeds to walk up and take a seat next to the guy, putting an arm around his shoulders while holding the bullet in his other hand.
Monk: āHey, friend. Looks like you almost lost this. Good thing I grabbed it for you, huh? Why donāt you put the gun down before you lose any more?ā
Monk OOC: āIn case itās not clear thatās an intimidate.ā
GM: āOk, roll for me.ā
GM: āOf course it is. *Gunslinger* immediately puts his gun down in front of him and actually starts crying.ā
Monk patting Gunslingerās back: āAw, there, there buddy. You almost got me. Why donāt you come with us now? Hands behind your back please. Iād hate to have to chase you.ā
Our Wizard OOC to my friend: āSo why did you never tell us your friend was Ace Ventura?ā
