thinking about how my first ever dnd character's introduction to their party was basically a sketch straight out of a looney tunes cartoon where someone is like "heh, step aside ladies... i'll show you how it's done 😏" only to immediately eat shit and explode and ragdoll to the ground in the family guy death pose but be inexplicably fine by the next scene
like i'm not remotely exaggerating our first encounter was with an earth elemental we were supposed to work together as a party to defeat, but i rolled a nat 20 and got so excited that i forgot counterattacks were a thing i had to watch out for, so i charged straight at it and hit it with my sword (which did a laughable amount of damage, because we were all low level players) only to immediately get fucking clotheslined by the thing from the fantastic four's asshole cousin and splattered against a wall like a bug on a windshield, which would have ended my entire career in a single session if our bard hadn't rolled a successful revivify
POV you're my dnd party meeting me for the first time
