Welcome to DnD: One Stop Shop! We're actively building a single spot for beginners to learn about the game and experienced players to find a community of likeminded leaders within the community! Introduce yourself to the community and get involved!

So I like to do this on whatever D&D forums I join, both to illicit those sweet nostalgic memories, and to help myself and others in their own gaming. I'll ask questions about past games you've played or DM'd, and everyone is invited to reply with their answer. This one is for DMs and players. (I am referring to non-romantic love in this question.) 》DMs: Who was one NPC you made that your players just loved? What did they love about that NPC? Was your intention in creating that NPC to have your players interact so much, or was it kind of "throw away" NPC you made up in the moment. Did your NPC's life change due to the players getting more involved than you thought they would? 》Players: Who was one NPC you DM made that you loved? What was it about that NPC that got your attention? Is there a particular moment you find extremely memorable you'd like to share?

The door has slammed shut and locked behind you! You and your party have entered a dungeon room about 30 feet wide, 60 feet long, and 12 feet tall. The door you entered is on the 30-foot wall, so you're facing the long direction of the room. In the middle of the room is a chasm or hole that is as wide as the room, preventing you from crossing to the other side. The room's walls and ceiling extend the whole way, so only the floor is open. The chasm is about 15 feet wide, but you must cross to reach the other side's open door. The only thing on the other side is a three-foot-high square stone post. It is about a foot thick. You only have the standard adventurers' equipment and level-three skills and magic. 1) Pick your race. 2) Pick your class. 3) Decide how you will cross. Be as creative as you can! 4) If someone posts before you, you can incorporate that into your solution. 5) Assume you rolled a 15 on all d20 skill checks and saving throws.
