Every single boss in my campaign is a leveled bard. I'm proving a point by minmaxing the shit out of them, but they are all legal characters. My players are gonna hate it when every boss reveal starts with a Broadway musical. My favorite is a bard with some druid spells, a speed potion, and a couple other secrets making his base speed 120. Add in tree stride, and the party will never know from what direction he will strike. High dex means high ac and a finesse weapon. Get in, strike, get out. Plenty of attacks of opportunity for the players, so it's not completely cheesing. I could give him a ranged weapon but that tastes like cheese. I want the players to have an actual hard fight with a chance to win. All this, all of it, was because my wife asked me to make a bard boss and I ran with it.They better get a vicious mockery that is just giggling

Wolves have an intelligence of 3, few beasts "more mindless" would be aggressive enough to face tank the party. I guess all I'm really saying is that there really isn't that much in the game that should stand and deliver against the closest enemy until it diesI give the wolf mentats, then cast Tasha's hideous laughter

Do people who make these memes actually play at tables like this, or is this hyperbole for the sake of clicks? Do they play at all?

Wizard I ran DND for in didn't love this, but understood it. The real problem with that group is we kept changing DMs, and some were a lot more easy going. You gotta get on the same page as a groupRotating GMs in the same campaign can work with some differences in things like this, sort of like different directors/writers for episodes of a TV show. Some weeks, there might be characters who seem favored by the gods or cast into the deepest pits of misfortune, and then the other way around the very next adventure.

It's hard to say if my previous group worked better because they were used to my style, or just a better fit for me, or some other factor.
