    The second one sort of depends on the player. I've had a few players that have made absolutely ridiculous characters but played them very well and it was a good experience. The first one is a strong no. I've never seen anyone who does a broken meta build do anything beyond ruin everyone's time and complain (or quit) if the DM reins them in at all.

    The first one works in a campaign that expects everyone to do the first one (and where the GM does the same for the enemies). Assuming the character is still a character when looking beyond the stats, that is.

      To be fair, if the DM allows Gestalt, they deserve whatever you throw at them.

        Do you think the people who make Dr Farts want to play with other people who make Dr Farts type characters? And the people who make 1500 dmg/turn combat monsters, do they want to play with other combat monsters? I feel like sometimes no. Sometimes people want to be the odd one out. Which sucks, because a group that's homogeneous on this aspect I think can work pretty well. If everyone's a combat monster the GM can go crazy. But if there's just one or two combat monsters, now they have to figure out how to keep it fun for them and also Bob The Fighter that hits for 1d8+2 each turn.

        In my experience, dr farts is the result of an overabundance of options and lack of foresight. They don’t know what it’d be like, so they try it. Giving players a silly character swap voucher, good for just one session per campaign, solves that. Similar deal for the overjuiced character. (Not usable during story boss encounters) Once people recognize that the boundaries are there to improve their experience, not detract from it, they usually follow the flow of the game and build on others’ characters. If they don’t, chairs are easy to fill.

          So this is my character. Her name is Armpits Esquire and she’s three halfling paladin brothers from a dead order in a trenchcoat. Because of their stacking auras, they are nearly- no, you can continue loading, it gets worse.”

          Okay but *Armpits Esquire* has the kind of whimsy I love best.

            Wait, the DM wants them to choose between the "two extremes" of "I will murder you" and "I will murder you"? Must be AD&D/2.0, NGL.

                  By chance, was the campaign setting based off a non-dnd fantasy novel? If so, I might've been your DM 🙂

                    You just need access to ["Suggestion"](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2619101-suggestion) spell for easy win on so many situations the DM will start raging real soon. That said, can I be a dragon, then?

                      I’m into more listening to game. I’ve never actually laid one. Wouldn’t what you’re describing be pretty pointless. Like super inflation. Okay you’re a millionaire but bread is 1000 so does it really matter? A game where every character is doing 1500… how is that different from every character doing 15 damage gameplay wise? You can add as many zeros as you want but if we all have those extra zeros isn’t it essentially the same?

                              If you're playing D&D for not-the-combat you're doing it wrong, basically every other RPG system handles that better

                                Somewhat similarly, as a character with a good variety of options available in combat, I worry somewhat about the Ranger and Warlock whose turns are pretty much always "I shoot the [x]", but everyone seems to be having a good time so I guess combat gameplay isn't really their bag, idk.

                                  Nah. Doctor Fart can do 1499 damage per turn by level 4.

                                        If anyone wants to do a dr. Farts style campaign let me know. I would love to ref a zany to the max campaign. Be warned that dr. Farts may have to contend with the likes of Detective Vague.
