Current Events > I need some ideas for a DnD Trickster God

(+) Yeah! (+)

so, i'm in one game where i am just an observer, and the DM lets me interact with the players as a Trickster God, so i'm constantly just making shit up to fuck with the players, and i need ideas

so far i've mostly done harmless stuff, like:
"your shoelaces have been tied together, roll a Dex save"
"roll a Wisdom save, fail, you now believe your dick is gone"
"a fox comes up and steals your ring / drags away your axe"
"a bird shits on your head"

also planning to do stuff like:
"all magic this session will be Wild"
"your clothes are full of itching powder"

that kind of stuff.
but i need more ideas, anyone wanna help me?

no one?

you have a raging erection and will die if you do not get laid in one hour. roll charisma to seduce someone at the bar to bang

---

You have now been transmogrified with the closest sentient creature of a different sex and race as you.

For combat purposes use their racial stats/bonuses as your own.

They go to bed in a tavern.

They wake up in the local temple to Bahamut just as the congregation is entering for morning services. They look down to see themselves holding brushes and covered in paint. They look up to see the statue of Bahamut has been painted in the chromatic colors of Tiamat.

no, that is absolutely not the way i'm playing this.
forcing the players to act a certain way is bad enough, and specifically forcing them to commit sexual acts against their will is even worse. definitely crossing a line there

no, get out of here

When they go to meet an important NPC, all of them are shocked to discover that he is actually three goblins in a trenchcoat. He is not, in fact, three goblins in a trenchcoat.

Are you opposed to forcing players to play a different member of the party? As in, mind-swapping? Like taking the partys paladin and sticking him in the body of the partys rogue. Then you have to find some item in a local dungeon to fix the problem.

I guess, on that note, that you could pick up ideas from watching any of the Q episodes from Star Trek TNG, if you happen to enjoy Trek.

i'll have to double check with the DM on that one

thing is, i've only been doing stuff that lasts for like 10 minutes, everybody laughs and then we move on.
i don't know how much i wanna do stuff that impacts the whole session

Become a djinn that randomly shows up to do the "500 gold coins, but (insert obnoxious task or affliction here)" thing.

Yeah, that one would require some planning. Maybe it only lasts for the duration of a drunken tavern brawl?

Dunno much about DnD, so apologies if these aren't very good, but...

-For a set period of time, the party all trade bodies. Mechanically, this means the players must use one another's character sheets.
-The party find an extremely powerful magical weapon, but the first time they use it they find it actually has all the properties of an inflatable squeaky mallet.
-The cleric's prayers are intercepted and transferred to a different god, but the god chooses to help them as if he/she were one of their usual followers. Preferably one as different as possible to the cleric's usual god (e.g. a cleric of the god of war finds him/herself forced to appease the god of flowers).
-The party encounters a unique mimic, which opens the fight on whoever opens it by unleashing a boxing glove on a spring.
-A black cat takes a liking to the party. So long as the cat is with them, all rolls take a penalty based on the character's Luck.
-The party is afflicted with an illusion that causes all NPCs to see them as the opposite sex. No one tells them this.
-A floating crystal begins to follow the party. Every time one of them says a curse word, even as mild as damn or hell, it interrupts them with an extremely loud and grating "BEEP!" and magically fines them three gold.
-They find a treasure chest. Inside is a smaller treasure chest. Inside that is an even smaller treasure chest. Inside that is an even smaller treasure chest, ad infinitum.

i don't know who the Lantern King is

The (weapon) of blinking... they never can pick it up.

A sneezing powder that causes everyone to sneeze 1d4 times every 1d4 hours

Gender swap the entire party.

i don't know who the Lantern King is

A chaotic neutral trickster God in Pathfinder, who plays jokes and schemes on other gods and immortals, or the world on a massive scale.

In the game Pathfinder: Kingmaker he is the real instigator of the conflict, he punished an immortal faerie who wanted to become a goddess by sentencing her to bring down 1000 kingdoms. So, for thousands of years, she manipulates the people of a region into founding kingdoms, then orchestrates its destruction soon after through various means. Because he thought it would be amusing.

Ah, nah.
This trickster god, how i'm playing him, is more on a scale of "it'd be funny if they trip and land face first in mud"

Atleast as far as the players see

Random player find their pants willed with feces. this causes them to have disadvantage on stealth checks until cleaned out. (Never said they pooped their pants, just that some happened to be in there now)

A talking animal of some sort pops up and entices them with promises of riches beyond their wildest dreams and leads them to a pile of pinecones painted gold.

The rogue of the group of convinced he has found some of the best armor ever; it's actually a hunter orange bikini.

A YouTube Skeptic-type that doesn't believe in various rare DnD monsters, who also insists that the elf hiring quotas in the temples are examples on inequality and that there is no wage gap between warriors and wizards

I should've read the topic I thought you needed a character
