Yeah, I wish. Okay. DM kills my character for no reason. This story happened a couple of years ago. Basically, it was me and I think three or four other friends. Typically, I would DM, and after my campaign fizzled out for whatever reason, one of my players wanted to try DMing. I helped him set up a campaign. The time comes for him to start DMing the campaign I helped him build.

I think we started at level one or two. I was playing a tiefling bard. The other players were, I think, a druid, a barbarian, and an artificer. After a couple of sessions, it was going pretty smooth. We were having a good time. At one point, I had to miss a session, but it was cool with them continuing without me.

The next session, I was there, and I joined back with the party before we went into a dungeon. We went into the dungeon, and we were going through it like normal, just some puzzles. But before our first combat, the DM decided to tell me that since I was rusty after missing a session, I had disadvantage on every role in combat. That annoyed me, but I just went with it.

I had taken some damage but figured I'd be fine because I usually play backline support. Eventually, we approach a big door, and I decide to enter the room and suddenly get attacked by a big bird, and it takes me down to one hit point. The rest of the party makes their way in to try to help me, but DM decides that despite my teammates wanting to protect me,

and attacking the bird, the DM decides that the bird continues to attack me, obviously downing me. I'm a little baffled at that decision, but it's whatever. So I just start rolling my saving throws on my turn, but DM says the bird continues to attack me because it hates you. So it hits me again. And I don't know if this is a real rule, but he said that it's an automatic two failed death saves.

That's true, but... Oh, that's real.

If you get hit in melee and you're making your death saves, it's two failed death saves, but... I had succeeded my first death save, and I succeeded the next one after the attack. So I was hoping to hold out for one more round to survive, but for some reason this bird takes a legendary action. Despite this not even being a boss, not meaning to be a tough encounter, just a creature in a dungeon.

This is the SpongeBob, I don't know, I guess he just doesn't like you. And it kills me for this, I would hope understandably, pisses me off because there is no reason a DM should fish for a kill like that. I was just stuck spectating afterward and sat there for upward of an hour. After that session, I was barely invested in my character or the story. You could read a visual novel.

You could play four of my girlfriend's visual novels. After that session, I was barely invested in my character or the story because the DM set the precedent that he could just kill me out of the blue and remove my story from the rest of the campaign. I think the campaign ended fine, but I just had zero agency for the rest of the campaign. George, can I ask a question? He hates you.

Yeah, like a floor-dwelling bird. Oh, a floor-dwelling bird. So like an ostrich?
