Welcome to R/Best of Redditor updates, where a couple of Dungeons Dragons players discover that the real bad guy is their dungeon master. Our next Reddit post comes from R/D Next, which is a Dungeons Dragons subreddit for all the cool people out there. Detect Magic blinded my character when I used it on an apparent divine artifact. Am I overreacting when I confronted the DM at that moment? The Dungeon Master said that the magical aura I saw was so bright and strong that it blinded me. I failed a DC-20 constitution save, which, if you don't know, is a very, very difficult save to make. But the spell doesn't say anything like that, nor can I find any rules about this. I was confused when that happened, so I asked the DM to show me where that was in the books.
He said it's his rule. But there was no warning whatsoever, nor were we informed about any house rules like that. If I knew there was more to the spell than what was written in the books, then I wouldn't have used it. I couldn't do anything because I need line of sight on most of my spells.
Why did the Detect Magic spell blind the character and is that rule‑consistent?
I got downed three times and my party exhausted all their healing on me. After the game, I expressed my frustration, how it sucks so much, and I didn't find that fun. Only to be told, well, maybe you shouldn't poke your nose into everything. Now my character is blinded permanently. I was told to take a level in a martial class and take the blind fighting feat, or was given the option to constantly see through a familiar's eyes instead, but I'll have one last spell slot in every slot level. We're level 5 right now. Or roll a new character if I want to. Then, two days later, OP posted an update. There is no DD game anymore. John, the DM, left the club. And he got banned from the community. Why? Well, yesterday, two fellow players, Jerry and Jack, confronted John over Discord about it, and I'm Asian, a Filipino immigrant.
John ranted about me and my appearance. I'm pretty sure. To be frank, have you ever seen a Filipino dude taller than 167 centimeters? And he has a problem with me dating a white Australian woman. He was saying that my partner could do better and find someone else in her league. He also started ranting about Indians and Pakistanis for some reason. He probably thought that I was one of those because of my brown skin. Apparently, when we We joined the first day, he was going to make a joke about my relationship, but he held it in consideration for my partner. She has a pride pin on her satchel, and John thought the joke would be too much for her and didn't want to get cancelled or reported. He also said some misogynistic things towards my partner about her genes and stuff.
The thing that made him snap, making my wizard permanently blind, was. Was when me and my partner shared food with each other that night. We didn't feed each other or drink from the same cup, nothing like that. All we did was split our food and shared it so that each other could both enjoy. I got katsu chicken, which didn't come with any rice, WTF, and she got fried rice. John found that very cringy. It wasn't the food being an issue. We all had our own food. And the other players, Jerry and Jack, thinks that John got very jealous when we did that. Jerry and Jack called him the Aussie C-word, then ghosted him, then told us about it today. That's it! That's the update. Well, OP, you started the DD game with you and your fellow adventurers storming an evil villain's lair, and then in the real world,
World, your fellow players helped you fight off against an evil racist scumbag.
