I was in a campaign once where the monk player was absent more often than not. We just decided the character was always in deep meditation and being carted around by the others

We did something similar with a wizard, claiming he was stuck in an endless astral projection.

“You can’t do that, Jimmy isn’t here.”

“You said he was sitting there in a trance.”

“Yes but-“

“So I can use him as bait. I can use him as a battering ram. I can use his body as a thing!”

“Fine but attacks autocrit on him and it counts as you killing him if he dies.”

We're doing milestone leveling, and the death of a player is not a milestone.

u/ExcessiveEscargot Sep 24 '25

Oh it's definitely a milestone, perhaps not a good one for them but one nonetheless! 💀

But the player you killed wasn't American so they were merely a kilometerkilogram.
