Out of your current players, who is the punching bag of the party?

IC - my PC (tough brawler, can take it).
OOC - the GM.

He may also be a furry, jury is still out

tends to be me. Part of it is that the rest of the party can sit and discuss things for an hour and I'm the only one who will actually do anything.
>>
It rotates between our draconic sorcerer who's constantly plagued by bad luck and our idiot paladin.
>>
>>47494795

Our 5e game has an improbable Dwarf Paladin/Barbarian who wears no armour and wields a quarterstaff. He generally gets KO'd once per session because Leeroy Jenkins

The same player's currently using a "support" Sorceror in our Ravenloft game, so things haven't been going too well for him.
>>
>>47494795
I'm the tank of our party so if I'm the punching bag that means I'm doing my job right.
>>
Not who the party beats up on, but the sorcerer has basically almost died every session so far. I think my favorite is still the first time when the party unintentionally left open a direct path to the sorcerer for a work to run through without provoking attacks of opportunity.
>>
>>47494795
The GMPC Wizard. Dude's been stabbed, skinned, crushed by two separate dragons, shot by a psychic railgun, electrocuted, set on fire, dunked in acid, decapitated twice, Kali-ma'd, torn in half by mechano-zombie lions, eviscerated, shot and thrown from an airship.
The only thing that's kept him alive through this is the combination of advantages, bloodline powers, and Anti-Ki abilities that give him toon-level survivability.
The party has often thrown him, literally, into traps when they didn't feel like finding a way around them, or when they were in a hurry.

me.

Out of all the shit that's happened in the game so far (eating rotten meat, getting mind raped my illithads, falling off a a big fucking mountain)happened to me and me only because of my impulsive ocd kleptomaniac dwarf fighter.

It's bassicaly a running joke that my character is just the punching bag of reality

My character.

Every fucking fight, the Boss (and the GM never has chumps, oh no) smacks me for 3/4 or more of my hit points in a single fucking hit and I have to struggle to merely stay alive. I mean, I'm a goddamn walking brick wall and the GM just has everything breeze through me like I'm not even there.

I feel like fucking Worf. I hate it so much.
>>
My Paladin.

All I want to do is spread justice, but I nearly die every fucking fight.
>>
Honestly? Probably my wife's character. She's a low AC rogue designed to hit people in the face. Her AC sucks unless she's dodging AoOs. Her HP sucks. Her saves suck. She also rolls poorly. And as we are still at moderately low level she ends up taking hits or effects the others can manage to shrug off or dodge.

Could have been something else but she loves being the sneaky rogue so...yeah. can't spare her from everything even if I am the GM.
>>
ICly, it's a tie between the Changeling Rogue who does good shit in the party and the Tiefling Warlock played by someone who's doing a balancing act into That Guy territory because of his thought to play the character as an arson-crazy pyromaniac.

If we're talking among the players, it's me if we're considering the tighter-knit of the group because I'm the only virgin within. The punching bag in the general group is probably the only girl we have because she's also a virgin.

Its the same player in all my games, regardless of what he actually plays or how. The dice gods just freaking hate this man, whenever even the most basic of attacks come his way it either 1 shots him or at least leaves him near fatal.
I feel bad cause he's actually one of my favorite players

Currently he's playing an astropath with the image as his token. It might not be much, but hopefully the red octagon of the Emperor's denial will stop this bad luck spree.
>>
The player who stole his character wholesale from a JRPG, and the character himself.

My best friend, he has never survived a campaign. Not even the one night joke game that we had played.
He had played a total of 15 characters in one campaign.

I have a Magical Girl game right now with a the daughter of a Yakuza official, a delinquent, and an otaku. Currently, the Otaku has...

>Gotten her principal's family killed as a direct result of her trying to squeeze information on the main villain out of the principal
>Gotten the principal's eyes bitten out of their sockets, his teeth ripped out, and chunks of his face bitten off as a result of those same actions
>Gotten the principal implicated in an attempted murder suicide
>Gotten arrested by the police
>Been bugged by the police
>Had all her figurines heads' snapped off by the first major villain

The Yakuza daughter is a runner up, considering her father went missing and the main villain seems to be systematically hunting the Yakuza down.

My character.

She's only good in combat so I play her as a happy-go-lucky character that runs head-long into plot points. This generally means that she eats most of the combat damage as she soaks for the party.
>>
If we're talking being the butt of jokes, then the unarmoured wiseguy and the ex-governmental aide. Neither of them are equipped for a fight, only one of them packs a firearm of any kind and that time when the latter tried driving a car with no skill in it whatsoever and wrapped it around a lamppost just cemented her place.

If we're talking actual combat attacks then the other two. They wear full body armour and soak up most of what gets thrown at them (the ex-cop had to burn through most of his luck points, but he survived being subjected to a burst from a minigun)
>>
>>47494795
The Fighter makes himself the combat punching bag as everyone else is quite squishy.

The Druid, meanwhile, has had all her plans come to naught, been publicly beaten and has seen her philosophy proven wrong again and again.
She's facing exile when she comes home, once everything is over and only sticks with the party because they have been supportive of her, even when she was trying to have them all killed, because they mostly agree with her and the Sorceress has worked out how the Druid can even rules-lawyer her way out of being exiled.
In exchange for her entire collection of magical works.

DM's 70 year old dad. Sweet old Japanese man who plays a ranger. Has rolled 1 on attack rolls, breaking his bowstring, so often that we all carry extra strings just in case he runs out during a critical fight (and it always breaks in the most important fight). Is painfully socially awkward and that feeds into his RP, so his nickname is "Tactful" because he is anything but.
>>
Why is this thread full of 'the person who gets hit in combat'? A thread with that picture and the term 'punching bag' and you all go with combat. What the heck, guys?

Do you even do any of you actually roleplay, or, with all your talk, do you really just stick to rollplay?

>>47494795
For our group, it's split between me with my amazingly bad luck, and Alex who tends to have at least one spot in his character concept that is just stupid. Stupid in the way of "How did you manage to live to adulthood?"
>>
>>47494795
usually me, due to my terrible luck with dice rolls.

When I DM, I will often fudge results or just flat out ignore them. The times that I haven't done this have been a disaster.

Such as the time I was dming a post-apocalypse game and the badguys managed to sneak up on the party while they were asleep. During the surprise round, the bad guys missed literally EVERY shot and managed to hit nothing.

All except the two with shotguns who somehow managed to kill three of their allies with friendly fire.

Ever since, this is the official theme for "anon's NPCs try to do ANYTHING."

Chauncey LaRue, world renowned pugilist and tender lover.
Little do his opponents know, he keeps bits of scrap metal underneath his boxing gloves.
Despite the constant cheating and low blows he charges right towards any confrontation without hesitation and often tanks all the fucking damage.
Worth noting that he insists on being barechested constantly despite having great armour available to him.

Me.
Not because the GM singles me out or anyone does it on purpose or anything; I just tend to roll one of two ways for some reason, namely really catastrophically low or really amazingly well.
There's next to no middle ground with me, I swear to god.

It means my characters tend to be hapless idiots who do a lot of sucking until suddenly they don't for a second or too and succeed at shit with style and flair better then anyone at the party.
It's gotten to the point where I've just started building these extreme swings of luck into the characters I make because apparently there's just no escaping but at all.
>>
>>47494795
Physically and Character, my character hands down. since the start of the campaign has been mauled by basilisks, nearly devoured by giant ants, flambe'd by a hellhound, repeatedly pinned by the wizard's chain tentacles, got his hand lightly chewed by a 15ft tall chimera, arrowed gassed and exploded in a sealed room pressure plate trap, sucker-punched by the fighter, many times slapped by the bard, gut-punched by a barbarian chief, nearly mauled by plant-wolves, and got a fair beating in a spar with one of the NPCs.

Otherwise and Character, probably the wizard. No one really listens to the poor nerd until he nuts up and takes charge, and even then between the sheer assertiveness of my character and the fighter he becomes that third option no one really cares to contemplate. Also receives terrible thrashings in PvP spars.

Players, none of us I don't think, we play online and have fairly safe lives, worst any of us had gotten is breaking a bone accidentally or tumbling down a flight of stairs.
>>
My human wild sorcerer, Wilhart Rattletoe.

He's been kidnapped and boiled alive by bugbears, exploded himself with a fireball, eaten by a dragon (as a sheep), shanked and poisoned by an assassin, turned to stone and lost an arm (was reattached),died and turned into a zombie (and then got awakened by our druid), lost his flesh and became a skeleton, decapitated and he then had his deattached body fall into a pit and the bones shatter. He was just a skull for a while, before being turned into an iron golem. After that I've been relatively untouched.

Kind of a toss-up between the Superboy expy and my girl, the alien inventor with a, mostly cartoon, Starfire-esque 'fish out of water' culture shock and values dissonance going on.
The Superboy wannabe is gay and camp as a row of tents. He tends to be the butt of most jokes because of this and the meta reason of being based heavily on Superboy and at one time even got so pissed off that he left for a short while.
However, he's become a large figurehead for the LGBTG movement and the public loves him.

Meanwhile my bumbling cutie's situation is more self-made as she perpetually misunderstands, often willfully so, most things around her and most the time ends up in embarrassing, implicating or awkward situations.
She is rather aware of her general misunderstandings and plays it up so people tend to be more disarmed and off their guard around her.
However most the team suspect her to be secretly a master chess player or at least have Xanatos training wheels and a few villains suspect her to be playing some kind of long game with the earth because of this.

ME! Though largely its on accident. My first character for our campaign was a halfling alchemist who was nearly killed on purpose THREE TIMES by party members... two of which were our paladin(and I'm not evil)

Pretty minor spoilers for the movie but it's the story of an aspiring shoemaker and an older woman. She pretty much becomes the woman he wants to make the perfect shoes for.

Well, there was a cat-man cleric in our pirate-themed campaign. Never did anything, to the point that his most notable character trait was being lazy. The useless little furry was promptly shot with crossbows, beaten maliciously by his shipmates, hypnotized and made to do the hard labor of the group, at one point he was even hit in the face by the severed dick of a poledancing muscleman (dare you enter my magical realm).

All came to an end when he got caught standing out in the open in the middle of a treasure room by a trio of ogres. The furry tried to dash to where my bard had hid, got magic missile'd by the group's wizard, and was pummeled to a pile of near-dead meat and bones by the loin-cloth-adorned brutes. The best part? Our DM's Mary Sue lizard wizard teleported everyone back to the ship, saving the catman... until my bard and the wizard decided that he'd been too damn useless and threw him overboard.

The Cleric, who refuses to wear anything but leather armor until his custom made ornamental full plate gets done.

At lower levels he also never wore a helmet and was knocked out at least once per session. Now he has the HP cushion to almost never go into wound-territory.

>>47494795
In DSA, our drunk, womanazing, gambling addict of a "bard". He got punched in the face by the whole party at least once -save for the healing focused priest-, when he asked for the age of an ex-slave girl whom we fished out of the river on our boat.

In my M&M game, the powerhouse of the party. Because he has the highest toughness and because he constantly does stupid shit, like grabbing a villain and hitting another supervillain made of living metal even after his living weapon went unconscious.

In my other M&M game, the toxin user, because he's a dick who pissed off half of all the NPCs we have met.
>>
In my game of Stars Without Number, my character and the Captain are the only ones who remain alive (we've had 4 crew members die), so the Captain jokingly-but-depressingly shifts the blame of their deaths onto my character (with some good justification, some of it was my char's fault).

I get a lot of flak from it, but my char is the kind of man who broods silently and just takes the damage head-on.
>>
>>47519351

I only meant in the sense that not every group has a player/character who gets the short end in roleplaying situations. Personality disputes can be settled, but there's no curing bad luck.

That's my estimation if it, anyway. Our party has one guy who gets the bum rap, but it's hardly as constant as his own dice being out to get him.

That's very possible on that wizard part, but given it'd be a 1v5 and he's already afraid of my character for destroying him 1v1 passed literally every save except the ones against the chain tentacles, that's probably not going to happen until he gets some Meteor Storm-tier spell.

But yes, there are plenty of stories hidden under that list, a few of them related to each other. Anything in particular you're interested in good Anon?

I'm kinda interested to know why two party members have visited violence on your character (bard and fighter).
>>
My rogue. He's a manic depressive that tries to be heroic but is in way over his head. He's also a literal clown and his antics tend to make him the butt of jokes. He had a breakdown last session after seeing his party members riding off on literal nightmares while his regular horse just got killed in magical crossfire. He's also a punching bag in combat, what with being a grappler.
>>
>>47521942
Alright, this one requires a bit of context. To start, for a story reason most of the PCs have an latent X/day Plane Shift with very limited passenger capacity. This was early enough that only my character (the ranger) and the fighter were the ones that "unlocked" it. Also the fighter and ranger very often butt heads over what the ranger is allowed to do alone.

FWD a bit and we have my character breaking out of an argument with the bard about helping some guy with his mafia-tier bank debts. Given our base is a haunted mansion, ranger finds a secret passage and decides to check it out before bed. It was the pressure plate trap. Only reason he lived was that he used his one use jump to land somewhere near a town our characters crashed at, couldn't get back until morning.
Meanwhile, party's using scrying spells because there's a sealed room with signs of explosion and ranger's MIA. They find he's beaten to hell and back, crashing in an alley. Then some thugs show up going on about protection fees and, given all his money is foreign, can't pay up. So they go for the "we can sell the exotic for parts" play.
Now, even at single-digit HP, a level 10 gish can still wreck three commoners, so the ranger, pissed that he's not being allowed to sleep, procs pretty much everything he hadn't casted yet. Back at base the fighter finds that the ranger is "in trouble" and jumps over as backup.
Naturally, the fighter shoos off two of them while the ranger utterly eviscerates the ringleader. Ranger makes a comment that he didn't need any help dealing with them, to which the fighter promptly socks him one for being ungrateful. Ranger then goes on that if the fighter wants him dead he shouldn't beat around the bush. This is where the bard gets her ability, jumping there and basically hitting him with an inter-dimensional bitchslap, because no one threatens the life of her bf, not even himself.

There's more, but it's less important and character limits suck
>>
>>47522204
Dysfunction junction, anyone?
Still, though, that's pretty cute. CUTE!
>>
>>47522394
>Dysfunction junction
That exact phrasing has been describing our party for months now. Hell we've even gone so far as to try assigning Avengers to the party members because it gets THAT bad sometimes. Ranger is Iron Man with a hint of Hawkeye, Wiz is a mix of Thor and also Iron Man, fighter is Cap, ironically given the player doesn't like him much, rogue is Black Widow, barb is both Hulk and a bit of Thor, and we're not sure on the bard.

In fact, the next part was everyone trying to reconcile at a nearby inn when my character said a dumb (I forget what exactly) and the bard ran off. One night of drinking later and the ranger is trying to track her down through the place and saying sorry through a splitting headache.

Yes, it's pretty cute. Head-pats and cuddle-huggle-snuggles are rampant and I love it. My character's unofficial title is "Arch-Avariel of Hugs" given he demanded the sun-goddess hug him and she conceded.

Plus, my DM keeps making jokes about trying to kill me, despite the fact that I've shrugged off attacks that would have killed anyone else in the party.
>>
Me.

The funny thing is that I'm usually the face of the party and the de-facto leader of the party, even when I don't build my character for it. My other players are fine with just following my lead.

So if they push me hard enough, I'll bring them down to hell with me.

Battle-wise the Quarter-Dwarf Paladin/Barbarian is the tank, and gets hit an awful lot.
Character-wise, the Mushroom-folk Bard/Rogue gets a lot of jesting from the rest of the party for being a poor bag-pipes player and hitting on too many women, where he usually gets hit on back in the face , as well as for being the only one in the party older than Fourteen yet being the least mature.
Roll-wise, the infant Dragon Brawler keeps screwing up his rolls and missing.
Human Mage is doin' okay overall.

My rogues, often they get a lot of damege, mainly because I support my more combat based friends. My current rogue:
>jailed twice
>he was carried in a fucking potato bag by companions
>halfling btw
>all the criticals go to him because reasons
>a big fuckinng bear almost rip off his right leg
>all the wizards always go for him because asshole DM
>a cleric slapped him with gangrene in the face
>a big fucking lava elemental stepped on him

There's too many to count them all, and I'm lazy

One of my friends
>got shot in the head, burned a fate point, survived, got fancy eye implant and some head tubes
>some time passed
>got shot in the head, this time with a boltgun
>burned one more fate point, his wound turned to be not lethal, got first aid, rushed into a battle again
>got shot in the head, with the same boltgun while standing in exact same place he got shot before

His character's head is a bullet magnet.

Verbally, Taggard the Halfling Bard. A Real Prick, always tries to be a womanizer never succeeds. We all make fun of him for it.
Physically, Withered, an Old Dwarf who basically walks around like a moving caravan. Wears huge Armor, Holds all the stuff. Guy's got some real good defense.

Our paladin is the DM's punching bag.
Our barbarian was the party's punching bag until a gelatinous slime ate him alive in front of us.

My half orc Bearbarian was climbing a clay golems face while raging and laughing and yelling at it while it damaged him and itself by punching himself in the face.

However, the human fighter tends to get knocked out the most usually with lots knee injuries inflicted in him too.

A three-way tie between our sorceress, fighter and the DM himself.
The sorceress recently almost met her demise from suffocating inside a giant land wyrm that gobbled her up and then proceeded to die while it was burrowing through the ground.
The fighter seems to always be on the receiving end of enemy crits and belittlement / insults by the party cleric who is me.
The DM is bullied by everyone -- usually me.

We have a spider themed witch who often makes the mistake of talking smack to opponents she's trapped in her web spell, only to while not paying attention walk into the web spell herself (Roll 20, so the web texture is on screen but she'll walk right through it)

We had a pilot who literally his first roll in the entire game was 100 and got thrown out of the ship.

The pilots' brother was flown in immediately (Literally the same character sheet).

The next mission(session), the character got knocked unconcious and dropped in a pool of lava after the person carrying him out of danger got failed a strength roll.

Third session, we kept the running joke of same character sheet by having the character being vat born (clone).
Character piloting ship above a space marines and dreadnaught fighting necron. Dreadnaught hits the Aura of the necron with a stomp, causing a perfect ricochet, sending the Dreadnaught flying up exploding the pilot's ship.

Fast forward to the final sessin, the final boss destroy's the main ship, causing all of the potential clones out into space (and some into the airvents).

Final fight vs boss; Fate point into Pilot Clone corpses filling the entire room jamming the boss' gun.

Pilot rolls 100 again and gets crushed.

Being an NG Cleric of Sarenrae in a mostly TN/CN (with two NE to boot) party is pain.

But the small victories and the chance of redemption for all of us make up for it.

In the current Crimson Skies game, that'd be the NPC airport that got obliterated on Turn 1 because we're using Speed Rules and... still kind of figuring out stats since Aces High only does so much.

One Raven trashed the whole thing after my German trashed their bomber.

The airport's still taking damage.

I'm trying to make it my character because he has the most health and skills geared towards tanking yet somehow it ends up being my team who takes the most damage whereas I haven't even dropped below half.

In our 5e campaign, the monk and the gnome caster in combat. In RP, it tends to be me since I'm a paladin (not helped by the DM thinking paladins have to be Lawful Stupid since they follow a god and his using 3.5 limitations for my race since their full stats haven't been published yet)
In my Star Wars campaign, it tends to be the chessmaster noble who comes up with all the plans, since he's not really suited for combat. As a result he's usually the guy who gets us in trouble, and it doesn't help that he likes to kidnap high-profile targets (2 imperial officers and one Black Sun guy). Right now we're on the run from the Empire since we accidentally wound up at the site of the second Death Star construction site and escaped by the skin of our teeth

IC - Mikkel the Wizard, his pyromania and constant friendly fire has made the rest of the party shit on him at any and all opportunities

OOC - Me We rescheduled our last game because I was working at a gay pride festival and couldn't make it, they have not been the nicest about this
>>
>>47540084
Even better is when he stops the game for 10 minutes to tell us the plan he came up with for this situation, we all nod in recognition and then go
>why don't we just shoot them?
I'm still surprised that he still plays with us.

I've got a Noble Human Barbarian/Fighter who is knocked out every other fight and outright died on three different occasions. The first time that happened he spent all of his money to make a monument at the town we were staying at to immortalize the party and left a will with the mayor in case he didn't come back a second time. By now he's pretty sure he's being protected by Tymora and jumps into danger first chance he gets.

I wish I knew of a group to do a magical girls game with. So much fun happened in the one I played in before the group imploded, but I'm currently trapped in "DnD is the only RPG that exists" hell.

Well I have three games. Had, anyway.

5th Ed I was a tough as nails abjurer straight man who was pushing 70. I was the butt of most of the jokes I fee, but also brought a little order to the group.

In 40k I'm totally the punching bag, but I designed the character from the ground up for that as an ork.

He's mostly oblivious to the guff and jibes from the captain or other officers.

Put him in a room with other xeno's though and it doesn't take much to push him over the edge.

In the blue planet game, probably the fishman originally modeled after The Waterboy. The character and player are both a little oblivious and doesn't have a firmly decided role in our troupe of criminals and misfits.

From a prior campaign, me.

Dread necromancer with rings of the body guard on myself and my dread knight guardian.

He took half my wounds, had close to 100hp and was a bloody skeleton so even if he went down it wouldn't be permanent.

I went from squishiest character to hardest motherfucker after I turned into a lich. Cha to hp, meant I was rocking out with +7hp/HD and various resistances and immunities due to an undead nature made me the de facto party tank despite my 16 AC by lv 12.

I survived 12 disintegration rays, being sneak attacked by 2 lv 20 gestalt fighter rogues, and being swallowed by a dragon in the last session alone.

Prior to this I had been devoured by sandworms, beaten a balor to death with limp writes touch attacks, dueled a level 20 cleric at lv 5 because he was a decrepit old man and I bullrushed him off the side of a giant tortoise city, and possibly ushered In a new age of darkness and despair due to time travel shenanigans
