i haven’t played DnD since high school, and even then it was very sparse since most of my experiences were with shitty TOO SERIOUS NO FUN ALLOWED dms and the game never stuck with me
however, Ashley Davis drew a DnD character and well i just had to go and do that because reasons
i forget his name but i played a dark elf that used a rapier and was a generally stupid and obnoxious person so by extension i guess i did a good job of making a character based on myself
the ladder is actually part of an inside joke; on one of the few hilarious games i played with friends we simply had to roll to put up a ladder and scale a fence
some way or another we ended up just throwing the ladder over the fence and it was just this horrible shitfest of hilarity
