I could see this as being fake, but I believe it is equally likely to be real. 11th hour, slightly buzzed or worse, character is hanging by a thread and you want to stretch every rule to infinity and beyond? I have seen some ahem interesting…examples to “validate” a rules “extension”. Chainmail belts, blowdarts, contained arson, to name the standouts. Just biting someone hard enough to need stitches? Easily possible.
“I hurt my friend because I took a dumb idea too far” is a very probable story. The part I can’t believe though is ending the game over a dire bite. We finally got the schedule together, we’re going to use the time, darn it!
Stop calling it fake, they were just playing a game of DnD². Instead of pretending to be wizards and tieflings going on an epic adventure , they pretend to be a bunch of regular people playing DnD. Campains usually consist of trying to get all the characters together for a game of DnD.
I myself play as a human (only race available) named Dave, who’s trying to find a balance between his work as an accountant and his hobby of playing DnD. In my last session I fumbled an extrovert skill check trying to order pizza for the group.
A commoner(your average person) has 4hp. It would be difficult to kill someone in 1 bite unless you went right to the throat. 1 d4 is more than enough damage, and imo is actually too much for a single bite from a human.
Throat, chunk of their face, wrist/forearm, thighs, belly, etc.
Don’t underestimate shock and bloodless. That’s just your average joe.The strongest recorded bite could crush through your arm. A barbarian can bite through a peasants arm. Rule of cool.
A gurney is a device used to move a patient who can’t easily walk and needs to lie flat. Unlike a stretcher, a gurney has wheels so that it doesn’t need to be carried. When an EMT transports a patient from an ambulance into a hospital emergency room, she uses a gurney.
A normal person cannot bite their own finger in half because the body has things in place to prevent you from overly injuring yourself like that. You would stop yourself short and just cause pain, maybe bleeding, but no long term damage.
Now someone else’s finger is a different story. Also people with certain medical disorders can ignore the feelings stopping them from biting their own finger off.
I’ve always wondered if this is actually true, or if it just gets spread around as true because no sane person would actually test it with all their might lol
Or maybe it’s true in the sense that “a normal person can’t stab themselves in the face with a knife because the body has things in place to prevent that”
Would’ve been better if they said he had to get a rabies vaccine.
The chances of getting rabies is extremely small, but the second you say that will result in them immediately vaccinating you for the sake of safety as that window can close fairly quickly. And if you change your story they typically don’t care because people scared of vaccines change their story all the time.
Also, if the story is true, that’s a fucking terrible nurse (and person) for not reporting it - dude could be in a domestic abuse situation getting stitches and she’s just like “yeah whatever”
That is 100% what she thought. I have no doubt about it. There are far too many people that come in that accidentally fell on a 12 inch girthy vegetable.
Yeah, it’s deranged. You didn’t spit out or wipe your mouth? You have another human’s meat and blood in your mouth and you just casually went with them to hospital like you’re wearing lipstick?
Hah, this reminds me of when I was a teenager and a girl bit me pretty hard. She didn’t send me to the hospital (low roll on the damage?) but she did leave a bruise. To this day, I don’t know if it was meant to be a form of flirting.
