    Or when the awkward friend wants to play a bard and the butterfly plays a fighter with CHA as a dump stat, then becomes the face anyways because they love roleplaying and can manipulate the GM IRL

      I was once GMing for that same bestie in a 3d6-based system. I told her to roll, then realised her stats weren’t high enough for her to succeed, so told her not to. She gave me a look, picked up the dice, and rolled a crit. Out of SPITE. And this is 3d6, so it’s a 1 in 216 chance.

      She didn’t need to manipulate me. Either I went along with it, or my dice would be forever cursed.
