Take a shot everytime they say the word dog <| sep |> I punched my friend in the face because I thought he was choking on bread . Totally saved him . The logic , it can kind of distort . <| sep |> It ' s actually reccommended I forget where that new players create some sort of item that their PC has attachment to this is for fleshing out the character , and allowing a DM to craft stories around it not to power them up . You can absoultely work them into the story and create attachment to these items without making them magical . Every DM is tempted to start giving their characters magical items right off the bat , for the same reason that players want them magic items are friggin ' cool . But , I ' d advise you hold off for a bit , so as to not start the campaign with too heavy a flow of magical items . They shouldn ' t really get anything powerful until ~ level 3 . That ' s when the barbarian should go on his spirit quest to empower his axe , etc Or get a new weapon , you don ' t have to power up their starting gear for them to be attached to it .
