Stefano Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 hello, I am a dungeon master, and I am going to make Hoid make an appearance in my compaign, just to pull the strings on the story. I would like to make him appear as wit, and of course he has to be witty. May you suggest some witty mockery to make him say? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoidolasium Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 What are the characters? He usually mocks some small detail - not some major aspect of their personality, but something just specific enough not to feel like a stock insult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hoid can also be extremely cutting when he feels like it's necessary; compare his insulting Sadeas' consorting with prostitutes (which was a pretty low-effort job) to saying that Amaram is what a lesser cretin like Sadeas aspires to be (a double whammy of 'You're a cretin and I know what's up with you and it makes you worse than the guy plotting to overthrow a kingdom). That one was a particularly targeted insult. So yeah, what sort of setting and characters are you working with? Because there's different ways Hoid could mock them depending on the circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 a cannibal druid, a famale swordancer, a classic rogue thief, a barbarian dwarf, an half elf mage they are at the beggining of the compaign, no specific traits defined yet (i never played with these people before, i can't even guess) just some apparently random insults is fine, as long as they are "hoidish" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I don't think Hoid would have to stretch his wit very far to come up with jokes about leaving a bad taste in the mouth or some variation of 'you are what you eat' for the first one... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsecaller_17.5 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 This is a bit off topic, but for mechanics may I suggest a Glamour Bard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
