I feel like this ends with the party reducing the enemy forces to one goblin, having one person hold it down, and then the other all try to knock themselves unconscious for the achievement.
We Didn't Hear No Bell
Have all party members survive an encounter on less than 10% HP.
You're Locked in Here with Me
Defeat a creature who has previously killed a PC.
I'll Carry You
Stabilize or Revive your party healer as a non-healer (fighter, barbarian, or rogue).
A fun story about the first achievement:
My PCs found an item that allowed the wearer to stay conscious while at 0 hp (at the cost of not knowing your current HP, as well as auto-failing death saves on your turn). This led to them once winning a fight where EVERY SINGLE PC was at 0 HP. On a critical turn, an enemy upcast Fireball and everyone but the warlock (who wore this item) went down. The warlock then started his turn, pretty sure he was at 0 and had just failed a Death Save. He had a single healing potion. He chose…to Eldritch Blast the enemy.
… And it turned out this was the ONLY winning line. The boss was at extremely low HP, but if he survived he would have upcast Magic Missile to kill the warlock and down the healed PC the next turn, TPKing the group. The next turn, the warlock failed another death save and then fed a healing potion to the mercy monk, who healed the cleric, who healed the warlock just before his next turn came around. Then on the next round they healed the wizard with 2 failed death saves.
I will never, EVER be able to DM a combat that close again.
>I'll Carry You
>Stabilize or Revive your party healer as a non-healer (fighter, barbarian, or rogue).
I've got a barbarian with the Healer feat in a party with a wizard, warlock, and artificer. Where does that fit?

Recently I had the first death of a player. He had 4 NAT 1's in a row. The last was a death save while his character was burning.
He could be revived but it got pretty rough for the whole party.
I can one up you there, the fighter in my campaign (with advantage on the strikes) get 5 nat20s out of 6 attacks, and the other was a nat 19. The bos they were fighting was vulnerable to radiant damage (he has a crystal longsword) so he dealt a total of 237 damage (with maneuvers) and the boss was thoroughly dead.
It was the most insane shit ive ever seen and kinda deserved since last session he'd been rolling like shit
Our barbarian rolled 3 nat 1s in a row. First on a saving throw, then on her attack WITH ADVANTAGE. She rolled two nat 1s at once. And almost decapitated me with her backswing
Trophy hunter strats:
* **Can't Touch This** - Wall of Force + Sacred Flame a biggish creature
* **Combo Breaker** - Melee Swashbuckler with Sentinel
* **The Crowd Goes Wild** - Autopops when using Tempest Cleric's channel divinity
* **Catch Me If You Can** - See **Can't Touch This**
* **It's Not A War Crime The First Time** - Best completed against the Goblins during the Attack on Goldenfields in chapter 2 of SKT
* **Two Health Bars** - Drag a commoner into a battle, let them get hit, min healing of a _Healing Word_ will heal their 4 HP
commoners don't generally get death saves. two health bars should be super achievable. At level 1, someone gets bonked and goes down (many such cases) heal them with cure wounds and roll max (or be life cleric) light work
assuming +3 wisdom and +2 con, you can max heal sorcerers and wizards with a 5+ or d8 classes with a 7+. Not technically max, but close enough you'll probably need a few tries.
If they’re important they presumably get death saves. But I don’t expect an important noncombatant to just let you drag them into combat. Plus, it just takes 8 damage to instantly kill them from full health, so it’s pretty much moot.
There are very few ways to deal damage to someone between the hits of a multiattack. Your viable options are basically [Hellish Rebuke](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2142-hellish-rebuke), [Armor of Agythys](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2310-armor-of-agathys), or a reaction attack. Of those options, an off-turn sneak attack is the most promising as it does the most damage (since larger damage attacks are more likely to kill a target). It doesn't necessarily need to be Swashbuckler, but the idea is to generate an off-turn sneak attack via Sentinel when the baddie attacks someone else. You could substitute a Paladin (off turn smites, rather than sneak attack) or a Pact of the Blade Warlock (also for smites), but you'd still want Sentinel.
In a world with different RAW, Sentinel + Warcaster on a Sorcerer would be viable (off-turn reaction Desintigrate?), but Sentinel doesn't give an opportunity attack with its "hit someone who attacked someone other than you" effect--it merely gives a melee attack.
My assumption is they're looking to sneak attack on a reaction attack from Sentinel when one of they're allies is targeted, to do high enough damage to kill the enemy mid-multiattack.
Worth noting it's doable with any Rogue Subclass.
You need the Swashbuckler in case the first multiattack downs your friend. Then you'd lose sneak attack if you didn't have advantage or weren't a swashbuckler!
>The 0.25%er - Roll two natural 20s in a row.
But also
you have to be kidding me! - roll a nat 1 and a nat 20 on disadvantage
And
The gods hate me - roll two nat 1s with an advantage roll
Oh, I actually did that last one! I was a fighter too, so the person I heald was me. A dragon's tail slap knocked me to 0 immediately before my turn, then I rolled a 20 on my death save and used a house rule to bonus action a healing potion, rolled 1 point less than my maximum HP lol so in a single turn, I went from 0 to full. It was awesome.
Just got the Teamwork is Teamwork one, haha. Ironically I was trying to set up for MORE teamwork--wanted to dissonant whisper an enemy into running away from my bard and a bunch of kids he was protecting down a stairway lined with party members and allies--but said enemy was on their last legs so just croaked from the relatively minor damage of the spell. Apparently only had 1 HP left!
I would have unlocked this achievement in our last session. Nearly two years ago (Aug 2022), we were missing a few players, so the DM decided to run a short side-quest for the two of us who could make it. We saved a Naiad and her pond from Goblins who were making the place unsanitary. The Naiad said she'd owe us a favour and to simply call upon her whenever we had need. After that session, we spoke no more about it.
Fast forward to two days ago, we're about to go and take on a Coven of Hags, and I recall we're owed a favour from another Fey creature, the Naiad. We called upon her, just hoping for information that can help defeat the Hags, and she decided to come with us and deal with them too.

For We’re Brining it Back I’m assuming you’re talking about 100 damage among multiple targets? bc doing 100+ damage with a fireball otherwise seems like it requires a max rolls with some kind of celestial warlock dragon sorcerer multi-class shenanigans
"Yeah, whoops" - when you hit an ally with an AOE simply because you were careless about the positioning and could have easily missed them and hit all the enemy targets if you had been paying attention.

The other day I (as the DM) rolled double 20s with disadvantage so the wizard used Silvery Barbs. And I rolled another 20. The universe said "fuck you it hits". (Of course, the target was wearing adamantine armor so they didn't take any extra damage.)
You know, I've no idea but it does seem fun thing in a way, maybe making a funny table of these in a way that can get players inspiration once in a while or something
My character talking to a girl that is asking me to rescue her dad when I notice the "Do a chaotic evil act" in the achivements table.
https://preview.redd.it/p2rdco2k2t8d1.jpeg?width=669&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6579a2fdc04bc96826ec8477b2f61ecac7823c61
Near the end of 4e, Wizards published a series of "mega-encounters" called [Lair Assault](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lair_Assault) that were designed to basically be one-off combat encounters where a table would try to complete the mission and there were special hidden objectives. I only played one of them, but apparently it had an achievement for completing the module in some ridiculously short period (maybe under 5 rounds?) which apparently required the entire party to be Voidsoul Genasi so that you could teleport through a wall and skip 90% of the module.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what the program or module was called
Actually did this for our Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. I’m pretty bad at giving out inspiration so I thought this would be a fun way of distributing them. Ranged from specific actions done in combat or role-playing and also for finding unique interactions throughout the campaign.
Come Together: the entire group is present and on time for a session

considering that most people take at least one holiday over the year, that's pretty much impossible - there's going to probably 2-4 sessions over the year the GM is away somewhere and so there's no game, and that's before stuff like "Christmas" where people are often away seeing family (and that's before things like "work" or "needing to look after kids" and things!).

I actually just DMed a one shot (two sessions really) and tracked achievements/stats for my players. Simple stuff, most damage dealt, most damage mitigated, most kills, etc.
Also awarded one for most locked doors opened, ended up tied between the rogue (lockpicking) and the fighter (door violence). They really enjoyed the recognition from those stats, and I'll be incorporating that into every campaign in the future!

I know I struggle to remember to give inspiration in games sometimes... I'm absolutely going to use some of the achievements here as reminders to give inspiration. The first time someone achieves one of these, they get an inspiration point.
Bare minimum: you made a character who wanted to be part of the group and got through a campaign without calling someone a racial slur, engaging in inappropriate roleplay or saying "that's what my character would do"
**Ooops** - Burn down your first Tavern
**Friendly Fire isnt** - Down a Party Member with an Area Spell (by accident).
**Well Done** - Kill someone in Heavy Armor using Heat Metal
I've got a player who killed off his character in the first five minutes of the first session because he wanted to make another character, then killed off his second character in the first five minutes of third session. He was already talking about killing off his third character by the end of that session because the DM didn't introduce his character the way he wanted. I have no idea what that achievement would be called other than "Do You Need Some Aspirin?"

Turkey: Use a luck die to roll a third one on a d20 roll after rolling two ones on an advantage or disadvantage roll
Gravity Falls: Get reduced to 0 hit points after suffering fall damage
**Last Man Standing** Survive a combat encounter with only 1 party member left conscious.
I feel like this ends with the party reducing the enemy forces to one goblin, having one person hold it down, and then the other all try to knock themselves unconscious for the achievement.
~~All~~ Many achievements have their loopholes, it's up to the players whether they have integrity or not.
I wouldn't reveal the achievements to my players.
I could definitely see such an achievement being hidden until earned, alongside the plot milestones.
We Didn't Hear No Bell Have all party members survive an encounter on less than 10% HP. You're Locked in Here with Me Defeat a creature who has previously killed a PC. I'll Carry You Stabilize or Revive your party healer as a non-healer (fighter, barbarian, or rogue).
A fun story about the first achievement: My PCs found an item that allowed the wearer to stay conscious while at 0 hp (at the cost of not knowing your current HP, as well as auto-failing death saves on your turn). This led to them once winning a fight where EVERY SINGLE PC was at 0 HP. On a critical turn, an enemy upcast Fireball and everyone but the warlock (who wore this item) went down. The warlock then started his turn, pretty sure he was at 0 and had just failed a Death Save. He had a single healing potion. He chose…to Eldritch Blast the enemy. … And it turned out this was the ONLY winning line. The boss was at extremely low HP, but if he survived he would have upcast Magic Missile to kill the warlock and down the healed PC the next turn, TPKing the group. The next turn, the warlock failed another death save and then fed a healing potion to the mercy monk, who healed the cleric, who healed the warlock just before his next turn came around. Then on the next round they healed the wizard with 2 failed death saves. I will never, EVER be able to DM a combat that close again.
EPIC!
>I'll Carry You >Stabilize or Revive your party healer as a non-healer (fighter, barbarian, or rogue). I've got a barbarian with the Healer feat in a party with a wizard, warlock, and artificer. Where does that fit?
I wouldn't count feats. Just no class features granting HP regularly. So barb with healer works, rogues making a medicine check, etc.
Wizard should also be counted as a non-healer; as well as non celestial warlock and non divine sorcerer.

Last session, our sorc rolled 3 Nat 20's in a row. So whatever that percentage is.
Your sorcerer must be the cosmic balancer for when my party’s fighter rolled 3 nat 1s in a row (on the same check)
1 in 8000 or 0.0125%
Oh! In that case... **OVER 1 IN 9000!** - Roll 4 Nat1s in a row
Recently I had the first death of a player. He had 4 NAT 1's in a row. The last was a death save while his character was burning. He could be revived but it got pretty rough for the whole party.
I can one up you there, the fighter in my campaign (with advantage on the strikes) get 5 nat20s out of 6 attacks, and the other was a nat 19. The bos they were fighting was vulnerable to radiant damage (he has a crystal longsword) so he dealt a total of 237 damage (with maneuvers) and the boss was thoroughly dead. It was the most insane shit ive ever seen and kinda deserved since last session he'd been rolling like shit
Our barbarian rolled 3 nat 1s in a row. First on a saving throw, then on her attack WITH ADVANTAGE. She rolled two nat 1s at once. And almost decapitated me with her backswing
Trophy hunter strats: * **Can't Touch This** - Wall of Force + Sacred Flame a biggish creature * **Combo Breaker** - Melee Swashbuckler with Sentinel * **The Crowd Goes Wild** - Autopops when using Tempest Cleric's channel divinity * **Catch Me If You Can** - See **Can't Touch This** * **It's Not A War Crime The First Time** - Best completed against the Goblins during the Attack on Goldenfields in chapter 2 of SKT * **Two Health Bars** - Drag a commoner into a battle, let them get hit, min healing of a _Healing Word_ will heal their 4 HP
commoners don't generally get death saves. two health bars should be super achievable. At level 1, someone gets bonked and goes down (many such cases) heal them with cure wounds and roll max (or be life cleric) light work
Even not rolling max, depending on who you heal it's super doable. As long as it isn't a barbarian or a d10 class that is
assuming +3 wisdom and +2 con, you can max heal sorcerers and wizards with a 5+ or d8 classes with a 7+. Not technically max, but close enough you'll probably need a few tries.
If they’re important they presumably get death saves. But I don’t expect an important noncombatant to just let you drag them into combat. Plus, it just takes 8 damage to instantly kill them from full health, so it’s pretty much moot.
> Combo Breaker - Melee Swashbuckler with Sentinel Could you explain how this works?
There are very few ways to deal damage to someone between the hits of a multiattack. Your viable options are basically [Hellish Rebuke](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2142-hellish-rebuke), [Armor of Agythys](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2310-armor-of-agathys), or a reaction attack. Of those options, an off-turn sneak attack is the most promising as it does the most damage (since larger damage attacks are more likely to kill a target). It doesn't necessarily need to be Swashbuckler, but the idea is to generate an off-turn sneak attack via Sentinel when the baddie attacks someone else. You could substitute a Paladin (off turn smites, rather than sneak attack) or a Pact of the Blade Warlock (also for smites), but you'd still want Sentinel. In a world with different RAW, Sentinel + Warcaster on a Sorcerer would be viable (off-turn reaction Desintigrate?), but Sentinel doesn't give an opportunity attack with its "hit someone who attacked someone other than you" effect--it merely gives a melee attack.
My assumption is they're looking to sneak attack on a reaction attack from Sentinel when one of they're allies is targeted, to do high enough damage to kill the enemy mid-multiattack. Worth noting it's doable with any Rogue Subclass.
You need the Swashbuckler in case the first multiattack downs your friend. Then you'd lose sneak attack if you didn't have advantage or weren't a swashbuckler!
You don't roll damage dice with tempest cleric; doesn't count
>The 0.25%er - Roll two natural 20s in a row. But also you have to be kidding me! - roll a nat 1 and a nat 20 on disadvantage And The gods hate me - roll two nat 1s with an advantage roll
You forgot: "Meh, who cares... - Roll 2 natural 20s when you have advantage on a roll."
But also "what the luck" - turn a nat 1 to a nat 20 with the halflings lucky trait.
Oh, I actually did that last one! I was a fighter too, so the person I heald was me. A dragon's tail slap knocked me to 0 immediately before my turn, then I rolled a 20 on my death save and used a house rule to bonus action a healing potion, rolled 1 point less than my maximum HP lol so in a single turn, I went from 0 to full. It was awesome.
Just got the Teamwork is Teamwork one, haha. Ironically I was trying to set up for MORE teamwork--wanted to dissonant whisper an enemy into running away from my bard and a bunch of kids he was protecting down a stairway lined with party members and allies--but said enemy was on their last legs so just croaked from the relatively minor damage of the spell. Apparently only had 1 HP left!
Worthy Notetaker Recall a piece of information from a session that happened 3 or more months ago.
I would have unlocked this achievement in our last session. Nearly two years ago (Aug 2022), we were missing a few players, so the DM decided to run a short side-quest for the two of us who could make it. We saved a Naiad and her pond from Goblins who were making the place unsanitary. The Naiad said she'd owe us a favour and to simply call upon her whenever we had need. After that session, we spoke no more about it. Fast forward to two days ago, we're about to go and take on a Coven of Hags, and I recall we're owed a favour from another Fey creature, the Naiad. We called upon her, just hoping for information that can help defeat the Hags, and she decided to come with us and deal with them too.
**ADVENTURERS ASSEMBLE** Have every member of the party present for every boss fight in the campaign. **TROPE CLASSICS** Inadvertently cause the start of the events which leads to your party having to save the world. **DR JEKYLL AND MR HIDE** Land a natural 20 on any intelligence check as a Barbarian. **COMMITMENT ISSUES** Break your oath as a Paladin. **IF THEY CAME TO HEAR ME BEG** Survive an arena game as a prisoner of the grounds owners. **NO GAME, NO SHAME** Fail any charisma check against a villain. EDIT: **I LIKE THOSE ODDS** Land a natural 20 on every attack roll you make in a turn (locked at level 5 onwards). **MICHAEL’S RIGHT HAND** Land the killing blow on an arch fiend or high level undead boss. **GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY** Have children during the campaign. **MY SOUL IS MINE** Outsmart an Archfey in a contract. **PRIMORDIAL SOUP** Defeat an elemental using the Disintegrate spell. EDIT 2: Got many ideas lol **THE REFORMATION** Change Cleric subclass as a result of roleplaying. **NIMBY 101** Aid a Druid circle or Ranger conclave in preventing expansion into natural areas. **EDGE WITH A PLEDGE** As a Rogue or Warlock, multiclass into a Paladin. **ARE THE LOVERS STAR CROSS’D?** Romance another player character in the campaign. **PEAK IMMERSION** Do something unexpected for a DnD campaign like setting up a business or getting a conventional job.
For We’re Brining it Back I’m assuming you’re talking about 100 damage among multiple targets? bc doing 100+ damage with a fireball otherwise seems like it requires a max rolls with some kind of celestial warlock dragon sorcerer multi-class shenanigans
I meant total across all targets
Oooh I like these!
True bard - successfully seduce a dragon
**You what!?** — seduce a dragon, and watch as the DM roll a damage dice on you.
Star Player - 0.0001%
One of my players in a group I DM cooks for us most of the time and his food is great. I have definitely let him get away with small things for it
I got ‘star player’ in a 3,5 years long campaign lmao
From Zero to Hero Beat a Enemy with one healthpoint remaining
"I said I cast fireball" - get hit by an ally's fireball
"I *said* I cast fireball and I meant it" - get hit by your own fireball
No, it's "I didn't ask how big the room is, I said I cast Fireball".
No, I don’t care how big the room is.
"Yeah, whoops" - when you hit an ally with an AOE simply because you were careless about the positioning and could have easily missed them and hit all the enemy targets if you had been paying attention.
FOCUSED Got through an entire session without looking at your phone. PUSHING IT Defeated a major campaign boss with a Shove attack. LET'S TALK THIS OUT Resolved a combat encounter with a persuasion, performance, or deception roll. IT'S COMPLICATED Consummated a romantic relationship arc with an NPC, and then remembered that they are played by your friend Greg and it's like...it's not WEIRD, but it's not NOT weird, yknow? Like we're all adults here, but-- LITERALLY WHY Ate a campaign maguffin to see what would happen. IT'S WHAT MY CHARACTER WOULD DO Committed a roleplaying choice that affected actual real-world friendships. TEARS IN THE RAIN Started 10 campaigns that later fizzled out unfinished. BINGBONG IS THE CHOSEN ONE Emotionally invested in an NPC the DM improvised on the spot so insistently and for so long that they became pivotal to saving the world.
FOCUSED is impossible for me. I have all my spells on my phone. :(
I love these! And to expand on them ... ITS OVER 9000! Convince your DM to allow for special homebrew rules, making your character so powerful that it breaks the game and kills the campaign. MASTER DEBATER Argue with your DM or fellow players 666 times over the rules for at least 30 minutes each time. Can be done multiple times during a session. ONCE AND FOREVER Agree to DM a one-shot for friends and then be stuck in the DM role for at least 10 years. ALL BY MYSELF Create an entire world with maps, NPCs and lore. Spend at least 250 hours on it. Realize that you don't want to DM the setting anymore and disband the entire project. GHOSTED Join at least 10 campaigns. Ghost them after at most 3 sessions without any reason given. ONE FOR ALL Create a character with an extended backstory. Go into detail how they saved the world and faced countless dangers. Make your character level 1.
... I hate you so much right now.

>Blessed by Fate: Roll a Natural 20 with Disadvantage The other day I (as the DM) rolled double 20s with disadvantage so the wizard used Silvery Barbs. And I rolled another 20. The universe said "fuck you it hits". (Of course, the target was wearing adamantine armor so they didn't take any extra damage.)
“Here And Back Again” - Roll a natural 20 on a death saving throw just to be downed again in the next round.
Happens way too often to my paladin for some reason
"Derailed the DM's plans"
Is this like the free square on bingo?
“Start the game”
Achievement: “How did we get here? No like seriously what the fuck”
You know, I've no idea but it does seem fun thing in a way, maybe making a funny table of these in a way that can get players inspiration once in a while or something
My character talking to a girl that is asking me to rescue her dad when I notice the "Do a chaotic evil act" in the achivements table. https://preview.redd.it/p2rdco2k2t8d1.jpeg?width=669&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6579a2fdc04bc96826ec8477b2f61ecac7823c61
Near the end of 4e, Wizards published a series of "mega-encounters" called [Lair Assault](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lair_Assault) that were designed to basically be one-off combat encounters where a table would try to complete the mission and there were special hidden objectives. I only played one of them, but apparently it had an achievement for completing the module in some ridiculously short period (maybe under 5 rounds?) which apparently required the entire party to be Voidsoul Genasi so that you could teleport through a wall and skip 90% of the module. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the program or module was called
I think I'm going to use this idea for my next campaign.
Actually did this for our Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. I’m pretty bad at giving out inspiration so I thought this would be a fun way of distributing them. Ranged from specific actions done in combat or role-playing and also for finding unique interactions throughout the campaign.
"They were Important?" - Killed a plot crucial NPC.
Come Together: the entire group is present and on time for a session The Gangster of Love: successfully seduce X NPCs with a single character We Will Rock You: defeat a boss-type encounter in a single round Be Prepared: start and finish your turn within 30 seconds, not counting time required to roll and count dice Great Balls of Fire: hit your entire party with an AoE spell
"Don't Split the Party!" Unlocked by splitting the party
**Arrow to the Knee** *Critically hit a "Soldier" with a bow* Alternatively *Use the Ceremony spell to marry a soldier.*
**Great, now we're in the Astral Plane** Put an extradimensional storage item inside another extradimensional storage item. **Don’t be That Guy** Steal from a party member. **.....Yeah they aren't coming back** Try to cast *Revivify* without the material components. **Free Willy!** Leap at least 35 feet. **Note Taker** Correctly guess the ending of an arc. **Safe!** Cast Feather Fall on 3 or more targets. **WHAT IS THAT** Find the Sphere of Annihilation.
Oh, hey! My party did that last one last session
"NOT a goddamn video game!!" Get it when you speak in character for the first time
**"10 foot poll"** Use a single mundane item to solve 10 or more different problems.
Me using the portable hole to solve several different problems.
**Zero to Hero** Complete a campaign starting at level 1 and go all the way to level 20. **Time Management Done right** Have a campaign go for a year, have at least one weekly session, without a single person canceling, not showing up, or showing up late for 52 straight sessions straight.
That second one would be the hardest achievement to get.
considering that most people take at least one holiday over the year, that's pretty much impossible - there's going to probably 2-4 sessions over the year the GM is away somewhere and so there's no game, and that's before stuff like "Christmas" where people are often away seeing family (and that's before things like "work" or "needing to look after kids" and things!). Unless you have nothing else in your life except a weekly D&D game, that's basically not happening
**JACK OF ALL TRADES** Play each class from level 1-3. **JILL OF ALL TRADES** Have at least one level of each class on a single character. **SKILL MONKEY** Gain proficiency in all skills on a single character. **TO INFINITY AND BEYOND** Play a character to 21st level or gain an epic boon. **WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE** After your character dies, make your next character identical in every way except for their name. **OUT OF ALIGNMENTS** Play a character of each alignment. **THROUGH THE AGES** Play a game of each edition of D&D starting with the Red Box. **ADVENTURE TIME** Complete a published WotC adventure. **I'M IN CHARGE NOW** DM your first game. **FIRST BLOOD** As a DM, kill a player character. **I ATTACK THE DARKNESS** Make an attack roll against a heavily obscured creature. **IT BURNS** Take 20d6 damage from lava without dying. **TOP OF THE CLASS** Have an ability score over 20. **BUT IT'S SO PRETTY** Equip a cursed item. **SPEED DEMON** Move 150 feet in one round (without teleporting).
Instead of "The Jill of All Trades" it should be called "A Most Abserd Character" (referencing the character called Abserd by Puffin Forest).
These are all on my dnd bucket list. If only one of these happens during a campaign I'll be happy: -Draw from the deck of many things -Gain access to a wish spell -Win a staring contest with a Medusa -Tame an owl bear or displacer beast -Outwit a devil in a bargain -Befriend a metallic dragon -Intimidate an adult or older evil dragon -Frighten a lich -Become a God's chosen -Have your group's "foolproof" plan to kill the boss work without a hitch -Permanently change a country's landscape and/or government -Come back from the dead without one of your party members or NPCs resurrecting you -Break the curse on a powerful magic item and use it for the rest of the campaign -Visit all planes of existence with the same character

**Does It Swing?** Use a goblin as a weapon to hit another goblin.
Drank too much caffeine. Stopped fidgeting with dice. Skipped all bathroom breaks. No stains on character sheet. repeatable (1 day/1 week /1 month/ etc.) Most games missed while not getting kicked! Most railroaded. Biggest creep

###“Coolest Rule” Your DM has to make up something on the spot to resolve an interaction and agrees to resolve all similar interactions in the same way for the rest of the campaign even though it doesn’t necessarily coincide with the rules. ###“Collateral Damage” You have just murdered a bunch of innocents with one of your AOE spells. ###“You can’t Triple Stamp a Double Stamp!” You counter spelled a counter spell countering a counter spell. ###“Hadron Collider” You put a bag of holding in a bag of holding. ###“Terminal Velocity” You fell at least 200ft in one turn ### “Defacto Leader” You’ve made the first suggestion at least 3 times and everyone else has gone along with it. ### “Tis but a scratch” You’ve survived with only 1hp remaining for 3 consecutive attacks. ### “Judas” Sold out one or more of your allies for coin. ### “Cold Turkey” You’ve gone with fully depleted spell slots for the last 3 encounters. ### “I’ve come to bargain” Challenged a creature who’s defeated you twice already for the third time. ### “Oh yeah!” Break through a stone wall with only an unarmed attack. ### “Might makes right” Convince npc’s using intimidation at least 3 times. ### “Calling Card” Describe killing an NPC in the same way 3 times. ### “I’m the captain now” Hold at least 3 hostages without having a plan first. ### “Third times the charm” Roll a Nat 20 directly after rolling two consecutive natural 1’s.
Kill the Tarrasque. Or my favorite House rule we had if you Roll 20 on attack, confirm Critical and roll another 20, Roll 20 again for instant kill no matter what. 1 in 8000 chance of that happening. And it never happened at like the big badass dragon is was always like some Blood Golem or whatever when it did happen.

The live play podcast Critjuice had achievements.
I actually just DMed a one shot (two sessions really) and tracked achievements/stats for my players. Simple stuff, most damage dealt, most damage mitigated, most kills, etc. Also awarded one for most locked doors opened, ended up tied between the rogue (lockpicking) and the fighter (door violence). They really enjoyed the recognition from those stats, and I'll be incorporating that into every campaign in the future!
