Well, I hope this meme is true, because if you come to my table not knowing how to play your character, your life is very much in danger.

Conjure animals works by throwing that spell card into the garbage as I put 'Summon Beast' in its place.

Sounds fine to me, tbph. What could possibly go wrong? :D [/s]

... also, unironically, I think it's good to accept that sometimes, my character was born to die in a hilarious way, lol. I don't go out of my way to die, but when my wisdom score is -1, and I have no idea how spells work, narrative realism demands blood!

This reminds me of how the main character of Mistborn learns to use her powers. Her mentor praises her willingness to jump from of a high structure right away, commenting that his own teacher had to shove him off the first time.
