I’ll keep it shortish and sweet:
As a DM, I give a flamboyant player of mine (based off of Tybalt from Romeo and Juliet) a task from a powerful king to plant evidence (a handful of orange hairs) at a failed assassination site to deter investigators. This guy sprints over, army-crawls next to the crime scene, digs a hole in the ground, and plants these hairs like you would a watermelon seed or carrot seed. I, extremely confused, questioned his actions, and if that was what he really wanted to do, and he then replies equally confused that yes, he wants to plant the hairs. I give a look to the other players who were grinning like fools. We keep playing as normal, and It’s not until after he speaks to the king in question that it dawns on him what he was supposed to do. At first I thought he was roleplaying his 8 Wisdom character, but turns out IRL he has 8 Wisdom (maybe 7). We still laugh about it now. It’s not the first time this guy fell for something so laughable, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. This is what makes DnD great.
