It makes sense that they are concerned for the rights of NPCs.

I've been wondering what the original looked like. That's about what I expected.

This one is kind of funny but probably not in the way the author intends.

The concept of a woman knowing anything relevant about rpg rules much less enough to try rules lawyering in a believable fasion is so absurd that it got a grin out if me.

When it comes to DND, rules are made to be broken!

In my own house rules, Nat 20 means success. Always. Every time. Does it make logical sense? Doesnt matter, you win. And the world will bend if it needs to to facilitate your win.

He's looking for a slicker snatch?

What are the odds that the person who made this modified comic looks more like triggerlypuff than any of the women in the comic.

And with a dick. Because, white knights, especially trannies, love this shit.

Yes, and in Monopoly, the rules don't say you get a bunch of free money if you land on free parking. That doesn't stop everyone I've ever played with from doing it anyway.

Throw a tantrum and flip the board over. That'll show 'em.

I've always wanted to make a version of monopoly with loans, a stock market, and increasing value in real estate.

The best part is when online "racists" take these meme comics and tighten up the dialog to make them funnier and more concise while retaining the original point that they ultimately disagree with.

I see someone fails to understand what the results on rolls actually represent. It means she wouldn't be making that stupid speech - he would have impressed the socks off of her. Whether or not it holds with her character is another story, and possibly the basis for the story at hand ....

It's almost as bad as some stupid article I remember reading in the 90s about "vampire kids", and how one of these supposed V:tM fans had described a male vampire she supposedly converted as "her sire". Uh, bitch, you're HIS sire; in V:tA the term is neuter gender.

Yeah, going "Hey, wanna dance?" and immediately getting "Ew, get away creep!" is the kinda shit that only makes sense if you're trying to roleplay off a natural 1 on persuasion, a near 0 charisma or some weird/asshole character quirk.

Otherwise a simple yeah/nah makes way more sense as someone who isn't a nutjob forcing their own narrative against the rolls.

Indeed. A 20 on the roll means that circumstances beyond the usual line up to result in markedly better performance, even if there is no "critical success". How this is approached is up to the DM and players present. Perhaps some aspect of the gent reminded her of a childhoood crush or a folk hero's appearance, or his straightforward approach happened to be narratively what she was looking for. But the character themselves is not declaring a dice roll and victory, as that is not a seduction check, unless, again, narratively that WOULD HAVE BEEN one, say for example you're in a temple dedicated to a god of gambling and whoring in which case such a statement perhaps COULD be an attempt at seduction.

You don't say "I attempt to hit the dragon with my sword" and then roll a swimming check followed by a contested herbology check. The skill check has to relate to the action performed.

DC checks, while they are random at times, should be comparable to others in the same range. Let's assume this nerd's got literally zero game: net 0 modifiers. In 5e, what is a DC21+ skill check? The Guide says it should be particularly hard, even for someone who is trained and skilled in the thing being tested. They give the example of hearing an animal that is hiding silently. Another example would be dodging an elite archmage's carefully aimed Fireball. Compare the skill required to do those, the time taken to learn how, and how much time and effort you would need to be a passing pick-up-artist.

"Roll for seduction" can have high DCs: Say the person literally has no interest in anything sexual for some reason. But that is no reason for the DM to deny the roll. D&D is improv, the answer should always be "yes" or "yes, but...". The uninterested person becomes enamored with the roller, even if not physically. They find your attempt funny, and raise friendliness rating two ranks. It isn't mind-control, but the job of the DM is to find a way to make the effort reward the player. They're engaged and faithful? They know a friend who'd like to meet you. They're restricted in their actions or have impossible standards? They set forward those standards in clear language, ideally as a plot hook ("My father will only let me give my chastity to someone who can refurbish the haunted mill, you see... I've been trying to figure out how to do it myself, I can share with you what I've learned" or whatever).

Yeah. I'd quit that DM right in the middle of that diatribe. Also: this comic wasn't ... comical. I think I'll quit it now.

Just do the fucking dance, DM. Make it as awkward as you want if that makes you feel better.
