Charisma should not drop negative and then rebound to 1 at 24 months. Please revise.
Default rules state that stats can not go below zero, extra negatives will only go into effect if buffs are applied such as +2 baby clothes
Commoners have 4hp. So, for reference, 4 successful baby scratches drops an average, normal person to zero HP and they are rendered unconscious and have about a 40% chance of death if they don’t receive medical aid.
But STR/DEX would be 1 bc 0 is not possible. Would have a -5 to hit - so 30% on an AC10 unarmored commoner.
I think this means you have a 0.3% chance of permadeath in an encounter with a baby if they only make 4 attacks and you don’t hit back and they don’t keep scratching your unconscious body.
If they attack you 10 times (1 minute of scratching w/ 6 sec turns), there is a 20% chance they land 4 scratches on you and you have a 40% chance to permadie once downed - so 8% chance of permadeath in one 10 turn encounter with a baby with the same stipulations as above.
Commoner here: this is accurate.
Yeah, sounds about right
Am a parent, can confirm, I am dead.
Just on the inside tho
Aren’t they also -5 to hit due to lack of str?
Or if the DM rolls for HP, they have a 1/8 chance of dying from one hit. Maybe they get death saves, but those are optional if it’s not a PC.
So… are baby nails a thing to be wary of? Funny
Yup, my daughter cut her nose quite a few times just rubbing her face, and slice us regularly. They grow from well trimmed to dangerous weapons in less than a week so there’s no avoiding it really
Baby nails are sharp, thin and attached to a thing that flails around aimlessly. The greatest danger is to eyes.
they are often on flesh that has no callus
Technically this is a dead baby RAW
Would you prefer it COOKED, you psycho?!
Well if the campaigns gonna kill a baby it might head towards cannibalism too
why is it dead?
iirc in D&D if any of your stats reach 0 you die. Might be only body stats (str/dex/con), not sure.
I think I remember Wis doesn’t kill you at 0, but you go fully insane and lose control of your character. But that might just be older versions and not 5th ed rules. I feel like I recall something about going into a coma if Int hits zero, maybe that is new rules for mental stats…?
Youre correct, at least in 3e only 0 con kills you outright. All the others just make you comatose or some other state in which you lose control of your character.
But in 5e all 0 attribute states mean you die.
So 0 charisma means you die of ugliness? You’re so disgusted by yourself you just stop breathing? Or the gods find you so unappealing they reach down and snuff you out?
Iirc you lose all sense of yourself and experience total ego death, then real death follows. Charisma is more than just how hot you are.
That makes sense, we’ve all had days like that
Str or Dex at 0 = death in RAW. Granted this uses Agility instead of Dex, so I have no idea what established system (if any) they are using, but my guess is this is what above commenter is referencing.
I wish my baby would cast sleep on itself.
Just because they can, doesn’t mean they will. They are saving it, Baby doesn’t get many spell slots so they gotta make them count.
So essentially they won’t go to sleep because they don’t know when their next long rest will be.
“My baby in Christ, you will be inducing the long rest.”
Wisdom is 1. They can’t know that.
Charisma reaches -4 just before they turn two
seems about right

Hilarious. Just needs the Shout spell.
Guess it’s random, one of mine came with the inferno spell, the other had deafening shriek.
Or alarm. Sometimes Tasha’s uncontrollable laughter.
Cloudkill 😆
Random debuff: 0.1% chance per turn to take 100 damage while sleeping.
1/3000 in Australia so 0.03%
Charisma goes down by 1 from 20 once a month for 24 months, it already hits 1
Yes, but it might gain other buffs to Charisma between now and 24 months. Charisma is forced to 1 at 24 months regardless.
Clearly I don’t play D&D
My memory is they’re max Cha until age 2, some even beyond that. I don’t think Cha drops gradually, I think it’s all at once from 20 to 1
Wasn’t Carl only an intelligence of three when he first entered the dungeon?
Different system
