This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ok this is obviously a parody thread but you KNOW the snowflakes are taking the game in this direction. So if such an absurd circumstance were to be introduced, would the player then need DM consent to heal? After all, they had to consent to taking the damage in the first place so they own it. :P

You wish it was parody.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

You need to get consent for each attack and each effect.  So if a ghoul attacks three times with the claw/claw/bite, that's express consent for each damage roll and each paralyze effect.  After you determine if it would have happened, so that the player can feel properly heroic and dangerous.  But wait, there's more.  This is supposed to be an RPG.  Therefore, as the GM, you need to role play the ghoul asking for and getting express consent for each attack and effect.  If no common languages are spoken, then translators must also be found.  Could get the whole dungeon involved before it is all over.

It's shortly after the big assembly to resolve this conflict that everything ends in tears.  Someone asked the red dragon to mediate, and dragons ain't got time for this nonsense.

Terribly sorry. Did this thread deprotagonize you in any way?

The consent was given when you agreed to join the game.
While you personally are not at risk, your character certainly is. How much risk is based on the game premise.

I saw a "You need consent to kill a PC" comment too.

Yes, of course, but you see my little snowflake is ever so intolerant to pain, so I would appreciate it very much if, while I was heroically kicking your ass you would be so kind as to ask my permission prior to doing anything that may result in injury. Mkay. Thanks.

Perhaps a DM / GM should run a very lethal fictional scenario, at their gaming table.  Then, after the players have lost their first player characters; the ones who stick around to create and play a 2nd character, are the ones you really wanted at your table anyway.

In our group we have on occasion humorously declared 'No, I don't consent to this!' (usually after a failed save or critical hit)

Strictly in jest, though.

As GM, I do not consent to your requirement of consent to take damage.

It's consents all the way down.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry
