Into the Spider-Verse has some characters animated faster than others.

Pro tip: Ask your GM if everyone can start with a Bag of Holding. They’ll probably let you to avoid having to deal with encumbrance, then you can sell them or put them in each other as makeshift bombs.

I still think he’s evil. But his punishments at least happen to be just.

Honestly, I’m wondering if it’s just a world full of horrible people. The barbarian is evil, and everyone he harms is also evil because everyone is evil.

Of the ones I watched, it mostly seemed pretty fair. The leprechaun wanted people’s souls, which would presumably involve infinite torture. Probably not as bad, but the leprechaun probably wasn’t just going to do it once. He did make the Medusa’s imprisonment extra uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem significantly worse than what she was trying to do to him. It’s not clear what the succubus would do, but I’m guessing she just kills them. And he made her death a little worse than needs be, but ultimately dying is the worst part of it and she’s presumably killing people regularly.

Though the pegasus seems to be an exception. What he was doing probably was on par with the punishment he got, but I don’t think the barbarian knew anything about it. The best I could say is maybe the barbarian didn’t know he was sapient.

Still, he doesn’t seem like a good person.

It also might be an Awakened horse.

I feel like in D&D, it makes less sense to just assume a horse can’t understand you. It might be a Paladin’s Steed. They can’t talk, but can understand speech, and if you roll for stats they can be smarter than you.

Call an elf a slur and he’ll hold a grudge for 150 years.

Call a dwarf a slur and he’ll write it down in the Book of Grudges and he and his kin will hold it against you and yours until the grudge is settled.

How is it hypocracy? She treats the guy who tells the truth well and the liar badly.

A DM’s job is to make sure everyone has fun. If they want to make things realistic or they don’t want people to play murder-hobos, they should talk about it. And if they and the players can’t figure out a game that would make all of them happy, they split up and find new groups instead of playing a game that makes everyone unhappy.

The DM wasn’t happy with the player’s choices, and instead of talking to them about it, punished them with an unwinnable fight.
