Average Party (Art by Shen Comix)

Forgot to mention the absolutely incredible alt text:
::: spoiler Text
At the top is written “Average D&D Party:”
A stern warrior clad in iron armor, with a billowing red cape and a red cloth tied around his waist. His hands rest on the handle of a very wide sword, the tip of which stands on the ground in front of him. He is labeled “Warrior on a just and noble quest to defeat an existential threat to the world that they live in.”
A girl with messy, blonde hair, and a bronze chestplate sewn directly onto her sleeveless shirt. She has a white ribbon tying a small messy ponytail at the back top of her hair, and is wearing tall boots with bronze arcs attached to the top of the foot parts. She is carrying a large bronze hammer, and a large bronze shield with a very upset-looking face engraved on it. She herself has an innocent expression. She is labeled “Idiot”.
A woman clad in purple with a long-sleeved shirt with symmetrical holes on the arms and torso. She has pointed ears, like an elf, and is wearing gold earings and two gold necklaces. She also wears a dress that looks somewhat like a lamp cover with a spider-web pattern on it, and has a strap that wraps around her shoulder. She wears a placid, pretty expression, but behind her in low opacity is her face distorted with mischief and hate. She is labeled “Manipulator”.
A small mage dressed in green with yellow details, and with a long, frilly mage hat featuring a poofy yellow flower on the forehead area. She also wears an equally frilly green cloak held together by a star shaped button, and golds a lightning bolt shaped spellcasting staff. She has an innocent expression, but sharp teeth and two side-ponytails peaking out from beneath her hat. She is labeled “Other, Smaller Idiot”. :::

She wears a placid, pretty expression
That is not how I’d describe her expression. To me, that expression looks smug/condescending/knowing
We now know which kind of Yuri Shen likes

Other, smaller, more destructive idiot

It’s like the adventurer party that shows up at your keep in NWN1, looking for work.
NWN2, actually. NWN1 didn’t have any kind of base to operate out of. NWN2 is also the one that did the meta stuff.

I feel like the compulsive thief is missing
And the murder hobo (sometimes the same person).

Yeah, the eyes and smirk give it away. She has this energy:

And the murder hobo (sometimes the same person).
Their absence is why the idiots look so happy.

This seems like an ai description
What part of it?

Pretty close

The long, drony, dry delivery of it. I may be wrong.
-

Our campaign is missing a thief! But otherwise, this is spot on for our current line up

- Strong idiot
- Small idiot
- Old idiot
- Horny idiot
- Stealthy idiot
- Tough idiot

Pretty close
Of all the things for the AI to mess up, I wouldn’t have expected inconspicuous typos. “A” instead of “an,” “orld” instead of “world”

I’m usually the Evil Idiot. Like a Saturday morning cartoon villain.

I always wind up playing The Manipulator (aka The Smart One). Even when I’d rather play The Idiot.
The group I play with… they’re not dumb, but I am much better at puzzles & problem solving. So if I try to play a character who wouldn’t know how to get out of this-or-that situation, or wouldn’t know how to solve a puzzle, I wind up subtly nudging my cohorts into the right answers, and even then they don’t get my hints and I wind up outwardly handling the situation that my dimwitted character shouldn’t be able to handle.

I feel like the compulsive thief is missing
Smaller idiot usually takes that role, but all are known to indulge
-
The warrior went on a noble, world-saving quest, and they joined up with two idiots and a manipulator. Sounds like he’s not even smart enough to realise he’s also an idiot.
Meanwhile, the manipulator teamed up with three idiots, who she can probably manipulate easily. She’s going places.
And then they save the world and universe, so the warrior gets everything they want (plot permitting) while the manipulator (character) can simply never out-manipulate the DM who decides what reality is?

When I ran Savage Pathfinder, the characters ended up along almost exactly these lines.
-

Nah, they all get what they want. The world is saved, the idiot got the final blow and is hailed as a hero, the manipulator swindled a massive reward for their efforts, and the second idiot ate the reward. Or, more likely, the campaign falls apart long before they get to that bit.
-
Listen: you jump into a dungeon in the hopes that it’s going to lead to a better life in any way and not misery and death you are an idiot. Adventurers are self selected to be idiots.
Well, some of us might value our lives very little, so…there’s also that.
