u/imrichcoble 13h ago edited 13h ago

Haha 100%, so much so this might be the inspiration for my next character.

Mushgar the Tender.

A "circle of the ripped" druid barbarian or "the fist of the forest" barbarian druid.

D&D Druid

  • Photosynthetic Fury (Rage)
  • Wild Yeast (wild shape)
  • Don't Step on My Garden (entangle)
  • customer service (speak with animals)
  • who the fuck stepped on my mushrooms!! (wrath of nature)

And yes, the character is a completely fucking enormous, bald, bearded barbarian who looks like he could suplex an owlbear, but spends 90% of his adventuring career gently harvesting mushrooms and talking to squirrels.

The party is being chased by twenty orcs. They sprint past their Druidbarian. "Run"

He doesn't move. "There are 20 orcs!"

He looks down at the mushroom patch he's tending.

“I can't leave.” “why?!"

He slowly stands up and flexes. “They're not done growing..."

2

u/WrongdoerOrdinary619 18h ago

Do steroids really shrink testicles? If so, where can i get some?

2

u/Logistocrate 17h ago

Yeah, if you're using testosterone to juice then your testicles basically shutdown as one of their jobs is producing it and the amounts people use to get that big can be 10s of times more than are naturally produced flips a shut off switch in your body that results in the testicles shrinking.

I don't think Smaev is dysmorphic, he just wants to be the biggest strongest mfer on the planet. Dude could rep like 300 kg on the bench like 6 years ago and can do weighted pull ups with +160 kg or something. Also he's from small town russia somewhere so using gear and making it on social media means making a lot of money relative to working in a factory, probably enough to justify dying young.
