I was making some unique loot for a low-level party I'm running a quest for this week, and my roller derby brain intruded upon my D&D brain.

'mechanism to deploy' sounds more like heelys than proper skates

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

True, but I can't imagine true roller skates working in a medieval context without any flat surfaces, so that made more sense to me. Plus it's more gnome-y.

believe me, i'm there for it.

it would be funny if moving past your normal range of motion triggered a (low DC) dex check that could cause you to continue til you crash if failed.

Oh man, I'm going to use that. It'll have to be manual while I'm DMing, but could make for a funny moment.

Gnomish Heelys?

Also I have a dwarf in the party who keeps almost getting himself killed and really, really needs an emergency valve for his recklessness.

And soon after: the invention of dentistry —if medieval cobblestone is any indication.
