Horrible D&D Dad Jokes

Check out the Vault Bundle here.

Two rangers that are out hunting for food are walking through Tangleroot Forest, and discover a large well in the ground.

One of the rangers curious as to how deep this well was threw a small stone into and turned his head to listen…………nothing. He then gathers up a larger stone, picks it up with both hands and throws it in the well, turns his head to the side to listen…………nothing.

He exclaims to his buddy, man, that is some well. Lets find something bigger to throw off in there. Well the two find a cross tie. One says to the other, pick up one side, I’ll get the other. Surely when this thing hits the bottom we’ll know it. So the two throw this cross-tie into the well and begin to listen.

After a few seconds they hear a goat, wailing at the top of its lungs, while it is running straight toward the two hunters. The goat continues toward them, passes right between the men, and goes off in the well. One hunter in excitment and disbelief, proclaims to the other, did you see that crazy goat!!?? That damn thing just jumped in that well!!

The commotion attracted the attention of a local farmer, and he made his way over to the hunters. He asked the guys, “Have you seen my goat, I cant seem to find him?”

One of the hunters still excited tells the farmer, sure we have seen your goat. He just ran down that hill straight toward us and jumped off in this well. The farmer replies back, nah, that couldn’t have been my goat, my goat was tied to a cross-tie.

What’s the difference between a wizard and a sorcerer?
Class.

The fighter, rogue, cleric, and wizard are battling a lot of ghouls.

The fighter does his best in the midst of them hoping his high AC keeps him healthy. The rogue can’t sneak attack so pings away with a bow from afar. The cleric joins the fighter battling the ghouls after spending three rounds casting Divine Favor, Bull’s Strength, and Protection From Evil on himself. The wizard casts Web hoping to hold off some of the ghouls, a Flaming Sphere to help the fighter with hit point attrition, and uses a scroll of Mirror Image for defense. It’s a tough battle lasting several rounds. The cleric heals himself a bit. The wizard eventually has to resort to Magic Missile and even firing a crossbow. At last the final ghoul drops to the fighter’s blade, but too late, that ghoul had already killed the cleric. After the party drinks several potions of healing and a few rounds after that, they get ready for battle again as the cleric’s corpse rises as a ghoul. The rogue exclaims, “Oh so now he turns undead!”
