Dear most holy of followers of Dice Christ and Josh, I come to you with a confession of withheld information. A friend and I had played together a bit and also my first DM. After a long while of us both being dnd nerds, we were finally both players in the same game, and he was talking about how he built his character to be a Jack of all Trades style character who was good at everything, but not great at anything. To accomplish this, he spread out his Ability Score Improvements as +1 to everything, meaning all 6 of his stats were odd and he gained no benefits from all 3 of his Ability Score Improvements. I was shocked my former DM didn't realise how stat improvements worked and decided not to say anything as we were already playing and I didn't want to risk embarrassing him or making it awkward. We ended up playing three sessions with those characters in a mini-campaign, and I never said anything about his numbers. It's a few years later now and I still think of that odd Sorcerer, and if I should have said something. Please grant me your guidance on if I did the right thing by not mentioning it, and allow me the forgiveness I need before I play again.

So in a game in which I play in, we are level 5, and to keep it short, the dm seemingly took our victory in saving a stronghold from attackers by having the BBEG show up to basically tell us to go away, and that we were to be gone before his troops show up, or we will die. I was upset that he would just give us an impossible fight where the only option was to run away, so I started to needle the bbeg until his dragon ate my hand. I then decided I guess I should go, but I would have my revenge. I'm a warforged, so we said that our artificer was able to create a new hand for me, and I started to think of an evil plan to defeat the bbeg, because I was upset his dragon ate my hand. I tried to formulate a plan to store items that have glyph of warding cast on them, but the description of the spell states that if the object moves more than 10 ft from where the spell was cast, it would dispell and wouldn't activate. I thought I could get around this by casting the spell while inside of a bag of holding, therefore casting the spell while inside of a pocket dimension. I argued that while I would be moving, the pocket dimension inside of a bag of holding would not, so given enough downtime, I could store like 200 fireballs in a bunch of glyphs to one shot the dragon that ate my hand. I brought this up to the dm, but they decided that even though the bag is a pocket dimension, it is still moving while I'm moving. What does the court think? Is the pocket dimension of a bag of holding moving while you are? I leave it to the benevolent court to decide.
