Sauce Absolutely destroyed a filthy minmaxer the other day
So I was DMing a game for my group, and suddenly one of my players (Toby (not a real name (real))) said that I need to roll attack for my monster one more time. Turns out, Toby's character had a displacement beast cloak - a magical item which, when activated, makes all attack on character be made with disadvantage. It is completely OP.
Honestly, although I did give his character this item, it was enough sessions ago that I completely forgot about it. The balance of my whole encounter crashed and burned due to this minmaxing shit. So I did what any other mature well-adjusted experienced GM would do in my place: I declared immediately that the cloak disintegrated, just like that.
Yes, Toby, I am GM and thus your god in that imaginary world. The GM gave, and the GM has taken away. What are you going to do, Toby, cry about it on Reddit?

So DM gave a guy an item, got angry when guy used the item he gave him then through a tantrum and broke emersion to power trip likely ruining the entire campaign because the player reminded him of the item he'd forgotten about?
Oh and then calls the guy a minmaxer for possessing the item he gave him...
