At my weekly D&D game, we're 6 players and a DM. Four of us are in our 30ies and have known eachother a while and played together before.
Two of the players are young, like 12-14 ish and new to the game. So naturally, for the weeks we've played, they've been a little shy about voicing ideas, joining in on our joking around, trying things, etc. Makes total sense. No one is on their case about this and we do our best to encourage them. Thankfully, they do keep coming back. So clearly they are enjoying themselves to some degree.
Today, we were in a big boss battle. One of these kids, a Ranger, has two attacks thst turn.
He fires his bow, but rolls a Nat 1. The GM rules that this means his bow snaps at a critical moment.
He hesitates, then states he wanrs to try and throw his two daggers at the bad guy. Fine idea in a pinch.
GM reminds him he only has one attack yet, so he'll only let him throw one.
Beat.
Kid looks up with the smuggest grin responds "hey now - I've got two arms."
