So this is the story of the dumbest challenge I ever faced as a player in a TTRPG.
This is not a story about trying to do something literally impossible, like the time me and Spell Bro couldn't get up a cliff because our strength scores were too low and Spell Bro damn near killed hisself because he tried like six times anyway. It is also not a story about doing something in a really dumb way, like the time me and Spell Bro killed another party member because we were working under the assumption that being inside a T-rex would provide insulation for lightning and fire damage, which we probably should have rolled a check about instead of just deciding it was fine.
Most of those stories involve Spell Bro.
Instead this is a story about the first time I played Vampire the Masquerade, when a combination of game mechanics and the ST meant the story could barely even get started. ( Masqueraaaaaade )
