Since I don't carry ten foot poles or quarterstaffs, I sometimes make them in the field, and when I do I use the copper sheets to protect the ends of the poles or quarterstaffs by wrapping the end, pounding the copper into a cap, and then heating it to fuse it together. Sometimes if the GM allows it I use magic fire spells to do this.
I also use it to modify iron pots and pans to make them cook better since some of my characters take cooking very seriously.
I've rolled them into tubes and melted them watertight to hold scrolls or important papers. I've even used them to hold samples of liquids that I thought might be valuable when I didn't have a spare flask for that purpose.
I also use them when I need some small object for a special purpose, such as making a crude bell or whistle. Copper is easy to cut, easy to bend and shape, easy to beat into shapes, easy to melt, etc. A round stone, a hammer and a fire is all you need to make a copper pot.
And it's reusable. You can always beat the copper back into sheets when you are done with it.
Most of this is more role playing than mechanics, but I do like to role play. If I buy a wooden shield, I'll frequently cover it's edges with copper to improve its durability.
Lots of stuff like that. This is genius and I'm stealing it.
Brassbaboon: I'm just curious. What do you use the copper sheets for?
I just started using "Achievement" mini-feats in my game and they work pretty good. If the PC's do something that is unusual for a game (like not slaughter a goblin tribe, but find a peaceful way to get rid of them), they'll get a mini-feat.
Would Hobgoblins have witches (as in the class) in their midst?
The 250 lb woman picks up the 150 lb woman and bodyslams her with such a force that they break the ring.
Do you think a terrasque could stand up to todays modern weaponry?

Hehehehehehe Dude, I'd convince you to buy yourself a double dong and use it on yourself. Cha-ching! ;-) How......how did you know about that time in summer camp...... The big body of water they named after you as a result of your intense reaction from the double headed gadget speaks for itself, puddles. Did they ever dye the water a different color?? Red is just really tacky for a lake....

But wait!! There's more.
Our DM rolled on a random treasure chart he made, and came up with some extra stuff for us.
One of these items was a short sword. Our wizard used "Detect Magic" to see if any of it was magical and the sword (as were other items) was.
The former dwarf said he wanted it for his halfling. Our wizard responded with: We don't know who you are. Why would we give you a magical sword? And you aren't there anyway!
*Sigh*
Our DM ruled that since the cleric dropped, the silence spell went away. Meaning now our wizard and druid could do something. Which they did! Spells went everywhere, most of the Stag Lord's forces were dropped by a Sleep spell and taken out of the fight. Our Barbarian was boosted by a Barksin spell and crit rolled on the owlbear, taking it out of the fight in one hit.
Our paladin used his LoH to get the cleric back up, who then used his channel energy to heal us. The problem is that every time he did that, the Stag Lord attacked him and dropped him. The cleric ended up dying after taking a crit roll and getting almost max damage from the Stag Lord.
Our druid got dropped and managed to stabilize herself with a -14 out of a 15 Con. The barbarian got dropped to -5 which means all we had left was an archer paladin and our wizard.
Our wizard went all out, using wands, scrolls and his spells to attack the Stag Lord and the paladin dropped his bow and used his bastard sword to go toe to toe with him.
We ended up winning, barely. The paladin was down to 3 HP and our wizard was out of memorized spells. Reviving our 2 compatriots was paramount, so we used the cure potions from the Stag Lord to do so.
However,
In the middle of the "Battle for our Game", our former dwarf player decides to make a new PC. He announces his stats RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BATTLE.
(In no particular order) 18, 17, 17, 16, 16, 15
No one saw him roll dice. The DM made him wait until we were done and then he called shenanigans. Our player was very upset and said that most of us had an 18.
20 minutes later, he re-rolled stats. >.<
The rest of the party was going after our fat lootz. We raided the Stag Lord, his bedroom and went to the basement and tangled with a druid.
My lovely wife comes up with the idea of taking the dwarf's stuff ("He's not gonna need it!!) and passing it out/selling it/keeping it for later.
The former dwarf said no, he already sold it to get his new halfling bard toys. We said "You're DEAD. You have no control over what happens to your dwarf."
The DM compromised and said we get all the dwarf's stuff and the player still gets his halfling's stuff.
We havent finished it, but here is where we are at.
Cleric casts silence on himself (I know....) to make him quiet. We sneak up a hill when undead start popping out. We make it past them, but the cleric refuses to leave the undead "alive". We are all still silenced, which makes our wizard and druid somewhat ineffective.
We make it up to a wooden wall and the cleric REFUSES to back away so the druid can wood shape a hole in the wall. After much debate, the cleric moves out of range and the druid does her thing.
We enter, still haven't been spotted yet.
We have no rogue, so the most quietest one of us does the recon. The wizard. He moves around, still silenced and finds the front gate with rooms inside. Now the plan is to circle around and see whats in the back of the castle.
The cleric disagrees.
He proceeds to walk right into the room and alerts 2 guys eating chicken. He attempts to fight them, to no avail.
The Stag Lord and goons have been alerted to our presence and battle commences.
One problem. The cleric refuses.....REFUSES to drop the silence spell. His reason: "If we stay silenced, less people will know we are here." I reply: "We are in combat and half of our forces (wizard & druid) can't really do anything unless we get out of range of you, and I think they know we're here." His reply to me: "Tough. I'm not dropping it."
The DM has him roll a wisdom check. The cleric passes and the DM says "You gut instinct is to drop the spell." Cleric: "Well, my gut is wrong."
We fight 3 goons and the owlbear gets released, not dropped or fought, just released. The Stag Lord, being the Rogue he is, decided to attack the guy who has his back to him. Karma kicks in and LO AND BEHOLD...it's the cleric, who pretty much takes max damage from the arrow. The cleric's next initiative cycle, he tries to cast a cure spell on himself. The DM says it doesn't happen. The cleric goes: "Why???? I'm a cleric, I rolled good on my Spellcraft!!!!" The DM: "You. Never. Dropped. The. Silence. Spell."
That's where we ended until after Christmas.
Here's our party:
All level 3
Human Barbarian
Dwarf Cleric
Human Paladin of Erastil
Half-Elf Druid
Human Abjurer
We want to take him on, but we don't want the campaign to end if we can't do it.
Please no discussions/comments on "Do it or find out". We've been at this for 3 months and I want to move on. Our group is at a serious impass about this.
Thanks!
TAD, I gave you the link you wanted!!!!!!!!!!!

That was W-M for me. This Wed., I'm feeling a little better. The med bills are becoming overpowering, our fridge is becoming empty, my boss is....disagreeable with my stomach.
I think "someone up above" hates me. ;P
Oh, and my 360 red ringed yesterday.

Uhm, isn't there some sort of unspoken rule about people's stuff being in a roon means it's theirs? ;)
We've got to move your stuff from the old thread here.
I found a large cave with a giant penny, a T-Rex, and a bunch of bats! That should be roomy enough for your collection.
Somebody neglected poor Hugh Jackman, though. There's just a skeleton in the torture chamber.
Uhm, my stuff can't be in a cave!! Not good for the material it is made of. I need a dry warm space. ;)
Poor Hugh, he will be missed. HEY LYNORA!! WE NEED A NEW PLAY THING! :) The cave comes with a butler. He might be able to keep the cave dry and warm.
Wait, something about this cave seems familiar...It wouldn't happen to already be inhabited by Christian Bale would it? ;) Hmm...what do you know, it does!
Do you want to keep him? If not, we can feed him to the dragon, or let the suddenly hyper pony trample him.
Well, we can't let him loose. He'll go and make more bad movies...Hmmm. Eh, keep him for now. We can always toss him to the dragon later if he doesn't work out. ;) Bale doesn't make horribly bad movies. Plus I bet he's the type of guy that would "take it" every so often.
So after reading this thread, I am curious to know what the threads were. Or do I not want to know?

For me, it's pretty much the same reason I don't have a blog/FaceBook/MySpace/etc. page. As an active duty military member who works on computer networks and holds a security clearance, it makes me harder to target for espionage.
As an IT professional, the amount of information that can be gathered about someone from public records and Internet searches can be pretty scary. Once the information is out there, anyone with a computer and a modicum of knowledge can find it. There have been cases of people losing/being denied jobs because of what they posted to social networking sites, blogs, or their personal web-page. There are also cases of espionage where the operative used data gathered from Internet sources to help target an individual (interests, hobbies, family, friends, personal history, etc.). See...now you got me all paranoid that "Big Brother" is going to get me.
So for a roleplaying topic, is there no hope of reconciliation? WIll you always be fighting?
