Does Mace Windu know how crappy of a Jedi he is?

I mean, dude, you know using a lightsaber really well isn't a force power, right? If so, Grievous is a Sith, but nope, he's just a cyborg, and you're just a stain on the floor after that fall.

Seriously, force telekinesis. How the f*** did you not just fly up and be like "Oh, it's on now, Palpatine!" I mean, you can reflect force lightning. How can you not fling yourself through the air? If Luke could toss a spaceship after like a week of training, you should be able to handle...What, about two bucks, maybe a buck eighty?

I start from confused and only get more chaotic as the day goes on. You'll get used to it.

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.

How do you pronounce your f***ing name?

Sill-ee, I didn't think it was that hard to pronounce, maybe the Mondays are spreading.

How do you pronounce "Qlippoth", using only phonetic spelling?

I believe this is the longest I've seen a thread of this nature go without someone chiming in with the usual "Oh, play what you feel like," or "Go with your character concept," reply.

I am genuinely amazed.

Keep the ideas rolling, folks! :P These are our last few sessions and I want to go out with a bang before stopping D&D for at least a year. I'm heavily modifying the section of Savage Tide we are in (Sea Wyvern's Wake) and basically giving the finger to rigid and proper balance in order to build up to a satisfying ending.

Oh my God! Savage Tide was the game I played that guy in!!

I also played a Black Dragon for levels 1-3 (using the 20-level progression in Dragon Magazine). Maybe a higher level...I forgot when I switched to the monk. It was when that crazy dinosaur was hiding before you get on the boat... he rolled three 20's in a row and bit my head off for an instant-kill. Great guy to play: I called all the other PCs "my minions", and my share of the treasure was "my tribute" and the player who found my egg at level 1 and raised me was "my lieutenant". We kept the gold in his backpack (i.e. "my lair") which I swam through like Scrooge McDuck.

Nothing like a tiny sized character with 18 Str at level 1 with a Stewie Griffon complex.

Oh my gosh, I love this idea. I love it to death and to pieces. Buuuut ... the rules says he'd have to be at least level 8 in Monk to start taking Drunken Master levels, seeing as he would need 8 ranks in Acrobatics - and right now the party's characters are at 4th level. Eeeesh. Would it be a big deal if I halved the requirement?

I played this guy from level 3 to about level 11. It was just a decent bare-knuckles monk at low levels, but he really gets fun around mid-level when you get Improvised Weapons. That was 3.5 of course, but with the new Improvised Weapons feats in Pathfinder I've been SERIOUSLY ITCHING to play it again lately. Too bad my DM doesn't allow 3.X stuff.

Vow of Poverty is in the Book of Exalted Deeds, and Drunken Master is of course in Complete Warrior

Rogue levels of course let you sneak attack from the tons of flat-footed hits you'll constantly have, since EVERY HIT is with an improvised weapon and the new feats make them uber.

The 8 ranks requirement was back when max ranks were level+3. It's reasonable to lower the prerequisites to 5 with the Pathfinder changes to skills.

actually you could never own the booze to use half the drunken master abilities

That's why he gets the other PCs to buy him drinks!

Like a true homeless guy following you around.

Now taking bets: Over/Under 500 posts? Anyone? 2:1 odds for over 500 posts.

Also taking bets on cyclical, repeating arguments. 500:1 that the same stuff will be repeated that's been stated for dozens upon dozens of replies. Anyone?

This magical hobo idea is pretty cool, though my group had a gentleman's agreement to stay away from Vow Of Poverty- it's to powerful in low-magic campaigns and crippling in high magic ones.
