No more prunes's page

I play with my wife the woman rolls more 18s that is right the laws of luck warp around my wife's dice during character creation. I roll bad. My dice mock me. However my DM watches my character like a hawk, and keeps an eye on my wife. The stats are second to the player and the players INT AND WIS. Some times it sucks that his/her character is stronger faster, and smarter than yours, but it kicks when your sissy saves the day on brillant planning and a little luck. I am not a saint and yes it is a pain to play handicap to the noob. But the point buy was designed for tournments and full parties, a three man crew on point buy may be short on a stat that they need.
Got to go with luck for creation and skill to keep my limp leg character in the race.

The Bard tried to make the party's cleric and the villian make a love contection. The Ranger was a psycho that once told a NPC to stop attacking when the party was out numbered and cornered because he and I quote "Was F'ing up his kill count"
True story same campaign. I think my player are insane.

This has to be the funniest post I have EVER SEEN!!!! ROFL!

And No More Prunes, what goddess was that?

Gubbaffet~The best gnome.

A home brew evil dragon god the character was a munchkin's delight my best friend was a dragon. And please call me Prunes.

Holy Crap a rolled up newspaper, that really works, coool. Here munchkin, here munchkin, munchkin. I've been throwing prunes at him.

I survived a fight with a Goddess, But in my defence, SHE STARTED IT...

1st edition Barbarian named Grogg.
Str 19
Dex 16
Con 19
Int 5
Wis 6
Cha 14
Dumber than a sack of rocks. Those are my 1-9th level stats I eventually found a way to increase his int and wis to a workable level (he had a more that ten word vocab.) He bare knuckled dragons, once attacked a pair of golds because he thought it was unfair for them to gang up on that poor green dragon.
Challaged the an evil dragon goddess because she made him mad...seriously she insulted his fighting prowess, so I jumped her in her own plane. Grogg was snatched from under her claw by a demi god that hated the godess in guestion. Agued with my rescuer for a hour that "I had her right where I wanted her"

I loved that character I wouldn't play him ever a again but that barbar ruled. I still get a little excited when I think about the pure mayhem that Munchkin beast could wreak.

Mmmmmm...killin'...Mmmmm...

I woke up naked in a field this morning, my face covered with chicken feathers and gore. What does it all mean?

GRRREAT PARTY!!!

I have a player who thinks roleplaying is "I rolled a 35 on my bluff/gatherinfo/intimidate/diplomacy check" My response is "And want did you said". I'm not looking for Shakespeare here but a 35 bluff check means that you spent a LOT of points on bluff, go you.
"I tell the guard that we are were called for by random noble A." Now a 35 means the right name was dropped and the guard isn't sure if challeging your group is a good idea. It's not great but it helps the DM keep the reaction of random guard believible.

PC: I rolled a 35 bluff
DM: The guard rolled a 11 on his sense motive, ok the guard leaves your group alone.
OR
PC: I tell the guard that we are on a secret mission for Lord "A".I got a 35 on my roll.
DM:OK,guard rolls an 11, looks like you spooked him he must have heard something about Lord "A" he backs away and leaves.

The guard could even offer to clear them with some of the other guards or offer some local info. Or he could be working againist Lord "A" and "help" the party into trouble to hurt their suppose boss.
It's not much the other player could help with a roll that high. No one but a lawyer or a congressman could pull that lie off with out help.

*Whimper*prunes bad. If the adventure doesn't work for you don't use it. I have a collection of Dungeons but I don't run pre-writen adventures. I do steal plots and ideas from them. Evil lord looking for evil relic no world no problem any evil noble in any kingdom, empire, forest, etc. If the adventure doesn't fit in your world don't modify it strip it and use your own people places and things. The locales are renamed the villians are yours. One more thing Quit you're WHINING.
DEAR GOD THE PRUNES *whimper*

Kobolds and Goblins. My players know that if they see one of the little guys he's either a decoy or a medium powered sorcerer. Remember the goblin god grants trickery as a domain Disguise self any one. "We need to save that child from those goblins" MOO HA HA foolish mortals,er sorry I just had a Evilgasm. MMMMMMM, goblin carnage. Go My Little Kobold of Doom. MOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 'cough' 'cough'

Big Jake mentioned something about a Half-Doppleganger. What book would I find that in?

I saw a Half Doppleganger template in one of my Dragons but I'm not sure which one. The idea was interesting but the ECL modifiers were high like 3 or 4 for some of the templates in that article. good luck in finding that Dragon I think it might have been the spies issue.

Thor, well, I mean it hurths wrote:

I was just wondering.

What would be the perfect party to DM for? (five people only).

My ideal party to DM for:

1 chips & salsa-bringer
1 veggie tray-bringer
1 coffee-bringer
1 chocolate goody-bringer
1 antacid-bringer

Plus little gifts for the DM like minis or markers or post-its are always a plus.

FOLKS WE HAVE A WINNER!!! I bow my head in shame, no world shaking spellcaster can defeat the man who bringith munchies and drinks.

I run a game for a few of my friends the rise I said that the all cleric group was sick is because it would take me as a player about two seconds to splatter most monsters. If kill it you can animate it

That was the prunes talk I'm sorry. It was intended as good humored teasing i didn't realize you were so sensitive. Hagen I am sorry if I offended you.

First I think elementals are immune to crits (I could be mistaken) Second I had a ranger in one of my games that character did so much damage that I felt bad for the monsters I had the party fight. You want a ranger with damage take archery as your free feats for combat style and then carry a great sword or a bastard sword good str, two hands, power attack, quick draw and SSSPPLLAAT!!. Quickly put about three arrows (3d8+strx3) then drop the bow and two handed power att that poor monster into a googey paste.Str 16+3,MC MW longbow 600+gp rapid shot, at second level your ranger can take a -1 attack for two attacks (1d8+3)a magic bow at higher levels negates this penalty.

NEVER SELL THE BOOKS. I have a collect of books from 1st 2nd 3nd and 3.5. I love my books ask my wife. The game is some of the best times ever. No one can take the your first ogre from you.Your friends might not understand but the fellow gamers know. I found and bought a copy of the first box set I ever ran. That first game was the most hacked up, failing, you get the idea. But went I found that First Quest box I remembered the first adventure I ever ran, mistakes and all would you sell a family album no because its not as important to someone else as it is to you. You stop being a gamer two weeks after you die or when you pass the dice to the next generation. Don't giving up the game man for some its an adventure and for others its the only thing that we can look to when we need to believe the hero wins and the best things in life are guarded by devious traps and cunning monsters.

VIVA LA GAME

Good thinks that its good is the best good evil justifies what it does. Keep or drop it but never forget the first two rules of the game.

1.The DM is always right.
2.If the DM is wrong see rule number 1.

If it works for you use it if not drop it you're the DM, see rule number 1.

HAGEN take your pill that is sick and wrong on so many levels we're not paying munchkin mash. No DM in his right mind would touch that party...Maybe on a dare but that is it.

Look the perfect party is a myth like Santa Claus. If the game is heavy urban bring a social character if the wilds are calling the party bring a ranger and/or a druid. My wife thinks that I should have an ECL on every character I make because I seem to walk through her games. I ain't walking I'm skilled and lucky its called experience. The perfect party is one that works well together. Everyone does their part and every one survives no one is let behind.
