Bar Fight!


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion

Paizo Employee Chief Technical Officer

Ok. So, Dungeon 150 has an article called "Bar Fight!," by one "James Lafond Sutter," which purports to be a bunch of "good" reasons why a "bar fight" might "break out."

I say, why does one need a reason to start a bar fight?

Further, if one does have a reason, does it even really count as a bar fight?

And yet still even more further, what the heck kind of name is "Lafond" anyway?

I demand answers, or I'll start chucking bottles.

101 Reasons for bar fights

101 REASONS FOR A BAR FIGHT

19. "Why yes! I AM yet another morally ambiguous, two sword wielding drow? Why do you ask?"

that'd be enough to make me snap...in a vicious brutal way

20. "Trust me, your (mother/daughter/sister/cousin/wife/girlfriend) would look totally hot in this chainmail bikini."

21. "so there's 100% no chance this Tome on Aberrations is cursed, eh? and only 20gp? what a deal!"

22. "That's right bartender. Dispite the fact that I am currently surrounded by extremely masculine Dwarvin and Half-Orc sordiers drinking high quantities of imparing fluids, I would like a glass of milk...why's everyone looking at me? uh-oh..."

That one was actuallyused, word for word, and did spark a bar fight in a game I ran. If anyone was curious, the Warforged bartender drove the Elven Bard through a table, not over it, and then through the wall next to the door...ouch!


Lessee here... *summons three fiendish skunks*

NOW we got a bar fight!

20. Some people just need their ass kicked in.


22. Drunken priests begin "baptizing" everyone in the bar with their leftover grog.
23. An overzealous Paladin attempts to close the doors to this "den of iniquity."
24. Party of Dwarven Battleragers mistaken for males.

Because it's wise.


25. Does anyone have some sheep that my were-wolf friend here can eat?

25. It's good aerobic exercise.


26. Because there is nothing, and I mean nothing, like showing a inn full of drunk commoners what it really means to be an adventurer.

27. Because bashing someone over the head with a bar stool is a perfectly good alternative for roleplaying.


28. Because after killing every humanoid in the last dungeon down to the woman and child, and after stealing all their gold pieces, you can afford to pay any bills and bail incurred during the bar melee.

29. Because when the bard stands up, there's always a natural 1 on that perform check.

Sooo...34. "What do you mean you're out of stools? Make the halflings share a seat, they're only half a person anyway!"
35. "Light the fireplace, it smells like wet human in here."
36. Brand new bar?!? Woooooo!

37. Paugh!!! This beer isn't fit to slop pigs with! Bring me something else, you cockeyed ninny!

45. Because someone skipped number 43.

::glance, d20 + 4 = 10! Fail!:: Argh! Me eyes!

Liberty's Edge

46) some guy tries the scam about peeing in the shotglass for real. The bartender doesn't "just laugh and take his 20 g.p."
And the guy he bet the 50 g.p. with sneaks away while the 1/2 orc bouncers unlimber their spiked clubs to "get medieval on him."

47. Because someone was selling Pathfinder #1 on the blackmarket, in the bar, before August 29th, and the sales manager of the big purple golem caught wind of it.

51. A half-orc barbarian loudly announces "I've been responsible for more half-elves than any nancy-boy bard! It's easy: you take an elf, give him one solid whack with your axe, and voila! Half-elf! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Scarab Sages RPG Superstar 2011 Top 32

52. You walk over and begin urinating on the thuggish looking half-orc sitting at the bar. When he realizes what you're doing, you apologize and explain that since he smelled like an outhouse anyway, you just got a little confused.
