Ran another installment of Savage Tide for my D&D group today. They're in the middle of "Serpents of Scuttlecove," and the party's barbarian/druid who has the Destructive Rage feat single handedly tore down and knocked over the Birdcage, taking out a city block in the process and having to spend a Hero Card to avoid being crushed by the collapsing building (which wouldn't have killed her, but it WOULD have broken her gargoyle crown).
It was terribly amusing.

Nice.

That sounds cool. I'm running this as well pretty soon. Out of curiousity was the player a little surprised by HOW effective that was? I've noticed that kind of reaction in my players as their characters advance.

Not really... he IS playing a frenzied berserker with Destructive Rage, after all... he's pretty good at breaking things up, and after an entire combat inside the Birdcage and my descriptions of how rickety the place looked, he was pretty pumped to take the place down. The other players in the group, though, were a bit more surprised that one of their own tried to knock down a building they were still in...

Now THAT is terribly amusing O:)
In a high school a couple of my friends and I tried to push down a rickety old barn one night. It's much harder to do than you might think. Of course none of us had levels in frenzied berserker- maybe a couple of levels of "bored delinquent" with the small town brat regional feat.
I started SoS on Sunday with my group. Our party conjurer summoned a pair of fiendish rhinos to try to batter down the inside doors, but the things were having a little trouble getting the momentum they needed to take a good charge at them. In the end our party gish teleported in, but the harpies were on alert from all the clatter caused by the rhinos. He was immediately subjected to three dirge songs and failed a save. He ended up become confused. The rhinos got through soon after along with the rest of the party. The dwarf was smart and had some silencing magic at hand, but it was too late the rhinos had been subjected to the songs as well. Both of them went crazy, as well as our loremaster. One of rhions charged our mystic theurge and nearly put her through the wall. The other one fled the building and started rampaging through the streets. The loremaster started wailing on our party members with his staff (but with no real effect). It turned out to be an ammusing fight from my point of view, though the gish player was rather frustrated, since it was about the third time his character had gone nuts in as many game sessions (Khala got him a with his in our last session gaze attack, and an insanity spell the session before that), but I didn't feel too sorry for him. He should have known that teleporting into a den full of harpies would be a bad idea.

My first few levels look the same way.
While in high school a friend and I once succeeded in collapsing the roof of an abandoned trailer by running through with aluminum bats and tearing out all the weight bearing walls. It was an all day process but it can be done if you know what needs to be taken out. That and the building didn't actually collapse until there was a big wind storm a few days later...
Again, neither of us had any levels in "frenzied berserker" though we both were shooting for the "savant of delinquency" prestige class. We never did make it that far because we both started taking levels in "layabout stoner".
