** spoiler omitted **

I phrased it like that because I actually said that once, and the reactions of everyone listening were too funny to ignore.

The best god of trickery Convince any amount of NPCs that your 3rd level or lower character is a god.

I'm sure it's here somewhere Spend so long in a place looking for a thing that the GM finally breaks character to tell you that it isn't here and you need to move on.

Oddly enough, anyone who's played Might & Magic VI with its infamous Peasant Hats of Doom has probably completed this one. :)

I've never actually done this in a P&P campaign, but several NPCs I've used in Birthright forum games have been one punning reference after another.

They agree with me Attempt to win a rules argument with the GM by showing them a forum thread you started that doesn't have a post by anyone who writes the rules or a proper FAQ entry.

We're going to Mount Doom? Manage to start so many side quests that you forget the main quest.

My group conventionally explores to the left, not right. Naturally, I just assumed that everyone did. :)

A Terminal Case of Newt - the target of your baleful polymorph spell fails both its saving throws, and lives out the rest of its days as a harmless animal

Mmph. Can't, yet, add this one to my list, though I've got a character who is explicitly trying to do exactly that (because he can create any coinage (or other material goods) of 15g value or less - basically 1 platinum, 10 gold, etc - at will as a full-round action, and he's trying to get a large enough collection of various coinage so that he can always imitate coins "from somewhere else" thus always (narrowly) avoiding local mintage and counterfeit laws (despite the fact that they are real coins, most people will look in askance at coins with your face printed on them - especially when you're trying to be discreet - and most countries don't want you printing fake versions of their currency; as he's neither a foreign government, nor a printing press, nor, technically, blacksmithing... loopholes, as far as the eye can see, so long as he doesn't get caught).

3E had a true strike weapon. Cheap, even.

I have no problem with true strike weapons, you just have to remember how the spell works--namely, that it takes an action. Thus a true strike weapon gets one near-certain hit every other round.

John Conner Have a character who, through storyline actions, can only exist because of a temporal loop they instigated to cause their own existence.

Timey-Wimey Ball Cause a temporal paradox.

Skynet Cause a temporal paradox that is only possible because you caused an earlier temporal paradox.

Ultimecia Destroy time.

Final Fantasy 8 Destroy time and then repair it.


(Heck - a true strike weapon that gets a near-certain hit every round doesn't: grant extra damage, bypass DR, help on confirming criticals, or grant the same bonus on a full-attack... where the actual damage comes from.)

Nukes at first level? Take 10 or more d6 fire damage from an explosion your first level character caused.
