play as half dragon monk

silver scales on belly/underside

DM being ultimate dick throws lycanthrope at us, nothing we do seems to even dent the fucker.

Grapple-check passes.

Monks allowed to use ANY part of body as weapon.

Hump/pelvic thrust lycanthrope to death with silver scales on crotch.

I'm a terrible storyteller I know, but damned if I don't find a way to WIN.

I played a character with serious body issues once, in a campaign that eventually went into epic levels. Started off as a warforged that wanted to turn into a human (kind of a Pinocchio set up), but ended up hating his flesh-and-blood body for being so easily damaged. He tried to find a way to turn back to a machine, but settled for being turned part rock (a Mineral Warrior, I think). Still unhappy, he trains as a barbarian to get tougher, eventually prestiging into Bear Warrior. So now he's a warforged, turned human, turned rock-moster, that turns into bears at will.

Become an ascetic. Throw away all possessions. Take up the cause of Bahamut. Slay an evil dragon. Be remembered for all time as St. Bear.

My friends and I used to play campaigns with the No Stereotypes rule in effect, e.g. no Dwarven clerics, no dual-wielding min/max rangers, etc.

I'm sorely tempted to start a Dungeon World (shameless plug for my friend's game) campaign with an Only Silly Characters rule.

I had a Human Barbarian who had a lisp, a talking axe that only he could hear and a pug for a pet.

Long term goal was to either find a "Gigantomancer" and turn my pug into a giant riding pug of snarfing death, or buy a team of pugs and ride a chariot pulled by said pugs.

Campaign fell apart, but it's still the best one I've ever played...

As a highly experienced dm I would not only allow but reward such creativity. A game that's all serious is no fun.

I've recently started playing DnD, so a lot of stuff I don't get too easily. But say for example I wanted to create a bear character, and have it ready to go before a game... how would I do that? Take the Bear from the Monster Manual and give it player stats? (I'm playing 3.5ed)

See this is why I've always wanted to try DnD. Can't do this shit in video games.

This will probably get lost but I remember there being one about a half orc and a paladin that was hilarious. Someone put it in the comments when this was posted like 3 months ago. I was never able to find the post again

Prefer 4.0, gets the game rolling faster. But i can honestly say we've never had adventures this awesome.

If the player could come up with a reasonable explanation as to how the bear had an intelligence above a two (animal intelligence) to pull off the entire thing, I would probably allow it.

You are not a bear. You are a silly man who needs a shave, and who wears a fur coat.

For the official playtest of 3e D&D (+Song and Silence), I rolled up an Ogre bard. A friend made a green slime dread pirate.

For some reason, WOTC didn't pay much attention to our playtest reports.

I love RPG logic. Like how in one Shadowrun game, a mage player used suggestion, or persuasion, I forget, it's a spell that simply implants a very powerful suggestion in the mind of the target.

Basically he rolled so well, he managed to "suggest" blindness. His eyes were fine, the target just literally believed he was blind. Kind of weird, especially because I, as the gamemaster, had another character question the target, to nullify the effect, but I failed that roll, so the guy just kept thinking himself blind.

Created my own class, ages ago. I was a summoner only. Which guess what? Could only cast "summon creature" but with its own table. So usually he summons "normal" creatures just a bit tougher than normal. But on a roll of 98,99,100 I summon a dragon, then the age is rolled and then the type. Well got the oldest age class of an amethyst dragon. So then our rules applied of tougher than normal. For whatever reason we fought vs a kingdom and there soldiers, it should had been a who,le campaign to destroy the kingdom and the evil king. Well, guess what happened? One day later there were no one left of the whole kingdom, killed thousands of poor soldiers.

tl;dr: Killed with a summoned amethyst dragon a whole kingdom

Another story:

A friend good a small wingbow, we played after the aDnD 2 whatever (official) critical hits rule table. Ancient dragon spawns, should be an epic fight, first round. Crit with a small wingbow into the brain through the eye.... dead....

LOL the first time I played DnD I made a Spellcasting Elf who was deaf (as I am deaf IRL) and the other players had to just drag me along.

Well we were tracking down some kind of Renegade Villain and we stumbled across one of his camps, so we attacked, I stunned one of the enemies so they could not escape and we won the fight, our Rogue tied up the prisoner and proceeded to torture him for info

As a deaf char I could not hear the questions or the answers to the questions. indeed when I saw the other players scatter away from the prisoner drawing their weapons I shouted 'What Did He Say??' just as a fireball slammed into me and sent me hurtling into the undergrowth

I put my fire out, badly wounded I slugged a healing potion and got up to start fighting, Dm tells me I am heavily concussed and disorientated....

So i did what any respectable spellcaster does, Breaks out the Wand of Fireballs, lurch into the battle and hurl fireballs at anything that moves....

Sadly in my concussed state I could not hit anything, when my Wand finally ran out the group were hiding in a cave and several trolls were smoldering on the ground.....

Also smouldering the the now headless corpse of the prisoner we had taken along with half the tree he was tied to........

the Group took everything off me and left me my spellbook lol

So D&D is awesome and all, but what the hell does this have to do with the other "blew your mind" pictures?

Loxingly · 4 months

Ahh yes the difference between Role playing, and Roll playing.

A good DM crafts a story around the players, a bad DM often ends up in the PCs vs DM mindset.

That reminded me of an old story how to make a flying zeppelin in a fantasy setting from a whale-like undead monster behemot. It was really detailed (with exact spells you need etc.), shame I don't remember the url.
