08-26-03, 12:52 AM I'm playing a game in FR and we're mostly evil party, i'm a neutral halfing that the dm wanted to be a kender(halfing rogue), so i'm basically a tasslehoff type guy. we have a lot of downtime in our games because one of our players is doing something on his own. Its the dms first real game in a very long time, and he is actually fairly good. Trouble is he enjoys, and told us when we asked him to dm (we were bored, needed something to do), it when we do things that get us into situations where he must improv (sp) it. Which he is really good at, but that makes us characters take on a little bit a gm role. maybe its because its late and i'm having a brain fart, but if anyone has any ideas of any daring, hilarious, odd stunts a halfing could pull off, that'd be awesome.
My character is at the guys house, but here are the stats i can remember
level 9 halfing Rogue
Str:12
Dex:21
Con:11
Int:17
Wis:14
Cha:15
I have maxed ranks in all of the theiving skills, along with jump, tumble and a few others.
I use a hoopak which we basically ruled as a quarterstaff with a sling attached.
Thanks everyone in advance

08-26-03, 02:08 AM Hmm... that was a tricky post to read. For a while it wasn't clear what you were after or what it was about. Anyway...

I think that with Dex=21, it's going to be something acrobatic. What are your skill ranks in things like Jump, Tumble and Balance?

Now you could either go along the lines of springing about a lot, or alternatively, it could be daring balancing acts. Especially if another member of the party has vertigo - hmm... that could make for some interesting character interactions.

Of course, there is then always the risk of failure - you make roll poorly, or not appreciate the true peril of walking backwards along the edge of the lava-pit with your eyes closed - but that would be part of the fun.

That is, wherever you are, try to find some kind of interesting or creative item. Get it and try to make use of it later in the game. Also, be sure to do the Legend of Zelda "Do do do doooo!" sound effect when you get them.

The kender-style character in my campaign did this all the time, having found stuff like Robot Parts, Blimp Parts, and Magical Signs. :D
