chaoticflanagan 10-13-06, 12:32 AM	Howdy all :) For my upcoming epic game, i need 100 ideas of good and bad things that can happen to a player. I figured this would be the best way to get alot of possibilties fast :D here are some examples of what i have right now: ~-6 to attack rolls for 1 day ~Double Critical range on the current weapon you wield ~Near Sighted -10 on all spot checks ~gain +10 energy resistance to all types i need 50 good and 50 bad and to reletively epic proportions, and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Even if i don't use them, then some might spark so ideas :) Thank you for looking
rudie 10-13-06, 01:01 AM	so....will these be given randomly or with some type of weapon? Will the players have to earn them through good roleplaying? I THINK I know where you are going with this, you probably want things like flaws and traits. There are rules for it in unearthed arcana. It has flaws such as near sighted (which is similar to yours except that -10 gives the player a HUGE disadvantage). And trates like hardy which gives you +1 on fort saves but a -1 on reflex.

Yea, i want it to be kinda like a deck of many things. Where the player chooses randomly and presto thats what they get. i didn't think of the whole gain pluses on one save but lose some to another, so thanks for giving me that. I'm gona use this kinda as a trap, so they don't know what they are getting, but its one of those things where you can draw multiple cards if your willing to take the risk of drawing a bad one.

halflingvampire 10-13-06, 12:39 PM	my DM used to run death dungeons, where everything could kill u. One of his ideas was a killer garden...snapdragons, tigerlilies, dandelions, etc.

The scroll case thing is a neat idea as well. Thanks for you suggestions :D
chaoticflanagan 10-13-06, 02:12 PM	my DM used to run death dungeons, where everything could kill u. One of his ideas was a killer garden...snapdragons, tigerlilies, dandelions, etc. i was thinking of doing something like this. like a 100 story tower and on each floor is something else that is extremely deadly and as you progress through the tower, it gets more and more difficult to overcome. But the hard part that i find is trying to make it epic. The Epic handbook doesn't even really touch base with epic traps or anything else that could be potentially deadly to an epic character (besides monsters). my party consists of 4 (sometimes 3) lvl 25 characters (actually lvl 23 gestalt..but the equivalent of lvl 25), each with about 6 million gold worth of items on top of 1 epic wonderous, 1 major wonderous, 1 medium wonderous, and 2 minor wonderous items. So the card idea was one of the few things that i thought of that could be the equivalent of an epic trap on without the possibility of someone "disarming" it because its all based on luck. If you have any suggestions about challenges for epic characters, that would be greatly appreciated as well :D Thanks for you help HalflingVampire
