| Wotc_Mark05-22-06, 05:06 PM | Did you ever notice that just about every map seems to have a barrel or two lurking in a dark corner somewhere. With all of those barrels out there you would think that you would come across something other than wine, water or nothing at all. If you have an idea of what might be in those barrels please post that idea in this thread. And when I have enough I will take my favorites and incorporate them into a javascript random generator for the D&D website. I'll get things started with a few. 1. Empty 2. Water 3. Wine 4. Pickled Chicken Eggs 5. Pickled fish (herring) 6. Finely carved monkey figurines (ivory) I am looking forward to seeing what you folks come up with. MJ :cool: |

Weapons. 12. Gold. 13. Gems, if Baldurs Gate has taught me anything. 14. Keys. Again, unless BG is filled with lies. 15. I saw a cat in a barrel once... |

| Dethrill05-25-06, 02:07 AM | #388- Me #389- A Dryad that can not leave the barrel as it is made from the oak of her tree and this is all thats left of it as the rest was burned out of necessity to keep the farmer who unwittingly cut down the tree as he desperatly needed it for fire wood to keep his family of five from freezing when an evil wizard who worshiped Auril? created an extended dire winter.When the woodcutter realized what he had done he only had enough wood left to make a barrel for her so she would not die.Later Orcs came and destroyed the house and saw mill while the family was at a village fesival.The Orcs thinking the barrel contained food or drinks as a few did that they checked took the barrel.After finding out what they had was more trouble keeping than selling they sold it to a strange fellow who was creating a zoo and thought this would be a great attraction and the Dryad agreed considering her other choice would be to stay with the foul smelling Orcs, at least until they decided there might be enough meat on those bones anyway.On route to the park/zoo the local thieves guild ambushed the wagons and took everything including the wagons leaving the owners at the side of the road a weeks walk to the city.While heading to the docks and warehouses where the guild was hidden a wizard began a spell barrage with a sorcerer and as the horses paniced the barrel fell out of the wagon rolling down into an alley unnoticed except by some children who quickly took the barrel to the spot where you are standing now.The children have been bringing the Dryad water and food, but the Dryad would really like someone to find the strange fellow with the park/zoo idea.The only problem with this is since they were seperated the strange fellow has had an alighnment change for the worse and now has a hidden cult of the House of Karanok which would sacrifice the poor little Dryad but will you find this out before its to late. :eek: #390-As you slowly open the barrel in the darkness of the alley you think youj hear a grunting sound and even thogh you stopped prying the lid off the barrel continues to creak and all of a sudden bursts open and out comes a raging Tarasque who had been traped in suspended animation in the barrel.Now he standing right in front of you in an alley in one of the largest towns in your world.I hope you got enough to pay for the damages as the city guard just seen what happened as they looked into the alley when they heard that loud creaking sound. :weep: |

I've noticed that there are quite a few repeats in the listing as well so it could be closer to 450 or 465 but that can be sorted out later I suppose. And what I'm going to volunteer to do is actually compile the current "1001 contents of a barrel" into a list so everyone can read the up to date and correctly numbered list. Unless someone else has already thought doing this. BIG TIP EVERYONE. BEFORE SUBMITTING THE POST, USE PREVIEW TO BE SURE THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS NOT ALREADY POSTED WHILE YOU WERE TYPING!!! |

Carelessly-discarded documents that prove the king is illigitimate, and thus has no claim to the throne. 493. Wine.

Oh, and a rather nasty spinning-blade trap that appears to have just been set off. :devil: 495. All the world's evils, which promply escape leaving nothing but a single ray of light representing hope at the bottom of the barrel. 496. A gnomish practical joke. When opened, the barrel explodes showering all those nearby with sovreign glue and brightly-coloured feathers (Reflex DC 25 negates). |

| Talmar05-25-06, 10:10 AM | That is true JLaurHughes. I had posted the initial post up through 590 and by the time the post had finished posting those were all the items added. I copied/pasted the new stuff into the list and saved the list and then went back to edit the lists numbers and you had posted in that brief time. I have since added yours as well and the numbering should be correct. That was a pain. |

So after nicking the blade on your favorite dagger by using it to pry open this treasure filled barrel you find a BARREL FULL OF CROW BARS! I did this to my group, I'm such a wicked DM.

Try these: 1102) Marolyn Monroe (sp, start singing Happy Birthday ;) ) 1103) A dire rat who can cast illusion spells making you thing a dragon or something just bit your hand off. 1104) Another spell, affects all who can see the barrel and are not touching it, they believe you were just pulled in and shredded. 1105) A Doppleganger who appears as the barrel opener and tries to convince the party the opener is the fake. 1106) You believe the barrel to be empty (if someone catches the wording, persist for a bit then give them something) 1107) When they open the barrel, scream. They'll want to know what's up. Act as if nothing happened and the barrel was never opened. If they try to open the barrel again, repeat. 1108) Cotton 1109) Cotton (if a player probes they might find a goodie like a sack of gold or a nice knife :) ) 1110) Cotton (if a player probes they might find a Crawling Claw!!! :evillaugh 1111) (Based off the season finale of CSI: Miami) a grenade...with no pin...maybe I should ruBOOM! 1112) A skeleton that shieks when the barrel is opened 1113) The illusion of a bottom with a platnum piece laying there. When a player reaches in for the coin, roll a reflex. Failure means you fall in, slide down a shute and through a trap door on the other side of the room. 1114) 69,105 leaves (for you Zork fans out there ;) ) 1115) Two fairies (DC 25 to convince them to summon a giant moth) 1116) the sun 1117) Barrel has a cork in the side and cannot be openned from the top. Removing the cork will unlease a stream of wine that shoots out. This wine will treat the first surface it encounters the same way it would the floor (so are we standing on the floor or is that way the floor?) 1118) A flash of light. Later the party encounters art that shows the barrel opener opening the barrel (as if the artist was looking out of the barrel) 1119) A statue of a cat. Later the party can make listen checks to glance back and see the statue appear behind them. 1120) fool's gold :devil: 1121) A telephone (rings one round after they open the barrel) 1122) flour (explodes in PC's face) 1123) clowns (and they just keep coming and coming out of a non-magic, non-holding barrel?!) 1124) Character sheets for the party 1125) Opens to a hole in the sky 500 ft above a major city 1126) Some NPC's rump (and does the writing on the barrel that says "fragile this end up" and points at the floor, it doesn't mean anything, right?) 1127) Two barrels. Reach in one, come out the other. Especially fun with two players investigating each barrel seperately 1128) Sign that says "Danger". 1d4 rounds later, it explodes or morphs into a power monster. |

| JLaurHughes05-26-06, 12:09 AM | The very last one...I hope Various scraps and bolts of exotic cloth. |
| AndreCabral05-26-06, 01:49 AM | Not the last one. I'm pretty sure about that :D 1181. An intrincate object from a weird, distant world/plane (a toy, a red car miniature) 1182. Another odd object from a weird, distant world/plane (another toy... you squeeze it and hear a "piiiii, kaaaa, chuuuuuu" 1183. A kobold's toothbrush 1184. A mul's skull (yes, a mul... from Darksun... never heard about that old-scholl, awesome campaingn setting???) 1185. A kobold's ragged, stinky blanket (Make a fortitude save, 18) 1186. A masterpiece ashigaru armor (yes again... from Oriental Adventures... another awesome book, but from d&d 3.0, sadly out-dated) 1187. A bunch of normal books: A long past merchant's wife diary, math book, "common for dummies" written in draconic, cooking lessons, etc. 1188. A smaller barrel. Another smaller barrel, within the previous one. Again, another one... And, after five or six more, a small piece of paper (yes, it has nothing written on it!). 1189. A +1, tiny silver knife... I said a knife, NOT a dagger. Try it with butter and some breadsticks. Damage is 1d2 +1 -1 = 1d2 (remember it's still magic, and you can beat a werewolf with that). 1190. A cursed empty bottle. It is made of glass, gold, silver, with small gemstones. Worth 25 golden pieces! If you open it you're turned into a bug, and automatically gets trapped inside of it. An unaware friend might enter the room after that. He can't be blamed for opening the bottle and killing you... To return to your previous shape someone has to use a wish spell for you. 1191. A bag full of old, rotting grains. 1192. Mighty Cthulhu. :cool: |
| MushingXIII05-26-06, 01:53 AM | A rock that floats, glows and is covered with runes carved by a crazy dwarf so that they have no meaning what so ever :D Mushingxiii |
| olallafur05-26-06, 01:59 AM | 1194. Dr.Who's Tardus before it froze as a police call box. 1195. Temporary container for a genie, while it's lamp is being redecorated. 1196. thousands and thousands of misquitoes. 1197. 7 different colored bear pelts and a bear paw. 1198. A very expensive statue that by some trick of light appears bigger than the barrel... or is it a trick of light... 1199. Some rotted flesh... roll for disease save. 1200. A rubber chicken. 1201. An open umbrella, a black cat, a broken mirror, an open ladder, a salt shaker on it's side next to some spilt salt, and upside down horseshoe, a calendar with Friday the 13th circled. 1202. A rabbits foot, a four leaf clover, a gold carving of the number 7, a horseshoe rightside-up. 1203. A silver carving of the number 3, a ring, a helm, a bracer, a wand, a vial containing a liquid, a pair of gloves. All radiate magic. |

| fw190a805-26-06, 03:51 AM | And what I'm going to volunteer to do is actually compile the current "1001 contents of a barrel" into a list so everyone can read the up to date and correctly numbered list. Unless someone else has already thought doing this. Although WotC_Mark is planning to compile the best of what is here into a javascript feature on the site, I thought it would make a nice table for Tablesmith (http://www.mythosa.net/Utils.html) (a free simple tool that generates random tables of just about anything). You can download the table here (http://tkoa.org/dnd/Tablesmith-1001ThingsInABarrel.zip) and put it into Tablesmith. Because I figured people who would want to use this table for campaign ideas probably want some degree of realism, I left out any outrageous or 'joke' listingss (such as Chuck Norris) and any that didn't really make sense assuming a normal game world, a fantasy setting and a 'normal' size barrel (the Tarrasque was left out because of its size). I have removed duplicates and duplicates on the same theme, so if I came across nails and 1d6 nails, only one survived, but left in both alcohol and beer. This leaves about 450 entries in the table which is large enough for a really interesting roll almost every time you generate a barrel and can't decide what to put in it. There is a lot of scope for improving the table and the way it is presented in Tablesmith but I don't know much about the file format it uses. Most of the new posts contain either duplicates or increasingly farcical entries so I have stopped adding to this table, but anyone is free to add to or modify this table and put it up for download. I hope someone will find this useful! |
| ballonger05-26-06, 04:54 AM | Wow. I don't have time to read all the posts, but here's an alternative: If in Forgotten Realms: x) Smokepowder and a sign on the outside saying "Ashtray". |

| Xa Roth05-26-06, 05:34 AM | 206. Dwarven spirits 207. A stange black, metallic powder (I can't see what it is - bring that torch over here and give me some light ... BOOM!!) 208. Ghosts of Treants past 209. Spice 210. A collection of Dwarven porno - hmmmm girls with sideburns 211. A collection of orcish porno - hmmmm girls with bulging muscles and sideburns. 212. A collection of Gnollish porn - hmmm girls with bulging muscles, big teeth and side burns. 213. etc *sorry about the numbering - I was in a rush and didn't realise the list kept going. My bad. :( |
| Kraleck05-26-06, 05:46 AM | Unsure of the numbering, but here goes nothing... 1229. A 10,000-page book that is a long, drawn out explanation (Concentration DC 10 that increases by 1 on every 1,000th page they have to read, failure induces an insomniatic effect on the reader) of how to kill the BBEG, ending with "...but whatever you do, do not, under any circumstances, use..." and the rest is blank/removed/erased/illegible/ruined by spilled ink. 1230. As previous, but actually there is a secret page with explosive runes. Surprise! The book was written by the BBEG. 1231. Those ****ing useless AOL trial CD's you've thrown out. 1232. A wishing well. Later you wish you hadn't thrown the coins in (the coins become part of a coin golem, made of discarded coins of different value). :D 1233. Evard's Black Tentacles. 1234. A recipe that includes fried cow tongue, fried bacon, and fried flank steak infused with prestidigitation spells. It's called "Lick my greasy ***." 1235. As previous, substituting fried chicken for the fried flank steak. This one is called "Lick my greasy ****." 1236. A spoon inscribed with runes that read "There is no spoon." Upon speaking these words, it turns into a magical greatsword with a magic aura and intelligence as strong as the voice that spoke the words. |

But he mysteriously disappeared and all scrying attempts to find him has failed |
| deafbymetal05-26-06, 08:57 AM | 1264?: WMD's, with a note saying "If found, please send to Donald Rumsfeld, Washington, DC" 1265?: Ted Nugent, who begins playing "Cat Scratch Fever" 1266?: The medieval recipe for crystal meth. Now you can become the Forgotten Realms first drug Kingpin. |
| Ubeor05-26-06, 09:34 AM | (n+1) an Immovable Rod, activated and sovereign-glued to the floor (there is no bottom in this barrel) -- if the Rod is deactivated, the party finds that it was holding up the floor in the room, which was suspended over a bottomless pit. |

| Aneul05-26-06, 08:51 PM | N + 1) A scrying pool, inwhich the characters see the vision of a table, covered in oddly shapped gems and thin tomes entitled Dungeons and Dragons, around which five perfectly normal looking people- dressed in bizzare cloths/slightly puddgy middle aged men- dressed in bizzare cloths/grungy adolescants- dressed in bizzare cloths sit, discussing the behavior of "their characters", who seem to have just discovered a mysterious barrel in some odd fantasy world. Gradualy, it dawns on the characters that the people in the pool are describing exactly what they themselves are doing, even as they do it. Disclaimer- I'm just referencing typical D&D player stereotypes here- not suggesting that they are correct. N +2) A half celestial gnome fighter 20 (archery specialization) with a +5 Merciful Shortbow and an Endless Quiver of Arrows of Love (DC 25 will save or become smitten by the next person you see). |
| FatherNature05-26-06, 09:58 PM | 1527 (?): Inside the barrel is a Doppleganger Bard with Glibness who looks like a party member other than the one who opens the barrel. (there is a hole on the side of the barrel). The Doppleganger claims that the other player is an imposter. yea, you can tell I used this to great effect. XD |

| supernerd22205-26-06, 10:23 PM | 1528. A larger barrel. :confused: 1529. Absolutely nothing. 1530. Air. 1531. Ted the mind flayer giving the thumbs-down. 1532. A key to sigil. 1533. An infinitley deep pool of water with a fantastic treasure at the bottom. :confused: 1534. A poisonous shrub. 1535. A SHRUBBERY! 1536. The magically sustained echo of the mexican hat dance, forevermore to be trapped within the player's ears. 1537. GNOME MINIS! 1538. Pure will, which floods out and makes something happen. Something cool, like a statue coming to life, or the floor dropping 20 feet suddenly. 1539. A contained black hole (that's the last time this party ever opens a barrel!) 1540. Pun-Pun 1541. A collapsable ladder, collapsed, which instantly uncolappses. 1542. CHAINMAIL EQUIVALENCIES FOR EVERYONE! 1543. Nothing... EXCEPT THE TARRASQUE! RUN! 1544. Bad jokes. 1545. A get out of jail card. 1546. A conviniently placed adventure hook. |

| Myree05-26-06, 11:05 PM | Hopefully no repeats, but hard to keep track after so many! (161 was the best so far, but 267 is a close second! And I’m glad I’m not the o nly one who gets 583) Per 207, An endless stream of monkey (maybe flying ones?) Trapped water elemental (thankful or psychotic?) Pickles (maybe picture of a stork on the outside?) Time trap -- on opening characters are thrown back in time to 1d10 rounds earlier (or whatever the DM says that was anyway), most likely returning the characters to the middle of a battle they now have to finish all over again (sick, ain’t I?) Loud polka music (everyone now!) Per 362, Area effect of Tasha’s Hideous Laughter…(and was that a wandering monster I just heard?) Dense fog that fills the area like the spell Obscuring Mist (yeah, I’m pretty sure that was a wandering monster) Dense fog that works like Nightmare spell (ala Batman Begins and Woodstock) Stinking Cloud Invisible water (no seriously, it’ll drive them crazy trying to figure it out!) A Whispering Wind or Magic Mouth message Unlimited water supply Scrying pool Nothing – but chills anything put in it (here’s your ‘fridge you asked for) Nothing – but any liquid put into it is blessed Nothing – but any liquid put into it is spoiled Nothing – but any liquid put into it is purified Continual flame (hey, it gets cold some nights…) An area like Leomund’s Tiny Hut or Secure Shelter Liquid that causes rapid plant growth (almost like a Miracle…) Echoes of any sound near it Echoes of any sound near it, but as if enhanced by a Greater Shout And, of course, probably the idea that got this thread started, but since it’s not mentioned already -- In Realms of The Deep (and reprinted in Best Of The Realms 2), Ed Greenwood’s story “The Place Where Guards Snore At Their Posts” started with oysters but then smuggled in some ensorcelled bullywug attackers – great read! |

| Darkar05-27-06, 02:13 AM | A true treasure barrel has only a single item but very valuable, like a pair of gloves of dextery +3 or a soulstealer dagger, something magic perhaps. But all of this is hided inside the barrel, how?. Easy a double bottom. At sight only found items of less value, like copper coins, regular swords, maybe a couple of potions of lesser healing. when the barrel appears to be empty after pick all the items inside. most adventurers leave the barrel and continues, but what if I pick all items AND search a little more, make a search exhaustive. Then I found that the barrel has a removible bottom that shows the real treasure inside the barrel. this make that the little extra effort and time becomes worthy. :D |

(The dwarf had a nervous breakdown after the third barrel he smashed w/ his hammer was full of Mead) |
| Advisor05-27-06, 03:27 AM | How about an animated or earthen garden gnome Golem I had my PCs chasing after it for months once it got out of the barrel just like the cheasy ones found at walmart or zellers or home depot :rolleyes: |
| Kraleck05-27-06, 05:35 AM | If someone could go through and make another complete, duplicate-free list (preferrably numbered), that would be great. But as the numbers stand now... 1608. A fizzy, greenish yellow elixer that acts as a haste spell for 5 minutes followed by a slow spell of equal duration (without a save). Mountain Dew, anyone? 1609. The queen of all that is unholy: Martha Enlaw (mother-in-law :D ) 1610. A Clockwork Horror. 1611. A mysterious plague spread by the ones who opened the barrel. It makes the emotions of themselves and everyone they meet amplified, driving them to murder (anger), commit suicide (sadness), or become cult-like (happiness). 1612. The lost episodes of every of the players' favorite tv shows that got cancelled...and no way to play them! |
| Shaggy_Shaggs05-27-06, 07:43 AM | n+1: A 10' pole sticking out through the top of the barrel, no bottom, and a small pile of dust and mold. (The barrel is upside-down, a small vampire was trapped under the barrel ages ago and staked, but never finished off. It had decomposed away to almost nothing, but now that the PCs have disturbed it...) |

(Geyser) - Water sprouts into the air as a geyser (and does appropriate damage to whoever is in the way (such as the one who opened it). OR As the Decanter of Endless water but randomly shifts from one mode to another (off, fountain, Stream, Geyser) The force of the water however does not move the barell – it stays where it is. It can however be picked up and carried and while the top is on no water comes out – note however the weight is that of a barell of the size noted that is filled with water to the very top And lets not forget it's effect on the mortar and stone work over time! ·As the Eversmoking Bottle ·A Barell full of feather tokens! (though some maybe cursed feathers…) ·As a hooded lantern – but much bigger! (like a huge spotlight!; = to Hooded Lantern X50?). The light eminates from the opening only All I can think of that I don't think I saw above... |

(6d20+50)x(1d8+5) Drow elves that have abandoned the evil of below and embraced the goodness of the surface, yet kept all the cool imagery of their people and therefore became a truly unique, tragic hero just like Drizz't. Also, they are destined to protect those who misunderstand them... Well they had to go somewhere. 1777. A portal that leads above a hole in the ceiling above the PCs. They stare, dumbfounded, at theirselves from a top-view. 1778. A 12th-Level Cleric's skeleton of the same faith of a paladin or cleric in the party, clutching a note that says; "Don't trust the others!" 1779. Hair from a barber shop floor. Different colours, different lengths, different styles. Just a barrel of hair. 1780. A portal to pandemonium. Nearest party member gets sucked into it by the wind and the barrel's lid gets sucked back on into proper position by said winds. 1781. A note that says, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life drops a gigantic boulder on your head, you just opened this barrel." 1782. What appears to be a healing potion. Alchemy check (DC 35&1/2) reveals it to be corrosive acid. Ouch.

| JLaurHughes05-28-06, 02:08 AM | Wow. Mark you're going to have a lot of work ahead of you when you actually go to edit this, I forsee more than 3000 entries in the future-a lot of them joke, or repeated entries. Also, this thread is actually giving me ideas on what to put into a crate. Darned pesky wooden boxes, mingling with those evil barrels, they're planning something I tell you! And now, to my further contributions: In Alpha-numbering(because I don't want to type anything above three digits). A. various colored rags, most of which are just leftover scraps from the local taylor. B. various colored fabric scraps that spring up 1d6 minutes after the barrel is opened as a Raggamoffyn with a 1d3 chance to capture the nearest local.(See template captured one p.204 MMII). C. a portion of a dragons hoard(rolled seperately, 1/10th going into the barrel....oooh Uristakampthel the larson the old red dragon[29d12 hd] is going to be mad when he finds you). D. 2d12 gorgon breath glands(rare comodity in the wizards market). E. 3d4 Spirit Naga poison glands(once processed: 1d6 inital con 1d6 secondary con, DC 18 Fort save; injury). F. 3d4 Dark Naga poison glands(once processed: target lapses into nightmare haunted dream for 1d8 hours, DC 16 Fort save; injury). G. 3d4 Guardian Naga poison glands(once processed: 1d8 inital con 1d8 secondary con, DC 19 Fort save; injury). H. 3d4 Water Naga poison glands(once processed: 1d6 inital con 1d6 secondary con, DC 17 Fort save; injury). Uh yeah, ideas from a chaotic DM. Edit Note 1: Raggomoffyns are just a pile of living rags, similar in effect to a living spell and enough rags can fit in the average sized barrel to create at least two kinds. Edit Note 2: Naga poison glands are on average approx 4" to 6" in size and preserved in salt for transport. Edit Note 3: I'm not joking with any of this post, and alpha-number A. came from the many lengths of fabric in my granmum's sewing room. |
| Kraleck05-28-06, 08:04 AM | Whatever # we are on 1. A cobra (spitting works well) and a mongoose seperated by a wooden divider in the barrel. When the divider is removed, they fight to the death. The winner becomes a Sorcerer's/Wizard's familiar. W#wao 2. Precious gemstones that alert a Folugub (psionic creature similar to a rust monster that eats gems and crystals) to their scent immediately. Fight it out! |

| Rudi_Schteppen05-28-06, 05:07 PM | # A strange, bluish powder. When inhaled accidentally, due to the presence of a Gust of Wind enchantment on the barrel activated upon opening, the PC's must make a Fortitude save (DC 20) or they will slowly die over the next several days. They must make a Fortitude save every other day, the DC increasing by 5 per day, as the microfine radioactive cesium-132 destroys them on a cellular level. Strange thing is, this actually happened in Brazil when a man took apart an X-ray machine and showed the blue powder to his friends. He killed them all, himself, and his family, as well as contaminated the ground water of the region. Fun stuff. A really annoying thing for a DM to use. |

When inhaled accidentally, due to the presence of a Gust of Wind enchantment on the barrel activated upon opening, the PC's must make a Fortitude save (DC 20) or they will slowly die over the next several days. They must make a Fortitude save every other day, the DC increasing by 5 per day, as the microfine radioactive cesium-132 destroys them on a cellular level. Strange thing is, this actually happened in Brazil when a man took apart an X-ray machine and showed the blue powder to his friends. He killed them all, himself, and his family, as well as contaminated the ground water of the region. Fun stuff. A really annoying thing for a DM to use. |

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! -The Triforce - a rock of spell absorbing: functions as rod of spell absorbing, but absorbs all spells cast in it's general direction and turns into delayed blast fireball (caster level equal to the total number of spell levels absorbed by rock, delay set to 1 round) if it ever absorbs a fireball spell. able to absorb more than 50 spell levels, but can't be used to power spells, just absorb them. |

A pressure plate that opens a secret door when a weight is left upon it. 1819. A folding quarterstaff (must remember to lock segments when using as a weapon) that creates 2 different/opposite spell effects, 1 per end, DM's choice of effects and how to activate them. 1820. A strange metal weapon that conforms to the user (becomes a weapon they have proficiency with, the wielder's choice), stretches and bends (grants 10 ft extra reach), bypasses material based DR (cold iron, silver, etc.), critical threat range and multiplier are increased by 1, and is almost as hard to sunder as adamantine. Unfortunately it deals damage as if it were 2 size categories smaller, goes limp on a Natural 1, cannot be enchanted, and is very heavy to carry (30 lbs of sheathing gear to carry including the weapon). |

What freak is going around putting only 3-6 gold in each barrel!? its like this... Freak: hrmm... I have all this gold and items, infact, really rare ones that would fetch a nice retirement... What should I do? ... I got it!!! I will go around the world putting a little gold and goodies in barrels! Like oversized easter eggs! I'll be like, jonny apple seed! This is sick... plain and simple, sick! Who knows where that gold has been?! Why can't there be a Mother of all Barrels and call it even. Everyone can show up and grab a handful, and the un wasted barrels, which if anyone knows about how barrels were and are made taking a painstaking long time to make, can go to make the worlds largest yee olde flowere garden(umm ...e). |
