03-20-07, 01:42 PM The upcoming ninja turtles movie has got me nostalgic about the series. I think it would be fun to encounter an anthroporphic warthog and rhino pair as some bad guy's henchman.

03-20-07, 02:14 PM I'm partial to Fiendish Dire Penguin Swarms at a table full of archers. Base move 5 ft.

I thought fiendish dire penguins could DD as a spell like ability ?

03-20-07, 10:43 PM Dumpster Dive?
blood_kite
03-21-07, 10:34 AM No DD or DD, but they can slide down icy inclines on their belly and move more than 10 ft. I think our GM just wanted to attack someone before they were killed.
ShinAkuma2
03-21-07, 07:25 PM Everyone knows that fiendish dire penguins have Fling Ally, plus a Supernatural ability that makes them explode when thrown (4d6 per HD, no save).

Whoa dood!

What would I like to encounter in LG?

An NPC accused of murder that actually was guilty of the crime.

03-22-07, 04:14 PM What would I like to encounter in LG?

An NPC accused of murder that actually was guilty of the crime.

How about an NPC who is not only guilty of the crime he is accused of, but plays the whole "I'm innocent, please clear my name" schtick to send the PCs off on series of deadly hijinks (the adventure) before the find out he really did do it...

03-22-07, 04:15 PM Treasure Bunnies.

I don't know why cute, harmless bunnies would drag around large chests of treasure. But I want to meet them.

Which one's the robot?
pneumatik
03-23-07, 09:26 AM A pirate ninja riding a t-rex. :D

No way, dude. That would TPK any table it showed up at.

Sounds great! When will you be done writing this mod?
Japangirl
03-23-07, 03:44 PM I always am leery of mods like that. The PCs go off, cast a scrying spell/Commune spell, and come back and say ZOMG YOU DID IT YOU FREAKING EVIL BASTARD! And then mod's over 10 minutes after it started.

Of course, in situations like that you could always complete the mission knowing your patron did the deed hoping that you find out why he did it later on.

03-23-07, 04:35 PM An NPC gnome that wasn't evil.

A heroic gnome patron who was there expressly to help and assist the party without having a hidden agenda, being secretly of the fiendish template, having tons of illusions that aren't supposed to be lethal and yet somehow are, or lurking the background chuckling while the party languishes in a horrible death trap acting like it is all a simple joke.

That aside I would really like to encounter POPs access, my main wizard will be hitting 7th soon. :(

03-24-07, 04:10 PM A single orc, in a 10 x 10 room, no furniture, with a tresure chest, and if you cut him open you get the +1 dagger.

03-27-07, 11:01 PM I wrote an interactive at one con organizer's request that included party vs. party combat in a tournament setting. If it was done properly, I think that would be interesting for me to see as a player.

03-27-07, 11:06 PM Core access to duct tape.

Core access to Henchmen. (or are they called porters now?)
cycloptic_squirrel
03-28-07, 01:17 AM Core access to Henchmen. (or are they called porters now?)

OK, this desire really only comes in strongly if yours desire is granted, but I'd like access to the "Kill the Henchman" card. If I saw access I'd probably pick up two, just in case.

:fight!:

Because they are actually polymorphed Copper Dragons that got stuck in their preferred cute furry critter form when the errata came thru while they were still polymorphed ?

The nastiest monsters out there are always another PC.
LachlarlanIII
03-28-07, 02:29 PM A single orc, in a 10 x 10 room, no furniture, with a tresure chest, and if you cut him open you get the +1 dagger.

Is he holding the treasure chest?

If he is I fireball him and eat the freshly baked pie in the corner. :D

Was that for a Shield Lands con? If so, I had a great time with that mod.
Lomiat
03-28-07, 06:03 PM Was that for a Shield Lands con? If so, I had a great time with that mod.

Yeah, it was Gary Sarver's Con on the River in Winona. I didn't hear much about the players' take on the event, and I wasn't able to make it to the con to judge, so feel free to PM me with a review.

I've got a feeling that the party vs. party stuff impressed upon everyone the need for: 1) high initiative, 2) strong tactics, and 3) good dice-rolling luck. Otherwise, I doubt that the uber-builds really had that much of an edge on the average builds. But I could be wrong.
