Everyone knows devils are lawful. Most assume that their rank is determined by their power, but this isn't entirely true. Part of it depends of seniority, it's just a weak old devil is often slain by an up and coming youngster. What few know is that the devils themselves weren't the first ones to show up in hell. Even fewer know that all of creatures which were there first weren't slain. The sole survivor was infact a human commoner with an amazing gift who was on vacation there. His name is Bill.

Bill, Human Commoner 1
Hit Dice: 1d4 - 3 (1)
Initiative: -3

Special Qualities: Immunity to Inconvient Effects

Feats: Skill Focus (Profession Farmer)
Challenge Rating: No

Immunity to Inconvient Effects: Thanks to a freak magical occurance Bill is immune to any effect which he dubs as inconvient. This fuctions even if the effect is not subject to any form of resistance or immunity. If Bill has been effected by something and later decideds it is inconvient he may dismiss the effect. Bill has in the past been decapated, suffocated, disintegrated, imploded, poisoned, and subject to a number of normally life threatening conditions only to emerge unscathed. Some speculate he died when he was imploded, but then decided death was inconvient and reformed. As of the current count there have been roughly 10^7,518,421 attempts at Bill's life by devils, and all of them have failed.


I noticed the saves were wrong.

Not if that would be inconvenient. :P

How come a shovel only does 1d4?
Shovel=stick with metal on the end.
Quarterstaff=really long stick.
Club=heavy stick.
In other words... 1d6 makes a lot more sense for any type of big or heavy stick. And shovels are both big and heavy, in most cases.

The size of the shovel has never been specified. Some speculate it is a garden shovel. Others say he is just bad at math. The truth of the matter is one of the great mysteries of hell.

you need to type the damage... is it bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing? (for the record, shovels could theoretically do any of those types ;) )

i like it :P

According to Asmodeus no one who has been struck by the shovel has survived to tell the tale so the damage type remains a mystery. Some speculate that Asmodeus slays them personally since those who get into a fight with Bill often discover the he is the true ruler of hell, and it really is bad for Hell's PR if their supreme lord only does 1 point of damage with his best attack.

Shouldn't Bill have two feats?

Heh. It's funny that after all he's been through, that after all that time, Bill hasn't gained even one level! I guess he finds that inconvenient!

...I wonder if Bill thinks that missing on attack rolls is inconveniant. Or rolling to confirm critical hits. Or rolling anything but critical hits for that matter. :evillaugh

Picking the other feat was inconvient so he didn't. But theoretically he could have infinite feats since not having that many would be inconvienent.

Bob could also distroy anything, such as adventurers, oughtright because its existance could be inconveinient

Remember, it's immunity to inconvenient effects, which means it's defensive in nature. He can only prevent or remedy inconveniences placed on him.

Clearly his second "feat" is his Immunity. Sorry you can't take it. You need to be: Bill, Supreme Lord of Hell (or future Supreme Lord of Hell), Commoner 1. There can only be one!

Hah! Now I'm picturing Asmodeus coming over for an important "State" visit as Prime Minister. He accidentally steps on Bill's Begonia patch, and gets a taste of the Royal Shovel.

Remember, it's immunity to inconvenient effects, which means it's defensive in nature. He can only prevent or remedy inconveniences placed on him.

But the existance of anything and everything affects him in atleast some small way so if he deems an adventuring party an inconveinience he could become imune to the fact they exist thus destroying them, or something like that

He never levelled up because he took a look at the rules for levelling up, and decided they were too inconvenient to bother with. ^.^
