03-28-06, 08:35 PM 9: Make them meet level 5 Experts named Lennie and George who specialize in farmwork.

Make Lennie shoot George because he killed the wife of the Farmer's son. Make them explain, in 500 words or more, the direct moral connotation elicited by this exchange.

This is also how to get an English paper on Of Mice and Men without the work.

03-28-06, 08:35 PM 10. Do something so incredibly stupid that the DM drops your intelligence to better match your roleplay. Example? A half-orc barbarian was acting as a rope anchor for the bard as he scaled the wall across a gap. After the bard was mostly finished the rest of the party swings across the 200ft long gap on the pitoned rope. The Barbarian wanted to join and began running across the wall tearing pitons out. The bard, not wanting to die, cut his rope and let the barbarian fall to his near-death. We penalized him by 2 Int points the rest of the campaign.

11. Step-by-step for retarding a great wyrm dragon
Step one- Become ethereal
Step two- Move inside head
Step three- Become Corpereal
Step four- Trampoline Time!
Funny thing is, that if the dragon does not detect you, it would actually work.

03-28-06, 08:42 PM To steal your idea:

12: Polymorph/Wildshape (when able) into something VERY tiny, such as a flea.

Enter inner ear. Dispel Polymorph or change back.

A bard.
Skill Focus (Perform: Rap)
Skill Focus (Profession: Profanity)
Skill Focus (Knowledge: Or Lack Thereof)

If should get a synergy between those three skill checks, and they get a bonus +1 to all those checks for each point of int the bard lacks (ie. start at 10 and work backwards ;)).

A bard like that is pretty well ensured to diminish the intelligence of everyone they encounter.

03-28-06, 10:49 PM 22: Shoot their PC, through the neck, with an arrow, instakilling them instantly. I swear this DM trick can do anything!
23: This one has a set up. Make sure you convince your PC's to map dungeons themself. Got that? Good. Now...make a dungeon where the rooms move..or they are randomly teleported without their knowledge. Have fun.
24: Allow CO creations in your game..but..don't tell the PC's...let them instead meet Pun Pun as he's just hitting level 5..mwaa ha ha ha ha haaa.
25: Redneck tree's...just redneck tree's..and lots of them, infact a forest of them (litterally) :evillaugh:.
26: Unusual cursed and non cursed items. Plungers of decapitation...lances of decrapitation. Seven leak boots. Cursed greaves of mooning. Cursed Hat of tipping well (you automatically get a +10 on all diplomacy checks...as long as you tip your hat..oh might I mention part of the cursed bit is that you can't move it enough to tip?).
27: Kender..lots of Kender...a whole band of them..that like the PC's..and follow them around. who are very interested in the PC's items.
28: For your more roleplaying inclined character..and those who play em well. Have your paladin meet a paladin of Toastytot..who somehow still registers as good..have fun.
29: Did I mention arrows through the neck? yes? Good....you need em, lots of them, constatly, every angle, every space...just make sure they get through.
