orcslayer 07-01-04, 01:49 PM	1. When ever they enter a dungeon they split up. 2. When ever they are captured and interrogated they answer every question with your momma. 3. The wizard takes on orcs with only his quarter staff.
jnrhayz 07-01-04, 02:08 PM	4. They leave a door just because it's locked and the thief can't pick the lock. 5. They survey the evil, erie looking castle that the bandits they are looking for are hiding at in the middle of the day and then make camp next to the castle. 6. They believe everything evil creatures tell them.
Basic_Set 07-01-04, 02:23 PM	7. When they see one large powerful group of baddies fighting another large powerful group of baddies, and the PCs themselves are severely wounded and depleted, they then proceed to leave their unnoticed position to join the fray.
PSchirf 07-01-04, 02:43 PM	8. They're overly ambitious when it comes to predicting how many people will answer a board post.
Lord Crimson 07-01-04, 03:06 PM	9. They're a paladin.
MetalGemini 07-01-04, 03:12 PM	10. They walk through the center of the "large completely empty room" and want to check for traps on the other side. 11. They hold a torch up to the mass of spider webs that covers the walls and ceiling and floor.
Tek 07-01-04, 03:14 PM	12. They think that the other PC's will always jump in to save them from a fight they can't handle.
nefestous 07-01-04, 05:33 PM	Originally posted by Lord Crimson 9. They're a paladin. Nothing wrong with paladins. They're harder to play than most characters. Most people can't play them properly or are limited in thier vision. Favorite: Scythe wielding Orc paladin of WeeJass. Perfectly viable. 13. they actually trust you. [I'm an evil DM]
Lord Crimson 07-01-04, 05:44 PM	Originally posted by nefestous Most people can't play them properly or are limited in thier vision. That was sort of the point of my slightly off-key attempt at humor.

Tusz 07-01-04, 06:44 PM	Originally posted by Tek 12. They think that the other PC's will always jump in to save them from a fight they can't handle. 12a. They assume that if there's a fight, they can handle it.
Sphyre 07-01-04, 07:02 PM	16. They ask for something that's been published by WoTC and say it's core, but it's not from the 3 core books.

The number one way to tell if a DM is a moron- he thinks he has only morons for players. This is a very rude thread. I hope you never get any good players!:rolleyes:
Ironfisted Tyrant 07-01-04, 08:23 PM	17) The PC fails to realize the DM asking "Are you sure you wanna do that?" twice probably means doing the action in question is hazardous to one's health. 18) "Bodak, you say? Forget the rest of the party! Charge!" 19) Members of the group kill a few dozen monks without a second thought, rob a jewelry store, abduct a member of a powerful nation's ruling council, and burn down a nobleman's house (among other crimes)... and then proceed to complain about how unfair the DM is when guards come their way with a warrant for their arrest while they're in the capitol city. 20) Player makes a militantly faithless character in the Forgotten Realms, whines about how unfair the DM is when the PC dies... And then proceeds to make his next character faithless as well.
talast 07-01-04, 09:51 PM	21. after the rest of the group formed a defensive position, the lone player decided to run 300 ft away and charged alone against size huge gargoyle with bare hands. (no a monk or monk like class) 22. after getting shot full of arrows and borderline dying, moves 60 ft away from the cleric and still stay on top of the horse without any cover to get shot up by arrows again...
ridiculous 07-01-04, 10:25 PM	23. He grapples an anaconda... in the water... level 1... (true story) 24. The whole party brought torches, but nobody has something to light em up... (it happens tu the best of us...)
Dravenous 07-01-04, 10:56 PM	25. When creating characters for a 1st level campaign they start looking through the Monster Manual. 26. Knowing there is a Paladin in the party they create an evil character.

ArchmageOmega 07-02-04, 06:33 AM	Yall two got nothing on danielinthewolvesden for inapropriate posts. Seriously, who ever said that all of the players are morons, but usually there's at least someone who acts like one sometimes. Anyway. 28) (In Ravenloft) One of the players wants to play a half-elf sorcerer that wears a black, hooded robe and carries a scythe. 29) (Same campaign) They have to find 13, 300-year-old skeletons scattered all over town, so after hearing the museum has skeletons, seeing that only two come from that time period, and only two others are even close, two of the characters decide to steal all seven. When six of them turn out to not be the right ones, one of them dumps the rest down a chimeny.
Revelation 07-02-04, 06:53 AM	I'm with Danielinthewolvesden, it seems that whilst many of these might seem funny, they can be pretty insulting, and seem to often be the result of PC's not doing whatever it is the DM intended. If the PC's are behaving like morons, then there's some chance that they feel the DM is encouraging it. Back to how to tell your PC's are morons: - 30. The DM allows people to play in his game, and then thinks that they're morons for playing his campaign. EDIT: My mistake that post should be on the Players Board for 1001 reasons the DM is a moron.
Arcanum_and_Obscura 07-02-04, 06:58 AM	31. Their classes are Minmax, Munchkin, and Broken.
Hathorym 07-02-04, 09:01 AM	32. They taunt the DM with comments like, "Well, she can't have a third fireball!" or "I know there's not a body, but there's no way he survived that explosion." 33. They assume the DM will never let them die, and when he does, they assume the DM will bring them back.
Amaron Blackthorn 07-02-04, 01:06 PM	34. The same player dies 10 times in a campaign trying to be everyone's hero. Its sad. Well at least you can say much for perserverance. Chuga Chuga Choo Choo!
alexanderwales 07-02-04, 03:00 PM	35. A group of four Level 3 adventurers is given the option of bargaining for something that they need, or going into the Underdark and stealing it from the f---ing drow. None of them are minmaxed or munchkinized at all, but they decide that they'll just waltz into Menzoberranzan, take the artifact, and walk out. F---ing morons almost get a f---ing TPK, before even running into the f---ing drow. These are experienced players too - I've been playing with them for three years. Morons.
Longhorn Hammer 07-02-04, 03:15 PM	36. While looking into a cavern where a brown bear is sleeping and deciding whether to sneak past the bear or attack it while sleeping, they, instead, send the rogue to rifle through a ripped sack of copper coins to see if there is anything more valuable. (Bear wakes up and sorcerer gets batted across the room.)

I hope you never get any good players!:rolleyes: Somebody call the wambulance! Face it; some players ARE dumb. Just look in the "What's a player to do?" forum. There's plenty of people complaining about fellow players who couldn't RP to save their life. You don't like the thread, don't post.
Moonstonedragon 07-02-04, 07:31 PM	37. When a group of miners get attacked by monsters and hire Pcs, and they tell the PCs NO FIRE, theres a sign at enterance that says NO FIRE, and when they enter the cave and it starts to get dark and they they say, "I light a torch", you warn them "Its fire", and they reply "No its a torch"
danielinthewolvesden 07-02-04, 07:41 PM	There are plenty of ways to discuss playesr who make odd or poor roleplaying decisions without calling them "moron". In fact- "morons" would normally be incapable of playing D&D or posting to this board. It is a very rude term (now, it used to have a specific medical meaning), and should not be bandied about casually. I have done volunteer work with real morons ("mentally handicapped" is the new PC term.) They are people too, even if not very bright. They try so very hard. Don't use a term that applies to these special people to call names of some players who just plain made silly decisions.
MysterYvil 07-02-04, 07:49 PM	38. PCs that blame their adolescent behavior (stealing from other PCs, being disruptive, refusing to go along with the other PCs) on their "character concept" and/or alignment. Such behavior is most often due to the passive-aggressive acting out on the part of the player that created the PC.

Amaron Blackthorn 07-03-04, 02:37 PM	Just the other day we were playing Dwellers of the Forbidden City and an enemy had cast entangle getting most of the party stuck in it. Those of us who were not caught did what we could except for one sorcerer who ran into the entanglement asking "What's going on here." and got stuck. :( :)
Arcuna 07-03-04, 02:50 PM	42) When one of them decides to jump off a bridge to see how deep the pit below him is. (Yes, that almost happened to our fighter.)
Amaron Blackthorn 07-03-04, 03:02 PM	Some people is just plain and simply iggnunt!
Ssussunriyh 07-03-04, 05:14 PM	43. They ask questions like "Can I dual-wield two weapons in one hand?"
IDarkShadow 07-03-04, 11:07 PM	44. They pee into on-comming wind,and claim it to be "Comical Relief" - Then get angry when one of the other party members (that got peed on from the repercussions) puts an arrow in his back. 45. Simply, they fight with each other (in an attempt to kill) 46. They think they can "kick the halfling like a football across the room" when the halfling is 3' 2" and about 50 lbs. with all the gear he is wearing. 47. They attack commoners that are talking to the city guards 48. They think they can jump over a pit 20 ft. across without a running start.
A R Dragon 07-04-04, 02:48 PM	49) They are in a swamp, chasing/being chased by a wizard a couple levels higher than them riding a nightmare. The cleric, while chasing the wizard, fails a wilderness lore check and accidentally sprints out into the center of a large patch of quicksand. He begins drowning. The other players (metagaming) all come rushing to his aid from various locations in the swamp...and all run out to the cleric. They all got stuck and I nearly had a TPK. :rolleyes:
TalinXT 07-05-04, 12:01 AM	50) The wizard casts Greater invisibilty followed by a spell that is described as being "flashy and brilliant with a large and bright display and a huge boom." 51) One pc chases the bandits we routed all the way to the camp and attempts to take it on all by himself after the others pc stopped trying to chase him a long time ago. I love these people who know a thread is offensive and know that all the people who post in it are complete strangers yet go out of their way to tell them their life story in an attempt to curb their fun. to all of you people. (you know to whom i refer) I say NUTS to you for clicking on a thread you knew was offensive and reading it THAT is perhaps a greater sign of the subject for which this thread speaks then any reasons given thus far.

The other players (metagaming) all come rushing to his aid from various locations in the swamp...and all run out to the cleric. They all got stuck and I nearly had a TPK. :rolleyes: Actually, quicksand is caused by the upwards flow of water within the sand. The force resulting from this flow is so great that the individual grains of sand are pushed apart from one another. It is this separation that leaves the ground unable to support an object on its surface. However, it is still water- contratry to hollywood, you will "float" in quicksand. Unless, of course, you are weighed down enough to sink in water.... Anyway, back at the ranch... 52. Casts a spell with a 40 ft. radius at the center of a 20 ft. clearing. The party is standing at the edge of said clearing. (Surprised noone did this before me) 53. When told there is nothing there to attack, they announce "I attack the darkness!!"
Low-key Locksmith 07-05-04, 03:33 AM	53. When told there is nothing there to attack, they announce "I attack the darkness!!" so ummmmm how did the players do against the darkness?:D

gleep 07-05-04, 07:58 PM	56: Evil cleric walks up to the good ranger that he has geased into helping him. Said ranger is standing at the edge of a large hole and looking down into the darkness. Cleric: "So, what's in the hole?" Ranger pushes him in. 57: Halfling wizard sees a band of goblins aproaching. Rather than running away, he waits to see what they want. They draw their weapons. He stands still. They surround him. He stands there. They take all his money, equipment, and clothing. He figures they'll let him go. Goblins decide to eat him. He casts fireball, centered on himself. Nukes all the goblins, but he's now at -1 hp.... 58: They start a fight in an inn's tap room. The two barmaids proceed to beat the crap out of them with mops. 59: They decide to spend the night in the same inn. 60: And, my favorite, they can't tell the difference between Player Character (often abbreviated as PC) and Player. :D --gleep
A R Dragon 07-05-04, 08:31 PM	Unless, of course, you are weighed down enough to sink in water.... Fullplate will do that...:smirk: Anyway, I just remembered another. It happened to my freind while he was DMing a different group. 61) Player:I pick the lock. DM: You hear a click. Player: I pick it again. And one from a group where I was a PC... 62) We go through a door, and as the rogue pushes it open (as he touches the door), he has to save vs. disintegrate. He enters the room and then says "I close the door behind me." He saved again. The cleric opened it and had to save. The rest of the party walked in, and then they shut the door again, still just by grabbing the handle. The room was a dead end, and they had to open it again, still without even using a pole. No-one died, but a few people sure deserved to.
beastmaster72 07-05-04, 09:49 PM	63.They get whupped by a dread guard with a +2 sword of great cleaving and, after beating the guard, decide to snap the sword in half while the fighter is using a plain old longsword. 64.They buy a horse, not to ride, but to be their friend. BTW...whats a TPK?
Stardrake 07-05-04, 10:15 PM	BTW...whats a TPK? Total Party Kill. All gone, all gone! Bad enough when done by a monster/BBEG--downright embarassing when done by quicksand....
Dauntless 07-05-04, 10:41 PM	64.) Carrying an invisible dead body across a guarded bridge to have the person rezzed on the other side. The guards make fun of how he is walking funny, and the player says "I'm carrying a body. Its invisible, come touch it."
Vega_Engi 07-06-04, 09:05 AM	65. They met a group of drow and agreed with them, that they put 1 fighter from each group for a noble fight. If the PCs' fighter wins PCs may pass. PCs gathered into circle, deciding, how to buff the fighter for this battle and ... immediately recieved a fireball. They said I cheated them. 66. The PCs captured duegar, who had stolen a valuable item from them several days earlier. The duergar said it had no item with him, thus they agreed to release the duergar for that item and 3000 gp ransom. They decended into underdark after the duergar to take the ransom from the clan's hoard... My PCs are good people don't think bad about them.
Amaron Blackthorn 07-06-04, 11:52 AM	Some people's kids!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Rufusisagodtoupeople 07-06-04, 12:53 PM	67. They blame the fact that thier level 1 character cant beat a Dragon on Bad charecter Creation rolls. 68. They buy a house just to Burn it.

Starboy36 07-07-04, 08:56 AM	The whole party brought torches, but nobody has something to light em up... (it happens tu the best of us...) When a group of miners get attacked by monsters and hire Pcs, and they tell the PCs NO FIRE, theres a sign at enterance that says NO FIRE, and when they enter the cave and it starts to get dark and they they say, "I light a torch", you warn them "Its fire", and they reply "No its a torch" When one of them decides to jump off a bridge to see how deep the pit below him is.

Said ranger is standing at the edge of a large hole and looking down into the darkness. Cleric: "So, what's in the hole?" Ranger pushes him in. *LMAO* I have got to give props for these...definitely my favorites. The first one (3 torches and no tinderbox) actually happened with my group once. That was certainly a lot of fun as they were stuck on an island (to check out a subterranean crypt) and their ride wouldn't be back for almost a week. I kept it in play. They actually had this argument (paraphrasing from memory): Bob: I thought you picked up the tinderbox! Ken: I didn't even get a torch! Hope picked one up for me while I was at the temple. Hope: Well I figured that Bob picked one up as he went to the store first. Bob: Ok, wait, I got an idea. Ken, do you have a burning hands memorized? Ken (obviously a mage): All I have is a couple magic missles, a charm, and a few chromatic orbs. I have a fireball though. What the party ended up doing (and I allowed it just because it was so funny) was that Ken cast a fireball, while Bob held the torch at arm's legth at the edge of the AoE. Hope (who was a cleric), had cast a protection from fire spell on him so he wouldn't get toasted. They never forgot a tinderbox again. :D It definitely one of the most hilarious gaming moments we ever had.

Shane the Elven Summoner 07-07-04, 03:25 PM	74. When the wizard in the gruop decides to burn down the plague infested town when he has the anitidote. 75.

DeWayne 07-08-04, 01:22 AM	78) They send the ROGUE back to town to cash in the jewels they got in the last dungeon. 79) They decide to explore another dungeon before the rogue gets back. 80) After getting their asses handed to them by one group of monsters, they decide to go back to the same room and try again. (Same result) 81) After finally defeating the monsters they decide not to go the rest on the way down the hall to see what these guys were guarding (the treasure vault). 82) When they found a tunnel that was described as "Dark, so dark that not even you (nodding to the player of the dwarf) can see anything" they decide to explore it - and walk into a bunch of traps and an ambush just as they step out of the darkness and into a brightly lit room. Sadly, all of this was in one dungeon.

Aeolus91 07-12-04, 11:36 AM	90. The players travel for months to see the mighty sorceror in his tower on the plains of the Deep Wilds for a cure to the curse that has affected the party druid from a cursed ruby embedded into a mace (pauses for air), push on the huge stone double doors for a second, then decide that opening it is impossible and begin the journey back home. 91. While creating their characters, three out of the four players want to be mind flayers. The other wants to have a pet great wyrm red dragon. 92. The mind flayer wannabes have no concept of fairness or ECL, and when told that they will be unfairly advantaged, tell the DM that was the whole point. The dragon guy dies at least fifty or sixty times on a three day long series of quests to get a dragon. 93. After a few months of playing, the characters are still unsure of what BAB, PrC, GP, SP, CP, PP, ETC; stand for, and when told that they found a sack with 7 PP, they start talking about the Pokemon attack system. (In case you've never played, each attack uses a Power Point, hence, PP) 94. The players hold up the local lord in the middle of his castle, surrounded by guards, at level 1, and demand tribute. 95. The players wonder why they are being killed by the guards. 96. They get ticked off when you don't revive them after about seven "The gods have pity on your poor, poor stupid soul"s

TyrantOfPants 07-15-04, 11:05 AM	103. They try to pole vault the 80 ft chasm, with a 10 ft pole...
Amaron Blackthorn 07-15-04, 12:26 PM	a gold dragon pc transforming into his dragon form to scare away kobolds and ends up scaring away half his party.
Savras 07-15-04, 01:00 PM	Originally posted by Vega_Engi 65. They met a group of drow and agreed with them, that they put 1 fighter from each group for a noble fight. If the PCs' fighter wins PCs may pass. PCs gathered into circle, deciding, how to buff the fighter for this battle and ... immediately recieved a fireball. They said I cheated them. That is just beautiful. Savras
Amaron Blackthorn 07-15-04, 01:06 PM	Originally posted by Savras That is just beautiful. Savras Ah the wonders of working with drow! They are lucky that they werent turned into slaves or something worse, sacrifced to Lolth.
LunarCaustic 07-15-04, 05:38 PM	104) they sell an item that the DM said " are you SURE you want to sell that?" 105) they complain about a item they are given the option to buy when the DM goes " Wow that is a really nice ability!" 106) they tell the DM to "roll faster!" and then count out numbers when he is adding up results of damage
Thanqol 07-16-04, 05:53 AM	107: They tell the DM the dungeon is "Too easy and an idiot could have designed harder monsters then that." 108: They carry ALL of their gold with them when they visit the Rouges quarter. 109: They tell you they can't ALL be killed at the same time.
Amaron Blackthorn 07-16-04, 12:24 PM	110.) Selling a +1 Mace for 6 gold pieces. They were like 4th level and never detected magic. One party member got killed fighting skeletons and had the mace with him the whole time and never changed it for the sword he was utilizing.
Vulcan 07-20-04, 02:17 AM	111)The party enters a dark underground outpost and when the druid attempts to move silently and fails making a slight noise, the party's wizard yells in game "good job dumbass" 112)The party's fighter and wizard converse in loud voices as to what to do about the loud breathing they hear on the other side of the door while the rest of the party unknowingly searches the rest of the room for traps and loot on two bodies propped up against a pillar. 113)The party's half-orc fighter charges and slams into the same door as stated above, a reinforced steel door and fails falling to the ground, then the halfling wizard uses the fighter's body as a trampoline in an attempt to add to his jump as he too tries to "force" the door open. 114)The halfling wizard is always first through the door and is always on the front line. 115)While walking next to two characters incased in clanking metal armor, the parties ranger tries to move silently. 116)The party wonders why the party's rogue is always shaking her head. 117)The party wonders why I (the DM) asks continuously "are you SURE you want to DO that?" I always feel sorry for the rogue whenever we play.
Tevish Szat 07-20-04, 02:49 AM	Two of the three level seven characters get dropped to -hp by a lesser flame snake... which did not attack first... and the druid attacked without trying to speak to (could have avoided the encounter. the concious character, further, does not decide to try healing the others until the flame snake is defeated. Not really morons, but this was their dumbest moment. surprisingly, no one died.
Thanqol 07-20-04, 03:16 AM	113: They are being hunted by evil knights while criticaly injured. They see a small cave in the side of the cliff. The party's reaction was to block off the cave with a boulder so any monsters in there would be trapped. The cave was the only way to escape the evil knights... 114: They come across an old witch which orders to hide them from the evil knights in exchange for 100gp each. The party huddle for a moment, then deside to kill the witch, under the assumption that she gets a lot of gold from a lot of travelers, so she must be rich, and good lootin. 115: When the evil knights catch up with them and hack down their 10 hp bodies, they say "But you didnt give us anywhere to hide!" :behold:
Vash Of Lost July 07-20-04, 07:37 AM	40. They never, ever, check for traps, even when you call it "THE HALL OF TRAPS" 41. They try to walk off every type of poison, only to discover they lost stats
MasterRookie 03-02-05, 10:21 PM	The number one way to tell if a DM is a moron- he thinks he has only morons for players. This is a very rude thread. I hope you never get any good players!:rolleyes: Shut up these things are hella funny. Besides being stupid could be a compliment for playing your character. After all if you have a low intelegence you get to do stupid things.
MasterRookie 03-02-05, 10:33 PM	These are all stupid things I've done playing a sorceror. 72. using my feat to get exotic weapon training for a spiked chain 73. Killing a fighter. Then putting on all his armor taking his bastard sword and proceding to play the rest of the game using it and the only spell I ever cast is true strike.
green_yawgmoth 03-03-05, 12:28 AM	74. They are amazed that enemies have items to boost fort saves when the party druid seems to be having an affair with the Finger of Death spell. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/yawgmoth/kittyjig.gif
Gnome_Dragon_Disciple 03-03-05, 01:08 AM	Not even bothering to number since it seems to have gotten wonky... They think their character gets all special abilities, homelands, gods, and special items a movie/anime/comic book character gets just because they give their character the same name. (I really don't think the player in question is a moron... hell, he's a great guy to hang around with. He just likes making D&D characters to replay movies and anime...) They think their Lawful Good character taking Exalted feats isn't held to a higher standard than a normal Lawful Good character, and that their character may bend rules to their benefit in order to avoid being overtly "evil" and still KEEP their exalted feats. The player will soon become very ****** when I kill off his poorly played character, and hopefully I (as a DM) will get out of the resulting argument with all my teeth and one less player... or at least one less player-killing LAWFUL GOOD character...
