1042 Uses for a towel [Archive] - Wizards Community

Post/Author/DateTime Post
WCH
05-02-05, 02:17 AM In light of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy being out, many of us are desirous to include references in our campaigns. I personally plan to include a magical towel -- or, at least, a mundane towel which the PCs will think is magical.

But what uses could a towel have in D&D? Let's find out!

1) Impromptu blindfold when you discover the nasty beast is really a basilisk
2) Non-lethal melee weapon
3) Strangulation device
4) Covering up an object with Light or Darkness cast on it
5) Getting orc bits off of you after they read your Explosive Runes
Vharuck
05-02-05, 02:49 AM 6) Toga party!
7) Tourniquet for when your arm is lopped off by a vorpal weapon.
Sarella Starshine
05-02-05, 02:49 AM 8) wiping the sweat off after fighting
ChimericPhase
05-02-05, 02:59 AM 9) White flag to wave to negotiate a truce with the enemy
10) Exotic Weapon Prof (Towel) Towel snap, 1d3-2 damage, x2(only if wet)
TheChilliGod
05-02-05, 03:27 AM This has got to be, without exception, the stupidest "1 thousand and something" thread. Of all time.
...
COOL!

11) Washing dishes with, after dinner at a PC's place.
12) Drying oneself off after a dip in the lake.
13) Cleaning up wounds (+2 circumstance to healing), if it's not a rough towel.
14) Sweat Headband or a cloak; it just looks cool. Unless the towel has a teddy bear on it.
15) Impromptu picnic blanket. (Just imagine, all the adventures and the un-disguised BBEG along with henchmen having a picnic together.)
16) Napkin. 'nough said.
17) Very useful for attracting bulls if the towel is red.
18) Improvised cast. You don't have a cleric, and your sword-arm is broken. It'll need to heal naturally, so give it a towel cast and/or sling.
Jerivar
05-02-05, 03:30 AM 7) Tourniquet for when your arm is lopped off by a vorpal weapon.

Yeah. Except that the Dungeon Master's Guide relates how a vorpal weapons lops off the foes' HEAD.

19. Enchant it a bit, then sling it around above your head. I don't know what that'll do, but it may just stir up a wind/sandstorm, and your enemies DEFINATELY don't want that!
20. A bullet-sling. For throwing bullets.
21. Enchanted, it becomes like a tanglefoot bag.
Korhal_IV
05-02-05, 03:38 AM Yeah. Except that the Dungeon Master's Guide relates how a vorpal weapons lops off the foes' HEAD.
It's going to have to be a big tourniquet, then. :D
WCH
05-02-05, 04:48 AM 22) Pull it out as if it's an extremely powerful secret weapon of some kind and threaten your enemy with it. He will most likely believe you that it has heinous power, and will submit to your every whim.

Throwing it on the ground, pointing and shouting "kill!" may or may not also work.
MinusInnocence
05-02-05, 05:42 AM 23) Wet, can be used to smother flames.
24) Slung over a rope, can simulate a zipline to a lower level.
25) May offer a bonus on a Disarm attempt.
26) Every BBEG hates heroes who don't wipe their feet first.
27) When falling into a prickly rosebush, may cushion you against the thorns.
28) Insulation against the cold. It won't help you against a White Dragon but it gets pretty chilly in January.
29) Covering deceased PCs.
30) Fill it with some rocks and beat up a Cleric. Or anyone, I guess.
CzarGarrett
05-02-05, 10:27 AM 31) Use in conjunction with fire to make smoke signals
32) Parachute while falling

WCH
05-02-05, 06:04 PM Whoa, allenchan? A friend of mine who just quit playing D&D is named Alan Chan. :eek:

Anyway:

It still has to be a masterwork towel, right? so you need to find an expert crafter with Towel-making. :P

pkrerc
05-03-05, 09:04 PM You could use it to protect yourself from the Ravenous Tarrasque of Traal. A creature so stupid it thinks that if you can't see it, it can't see you.

You could also use it to slay aforementioned ravenous man-eating monster by soaking the towel in any liquid and wielding it as a whip.

Not to mention that you could also erm... use it to... mop the monster's blood off of the floor after you kill it?

Arthur_Pendragon
05-04-05, 04:17 AM 17) Very useful for attracting bulls if the towel is red.

Interestingly enough, I hear bulls actually have only black and white (and shades of gray) vision (er. . . their colorblind I think is the right word). So actually it wouldn't matter if it is red or not. It's actually the way the guy shakes the "bull-angry-making-thing", either that or just that the guy is there at all.

er . . . . since I'm on here I guess I should make some contribution of some sort.

80) Use it in the construction of a REALLY BIG Moltov cocktail. :mage:

So actually it wouldn't matter if it is red or not. It's actually the way the guy shakes the "bull-angry-making-thing", either that or just that the guy is there at all.

Most mammals see in greyscale (Black and white for most folks). The parts of the eye that percieve color are clustered in a specific region of the eye and are not useful at all in seeing peripheral areas, where much of the attantion is focused in a do-or-die situation. Humans are rare in that we percieve color in our central viewing field. It's believed to be the actual motion of the cloth that attracts the bulls attention, not the color. The color gets humans attention.

And so:

81: Waving around to attract the attention of people so you can show off how smart you are.:teach: :cheer: :evillaugh

93) perfect defense when an evil wizard starts crying on you.
