annalivvie 10-12-04, 07:02 AM	There are always those things in a game that really gets under the skin of all the other characters, and usually the players as well. Anyone ever have the character that you couldnt stand to be in the same party with? Here's the place to talk about it. 1.) Take a vow of nonviolence. 2.) Stop everytime someone dies to search them for loot even if you are in the middle of combat, while the rest of the party stands and taps their feet and gets horribly annoyed. EX: Party invades elven tree kingdom to take it back from the evil inside. (over two hundred enemies) Encounter 1: Party drops the 7 elite guards. Barbarian: I search the bodies. Druid: No, you dont. DM: Are you really searching the bodies? Barabarian: Yes I search the bodies. I have a 21 on search. DM: You find **flips through the DMG and spits out a few weapons and gold** Barbarian: That's it? Are you kidding me? DM: Well that, and you see three clerics... everyone make three reflex saves... Party: GREAT! 3.) Let the BBEG surrender multiple times, even after he keeps coming back to kill you. 4.) Fight a fight that everyone else in the party is against, and b**** because you dont get healed. 5.) Kill everything in front of you because it is an NPC, even if it has valuable information and is unrelated to the real adventure. 6.) Yell at the spellcaster for always running away. 7.) Make up reasons for your character to get temporarily angry with the party to go and earn more experience points and get a solo adventure. 8.) Try to use magic to seduce a party member that is married and has a bond that physically wounds her when anything like that happens. 9.) Never really roleplay.
Sphyre 10-12-04, 07:28 AM	10) Play a wizard... but go into combat like a barbarian! "I scream and charge him... does a 9 hit?" 11) Play a wizard... and prepare only prestidigitations... "because it's so cool it can do anything" 12) Druid wildshape into a hawk and explain how you want to "peck the tendriculous' eyes out." When the party tells you to wildshape into something effective you respond with "Like what?"* 13) Go off on your own all the time and say it's because you're roleplaying your character who's a loner.* 14) Refuse to go into combat when your allies are dying "because you have no reason to really attack it." 15) Challenge NPCs in a bar to a jumping contest because you maxed out your ranks in jump.* 16) Attack every NPC you see. So much for making ANY allies. 17) When your party is trying to negotiate a deal, or deal with a person of authority, blurt something completely rude, offensive and otherwise insult the person to remove all hope of peaceful negotiations 18) play a rogue and always always always be ready to steal from or attack someone. Always sneak off and get in flanking position. 19) play with cha as your dump stat.... and role play it perfectly. 20) play with int as your dump stat... and role play it perfectly. * Done by one of my friends :rolleyes:
Board_Rider 10-12-04, 04:12 PM	21) Always save your own butt in combat by hiding.
niesl 10-12-04, 04:41 PM	22) make a fully optimized character that is able to wipe out a whole day of encounters on his own and refuse to engage in battle 23) make a very badly built character that almost dies at every fight and constantly whine about the lack of healing in the party.
Black Kitten 10-12-04, 05:18 PM	24) Make a fully flavor character who has all the stats, skills and feats he doesn't need. Such as: Lvl 1 fighter with all his ranks in profession, the feats Enimal Affinity, Nimble Fingers and Magical Amplitude (if human) and let him fight with his bare fists. His highest stat is charisma, followed by intelligence and then Wisdom. Dex and Str are dumpstats. "My fighter has always loved to work, such as cleaning an old wizard tower, his stables, learning tricks from nobles who came there. I don't like to fight with weapons since I consider them a burden and I simply don't like to fight. Does anyone want a hamburger? I have a +6 on that skill."
Arrowhen 10-12-04, 05:19 PM	24) Engage in any activity that you have to defend by saying, "But I was just playing my alignment!"
Aluroon 10-12-04, 05:53 PM	25) Rule's Lawer everything. 26) Argue with a dm while rules lawering. Example: Rules Lawer: You cant do that! Player: why not? Rules Lawer: Because of ..... DM: I say he can do it. Rules Lawer: BUT IT SAYS RIGHT HERE IN THE DM"S GUIDE THAT HE CANT DO THAT!!! STOP HOUSE RULING EVERYTHING! 27) Play a dragon disciple...after 10 levels of sorcerer... 28) Whin about needing to rest to reprepare your spells...you've cast 1 magic missile... More later... Aluroon
Sphyre 10-12-04, 06:20 PM	27) Play a dragon disciple...after 10 levels of sorcerer... :rofl: Sad isn't it? One of the few sorcerer prestige classes... and it's terrible for that class (at least not until epic levelrs)
Nylkran 10-12-04, 06:35 PM	29) Roleplay an arrogant character very well.
ImmortalBlueMage 10-12-04, 07:19 PM	30) Carry around a portable hole and a bag of holding everywhere you go. Anytime something doesn't go your way, whip them both out and loudly and violently threaten to wipe a square mile off the face of the gaming world.
Aluroon 10-12-04, 08:42 PM	30) Carry around a portable hole and a bag of holding everywhere you go. Anytime something doesn't go your way, whip them both out and loudly and violently threaten to wipe a square mile off the face of the gaming world. This one is great! 31) Use fireball in the middle of a forest, then wonder why everyone glares at you. 32) Play a druid that likes to wildshape/melee... this wont annoy all of the party, but it WILL give the fighter fits. 33) Sell there souls to a devil in exchange for a staff of the magi. more later... Aluroon
porygandrew 10-12-04, 09:04 PM	:mymy: I have a player who has done most of these things >.< 34?) Sell other player's souls to the devil for anything (a 10-foot pole is best gotten in this situation :D ) EDIT: Anyone ever think of making a printable checklist with all of these things on? I'd like to take these ideas to my games and see just how many we all pull off
Coran 10-12-04, 09:35 PM	35) Play a rogue that is a cleptomaniac. 36) Everyother word out of your chars mouth is mine and you role play it. 37) be a CN telepath who uses Dominate as the answer to all problems this includes PC arguments. 38) Cast Fireball in an inclosed area only really harming you and your allies. 39) Have a spell that can get you miles in seconds but make the party hoof-it with no explaination. 40)Teleport the BBEG and the most Injured partymember 100 miles away with the excuss "I Didn't mean to"
Aerunation 10-13-04, 01:27 AM	47.) Form relationships with the villians
Erelamar 10-13-04, 01:53 AM	48.) Play a wizard that stays in his tower and never does anything with the party save teleporting in when there's combat or treasure to be had. 49.) Play a Cleric that only fights in combat using uber buffing on himself, and never heals in combat, only after, because he would miss out on attacking. 50.) Playing the same exact thing in every single game you play (especially if its with the same group of people)...and make sure all of your characters names are like one letter off from one another. 51.) Being a high level spellcastor and waiting till your action before you start thinking about what spells you are going to cast.
darczero 10-13-04, 03:51 AM	52) Play a Kender 53) Play a fighter with Blind Fight and always fight with your eyes closed 54) Play a spellcaster and make the stat that fuels your spellcasting your dump stat (works especially well with Clerics!)
PalainVII 10-13-04, 02:49 PM	55.) Play a character with multiple personalities and a penchant for spastic halucinations. Trust me, this will anger party members to no end.
CuCulain42 10-13-04, 03:21 PM	56) Play a character who refuses to speak in a language theat anyone in the party can understand. 57) Play a cleric. Be evagilistic. Try to convert they party to your faith. When they don't convert constantly tell them how they are on the wrong path and doomed to the Abyss. 58) Play a tinker gnome. Be helpful. "Here, let me fix that." :D
LukiLoki 10-13-04, 04:32 PM	59. Hoard potions and charges on wands, saying stuff like, "Hey, you never know when this is going to come in handy!" 60. Never buy food (I have done this, it's hilarious) 61. Fall asleep on watch, repeatedly
Aluroon 10-13-04, 05:11 PM	61. Fall asleep on watch, repeatedly Dont do this... It give the dm a field day (well, atleast my dm) 62) Play a Vampire. 63) Play a character using the savage speices character levels. (there terrible) 64) Make 3 spot chects everytime you dm asks for one. 65) Search everyroom 20 times. 66) Dont read the full description of your spells and make a mistake. (Guilty, see below) 67) Play a very lawful monk who never breaks the law, never does anything wrong, never agrues with those in power. As for the spells, here's an example. The party is trudging though the woods at night (on a path) when we are ambushed by goblins (who had 3 class levels each as it turns out). After getting beat up fairly bad by 1 (I'm a level 5 mage...with less then 30 hp and an ac of 11) I decided to take a 5ft. step back and cast web, thinking it only affected 4 5ft. squares. Dm asks for a concentration check from me (I'm at like 4 hp) which I role a 1 on. Dm rules spell is off target by 5ft in my direction. Well web doesnt affect just 4 5ft. squares. its a 20 ft radius, and with the failed check I caught the entire party in the web spell. We spent the next 35 minutes on an encounter that should have lasted 5-10 minutes at max. In the end we used up all our healing magic when the cleric got hit by a charging minitar (a player acutally who charged into the web, fell, hit the cleric (and on a d6 with only 6 on gore) gored him. Then triped getting up, falling on him agian (its a long story but the cleric was at -3 by the time the minitar finally pulled himself and the Half/ogre (wierd party) off of him. More later... Aluroon
The_EvilDungeon_Master 10-13-04, 08:12 PM	15) Challenge NPCs in a bar to a jumping contest because you maxed out your ranks in jump.* :eek: I have a player that does this EVERY SINGLE GAME! No, really. Guru, if you're reading this, you know it's true.
YaoiGoddess 10-13-04, 08:25 PM	68) Have a mage that's immune to fire that loves to wait for the enemy to get with in 10' of the party. Then cast FIREBALL at your own feet. I did this with a 16th level invoker.... 69) Have a CN Teifling Enchanter from Limbo that ending up on Prime while trying to get to Pandemonium for vacation through a cubic gate she bought and doesn't have light or any useful spell in her book. Also keep spouting stuff like "reality is what you make it!" and means it! or denies the party really exists because she thinks they dress tacky. :D

Rancorpit 10-31-04, 03:42 AM	74) Make an uber-optimized killing machine character (preferably with broken items you designed yourself) and then constantly whine because he hasn't got anything to do apart from killing things. And then, when it's time for the actual role-playing, whine because you instead want to go and kill things. I wish I didn't know the guy who did this :embarrass

Write a Prestige Class, particularly if you wrote the character background around it before its approval.

YaoiGoddess 11-02-04, 01:17 AM	90) be the DM, make a character, and claim he is a special NPC, but play him as a party member (this can be really annoying) I had a DM that would do that in every game he ran. It got to be a running joke in the group (unknown to him) that the main target was the NPC and we would all come up with inventive ways to kill them and make it look like an accident! "Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't realize he was in line of disintergrate spell! He better roll a save...I hope he makes it! I thought it was a targeted spell that didn't hit what was in the way....."
