Mar 27, 2009 21:53:29 I have more awkward moments at my table than funny moments. Well, they are funny but in an odd/weird sort of way.

Vampire is a serious game.

Mar 27, 2009 22:44:30 One of our last campaigns sported an "uber-bard". She power-gamed her Perform skill with feats and magic up to some kind of insane bonus, such that at 9th level Perform checks in the 40's were not uncommon.

Claims? What people have said exactly is hard to remember. One of our rogues killed a drow caster in one stab. As she lay dying he told her that her brother would die the same way. It took a crit and good die rolls, but in that other encounter he did in fact tuble into the flank and kill him in a single strike.

The ones that really get us rolling our eyes are the rounds in combat when everything seems to come together for the player and they legally get a bunch of actions during their turn. Free and swift actions help. At the end of their round someone will usually say something like "Wait! You can still draw a dagger, drop it, speak, and fall prone. Then pull another dagger."
