it s some thing where you hire a bunch of peasants to pass a ladder


basically one peasant readies a action to throw it and the ones next to him readies a action to pass it

he throws and it goes about 1200 miles an hour



in about 2 rounds



course it depends on the dm accepting this shit of course

Well, my DM pretty much accepts my character being this strong... he just doesn't like it. xD I have just really good luck. And it's not so much a peasant Railgun (if I understand your description correctly) when its only one person doing the attack.

As I said, my character has both electric and metallic breath.

And apparently if our characters get caught in another Chaos storm, I'll become an entirely new race and be the first of my kind. All my dragon parts and my undeadness would make me a Dracolich. Problem though: I'm technically a very smart monster at that point. I'd be unable to enter any towns without getting everyone ready to kill me.

Poor Vodka. If she can't go shopping with her daddy, she'd throw a fit. That little girl is the whole reason Cider hasn't gone off and ripped the flesh off someone and made a meat jacket(he would say Lady Gaga did hers all wrong) or anyone in the party. He has a questionable bromance with our gay healing wizard, but it's also utilitarian. He is the only person to say "I want your cock" to another man and mean it in a totally straight way(a joke involving my skill of taking any body part and attatching them to myself). Then when our healer was nearly killed, I pointed out to the friend playing him, "Hey, think of it this way. If he dies and Cider takes his demon core inside of him, Tenil will be inside of another man for the rest of his life."

...Kino would have a field day with the mages of the party. xD Especially in the dungeon we were just in.

Slightly NSFW stuff from the campaign:


There are times this campaign makes me laugh really hard, but at the end of the day, I just shake my head. XD

Great. Reading Forgotten Realms and getting obsessed with Baldur's Gate is making me want to play DnD again. I keep wondering if I'm bored because it really is boring, or because everyone always wants to play really late at night, and usually right before I need to go somewhere the next morning.

My favorite exploit is the 3E D&D one where you can take a feat that lets you mount and dismount a riding animal as a free action. So if you lined up a great number of horses or dogs or whatever with a single 5 foot space between each one you could essentially teleport.

So, I am heading back to school next week and I started e-mailing my friend about a possible idea for his robot companion We have a tank that essentially has served as our mainfor of transportation. We stripped the weapons, because my character became the only one able to drive a tank that could fit in it (the talking wolf got too large after a level up).

So, I was thinking of asking this friend (he has to be okay with it, before the DM gives approval for us to go through with it. XD) if we could try to turn his robot into a Transformer by intergrating it into our Tank. Our DM may probably make some sort of catch like we won't be able to store items anymore and my character's daughter will need to actually hide somewhere. XD

The other idea is something I'm gonna send my DM. My 6 year old mage has basically been used for EXP farming for the mages of the party. She's been learning a lot of spells and stuff. So, I figured that I'd make her more useful as a non-combatant. As a six year old, I think giving her markers would be kind of cute... However, these are magic markers and if used on a surface that can be drawn on, a certain buff will be given for one battle.

It won't work on the wolf and I'm thinking that it might work even better on the robot, who is made out of metal, which would mean the marker might last longer. xD

...totally not using it as an excuse for my character to follow through with her promise of decorating the robot with hearts.

So, last session our DM said that we're doing one more story related quest and then he's gonna kill all of our characters. However, he's letting my six year old die, because he knows I'm gonna use her in my campaign. That and she never really did much besides just learn from two of the best. DM said that she'd probably get a spot in this government organization for mages that made plenty of enemies, which grants them special rights and such. A six year old as a government agent...

Here's the reason why. Right after the boss of the dungeon, we walked out and got ambushed by a shark man, who takes out weakened adventurers, returns the treasures to the dungeon and resets the traps. I asked the DM if I could just make the shark shut up for talking too much with a breath attack, and he said it was "cutscene" so I couldn't do anything. XD

While we were fighting it, he explained that his homebrew had some major rule changes since our last session before winter break and making new characters would just be easier. As he said this, I got the first attack on the boss and got a crit. The attack required me to get an 11 to pull it off, and then actually hit him. The boss failed the dodge roll, so he got hit with an attack that does 200 damage... then with the crit it was 400 damage. XD His defense had him hanging with only 50 HP remaining. Our DM looks at me and goes, "And that's a prime example, as always, of why you all need to die." Apparently my damage output at level 9 was equivalent to a weak level 50, if I got very lucky.

What happened afterwards was the DM really trying to get payback for my stupid luck. Basically, it was gonna hit me with four attacks in a row and each one did a little over 100 damage each hit. The first attack hit me (my full HP is 250) and brought me down to 133. The next hit brought me down to 58. Then I dodged the last two hits. Then he tried it again the next turn, after I got healed up and he just missed me entirely.

After our level ups, I had our demon healer character turn my zombie into a demon.

So, the doomsday quest turned out a thousand times better than I imagined. It was freaking AWESOME.

So, the highlights of this evening's session:

1. The 6 year old got turned into a demon child.

2. Our characters got invited to a party on an airship.

3. My character's daughter participated in a junior league division tournament and proved how broken she was by beating kids twice her age with pokes.

4. My character met the man who killed his entire family lineage and had just a quick battle on the condition that it was a straight up battle. 300 years of being dead resulted in my character getting curbstomped. I weakened his magic defense enough to stand a chance, but I basically had to dodge like 12 hits in a single action.

5. We got dropped into The Black Forest and had two options. go to the north to the town through a 10 day route that hates demons and have a risky escape or take the 5 day route west with more dangerous monsters and a ticket home. We took West after realizing we all had 25 potions on us all that healed 50 HP a pop.

6. Befriended a red oni named Silabud. This thing replaces me as the OP'd 1-hit-wonder dealer as I'm now on par with some of the things we're fighting.

7. Our catgirl knight gets cursed by a demon that will turn her into one of its own in 19 days.

8. The final battle...

And holy crap, it was just awesome. It was a giant demon of darkness that blocked our path and it seemed to counter everything I threw at it. It also had 1000 HP and 50 DEF in everything. So, we were cooridinating like crazy. In the end, we managed to make it weak enough for one of my critical hits to kill it. Unfortunately, it countered by putting its remaining charges of its breath attack into it's Dark Breath attack, dealing 400 damage (800 total, but 400 cancelled out my attack) and killing me instantly. xD Thenhe got destroyed by our healer. Violence Rebound...

So, we rolled for our loot and I rolled a 20. It was a trap. All of our characters got sucked into the dimension of Darkness except for my character's daughter, our knight's wolf, and Silabud.

Our DM rolled or the length of time we're in there for, and we'll be in for 14 years. Our healer might be able to get out early, but if I leave early, my character will be corrupted by darkness and could bring about an apocolypse.
_______________________________

So, I might as well post the end result of my character at the end of this campaign.



And now, his entire spellbook passed onto his daughter... She still has 14 years to learn more things too. So, I can see why my DM won't let me use her anymore. XD



Also, here's her hammer, currently:

Thing is that the DM would have forced me to be unable to enter towns. I'd be considered a monster--a highly intelligent one, but still a monster.

Don't you have a Hat of Disguise? Or the healer could just buy your Scooby-Snacks for you.

If you've been paying attention to my posts about this campaign, I think I mentioned how much my DM hates that character of mine. xD He's forcing my luck to mean nothing.

I mean, in some of our fights, even though I crit'd on my dodge roll, the monster's mods still outrolled me. =_= Quite frankly that was the most annoying part because at times, I could clearly see him trolling me by changing the dice or coin flips in his favor. I mean, honestly, if you're gonna be that blatantly rigging things against a certain player...

I do see where his frustration comes from though. I'm a level 10 with damage output far exceeding my level.

^I really don't like those kind of DMs, the ones that give the party abnormal amounts of treasures, rerolls the dice so that we don't get hit, and lets us go willy-nilly on character creation. Then by the time we reach the climax, we are decked out, then the battle goes at a small challenge, because he almost planned the amazing things he would give us. Then afterwords, he would just become unfair and take sides so that we would lose. Then he would complain that it isn'f fun for him anymore bevause he can't injure us severly, then he ends all of our adventures with a cheap, stupid rocks fall everyone dies lol trick. Yeah, I hate those kind of DM's, your's is probably better though.

*Important note: Not actually a Senpai.
