[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5158075, member: 46017"] [b]Funny Story (At least I think so) ;}[/b] At this point I have been gaming with both my children for a few years now and it makes me smile every time one of them says something like, “Ian could be a Mummy for Halloween and we could use the wagon as his sarcophagus!” I don’t think I knew what a sarcophagus was until I was 10 and started playing D&D (and I’m pretty sure I mispronounced it for a couple years). My son started in earnest last year at age 4. He liked 4th edition for its Push Effects. I ran him through the sample module in the DMG vs. the kobolds and he loved it. When the kobolds would surrender he would make them go stand in the “green slime” in the 1st room to wait for his return. (Of course it was just slimy slime, not the kind that turned you into green slime). With the kids age 7 and 5 now, we’ve recently made the game slightly more complex. We’ve started using dice for everything and included the concept of saving throws. We use Pathfinder for the general character builds. My son plays a Catfolk Sorcerer while my Daughter plays an Elven Sorcerer, both with the Fey Bloodline (3rd lvl). Last night in the living room they were having a “Magical Duel”, each yelling “Magic Missile” while pointing the other then jumping behind furniture to hide. Then I saw my daughter get an evil grin as she hid behind the end table. She jumped up with her hand extended toward my extremely ticklish son and yelled, “Laughing Touch!” The spell was quite successful. So successful in fact that I think my daughter suffered a little backlash as they both fell to the floor laughing wildly. 3+ your Cha modifier times per day? Obviously my children are quite charismatic, as that became the attack of choice for the rest of the night. [/QUOTE]
