Chosen of Mystra
First Post
Well let me tell a story.
About 7 years ago when I was a young DM I played with a lot of my simliarly aged friends. One of them was my best friend. He was a 5'8" 230 lbs ball of muscle. Anyway he had a penchant for playing axe wielding fighters.
The funny thing was is they always seemed to turn out the same way. Low INT and WIS, really High STR, 14-17 in Dex and Cha.
So he was always the type of guy that no matter how hard he got hit he would always run right back into the fray, your tradtional tank. Except he didn't care if anyone backed him up if his arm was broke he just keep on running back.
One time there was this covered wagon with a princess inside it. And Mike jumped inside after he heard her scream. He got hit so hard by this monster he flew out of the wagon and smacked his back off of a stone cliffside. He got up shook what he could off and ran right back in only to have the same thing happen.
The rest of the party just stood there and watched as he kept running in and getting thrown out of this wagon.
More to my point, one time Mike heard a growl from inside a cave, and without warning tore off into it to kill whatever was growling. When he got into the cave it was pitch black. About five minutes later his party members found him curled up in the corner shaking.... they asked him what was wrong and he replied: "I'm afraid of the dark"
What are some of your PC's most outrageous and quirky phobias?
