Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Thomas Shey]

One time in the early 2000s, back when we were all being encouraged to change the names of stuff on our character sheets (anyone else remember Lydia's "footpaddin'" skill?), I changed my Charisma to Audacity.

And honestly, I still prefer it.

I've seen a lot of that in published games over the years, sometimes for some functional purposes, sometimes, far as I can tell, just because.

Toon had Chutzpah.

I'd be a little surprised if no one's done an ultralight or FKR with these by now.

So did Paranoia. It also had Moxie.

"Should I call the home nation 'Spanita.' Or maybe "Anglaterre.'"

If only. The actual names suggest that A) none of this ever saw use at a table and B) this was probably all meant to be a 30-part series of giant fantasy novels.

Looking at the last few pages ...

Oh, I see what's happening here.

Discussions about current music is the path to the dark side. Discussions about current music leads to talk about music in general. Music in general leads to talk about people playing music. And talking 'bout people playing music leads to bards.

I AM ON TO YOU!

I’m pretty much multi-multiclassed…but definitely with some bard up in there.

With the skill list, how can you ever tell if a Bard is multiclassed?

When they do something unBardlike. Rage. Turn Undead. Actually Move Silently. Turn down a hot elf chick.

Guess I'm multiclassed too. Back in my youth I had a terrible anger issue that seemed to clarify everything to the point that I was pretty damned dangerous. But maybe we're in a system that allows reassignment, though, as I got the rages under control around age 20.

Your player realized they wanted to keep this character through the rest of the campaign and started playing them differently, rather than treating it like a one-shot.

If I were a D&D character, instead of a real-life person?

Stab me with a sword or arrow, and I'll die--probably immediately and in great pain. If I slip and fall 30 feet, I'll probably die or sustain a life-changing injury. If you set me alight with a Molotov Cocktail, I'll die. Gas explosion in my kitchen? Dead. Bitten by a rattlesnake? Dead. Attacked by wolves? Yep, dead.

You guys are talking about your hypothetical IRL character classes and how many levels of Bard you've taken, but I've read your witty posts and snarky comments and I haven't taken a single point of damage from it yet. And I'd know, because my pasty backside only has one hit point.

We're using non-lethal damage out of fear of the banhammer.
