There's always room for choice Austin Powers, Jim Carrey (Pet Detective) or Chappelle quote at my table :cool: I think it's even required to quote the Emperor from Star Wars Ep. III when casting a lightning bolt ("UNLIMITED POWER!!!" in that silly voice).

For my players character death has been consequential enough with the existing rules. I don't know if it's the mechanical penalty that ticks them off, or is it the general feeling of failure. PCs aren't usually resurrected more than two times on the wishes of the player - I guess the 'build'...

Waldorfs got Edena beat on levels. 350 levels is double Edenas + he's got star destroyers.

Good stuff! The links to your pdf's at lulu.com were great, it's been a while since I read those storyhours back here. Now I'll have something to read, thanks! :D

I hope Waldorf is still around to see this challenge through. I don't know if to root for ENWorlds own, Edena, or for Waldorf. I kinda wish to see Edena's ass nuked, but Waldorf seems even more munchkinny (if that's possible) than Edena.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's, in addition to making no sense, nowhere near legit. Let me guess: they're lovers? Edena the 161st level human male and Edena the 161st female elf .. consider the offspring. Too bad it's going to be a half-elf, but I guess a race or gender has never...

Cheney shot his friend in the face, and he'd had a new pacemaker earlier :\

More telling would be to know if he used stuff from it for his own characters. EGG: "C'mon, my scores suck! Re-roll, c'mon?" DM: "You know the rule; no re-rolls" EGG: "Dayum.. whatever, my fighter falls on his sword" EGG: *goes write UA method IX for stat rolls*

He did write UA, didn't he? Well, it was also Gygax who said that 3E caters to powergamers: "IMO there has been a vast shift in game focus in 3E. The archetype has gone by the board, comic book-like feats are a feature, the whole purpose of play is set on killing things, and power gaming is...

Heh heh, a good response. I would've probably been too stunned to react.

I thought you said you were improving the game?

My friend found a bend on a river that Drizzt can't cross. So drizzt is stuck in the bend on other side of the stream while you pepper him with arrows. Takes a long time, but he will die with no risk to you.

Using Forge and Robin Laws terminology on Gary is like using psychoanalysis on Hannibal Lecter . He defies analysis. :cool:

Hell naw, it's true! He told the whole story some years back when people had (rightly so) trouble believing he had a legit 121st level character. He got the levels the way I told. The characters history was pretty crazy in other ways too. Like real crazy. IIRC it involved aot a sex change into a...

Also, when you get the hang of laying smackdown on high level PCs, don't forget to have them from time to time encounter low powered monsters, for two reasons: verisimilitude: the roaming bands of kobolds they fought at level 1 haven't disappeared. sense of achievement: if your opposition...

If one of my friends had made a wish like that, I would've tormented him with advances from half-orc transvestites for next 2-4 sessions. But our game isn't that serious anyway ;) This topic of discussion is a bit distant for me though, I only play with people who have been my friends for the...

I'd rather characterize it as powergaming, even though munchkins and powergamers both seek to maximize power. They are differentiated by that munchkinism is only found where it's enabled by an incompetent DM. Powergamers operate within the rules, while munchkins seek to bend them to their...

Many people consider 3E to be catering to powergamers and be the source of decline in roleplaying, so it's kinda ironic that the creater of D&D fits that bill too.

At higher levels I create obstacles for the PCs to overcome without even thinking beforehand how they might possibly overcome them. They usually come up with a way that I woudn't have thought about anyway :\

I'm all for player entitlement and all, but anyone coming to me with a list of demands is going to be presenting that list to someone else in the near future :cool: Only one rule is really needed for good D&D gaming: "Don't play with jerks". As a DM I try to go with the credo "Instead of...
