    Trap an Egyptian-Style Pyramid

    The above poster has the right idea, but you should use poisoned water or acid instead of normal water.

    DM Advice: handling 'he can't talk to me like that' ~cuts NPC throat~ players.

    If you want DM controlled characters to be the heroes, go write a novel.

    Trap an Egyptian-Style Pyramid

    You know, the lotus is an archetypically Egyptian flower. Black lotus extract is contact poison that damages con. So have some mummy/anubis statue guardians coated in it. Use grappling.

    When you want to strangle a player

    Have you read "Going Postal" or "Making Money"? Moist Von Lipwig could totally do that.

    Wondering:R2D2 as a DnD Character

    I think he can be best represented as a psion.

    When you want to strangle a player

    I think this is an interesting point. That may have been what the bard player was trying to get across when he brought out the tables.

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    First thread I could find on google was this one: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=369436 IIRC, the archivist has bumped the psion out of the top five.

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    Basically, if done right (take natural spell), a druid with a decent animal companion is as effective as two other characters. The dudes who spend way too much time on this sort of thing* have come to a consensus that the druid is one of the three most powerful character classes in a game...

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    Druid or thrallherd. Perhaps a necromancer of some sort. Either way, a class that gives you disposable minions to protect you is a good idea.

    new death save == leave your buddy on the floor for 3 rounds?

    "Obiviously?" Seems more along the lines of "I, headreaver will knock you down." Since reave means to tear asunder, I'd assume the ability means that the headreaver is really good at, you know, decapitating opponents.

    D&D 4E 4E in Car-speak: "No Sale"

    4e is like a new lego car. And what do you do with legos? Build the set, play with it for a while, then break it down and combine with the pile of old legos into something new.

    Would you allow Diplomacy the ability to insult as well as negotiate?

    The main problem with them I see is that a level 20 wizard can't convince his level 20 cleric wife to pass the salt.

    When the PCs Can Beat Everything

    This actually seems like something the gleemax charop forums might be useful for. Put up a post with full info on the characters and ask what weaknesses they have that you might be missing.

    infravision: how do one see?

    What he's missing is that enough visible light will harm you too. Just saying that infravision works on a limited spectrum of infrared, similar to how vision works on the limited visual spectrum, solves about 90% of his concerns.

    Maximum visibility in air

    Let's see if this can be done with the game rules, because internal consistency is fun. Given that Everest (9km) is about 450 times the height of a colossal creature, we can expand out the table of penalties to hide checks. The final number is . -16-4*450 =-1816 to hide checks. It...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    I would have just said "rule of cool", and let him do it. After all, it's not overpowered, and if it became a specialty (share spells on the familiar to deliver touch attacks), it could be nifty. Besides, it is a *magic* snake, so it's possible to handwave the issue.
