Hey, look at it this way. Who would WANT to play with people who won't enjoy it and won't get into the game? And groups can be found ANYWHERE, even if you feel that NOBODY you knows would be interested. My most recent group I'm DMing for, a bunch of newbies, were people I never thought would be...

I like it! Sound's perfect, and will lead to some interesting combats! That deals with GETTING the limbs, which would probably be the hardest part. Now I'll just make a chain of feats which lets him reduce the penalty over time, and gives him that fear aura, which activates when he rips a limb...

Ooooooh...harsh. I like it! :]

If you want something interesting, but NOT usually a PC creature: you could go with Pseudodragon, which you could rule has a level adjustment of 1. It could also be an UNBOUND (As in, not owned by a wizard) homunculus. He could be a shocker lizard, but then you'd have to provide some reason as...

The group I DM for is held together by some not-played-out backstory. The Cleric, who had a nature deity, once saved the Druid's wolf companion. And such and such...there is plot behind the story which we didn't play out, because they met one at a time. This campaign is JUST starting, and with a...

Ahh, but he wants to more or less specialize in it, so I might make a chain of feats to let him eliminate the penalty and give him sweet abilities, such as a small fear aura when wielding a limb or becoming better and dis-limbing people. I don't want to step on his "rights" to fun with...

Definitely. And they would probably repeatedly ask for surrender, saying "We mean you no harm" and such. They should fight all out until the PCs are weak, and then subdue them, and, as Kamikaze noted, leave them somewhere FAR, FAR away. They are, after all, the epitome of "good"! You could also...

That's right. I have a player who's playing an AWESOME barbarian who's really...BARBARIC! The barbarian wears a necklace of enchanted shrunken heads, for one thing. He wants to be able to bodily pick up an opponent, or better yet, tear off somebody's arm or leg, and wield it as a weapon! Now...

I hear you. But since I like rogues, and am careful to keep the "solo adventure" of the theft confined to ~1 minute, if even that, I give XP for sucessful theft, though sometimes very little XP, just as if it was disarming a trap.

I want to know your stories about the WORST and BEST player(s) you've known. If you're a DM it can be people you've DMed for, but if you're a player it can be someone you've played with. I'll start it off: WORST: I had one player who would ONLY play half-elf paladins who were nearly identical...

I'd have to try some Dire Cow ribeye! And definitely some rothe.

Well, first, (as I'm sure you already know!), good roleplay is what defines a character, not just the class and feats, so two identical characters, if played with different personalities, can be totally different. As for prestige, I've always found it best to make my own. If you're a player...

The Redemption of Althalus is great inspiration too.

Haha, or Bishop's Dark Jewel''s Trilogy

Sortof. I have it so the artificer can effectively set the damage and rate of fire with a successful check, but the higher it's set at, the higher probability of malfunctioning (jamming blowing up or some such), and the more ammo used.

Yah, they are mostly, but they are fiercely dedicated to the destruction of evil and the support of good. They just think that their good is the only "pure" good. They valiantly fight the BBEG (The Dark One) and his creatures, but sometimes they are misguided. They are sincerely trying to fight...

Gotta say my obsessive imagination made up most of it. When I was ~5-8 my cousins and I would play these imaginary, RPG-like, LARP-like games, with wooden weapons and whatnot. I was always the person running this, and it extneded naturally into my role as a DM. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the...

Well, I've done things before like make "high level" ogres (like, lots of levels in the creature type) or given them PC class levels. But that's pretty common. I had one campaign in which the ogres were masters of earth magic, with a binding blood pact with the most powerful elemental from the...

Not exactly a faux pas, but a funny true story nonetheless. This had occurred some time ago, back in high school. I was the DM helping out a couple friends with leveling up, when my little sisters walks in. For those who don't know, this particular sister is not just in good favor with the dice...

No. We're far worse, and far more powerful than God! We're more powerful than Ao. God's just a lowly major god. BWAHAHAHA
