You strike up a friendship/ contact. Major: your new pal can do useful things. (A guard captain; a ship's captain; a priest; a potion-mixer; a government functionary; a member of the thieves' guild)

A pet dog! He just comes up to you. Major: a mule or possibly maybe a draft horse, depending on level.

A little kid decides you're the best hero ever. Major: He'll run messages for you.

You find a penny. Hmm, it's dirty. What's this, a gold piece? Major: a minor inheritance, or money you didn't know you had... like 20 gp or so.

Puckish luck: at any non-combat point during the next session, the player can call this in, and an NPC of his choice will suffer a pratfall. Major: of Clouseauesque proportions.

Those are great guys. Thanks. BTW, I'm thinking it will be a random table, so no feats for autochoosing number 2.

- Small fairies clean your clothes. (or rather you are inexplicably clean the next morning)

9. You find a kitten.

GAH! RUN!!!!

-An artisan gives you a one-of-a-kind item, customized for your character.
Example from last night's game: hand-made, carved drinking horns (viking style) with symbols and designs on them appropriate to individual PC's.

I will be giving our Bard character a customized scroll case for all his stories and songs and other notes and maps that bards are likely to keep. One possible benefit of this particular case, is that it is enchanted so that a particular class of songs, spells, or perhaps Lore checks or other research-related skill checks will be at +1.

I'm giving the Rogue a Masterwork 10-foot pole (+2 to Search checks).

- You can change a physical feature of your character (within reason)
- The weather is particularly nice today.
- Someone gives you a towel.

[Numion]

- The STD you got from event #2 is mysteriously cured
- You're offered an endorsement deal from an adventuring equipment firm. Free TorchLite(TM)-torches forever!
- PalanTirV wants to do 'Cribs' on your castle. Hope you're not still living out of taverns. Polish the chrome wagon wheels and that 42" giant Palantir screen!
- A refugee from Mordor offers you opportunity to help to transport a chest of treasure, that was left in the wake of toppled Sauron, out of Mordor. You only need to front 1000 gps for taxes and transportation, and he'll split it 30-70. Honest.
- An innocent is accidentally accused of the last crime you did. You're in the clear. Major: it was a murder charge.

 

[awayfarer]

- That sofa on the corner looks practically new!
- In a small cubbyhole in someones basement/ancient ruins, you find a 300 year old bottle of dwarven whiskey.
- A local fortune teller offers to read the PC's palms for free.
- PC's get an invitation to a local fancy dress ball.
- One of the recently rescued commoners was the local chocolatiers brother. PC's are treated to a box of "Glibbenhelms Wowza! assortment"
- A recently deceased, rich uncle left everything to his cats, except for the old teddy bear that a PC used to play with when they were younger. It arrives by mail along with the death notice.
- The bards new lute pick turns out to be a pit fiends tooth. When he plays, his eyes turn a deep, fiery green and members of the opposite sex throw themselves at him.
- The druids animal companion has a litter of adorable puppies. (Extra: If you want to mess with the character, make the litter puppies regardless of what the animal companion actually is.)
- A former nemesis has married and settled down into a life of quiet contemplation.
- The worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle is actually a powerful wizard. He offers stock tips and veal recipes if the PC's let him go. (Note: You need to be close to the bottom of the bottle to hear the worm talking...just like in real life.)

I'm giving the Rogue a Masterwork 10-foot pole (+2 to Search checks).

I did this in 2E. I had the Rogue's mentor give him a ten-foot sectional pole. It was actually three 3.33 foot poles that screwed together. He called it "modern technology."

Nice sig, DreadArchon. It made me chuckle.
