[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 3615207, member: 259"] I played a bard as a backup character once when my main PC was dead. It was in a dungeon in which a hag (annis, maybe?) guarded a set of extradimensional prison cells that were entered by standing on a platform when a switch was thrown. The rest of the party hung back while the bard, under Change Self, entered the room disguised as a troll or something. He immediately began telling her the story of Little Red Riding Hood, only in this version, the wolf- and little-girl-eating grandmother was the protagonist (roll for fascinate; the hag fails). Before too long, he was having her act out the various rolls in the modified fairy tale, involving violent consumption of her houseguests. At one point, he [i]suggested[/i] that she stand on the platform with her eyes closed (roll for suggestion; the hag fails); she complied, and the bard quickly threw the switch that teleported her into a cell with a troll. Funny thing: a hag's abilities, nasty as they are, can't overcome a troll's regeneration. We all listened at our leisure to the screams and tearings and munching sounds from that cell, before we summoned the troll out and subjected it to Charm Monster :). Daniel [/QUOTE]
