[QUOTE="Xaven, post: 187060, member: 2988"] Well, I know just what you are talking about. I once DMed for a game where I had the player (it was a solo game) start at 10 years old. It was based in dragonlance, so he wanted to become a Knight of Solamnia. So, being the adventurous sort, went into a cave to explore (it was more detailed why he went in there, but this was years ago, so I don't quite remember the details). Well, as he went inside, he was confronted by a goblin. He picked up a rock, through it at the goblin and took off out of the cave. Well, he eventually stopped and saw that the goblin wasn't following him. He cautiously went back into the cave and saw that he had killed the goblin with the stone throw. I had had him make an attack roll, and he had rolled a critical, and he did double damage and did max, so it killed the goblin. Well, he picked up the rock and continued into the cave. This time, he entered an open area with a silver egg and another goblin. The goblin surprised him and attacked. The goblin missed (poor roll on my part) and the boy swung the rock at the goblin. Another critical, killing the second goblin. He saved the egg (which was a silver dragon egg) and it hatched in front of him. The little girl came home with him and that was his first adventure. When he became a knight, when we fast forwarded ahead, he still had that rock, and would still use that as his missile weapon of choice. He ended up getting it enchanted by the dragons for saving the baby. [/QUOTE]
