[QUOTE="Larcen, post: 723362, member: 2406"] Ok, here is a few more for those who care to try them: - D&D Word Problem Quiz 2 - #11 (By request) The player wants to have a "Legolas Moment" and so decides to take his PC surfing down a flight of stairs on a shield... while shooting arrows at orcs. (Note: AuraSeer, I am digging your ruling on this. Just wanted to see if there were any others. However, I think your DC 35 is too high to be cinematic, especially considering the benefit (?) the maneuver ultimately provides.) #12 Since Nytin has arrived, Evaldood now just wants to get out of Dodgeville. However, the only exit from the dungeon is directly behind Nytin. More of out desperation than sanity, he throws caution to the wind and attempts to bowl over Nytin, run thru the door, slam it shut, and hopefully bar the door from other side while Nytin is getting back to his feet. #13 Same situation as above, only Nytin is a ogre and Evaldood is a halfing looking to make a mad dash between Nytin's legs. He may not bother with closing the door. #14 After one insult too many, Shurshott decides to make his move. He throws the ale from the mug he is holding into the bully's face and hopes that will distract the braggard long enough to allow him to get up out of his chair and draw his longsword. #15 Lucky triggered the water trap. An entire ocean is now flooding the room he is in at an alarming rate of 100 gallons per second. He manages to get out of the 20x20x10 room and close the 3 inch thick well-made wooden door behind him all in one round. Lucky is now busy running at breakneck speed down the LONG 240x5x7 foot shaft that got him there. Will the door hold or burst from the water pressure? If it breaks, when? And how fast will the tidal wave travel to engulf him? Enquiring DMs want to know. (Note: This situation is not all unlike something that *I* had to arbitrate as DM once. ARGH. I needed a slideruler. It's times like this most DMs would just start pulling numbers out of their...well, you know.) Have fun! [/QUOTE]
