[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 3753947, member: 198"] That ... is ... just ... fricking ... cool! I 've never done the potato farmer thing but I've had things like a bunch of 2nd lvl rogues try to mug a PC with levels in the double digits. Then his friends joined him and a couple of PCs took turns holding off four muggers with one hand while rolling a cigarette with the other and offering odds to their companions on how many hits the enemy could land if they gave them four shots each. Then they discussed who got the least fun in the last fight and let him beat up the enemy single-handed, hung them from a wall via a Web spell (a la Spiderman) with a magical light on it, and left them for the guards. Heck, you can even do things like this when fights don't occur. The PCs in my current Eberron game once [I]air walk[/I]ed their magical steeds over an ambush by gnolls which was designed just for them to strut their stuff. So I did a break for 5 minutes while I described what the gnolls thought of the sight, how they formed a cult based on the Four Riders of the Apocalypse, and then spread it through the ranks of gnollkind down the years. And put in a little bit from the gnolls' viewpoints in the Story Hour. The PCs didn't roll a die, but the players laughed a lot and they all felt really cool and powerful. [/QUOTE]
