[MENTION=27539]bbjore[/MENTION]; that is deliciously evil.. I may try something along those lines. I think one time or another I mentioned they "passed" a check, but normally I just confused them. As for the notes that's awesome. I try not to include those as it often makes that player seem evil but you seem to have flipped that around. I approve
[MENTION=68954]Dan'L[/MENTION]; I love it when your playing and you see through the DM's plans. Its nice to unravel something big and get the upper hand. And I always make sure if one of my friends DM's to supply him with fun little mysteries to feed the group while I play
I just hint of course.
[MENTION=2]Piratecat[/MENTION]; That's a good idea as well! With a good amount of guile that could really turn a party around and lead to some confusion.
[MENTION=71571]DracoSuave[/MENTION]; Agreed
[MENTION=27897]Ryujin[/MENTION]; I'd say working on the fly like that is also great practice for the DM. Lets him stretch and evolve his abilities.
[MENTION=67954]moxcamel[/MENTION]; Well its when you seem most predictable you pull the switch card and reverse it. After I did this once I did it again, of course they all thought I was full of it. And then Ben was the saboteur; I've never seen them get knocked out cold that fast haha. Silly adventures, thinking they've "got" the DM all figured out.
[MENTION=72670]Raunalyn[/MENTION]; I find DM's in that rut of anti-player hood need to calm down sometimes... Or get even. For me one of my players (when I was still a green DM) used two scrolls of polymorph to I) change into a Balor, then II) a Balor with green eyes (so the timer reset to a minuscule change and therefore permanently). Instead of getting mad as he'd done this before I had Asmodeus summon him to serve him forever in hell. Then some games later I had Steven the Balor come and stir up some asswhoop ;P
[MENTION=83870]Kingreaper[/MENTION]; not with corn starch and red food colouring! Add in a few drama classes and Orcus wouldn't even know!
[MENTION=76945]Thatwackyned[/MENTION], [MENTION=27897]Ryujin[/MENTION], [MENTION=6667124]ffy[/MENTION]; I'd have to agree, it would probably end in a little punishment. Or eternal damnation
Or yes the complete shift of alignment and a warped view. Maybe as a DM I'd suggest while that happened X kobolds appeared attacking your friends... Only it was the Evil God empowering and tricking you to murder your friends.
[MENTION=72670]Raunalyn[/MENTION]; fair as well; there seems to be an abundance of DM's on power trips and it takes time to get a good one. I remember once an old DM of mine just told me when I went to subdue a child I "tripped" and crushed him to death thereby forcing a town to hang me. No roll, no reason, just for him to do and he said it was his right as DM to say how things went.
