[QUOTE="Aries_Omega, post: 1592186, member: 15693"] [b]Stupidity has a name.....and it's a Halfling[/b] Where to begin.....this one player had a halfing that was the "DM's perpetual beating pole". Every nasty and dirty trick I was going to do to the party this guy's halfing Ranger/Rouge....Barabis fell for. Even the ones that the party both IC and OC said....hey...thats a trap he fell into. Only once was it not a trap. A few examples include.... When attacked by aquatic ogres that included one sorcerer/cleric w/ a aquatic wolverine familar (yes....a swimming wolverine). He got out of his hiding spot....put away his bow and he attacked the familar with a halfling sized longsword and shortsword combo. Miss with the longsword and hit....minimal with the shortsword. Mind you he was close enough that he would have hit with a ranged attack but far enough that it took him a bit to close in for melee.

If you don't know....would you go there by yourself? Anyhow he was attacked by the hangman's tree and the party hearing his screams went back and fought it. Barbabis got into SO much trouble...more then can be told in one post that is that the party cleric refused to heal him more then to 0 or 1 HP...that way he couldn't do anything except ride in a AD&D version of a "snugglie" that the party's tank wore.
