[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3626378, member: 29746"] Great story! And congratulations on achieving that moment- it will never come again, due to the ephemeral nature of our hobby, but you may achieve even greater ones later. :cool: My own Epic game has featured several such moments in its six-year history, with each character being given an "epic moment" to truly shine- but it does take a great deal of time and effort delving into the character to achieve them. Events like the party's fighter/tank getting to hear some of the first cries of his baby nephew, after having brought a soul for the child directly from the Gardens where they are grown; The party's Sorceress actually [i]rescuing members of the race she hated for destroying her homeland[/i] from a horde of orc barbarians and their Epic necromancer/priest of the Death god/Mystic Theurge puppetmaster, after taking on and annihilating said army with her friends; the party's PC dragon taking her first flight as a recognized and properly Named member of dragon society with her recently-freed parents... these are the things legends are made of. Gaming was, in my view, made for great moments like this. They are memories that last a lifetime, even though the events in question never really happened. :) It always feels a privilege to be a part of it, as a DM or player. Hopefully the other members of your party will be able to experience such moments for themselves and their characters as the campaign continues. Again, congratulations! [/QUOTE]
