Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herschel" data-source="post: 4838197" data-attributes="member: 78357">I've been teh "corrupter of youth" for many years now, going through a couple of long-term relationships that had kids too. I started my son and then-GF's son when they were 6. About 8 years later, my GF had three sons. One of the favorite stories STILL is in my 1E/2E hybrid on the Isle of Dread. My son was playing a rogue, her other boys playing their characters and her 6-year-old playing his elven Magic User/Thief. (He wanted Magic Missile, Spider Climb and to sneak around with a big stick.) There was an encounter I didn't think they'd find and was happy about because I didn't think they could handle it. I had beefed it up thinking I could send them back that way later. They found it. They explore a cave. The rogue "sneaks" in and sees a "sleeping" Green Dragon. The 6-year-old does his Spider Climb on to the ceiling and he sees the green. It opens its eyes and looks right at the rogue. I ask them what they want to do. The 6-year-old says "I need to save (the thief). I jump down and hit it with my big stick!" Dex check to pull his staff and release/jump towards the dragon.  Natural 20. I had a crit chart based on percentile. 00 - Quadruple damage and destruction of a body part. Roll body part die. Head. Needless to say, the little one was the hero. He even got a wish out of the treasure pile. He wished for 50 donkeys to haul the treasure. They got the everything, including the furniture, art and copper pieces. When I asked him why he wanted the furnishings he said " 'cause we killed a dragon and want to be comfortable".</blockquote>
