[QUOTE="cyrusduane, post: 1658113, member: 18236"] Just quick note about the effect in the campaign of rolling that high. Personally, I love to have the actions of my players come back into game further down the line. (They love it too) Be it the PCs who start the initial tale or NPC witnesses, there is ample chance of the party hearing the tall tale version of the story in the not-too-distant future. The players overhear the following in a town 2 days away- " The guy, I think his name was Cleot, was almost 10 feet tall with muscles the size of Brigar's Anvil. There was at least a dozen bards dressed in eastern silks there playing music while the guy was tumbling all circus-like around the place. He was moving so fast everyone swore it looked like there was 3 of him and he was going under chairs and tables that people were at with out them even being the wiser. Some woman was so suprised by this great man going all about that they dropped their sleeping baby. Before the woman had even noticed that he baby was falling, the Man caught the child and returned it unharmed and still asleep to her husband. I swear, my wife's cousin was there to see it herself! " (Butcher the Pc's name, stretch the event and your gold. If you prey upon a fear of the common people, in this case child endangerment, it makes the story that more believable. ) Further away, the story might involve a building catching on fire, the PC tumbling into the building, rescuing people and then tumbling right back to performing as if nothing even happened. Maybe I should start a folklore/tall-tale thread. (How to use them in game to reward and entertain PCs...) [/QUOTE]
