I've got a rep!

[ThirdWizard]

"Can play insanity really well"

and

"didn't see that coming!"

 

[Crothian]

"the animals will live"

I'm not the type of DM that goes after the familar or the animal companion

That made me think of this. Guess you wouldn't do that.

Heh, I think I'm to quick to make house rules/change the game.

Player1: Can I edit the Paladin's code?
Me (reclining in chair): Yup
Player2: Can we play Gestalt?
Me: Sure, EVERYONE! Your god speaks, add another classes benefits up the fifth level for it. IM me for details later tonight.

YOu get the idea, it's not really a bad thing, sometimes.

I tend to find ways to challenge the PCs and mitigate their really cool toys/abilities. An example:

The PCs were in an underground hobgoblin stronghold and had been fireballing bad guys with impunity for 2 sessions with a wand of fireballs (20 or so charges left). They found the big bad hobgoblin leader in his throne room, with a helpless elf girl chained up right in front of him. They were a bit ticked off they couldn't use the wand on him.

I have a tendency to only dish out cool abilities and level ups after the characters experience horrible psychological trauma. I believe my players' common joke is "You can never feel love again...gain a level."

Nope, but if the PC shapechanges into one they are toast!!

Remembered another one: My players all know that I've got a terrible poker face

 

[Greylock]

Not my rep, but something I'll always associate with alsih2o...

"Cleave is only good at low levels? Not in my game."

I hate it when the DM drops clues like that and I don't pay attention.

There is a fiend behind every curtain - not me behind the screen, but Arch-Devils and Demon Princes. I'm big on Hellish and Abyssal politics and their role in the prime.
