Message: <blockquote data-quote="MACLARREN" data-source="post: 5731109" data-attributes="member: 12288">Our group has a lot of experienced players that have been playing from the 80's so there is always something.  I DM one local campaign and know that no matter how hard we prepare you better be prepared to go any direction with some of our sessions.  Winging it on the fly has lead to some of the best though.We have one player in particular that is king of coming up with brilliant ideas.  Problem is, detail oriented and can drag it down from time to time but some ideas are phenominal.  In one campaign based on Rome and establishing colonies in the new world with teleport gates etc. , there is one session that really stands out.  It has been a while so details of the mission are a little gray now.  We had to enter city that we had under siege without them knowing.  So to do this, we came up with the plan to trebochet in with an ionvisibility sphere and feather fall together so no one would know.  Worked great.  The acting leader of the house was there and and our DM is known for wanting to make up unique and custom magic items.  In this particular campaign, we all had a legacy item.  At certain levels, these items gained more powers and each was unigue to the item we all had.  Well, we completed our mission and were making our way out of the city.  Our legacy items were able to reveal there location within 1 mile or something like that.  This guy chose shurikens as his.  He was able to stealthily get close to the head of the house and planted a shuriken on him.   He then escaped out immediately with a fly or something that he was able to do very quickly.  That part is gray.  When he got back to us, he says to the DM, we are aiming that trebochet at this and shooting immediately.  The DM loved it and never saw it coming and this guy was to play a very big part going forward.  We had a chance to hit him and it was good but the shot missed.  However, that idea played out was way better then I am making it sound.  This is part of the game and great ideas make great sessions.  Have fun at whatever.  Rules are guidelines and think outside the box.  Play on</blockquote>
