[QUOTE="Melan, post: 3945102, member: 1713"] Snarking aside, the "D&D gameplay fan fiction" in this thread is pure gold, all five of them. I particularly liked RangerWickett's example - capturing the tone of a game that hasn't even been released yet so perfectly has to be worth a few extra points. ;) Also, for the record, 2d6 Constitution poison is freaking deadly in 3e. Greenblood oil is a bad joke (and is probably better off if it is replaced by some regular hp-dealing variety), but 2d6 Con can kill very, very effectively. The scenario may also have played out slightly differently if there was an ogre with those goblins - and ogres are [i]disturbingly[/i] common in low level 3e adventures if you go by the standard encounter charts. What's even scarier, an ogre can one-shot most 1st or 2nd level characters. When we were playing low level 3e, ogres were responsible for almost as many PC casualties than all other monster types combined. Be careful with the ogres, kids! :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
