[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 252020, member: 4601"] Hello, my name is Tyler, and I am a weak-willed DM. I've allowed my players to play orc/half-dragons with 28 Strength. I've given out 200,000 gp Magic Items to fourth level PC's. I allowed a player to play a Lich. I allowed a player to play a Paladin with the Berserker kit, and then proceed to wear the skull of a Baatezu into battle (complete with armor make from his cured skin!) I broke down screaming when my PC's (a 6th level Wild Mage, a 6th level Paladin (the one mentioned above), and a 7th level Enchanter) single handedly defeated a 16th level Drow Crusader and his henchmen, six Level 6/6 Fighter/Mages. After that they defeated his "Liutenant", a very well equipped 18th level Fighter. I once allowed my PC's to murder a countess and frame a group of bandits. I fudged die rolls to keep an idiotic Jedi from dying in a Star Wars campaign. In another Star Wars campaign, I allowed a drunken bounty hunter with a beat up X-Wing to destroy the Death Star, kill Darth Vader, and then shoot down Luke Skywalker and Han Solo just for the hell of it. I let another player in the same campaign play a massive cyborg who carried around the shield generator from a medium transport on a repulsorcart behind him, effectively blocking all blaster fire (except for ship weapons, e-webs, etc) from hitting him. And, in the ultimate act of a weak-willed DM, I recently volunteered to run a game of drunken strip D&D for an attractive female gamer friend who is about to celebrate her 21st birthday... on the other hand, who couldn't resist that... :) Of course, I've been at the DM thing for about six years now, and people keep coming back... so I must be doing something right. <sigh> [/QUOTE]
