[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 665914, member: 1656"] [b]Re: Sheesh[/b] Whoa, careful where you point the M word! I happen to agree that the golfbag makes a lot of sense, and don't feel it has to be a munchkin tactic. Bob the fighter's been adventuring for a couple of years, has a +2 sword, and meets a wererat. He eventually hacks it down, but wounds that should have stopped it in its tracks hardly slowed it down, and Bob takes a few nasty bites. When he gets back to town, someone points out that for werebeasts, you can't fight them properly unless you use silver. So Bob buys a silver dagger, just in case. A while later, he accidentally intrudes on a faerie ceremony, and the Sprite King's Royal Guards shrug off every blow Bob can swing. He's Geased and released, eventually, and after fulfilling the Quest, he returns once more to his home tavern and recounts his tale. "Aye," an old-timer informs him. "Steel's no good against the Fey - Cold Iron is all they fear." That's it, Bob decides, never again. He tracks down a couple of bards and a sage or two, and systematically goes through every story of creatures with special vulnerabilities. Trolls - fire. Vampires - garlic, wooden stakes. Basilisks - mirrors. Rakshasas - blessed crossbow bolts. Shambling Shoggoths - piccolos. Some of the stories may be just that... but by Pelor, if they're true, Bob will never be caught unprepared again! Is Bob a munchkin? Or just a fighter who's been burned by DR a couple of times, and has decided to do something about it? -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
