At one time, a game session was quite combat- and zombie- heavy, and we talked about that (in the silly way we usually do): the DM couldn't throw zombies at us for all eternity, after all, sooner or later they wouldn't be a challange any more. He replied that you could make monsters stronger now, with 3e's advancement rules. One of us replied "yes, what you wanna do? Give them a magic stick with a nail in it?" Since then, that was a running gag: We soon discovered just that: a +1 stick with a nail in it (we kept that long as a sort of mascot). Later, when the campaign turned epic, we even found a +10 stick with a nail in it (which was a very, very expensive joke). Of course, we sold that one to a weapons collector ;-)We also had the Glorious Chair Leg of Radiance: Finding torches somewhat unwieldy (all the lighting and having to relight them when a wind blows - it usually does when you need that light the most...) we decided to enspell something with Continual Flame. We wanted it to be something we could pass around (so one of our weapons was right out), and since we invested money in it and intended to use it for quite some time, we wanted it to be pretty. And so we went to the towns only store and looked around. The best thing we found was the leg of an old chair, which the shop owner broke off and treated so we wouldn't catch splinters off it. Then we CF'ed the thing and had a the most valourus chair leg that ever went on adventure.</blockquote>
