So the fighter is having an ale in the tavern when...

his prankster gnome friend decides to give him a hotfoot with a tindertwig. What skills would you use to determine success/failure of this action?

Sloppy. Absolutely sloppy. Any old person can use a tindertwig, come on... where's the ingenuity in that?

- playing gnomish illusionsists since 1995
 

As one who has been playing gnomish pranksters since [all the way back in] 1994, I still find the "tindertwig/toe" gag funny. Of course I still think the bowling-ball-on-the head gag (popularized by the Three Stooges, Leslie Nielson and a million others) is still, and will always be, funny. Maybe gnomish illusionists have a more refined sense of humor.
 

What you want is to slip a red wriggler into his ale, or put a stinktar bottle under his stool. :D

Yes the tindertwig would be a Sleight vs spot, but I advise something better then that, an orc could do that, andi t isn't even clever, even if it is funny.

I say something like a vial of something that heats up in the stool cusion or an illusion of the cushion, with some Stink tar in it's place.
 

I hope my 2 gnome players don't read this....

Last Sunday, one of my gnomes used suggestion to make the other gnome pinch the butt of the party leader, a female paladin of Helm.

The suggestee got smacked for subdual damage across the top of his head by the flat of said paladin's sword...

Then there was the time that same HADOKEN loving gnome illusionist looked at our party paladin, apprently raising his hand in the 'universal' gesture for 'Should I fireball that group of adventurers that just rode past us?'

She responded with a nod that was supposed to mean 'Yes, they radiate evil, stay clear of them'.

At which point.....HADOKEN! + fighting.

In a PBEM I'm in as a gnome illusionist, the party's Paladin (a virgin, no less) is falling in love with the half-elf bard, and vice versa. Beyond the illusions of the gnome projectile vomiting at the slightest instance of affection, they're both deathly afraid of going further while the gnome's around, as he's already threatened to reproduce their 'activities' above the city in 30ft representataions for everyone to see.

Beyond that, ever try to talk to the head of the city guard as a paladin with green hair?
