[QUOTE="Romnipotent, post: 1875670, member: 23770"] ME: "Ice Substituted Fireball!" DM: "It reacts with the Frire Elementals creating a ploom of steam, 40ft in radius, blowing over the party" goes for 9d6 for blowback. ME: "WHAT?!" This generates into me explaining "MEGA SORCERER TACTIC #1!!!" involving a Summon Monster and a ice Fireball creating a MEGA radius of fire damage, 20ft with 9d6cold and 40ft with an extra 9d6fire (18d6 in 20ft total) for two level 9 sorcerers (that we had in the party). He was annoyed that we were playing smartly. [COLOR=Green]The DM then retracted his idea, for it would be abused more than a cute puppy with ADHD.[/COLOR] He never liked it, even when I played ultimate utility sets and could feed 60 people a day, and had that many followers with me. I guess its SDMS, but a first timer DM asked us to use our Charisma mod instead of Wisdom for a will save because the monster said "The save DC is Cha based." This has since been cleared up. as for the dozen tarrasque guards, I've done similar. Animated Tarrasque statues! That and the player sounds a little too stubborn, and the DM maybe too silly. But never leave over something so trivial. [/QUOTE]
