The Munchkin Player Came Whining...

[Stormrunner]

Anyone else go "Gee, now I want to stat up a half-dragon half-fiend werebear paragon frost giant with an ax and Improved Sunder"?

Only speedbump is there doesn't seem to be an official "paragon frost giant" class. I'm thinking of having it, as the third-level ability, grant Powerful Build so the giant can wield an oversized weapon (just to, y'know, add even more bonuses to the Sunder attack...).

Isn't the Paragon epic template in the SRD? That was what I was thinking. You know, the one that gets the +13 or whatever to all of its rolls?

And yeah, I'm sure that any of my players who read that were just glad that there were SOME things I didn't throw at them. (Half-Fiend HD-Advanced Displacer Beast? Yes. Half-Dragon HD-Advanced Gorgons? Ohhhhh yes.)

And you know, that's honestly what I love about D&D. I love Grim Tales, and I love M&M 2E, and between those two systems, I can probably make any game I want, but there's something about being able to say, "Yes, my half-dragon worg has a high enough intelligence to take levels in Druid, and when shifted into human form, it uses a brilliant energy elf-bane sickle," that hits my powergaming happy-button. It's got so much crunch, so much granularity.

I'll post future stuff in the song parody thread. Glad people liked it.

Well played!

That was incredible! I shall dub it the theme song of my next campaign.

"The Highwayman", by Alfred Noyes. Loreena McKennitt does a really good version of it on one of her CDs.

Just for those who want specifics here, to help find it and listen, the album is called "The Book of Secrets." Her rendition of "The Highwayman" is track 5.

Firing up Winamp here right now.

I once had that song on single track repeat for nearly two months.

Fantastic poem, wonderful arrangement... so I could hear it very clearly when I switched in your words...

-Hyp.

An old friend of mine in school did the same thing once. You could hear it through the walls of the dorm....lovely song but it started to get a bit old after a while.

You lucky chap!

Just got back from the show - 4th row just off center at the Chicago Civic Opera House - and I had to keep my self from giggling and singing "his ghost-touch vorpal thinblade" during "The Highwayman".

Great show, by the way. Highly recommended!
