[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 1953449, member: 20931"] Agreed, and I do so love to hear these inventive uses. :) Another one, from my Dragon Star campaign: One of my players created a Fairy Sorceress with a focus on charm spells. Problem came about during combat. even with her 'staff' of Magic Missles, she was doing minimal damage while watching her comrades hose enemies left and right with powerful energy weapons. Our mechanist took it upon himself to fix this. He went through the books looking for simple Tiny weapons (using 3.0 rules). He found what equated to a palm sized tube that fired rocket powered bullets. His plan: Modify it so that the fairy now has a shoulder fired rocket launcher. Since it was designed to be held in the palm of the hand, there was no backblast to fry her wings. It was too good to let go, so now she has one. She has to make a Freefall check if she uses it while flying, but hey, nothing's perfect... The scary part: The heat seeking rounds ignore cover bonuses when used against the appropriate creatures. With that feature, she's more accurate then the fighters, and doing 1d12 damage! (The fighters prefer their 3d8 blasters). [/QUOTE]
