[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 7652163, member: 3887"] Can I add my new favorite NPC: Golden Arm (the junky monk)? It stated innocently enough. My friend's 10 year-old son, who just joined our AD&D campaign, wanted a monk henchman for his druid. The following happens: [B]Player A:[/B] What kind of monk hires themselves out for money? [B]Player B:[/B] The kind that really needs money, obviously. [B]Me:[/B] Like a monk with a drug habit. [B]Player A:[/B] So a junky monk? [B]Me:[/B] OK. What are the chances the druid can find a junky monk this afternoon? Higher is better <rolls d20> Natural 20! The druid stands before a heretofore unnoticed monastery with several monks sparring in the practice yard. One monk keeps looking around nervously. He's a good fighter, but pale, sweaty, and a bit twitchy. As it so happens, he's looking for work! [B]Player C: (the son):[/B] Hail master monk. I am in need of a henchman who will one day get Quivering Palm. What is your name?" [B]Me: (thinking for a second):[/B] Golden Arm. A student of the Poppy Boxing style! By the end of the night his martial art had morphed into Junk-Sick Poppy Boxing, which is like the reverse of Jackie Chan's Drunken Style; you fight better the longer it's been since you've had a fix (downside; you also start stealing from your party). So far Golden Arm hasn't done too much (good or ill), except borrow 100 GP from the druid and buy "Infernal Horse" (perhaps some sort of Figurine of Wondrous Power?) from a back-alley apothecary on Lesser Dis. Yes, it's mildly inappropriate, but it's nowhere near as corrupting as a few hours on the Internet... [/QUOTE]
