Nah, he had a longer attention span than most PCs.

Why am i thinking "Dumbest Eberron Character Ever?"

You, sir, win twenty internets.

Why twenty? Well, it's a complex id- ooh, shiny!

Because you didn't play in Tormenta. Petrynia is a country famed for liars. Fortuna for the supertitious people, Pondsmania is a wonderland spinoff where you're likely to end up lost for a century and discover too late that you do make up for the lost aging time when you leave. All dragon types have a "king", the most powerful member of their kin, and the king lich dragon does laundry and basketweaving for a friendly neighborhood necromancer whose daughter's cooking is known to kill large amounts of wildlife. And they are all connected into a single plot your player is unraveling.

Nah. Can't be. PC's aren't Canadians. They're winners...

....Now I'm thinking of Schizophrenia and ADD wrapped up into one.:cool:

Also it was just the setting of the video. Everyone thinks Eberron is steampunk in nature, but it has a lot more in common with dieselpunk.

Nah, he doesn't kill and loot the bodies enough. =3 Funny though!

Don't be ridiculous! I, for example have always played my characters in a way that's-

Whoa! New swords!

PC's? Hell I live real life this way, except with less travel and more crippling poverty.

I dont get alot done..

To be fair, I'm pretty sure you can see the janitor dude in the background while he's riding that. Also, he didn't even kill the president!

If he was on the boat, the DM sucks. He obviously wasn't following WBL, because he destroyed a whole boat, and he barely looted anything! =p

It was clearly a Drow boat, with all the equipment turning non-magical once removed.

PC's will loot the strangest things if they THINK it is valuable, important to the plot...or if it is just funny...
and sometimes...they have NO reason what so ever!

I've had a player loot (=shave) an enemy's hair because they liked the colour and wanted it for a wig.

This video barely even scratches the surface :smallbiggrin:

DM: In the distance, you see Peter, your sister's ex-boyfriend.
PC: I charge!
DM: What?!
PC: He broke my sister's heart, he will pay for his transgressions!
DM: Ummm. *shifty eyes* You actually failed a spot check. He's not actually Peter.
PC: I rolled 17 on my grapple check! 16 damage! .... What?

Definitive moment: Toss up between-

"Hey, that looks like fun!"
"In my defense, he sure looked like Peter."
and
"I was perfectly within my rights to sink that ship."

I cannot dispute the OP's evidence. That shows alot of PC's phycological make up.

Side note. Kids in the Hall had on of the best theme songs ever.

Edit.

Does this make Buddy a retired adventurer? He did own a bar and look at all the stories he had. He did end up burning down his bar for the ensurence mony.

Or he put the items on the boat in his hammerspace like he did with the gun.

Even if was the case, the weapon will still be drawn from his hammerspace. Well that is until someone else from his party mentions he forgot it. Though it does look like a solo adventure...

Plus, while the mistaken identity was unfortunate, at least he remembered an NPC's name!

I tore out a tooth from a skeletal snake beast once.

The DM let me use it as a wand.

same here, though that one only has three players

really? it would take you that long!?

actually in truth i love my players' short attention spans, it lets me improvise everything remember nothing and still pretend theres continuity.

And they are all connected into a single plot your player is unraveling.
You forgot the acid blood storms,Arsenal,the goddess trapped in the statue(ok maybe not anymore),the kingdom ruled by one of the dragon kings,the one where you can't use magic,the one who couldn't care less about the gods,the desert full of portals and where there are some crazy creatures,the goblinoid army gathered around a so far invincible bugbear general,and spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't read the romances:the fall of Glorienn making the elves without a major god,and the rise of Khallyadranoch who suppodly was written out of reality back to his position as God of Dragons.Oh yeah,and the area of Tormenta in Tamu-Ra is gone for real and of course,Arsenal!The guy with a giant robot for a base,collects magical items to power said base,is the only survivor of a world with endless wars that he won and forced near everybody to work in tandem to make another giant robot to oppose his...

Well,he is not getting any bonus XP for roleplaying!
And I love my player short-attention spans too.At least I can say a lot of stupidity and they won't care(or just re-introduce the actual villain NPC that they killed a couple of minutes ago as the same guy,just kicking half their asses.And they won't notice of course)

Psh, what about the army of roman minotaurs with the best navy around and their god making official the fact elves are their bitches? And his head is always ON FIRE.
Oh, and Jurassic Park.
