The evoker. Being the one with the worst Fortitude save (on average) the spellslinger is most likely to get drunk first. And hey, look, drunkeness only reduces Dex and Wis, not Int! Lucky arcanist, eh?

Of course, an evoker is also the one most likely to use Prestidigitation to make the fighter's vodka taste like weak wine. :smallbiggrin:

Well, depending on sterotypicalness, my vote goes for the Barbarian.

The Barb WANTS to get his kill on, and thats why he starts the fight. Thats the whole reason hes in the bar, hes LOOKING for a fight.

It depends on who discovers first that he got pickpocketed by the rogue in the corner. :smallamused:

Doesn't matter who starts the fight. All that matters is that someone (namely, the barbarian) is going to eventually split the evoker's head open and someone's gonna make the quip, "Hey now, Krusk. You've gotta have an...open mind!" *ba-bum-bum!*

I'd have to say the barbarian. They all have the ability to do so, but I think the first one is the Barbarian.

Well, this is the cutest thing I've seen in a long while. Awesome.

Well, the question is too vague to give a definite answer. The evoker would get drunk first, the barbarian might just start a fight for the hell of it, and the fighter would immediately get involved.

Of course, if anyone is going to burn the inn down it'll be the caster. The other two will just get in fights.

A fighter, a barbarian, and an evoker walk into an inn.

The barman immediately triples the price of drinks and food.

Personally I prefer:

A fighter, a barbarian, and an evoker walk into a bar. The rogue ducks.

Warm milk works better.

Well, the barbarian would probably start the fight, because he believes that the price of grog is too high for this particular city. And he does not like the way the evoker looked at him as he was walking in the door.

Evoker is probably thinking 'If I could get that barbarian drunk enough, he will probably help me out on this (errand) I have to do". Naturally, the normal barbarian is probably going to have CON as his 2nd highest stat, so that may take some time.

The fighter is preoccupied with the lovely serving wench (LSW) to notice the equidistant sizing up of the barbarian and the evoker. See, the fighter decided not to dumpstat CHA and thinks that he can bluff the LSW into his bedchamber.

So. The Barbarian gets upset at the Evoker, and rolls Init. Sadly, the poor Barbarian was not wise enough to put a good score into Dex, so he goes on a 4. The Evoker, seeing this also rolls init, and gets a 13. See, the Evoker was smart and used his flaw (non-combatant) to get the jump on his opponent (Improved Initiative) in combat situations. The Evoker has had a bit to drink however, stumbles on some debris on the ground, and fumbles the attack roll on the Scorching Ray targeting the barbarian. The d% tells us that he hits the LSW's flammable dress, and she bursts into flames. The Fighter takes notice tothis, and tries to put out the flames by jumping on her. Sadly, for the LSW, the fighter was too dumb (INT and WIS as dump stat) to remember that he has spiked armor on, and kills the LSW with one blow.

The Fighter wishes to avenge the death of his LSW with rolling init. He gets a 5; and is actually surprised at this; which goes hand in hand with this being a round that he cannot attack on.

Now, the Barbarian rages, and charges. One thing the evoker did not do was prepare a spell that can be used to sum up his enemies abilities. The barbarian charges the evoker, and strangely, gets 5 attacks on his charge. The Evoker is now a pasty residue on the quickly burning bar table.

The fighter, clearly seeing that he is out matched; tries to put out the flames with a barrel full of what looks to be water. Odd; the fighter is taken aback! The barrel of water ignites as soon as it hits the flames! Stupid fighter, the barrel was full of some form of alcoholic drink!

The barbarian then charges out of the tavern to save his arse, and the fighter tries, in vain, to get people out of the flam engulfed bar. Seems they are rather scared of him, as he still has the blood and bits of flesh from the LSW that he crushed some time ago.

So.. that is why we NEVER put those 3 persons into the same bar at the same time! :smallsmile:

fighter would probably be the last to start anything, much less finish it.
barbarian would start it I imagine, since he's the most likely to get picked on/discriminated against.
evoker would be the one to start the fire, since (s)he would be casting fireball at the earliest convenience, the others would only destroy the place through something in the environment like a lamp in the line of fire.

depend of race of each class

eg a dwarfen fighter, half-orc barbarian, and elf or human evoker would be differnt from a gnome fighter, half-elf barbarian, and halfling evoker

if it was the first group go like this, dwarf starts drinking makes a joke about the half-orc, half-orc trys to punch dwarf but misses, Since no one likes orcs, the evoker whos wasted, fires a fireball at the orc, but forgot it was a area spell, it totals everyone.

Whoever rolls highest initiative :smallsmile:

Remember: punches to the left, chairs to the right, and lightning bolts strike whoever's winning at the moment :smallwink:

Ganurtath, you are such a geek.

Well obvously the evoker would have something along the lines of an 'extra crispy' spell. Of course, the Fighter is most likely to have taken Improvised Weapon. And there is also that one PrC... Drunken Master. Besides, he could be one of those fighters with anger problems. Not enough to go barbarian but a little alcohol can go a ways

Besides, everyone knows that Barbarians are happy drunks.

Who ever multi-classed as a Monk and took Drunken Master.

The old man in the corner. It's always the old man. He threw a tomato he found in his pocket, or tossed his beer, just right, to hit the most dangerous people in the room. The old men are always the initiator of action.
