Topic says it all, really.

If you have an interesting story to tell, post it on this thread.

Ever conned a king out of his kingdom? Turned the BBEG into your best friend? Made the DM cry? Caused a TPK via nuclear explosion? We wanna hear about it!

Once my DM set us up the MacGuffin, a black box with no writing on it. My character freaked out, saying we shouldn't touch it at all, and that no one should leave with it. The druid decided it would be a good idea to drag it up from the mineshaft. I wouldn't have any of that.

I fireballed the mineshaft and ran outside. The PC didn't know it was me, so instantly starting attacking the party's wizard (me being the dubious Gnome Sorcerer/Barbarian) for fireballing him. The Wizard launched a counterattack, and got the fighter/barbarian and I within the range of his spell. So we melted the cube-nabber, then ran down the wizard and beat him.

After slaying half the party, the Fighter (who was not there for the session) returns after taking a potty break finds the burninated corpse and a bloody mess, former compadres, and the remainder of his party walking into the sunset, going to get a beer.

I lassoed a dragon once.

Of course, it was a Medium blue dragon, and I mostly did it just to be able to contribute to the fight (Monk + no ranged weapon + flying dragon = :smallfrown: ), but at least it gave me an excuse to show off my maxed Use Rope skill. :smallbiggrin:

My first character, Bardy Mc.Bardbard, married the princess, fought about 30 something dragons, survived 14ish DM deaths (rock slides, spontaneous combustion, lightning strikes, etc.), killed the 3 snake gods of death, destruction, and doom, lead a mighty army against the forces of moderately evilness, caused several continents to sink into the sea, became a vampire, chowed down on a titan, got turned into a poodle, became emperor of the Underdark (while still a poodle), got "fixed", got returned to normal, was run out of his kingdom, returned home and settled down to raise pigs. His wife then left him.


His stats where 9 Str, 12 Dex, 11Con, 8 Int, 13 Wis, 14 Cha.
I got into soooooo many arguments with the DM that ended with "He's going to die next round anyway! Let me reroll!"

It wasn't totally cool for many reasons but I loved this, the entire reason behind my build.


Tonight we played a session and had to assault a dragons lair to drive off the gnoll inhabitants (young dragon was ousted and is now on our side.). Guards aren't much of a problem for my assassin and our trickery tactics. My beguiler/assassin decides he can take down the head cleric himself easier
than trying to fight our way to him, so he calls upon his hat of disguise and looks like an orc slave with a delivery for the cleric (ECL9 or 10 evil cleric). I get escorted all the way through the sentries and up to the big man himself, then I pop the top on my eversmoking bottle* and spider climb up the cave wall. A few ghost sounds here and there have the minions fighting each other and it's just me and the cleric, who just so happens to be busy messing around with the mirror images I conjured up. Sneak down the side of the cavern wall and pull off an assassination worthy of Assassins Creed.:smallbiggrin: Well, actually the death attack failed but I rolled a critical on it so I dealt 32 dmg in a single blow at lvl 7 (as a beguiler!). Next round is a heaping helping of inevitable defeat.

Now: Step 1, loot body for magical goodies Step 2, throw body at troll guard 10 feet away Step 3, relax as the boss' minion finishes off the boss (-25 hp or some-such before the troll even attacked). Then SESSION OVER, we took a break then so I need to get back past the minions and out to freedom.

*I always use the bottle because I had goggles crafted for me that allow me to see through fogs:smallcool: , but no darkness unfortunately.

My 19th level favored soul of Raziel with the help of 4 Throne Arcons distracted Asmodeousl and 8 Pit Fiends long enough for the party to steal an essential port key to Arcadia. He lasted 8 rounds; it was a really bad ass fight. After the party got back to Arcadia they tried to rez him but were unable to do so. The party goes back to the material world to tell his surviving child (mother and daughter were killed when the blood war ran into the material plane), who was being raised in a pelor temple that his father had died. However the were in for a huge surprised as they walked into the temple to see him (a risen martyr) reading the bards first published work to his kid. He just looked up waved and continued reading.

One time, Windows managed to delete the Recycle Bin. Where do you even recover that from? (The answer is "the registry", by the way).

Oh, player character. Well, one just beat about seven regenerations of the same lich with nothing more than an enchanted baseball bat. Okay, he had a lot of help, but one-shotting a lich with an Overwhelming Smite/Improved Trip combo is pretty awesome. Doing it repeatedly is even more awesome.

Awesome thing..... my level 3 or 4 warblade climbed a weird land dragon with crazy dr and killed him with repeated applications of mountain hammer (I had help from a cleric and a spirit shaman, but did most of the job, then we ate its heart in memory of the fallen, not a good idea, afterwards, we had armor crafted from the skin and bones, and capes of resistance from the soft underbelly skin, it was pretty awesome.

In no particular order...


- Part of my lvl 6 Dwarven Crusader's squad got attacked while he was away, and one member ran away after only a few hits, leaving the mage completely without meatshield. He arrives just in time to slaughter the beasts emphatically. Then, when the poor coward finally showed up, I Revitalizing Strike'd him. Right in the face. Yeah, 7 damage and 23 healing, good times.

- My lvl 4 Psion got ambushed by an NPC Psion, took some impressive damage from Crystal Shard in the first round. So I'm bleeding, and buffless, and have no squad to support me. However, I had Overchannel and Talented (and this was the first psionic character any of us had played so we weren't using it right), so when I countered with a 7pp Ego Whip... followed by a second when they failed their save and were dazed... yeah, most impressive turnaround I've seen, even if it depended on sketchy rules.

- Lockhart. lvl3 core-only Full Orc Barbarian1/Fighter2 (and has since leveled as Wilderness Rogue), uses the Improved Trip / Spiked Chain / Combat Reflexes awsmness. But really... it's not that. I mean, yes it helps that he tends to stomp everything at this level, but the guy is just so much fun to play. He rolled amazing stats (all 14's or better on 4d6-drop-1-reroll-1s), so he's reasonably intelligent, perceptive, and charismatic, but fundamentally Orcish in his outlook. The only words I know that capture him are "hearty", "vivacious", and "expansive". The guy is unfailingly optimistic, almost always in a good mood, and genuinely cares for his "tribe" (the party). He's also perceptive in his Orcish way, and very dominant in his personality. The first time I played him, one of the players developed a strong crush on the guy, which has since come out in their character's actions too. Lockhart has no romantic interest in the character, but still, you know you're doing something right if actual people are falling in love with your fictional RP character.

Ok, 5th level I was playing a 5th level Psychic Warrior, helping the party (ranger, bard and wizard) hunt down a dragon that was menacing a local town. As we sleep, out of nowhere a CR 9 Vampire monk grapples me and begins to drink my blood. I make the save to wake up and not die horribly, then proceed to grab my sonic burst spike chain, flash it to do corrosive damage, enlarge myself and attack, expending my psionic focus. The thing DIED...again. Almost Max damage, the DM just stared openmouthed and had to give it enough hitpoints to get away as it was importiant to the story later. Then My PsiWar went back to sleep complaining about the size of the mosquitos.

My rogue pulled something similar. We were fighting a mature black dragon in a canyon. My rogue's ranged attacks were not doing much, so I climbed the canyon walls and bided my time. When the dragon made another pass at the party, coming down to bite/claw/claw/wing buffet/ wing buffet/tail swat the party fighter types, I threw a line and grapple from above to snare a wing. Rolled a natural 20, so the DM ruled I had the line wrapped around one wing. I then lept onto the dragon's back and manuevered to get a good hold on the rope close to the wing. The dragon launched into the air, taking some manuevability minuses, but otherwise flying fine. He turned his head and tried to get me with his breath weapon, but I was expecting this, so I slid down the rope to hide behind where his wing attached to its back. I made my save, but obviously didn't get my evaision ability. Hurting for hit points and not seeing any real way of surviving the situation, I took the necklace of fireballs I had and smashed them into the base of the dragon's wing. If I recall correctly, there were still 5 fireballs remaining, including two large. DM ruled that the dragon wouldn't get a reflex save in the circumstances. Combined damage was enough to drop the dragon into negative land. The fall from several hundred feet up did the rest. I, of course, did not survive the fireballs either. But it was a hell of a way to go out. Party was so impressed they even sprung for a true resurrection for my character, something we rarely ever do.

I watched a lvl 2 bard with pipes of the sewers kill my BBEG juvenile black dragon cleric (converted some of the dragon HD to cleric levels but with all the dragon goodness save for the breath weapon advancement).

The black used all the cleric spells it could (cloaked in darkness buffing the zombies) first before taking on the rat swarms hand-to-hand (the rest of the players 5-6) where there but where busy taking out the dragon's slime zombie troglodytes raised from a shrine is had desecrated to its dark god and did not even know the dragon was there for many rounds.

My original plan was to 1) smash the party and have the dragon offer them salvation through slavery/quests, 2) have then drive off the dragon at half health (started with 139HP) so it could return as a recurring bady.

But instead the bard's 3 controlled rat swarms routinely did about 12-15 damage every round. The dragon (me) rolled poorly and despite 5 natural attacks at something like +14 to hit, and 6 evil cleric levels backing him up with 4 buffed slime zombie trogs, barely fought off the swarms. I kept thinking, "OK, next round the black dragon will easily kill the swarms"....but that never happened. Right before the dragon reached the 1/2 health cutoff she rolled double critical failures on both her claw attacks in one round, which I randomized and learned they both stuck in the ground (homebrew random table) which I logically had to rule meant she was grounded all of next round to pull out his claws. Rats chew him, the rest of the party charges in and a few critical damage rolls later they kill her...along with all her slime zombies.

I had to re-read by dragon stats block over and over to see if I had missed something like DR or the like.....nope, CR 7+ killled by a lvl2 bard.

A PC in a game I was DMing had something similar happen. The party was fighting a Nightwing, and since he had forgotten to get a ranged weapon, the Goblin barbarian pulls out his rod of ropes, and manages to grappling hook the monster's wing (he rolled something insane, I don't remember what it was). As he got pulled off his feet, the party fighter managed to grab hold of the goblin's arm, and they were both lifted off the ground. The Nightwing cast "finger of death" (or some such spell) at the goblin, who failed his save and died instantly, but since the rod of ropes had a loop that goes around your hand while you fire it, he didn't fall off, but still hung there attached to it. The figter managed to crawl his way up the goblin's body, up the rope, and onto the nightwing's back, where he proceded to hack it into oblivion.

It was pretty cool.

Level 1 rogue:
I have no bludgeonding weapons and the party is fighting a chamber full of skeletons. I decide to break the legs off the table and pass them around like party favors to my siliarly ill-equipped companions, I then proceed to charge one with the now-legless table, and miss completely.

The very next around consited of the rogue pushing off the wall into a back handspring, landing to flank a skeleton with the party wizard and clubbing it to death with the butt of my crossbow.

Thats just an aweomse scene to play over in your head.

Not to detract from your player's moment, but- you missed just using the dragon's breath weapon (even with reduced advancement, breath weapons don't have to roll to hit and area attacks do 150% damage to swarms, while slashing and piercing weapons do half) or having the dragon go nom on the bard instead. The swarms only hang around as long as the pipes are being played.

Oh man, I have the flipside to that story. See, the DM's brother had this ridiculously twinked out high-level mounted combat Fighter guy, riding a Dust Twister of all things, and we were fighting this collossal dragon in a 300x300x300 cylinder arena. He gets Spiderclimb on the thing and races up the side, while everyone else peppers the beast with ranged weapons while it makes passes with its breath and spells. And, when his Dust Twister gets to the top.... he jumps.

DM: "So you jump off the 300 foot roof?"
Player: "Yes"
DM: "Without the ability to fly?"
Player: "Yes"
DM: "At the mature dragon who's trying to kill you?"
Player: "Yes... do I make it?"

On the bright side, he did 30 damage to the thing on his way past!

New level 4 character. A rogue named Perry Fenserson. We were fighting a cult of gnolls in their evil temple lair thing, in the big boss fight. My character is a defensive tricked out swashbuckler type who usually just blocks whatever is trying to kill us while the others pepper it with arrows or spells. The BBEG had some minions on his side and I left our barbarian to solo him while the rest of us battled the goons. A gnoll comes to bash in my face and my 27 AC at level 4 prevails. The next turn I feint him and score a critical sneak attack. Wooo! I feel like I actually might do damage this time. I get out my 4d6+0 to roll and all 4 of them are 6s! Why o why dice gods can I not be so lucky with stat generation? The DM describes my attack as me grabbing the gnoll by the collar of his armor, stoving my cutlass down his throat, and slicing it straight out through his chest! I think it's the only time one of my characters has ever made a mess out of another creature.

I just got back from dinner/breakfast. We started gaming at 8 PM. My lvl 6 fighter/11 Blackguard/4 Exemplar Kobold and his party took over the 1st layer of Hell. We were to overlords for a grand total of an hour and a half. Then, with Azmodeus hot on his tail and the Pact Primeval, complete with the giant ruby, on board his ship, our boss, somewhere around lvl 30 or so himself, grabbed us and we jumped to Mechanus. We have Bel's head. On a steeeeek. My kobold has his sword. But, that is how the great Kobold hero, former grand high muckymucky, Archduke Princept of the First Layer of the Nine Hells, Needle in the Hay, has begun his trip towards being a level 0 deity.

The Swordsage pictured in my avatar did a couple of awesome things. Chief among them being 'tanking' a vampire lord for several round while the rest of the party took out his demonic suppport. Then I rolled a natural 20 while using some firey manuver with my Sun Blade and promptly took his head off.

Later int hat same game, while we were defending a massive human city atop a mesa from a vast demonic/vampiric horde, my swordsage somehow ended up riding around on an air elemental blowing up Vrocks before they coud use their dance of ruin on us.

Lets see awesome things my PCs have done...

Well my level 2 warlock with no ranks in spot or listen managed to spot and kill a darkmantle about to ambush the party before the barbarian had even seen it, but one the other had earlier he did almost get killed by a pair of ordinary hawks.

My wizard, also low level, managed to be the only one in the party not to get his eyes burned out by a smoke demon thing.

And my paladin at level 7 when we had managed to find our way into a demonic temple in order to rescue the NPCs that had been captured by a group of monkey demons that had been shadowing the party since we landed on the island, managed to over 70 damage in a single attack penetrating its damage reduction and killing it even before I had finished counting the damage

The most awesome thing would have to be my level 4 Feral Kobold Barbarian holding an entire breach in the castle by himself.

We were in a whole -defend the castle- type campaign, and after they breached the gate, Tim-yik the mighty was the closest, and the fastest so quickly headed to the breach.

Backed up by a dozen or so 1st level human warriors, he stood determined (well, as detemined as a 3 foot high lizard can look) against the approaching Orcs, Goblins, and Two Ogres.

Now, my party were still a round or two away, so I had to fight on my own for a short time. My kobold charged as fast as his little feet could carry him, whipping out his Greatsword, and leaping at the Ogres.

Natural 20, followed by a Natural 20. Cleave, Natural 20, Followed by a Natural 20.

Snicker-Snack! Two Ogre heads fall to the ground with a single stroke, beckoned by a fountian of blood.

The DM ruled that the Orcs and Goblins, Shocked by the appearance of the "Tiny Demon" who slaughtered their two best with ease, started to pull back out of the courtyard for a few rounds in fear.

Ok, storytime. This one requires some explaining, bear with me.

This happened ages ago, while playing 2nd Edition. There was only one player other than me, and a DM. I was a human female transmuter, the other guy was an elven bountyhunter (thief kit - basically, a thief with less thieving skills and more fighting skills) who had been raised by my character's grandfather and father. Being raised by humans, the elf isn't exactly very elfy if you know what I mean.

So, the elf managed to start a bar fight in the inn we were staying at once (well, more than once actually, but you know what I mean). In the same bar was, for plot reasons, the crown prince of The Dwarven Empire. Mr. Elf ended up killing him without having any idea he was anything more than just a rather well equipped dwarf, thus earning himself the #1 spot on the dwarves' hit-list. The dwarves kept throwing us some quite clever ways of trying to catch the elf. I remember him spending several months as a chair because he was polymorphed, but I got him out eventually.

Anyway - much later, an adventure ends with me having the temporary service of some kind of daemon. Might have been a pit-fiend, I never knew what it was exactly. While my character is summoning up the daemon in her tower, a suspicious looking halfling came to the elf with a gift - a golden ring. Now, we had helped the halfling-province fend off an invasion some months previous, so this was not way out. He was however quite suspicious of it, so Mr. Elf thanked the halfling and came to me right away. I had the daemon contained by then, and could examine the ring. I found out that it was indeed magical, and had something to do with teleportation. We added two and two togeather, and gave the ring to the daemon. :smallbiggrin: Who promptly disappeared in a puff of smoke. We then went to my crystal ball and scryed on the daemon. We could trace him to the dwarven mountain empire, but due to the massive rock above we couldn't get through to know exactly what happened...


...The dwarves kind of left us alone from then on :smallamused:

Back during the second ed timeframe I had played a rogue who crafted a claw-like weapon from the blades of 3 daggers. OOG I convinced the ST to allow it to deal 3d4 damage sint it was essentially 3 daggers. I would use tumble as part of an attack (much like Vega's roll and strike in Street fighter 2) Well back then you could still make called shots and depending what type of called shot you made you could kill an enemy really quick. Well he had a big baddy all set up and I get initiative so I make a tumbling called shot uppercut to under the jaw. I make my roll and roll a hit therefore killing the baddie in one shot. Angered by this he chooses to have the biggest monster (Silver Dragon) come crashing through the woods to attack me. I take it in stride and do the same thing only this time I rolled a natural 20 killing the dragon instantly. I then proceeded to fashion a claw-like weapon out of the Dragons claws. Needless to say he has harbored a dislike for me ever since and oddly enough it had come up in a more recent game of VTM. Meh ce la vie!

My Cleric of Olidammara (Chaotic Neutral, slightly houseruled for some extra thiefy skills) was fighting some Ettins, along with the rest of the party. As a Negative Energy channeler (if I'd ever fought any undead, "Hahahaha! Got your zombies!" is just too good an opportunity for a cleric of the thief-god to resist!), I was making good use of Inflict (Serious, I think, but I can't remember). I ran up to an Ettin, cast Inflict. Attack of Opportunity- critical hit takes me down to about -14. Due to the DM liking my character, that turned into a mere -8, upon which the Druid healed me, and I went on to perpetrate a bit of slayage on the ettins.

The best part? The party warlock was complaining that he was down to about half hit points just before I got AoOed.

I've had a couple of times I made the DM cry.


One was in an Exalted campaign where the ST came up with a really flavorful Abyssal. An amazingly cool character, with awesomely flavorful (and potent) abilities, and no angst whatsoever despite having every possible excuse for doing so.

...and no Perfect Defense. My Grand Daiklave-wielding Dawn one-shotted it, and the ST started swearing uncontrollably while I giggled like a schoolgirl. He's made damn sure to give all the bad guys Perfects ever since then.



Another was sort of a two-parter, in a DnD campaign in a modernish/sci-fi-ish homebrew. At the end of investigating a warehouse, a cop showed up, and the GM expected it to be a battle. I talked our way out of it. The next session, we were at the police station ("of our own free will" and thus not actually locked up), and the GM expected us to talk our way out of it. I refused to be interrogated, and the session ended with a partymate burning the police station to the ground.

Too many good stories of 2nd ed....

OK, we were playing on Krynn, my 1st ed Barbarian who was 12th level, and the Firbolg we called Tiny, and Clorice the polymorphed very young green dragon cleric of Paladine (NPC) are walking in the mountain vally. We notice some mountain giants coming our way, and two rather large blue dragon coming from the other direction. Tiny and I hid (Firbolg had that reduce thing), and the DM has the dragons land directly on top of us. So Tiny has the Wyrmslayer, and he's vibrating tlike an alarm clock, so that dragon takes to the air to see what it landed on. We had just raided a mad gnome lair and I had picked up a Whirly-Whopper (a backpack helicopter that normally takes 32 1d6 attacks on the back of your head per round). I decided I would be a diversion for Tiny, so I fired the Whopper up, chewing a man sized hole into the dragon, where the blades promptly got stuck in the ribcage, causing me to spin violently for several rounds. But the damage is done, the dragon colapses without ever doing anything. The guy who was playing Tiny decided the jig was up, so he enlarges, leaps into the air, a scores a critical hit. The DM had one of those god awful charts, and a random roll reveals tripple damage (with Wyrmslayer) and three different effects. He loped off the tail, took off a wing, and split the dragon stem to stern. The dragon promptly fell out of the air, and Tiny was sucked up into the body cavity. Clorice is down at the end of the valley happily wailing away with a staff, doing Harm after Harm on the giants. Not a single one of them made their save or die vs massive damage for gooing from full HP's to 1d4 at a single stike. The DM was very not happy.

Good gravy! :eek:
How in the world does a 3 foot dragon/dog thing carry a Greatsword? or wield it for that matter! Bag of holding maybe?
Nonetheless, excellent example

Small Greatsword for D10 or Monkey Grip, I assume.

I had a level 5 rogue/swashbuckler based on Westley from the Princess Bride and our party accidentally shattered this corrupted Altar. When it broke, we accidentally released a dread wraith. Westley was the only one in the party with a ghost touch weapon. He leapt from the remains of the altar, across the room and "critted" the dread wraith. Even though undead are immune to crits, our DM ruled that the crit with the ghost touch rapier pinned it to the floor. Still astride it, Westley pulled out his backup weapon, a ghost touch dagger, and finished it off next round. The bard in the party then wrote a song about "Lord Westley the Shadowslayer." After that adventure, we were elevated to nobility for saving the king.

So, the party is captured by a cleric. A good cleric, who believes, due to the BBEG's machinations, that we are evil. We're in a grand cathedral, and I (a warlock/chameleon), am chained next to the party wizard, druid, rogue, and barbarian/bard. All of us are gagged as well, to prevent the casters casting. THe DM describes the church to us (stained glass windows, tapestries, a huge chandelier over the main altar, etc.) The cleric, who the DM had obviously spent a lot of time on, stands by the altar, knife in hand, ready to slay us, and offers us one last chance to repent. I make a muffled sound, and the cleric has the guards ungag me. I just had two words to say -Baleful Utterance.

Cleric dead, many temple guards dead, cathedral in ruins - good, good times.

Built a tank (okay, it was a party effort but I thought it up)
We took a wagon, modified it abit (one member had craft- woodworking and I had craft Metalsmith), put armor and a ramming prow on the front, then cast Animate Object and Permenancy on it, we put a turret on top for my character's cannon, and got an animated puppet we had bought earlier from a random gypsy guy (The puppet was treated as having 5 in all skills) to drive it.
That tank has figured largely in our adventures since, as few things can stand up to being rammed by it, one time we attacked a meeting between some local supercriminals by driving it through their wall, impaling their undead butler on the spikes attatched to the front on the way in.

My Spellsword character turned in one year from a simple mercenery, to the Supreme General of her nation.

It all started when she and her mercenery company worked for some Lord who had no money to pay her. Instead of paying, he arranged with the king that she will be the competetor for her kingdome in the Alabaster Cup (Cwar 133) that is held once every 27 years. She did some pretty cool things there:
In the wrestling contest, she won by casting jump, jumping while grappling with her opponenets and using the momentom of the jump to throw them out of the ring. In the jousting match, she won by dismounting her opponents with a laso.
She ended up losing, but as a reward for participating, her king gave her Lady title and lands.

Being a mercenery, as soon as she got the lands she started developing the martial forces in her land. Nearly every citizen was taught how to wield a weapon. It became pricless as a few months later a war broke out that swept nearly the entire continent. Every lord brought his forces to the assembled kingdom's army. My character, having the best trained army was appointed by the king to be the supreme general of the force.

Having won the war, my character was awarded the permanent position of supreme general, becoming the strongest noble in the kingdom. In a few years, her plotting will allow her to murder the king and lash out on the world with her vast army to be! Too bad that the campaign will be over by that point :S



My doppleganger monk variant with sneak attacks took out the evil mystic theurge in one round by winning intiavtive and performing two grapple sneak attacks in one round. After that he ate his brain and took his identity :smallamused:

I found some obscure religion in a book that believed in reincarnation and converted my charecter to that religion. I then proceded to agrivate the DM until he kiled me. I got reincarnated as a flying squirl that could talk (to the ranger in our party). The DM realized that I liked this and killed me many times until I got reincarnated as myself again because of the protests of the other party members.
