    Default Is it just me, or is this every player character ever?

    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.

    "Because you didn't play in Tormenta. Petrynia is a country famed for liars.

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

    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, my freinds get to chicks and stay there. It makes me facepalm a lot.
    Me: I'd get the paladin to help, but we might end up with a kid that believes in fairy tales.
    DM: aye, and it's not like she's been saved by a mysterious little girl and a band of real live puppets from a bad man and worse step-sister to go live with the faries in the happy land.
    Me: Yeah, a knight in shining armour might just bring her over the edge.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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...
