The most ridiculous thing you have tried to get past the DM

[quick_comment]

Whats the most absurd thing you have ever tried?

I once had a monk with exceptional deflection (can deflect things other than arrows, such as ray spells) as well as catch anything (can catch arrows rather than deflect them.) I attempted to catch a disintegrate spell and use it as an improvised weapon.

I played a druid.

I actually managed to get planar shepherd on top of druid. With the dream plane. For 2 sessions.

[Emperor Tippy]

Does DM complicity count?

If so, Pun-Pun (he knew what I was doing and was Ok with it).

If not, Poke'ball Cindy.

Now for tried, well there was the argument about wall of force. I tried to claim that since the spell says that it's immobile that was true for all frames of reference. I wanted a tunnel through that mountain. KEW weapons are also up there on the list.

This sounds like an interesting argument. Granted, I'm no expert on relativity, but how exactly can something be immobile from all frames of reference?

It stays in place while the universe moves around it.

How do you know which way the universe is moving, though? Can the universe move?

It cant. If I were the GM, I would make it immobile with respect to the weave, which happens to immobile with respect to the earth.

You cast WoF and see where it ends up.

[Ravens_cry]

But then it wouldn't be still from the frame of reference that sees it moving, instead of the Universe. Such as the audience watching the ship move in Futurama.
Hence, an impossibility to have something be still from all frames of reference.

[Ascension]

The best combo I ever cooked up was STR and double INT to melee damage plus full sneak attack in a potential gestalt character... but then the DM ruled that we couldn't add any stat to anything twice and I ended up dropping my attempt to get into the game entirely.

It's not even serious cheese by gestalt standards...

[Lazy Zomb]

Giving the pet bear a fullplate + 1 we found because magic armor "sizes to fit". Apparently, the armor doesn't size THAT well...

Yeah, we don't bother trying to get the ridiculous things, cause they never work...

OH! I did get a stone golem defeated by casting stone shape on it. Not sure how ridiculous that is though.

theres more than one plane/universe in D&D though

[monty]

theres more than one plane/universe in D&D though

So wouldn't that make it...harder for all frames of reference to coincide?

depends on your DM

[monty]

I tried drowning myself to heal. It didn't work. I died.

[Ravens_cry]

That just adds to the problem.

Had my character claim to be from Ankh-Morpork.

My DM is running a ToH campaign next week. I'm making a Warlock with a Cleric of Cthulhu cohort. In related news, does anyone know a cool/easy way to get tentacles?

[goram.browncoat]

- continuous true strike weapon with use-activated faith healing (at DMG table cost, which was something like 11k or so)

*swish hit* heal 9
*swish hit* heal 9
*swish hit* heal 9
...

that was pretty stupid (and not rules legal). got away with it for quite a few sessions too.

- at will minor heal at DMG table cost. Be topped up for every fight for 1k gold.

Ah, good times. Broken times, but good :)

warlocks have an evrards black tentacles-esque invocation. or do you mean tentacles on your body? Im sure grafting is an option. Theres also spells (evrards menacing tentacles, crawling darkness, polymorph and all its little friends) or psionic spells (form of doom).

DMed a session that started there. party got arrested by Deitrius and Carrot for fighting in the Mended Drum.

Two easy ways off the top of my head...

Half-Farspawn (Template) [LoM, p150]
Adds two tentacles, becomes Outsider (Native).

Deepspawn (Abberation Feat) [LoM, p178]
Adds two tentacles, +2 grapple, requires Abberrant Blood and one other Abberation feat.

Also, Half-Illithid from...Fiend Folio? (my laptop crashed, so I lost all my pdfs) gives four tentacles, if I remember right.

Voidmind Template in MM3.

There's a spell in the SpC that grants you tentacles for a limited amount of time.

My GMs are lucky my shenanigans are usually bizarre and strange rather than powerful. Usually. One time in a WoD game we convinced the GM that hacking US Govt computers to fire nukes would be a single computers + int roll. We made it, blew up 90% of the world, and lived out our days in New Zealand.

But in this case you aren't seeing the object moving, you're realizing the world/universe/multiverse moving in relation to the object. That's how it would work in a good number of these examples, I think, but unless you were looking in from outside the universe, it would be the Wall of Force that appears to be moving. Since we, in the universe, do not visually recognize the universe as being in motion.

And if it were truly immobile, and I think this is what the guy who posted it was going for, the Wall of Force would appear to take off at around 18 1/2 miles a second, at least. You'd just have to hope you were on the right side of the Earth's rotation when you cast the spell.

Anyway, I never tried to get too much past my DMs. I think the worst offender would be when I killed a cockatrice with cold damage, put a blindfold on the frozen body, and stuffed it in my bag of holding. Next time I whipped it out, I had a hard time convincing him to let me use it as a Petrification Gun.

[Curmudgeon]

(This was before Tome of Magic, so there were no rules for ceremonial offerings and manipulating souls.) I (playing an Assassin) seduced a fellow party member and (in the guise of sexual shenanigans) tied her up, and then used a Wish ring to offer up her soul to my deity as a sacrifice. The DM was impressed enough with my ingenuity to grant me a +5 divine bonus to my Wisdom as the deity's reward -- except it came as +1 for each Cleric level I took thereafter, so I kinda got forced into multiclassing.

[BRC]

We built a tank, but I've told that story plenty of times.

[Oslecamo]

Bear bomb.

1-Be druid at least lv8.

2-Get some way of flying.

3-While on the air shapeshift into a druid and let yourself fall over your oponents using the rules for damage from falling objects. It turns out that bears are REALLy heavy.

4-?

5-Profit.

Well, it looked really good on paper, but the druid never managed to actually hit anyone(aparently the enemies always managed to roll out of the way in the last moment), and the druid still took damage from falling.

Hmm, we should have suspected of the DM's maniacal grin.

We also tried to use summon nature's ally to drop whales on top of our enemies, but the DM simply said no nature respecting druid would use his allies as living bombs.
