1101-1125
The List Continuation

1101. I will not cut the vault guards in on the haul instead of fighting them.
1102. 1980’s break dancing moves have their place. In front of the Vodacce prince is not one of them.
1103. Just because I was paid in advance doesn’t mean I can let the incompetent expedition leader die.
1104. There is a limit to how much innuendo I can fit into one combat round.
1105. Even if it is just my character speaking, I will not claim Texas was stolen from Mexico. I will live longer that way.
1106. I cannot put Nodens on speed dial.
1107. I will not attempt to clear out the dungeon using only Bangalore torpedoes.
1108. Picking his pocket means more than just turning him upside down and shaking him vigorously.
1109. I will not do anything that Bilbo Baggins hates.
1110. Even if I have enough, putting silencers on my minigun doesn’t work.
1111. There is no such thing as a Magic Murder Bag of Holding.
1112. I will stop referring to the Eladrin as just the Elf Mk II.
1113. I will not shoot vampires in the chest with a large pistol just so they have to explain the embarrassing sucking chest wound.
1114. I will not take a phobia of anything that doesn’t exist in the game world.
1115. If I have an ability that lets me alter minor aspects of my appearance, that doesn’t include girth.
1116. Add Bulldozers to the list of things vampires are allergic to.
1117. Can’t strangle a werewolf with a roll of Kodak film, no matter what we all know it’s made out of.
1118. In the middle of a black ops I will not use up all the claymores just because I don’t want to take them back with me.
1119. I cannot have my mercy surgically removed.
1120. Even if I’m in charge I can’t order the Assault Lance to perform West Side Story dance routines.
1121. If given a Holy Avenger sword, I can’t melt it down and reforge it into a weapon my paladin actually uses.
1122. Even if it still give a combat bonus to everybody else, I can’t just stand there and read a comic book behind the villain.
1123. In the middle of a black ops I can’t call my girlfriend to remind her to pick up some Chinese on her way home.
1124. I will leave out mating rituals when presenting a cultural exchange with diplomatic ambassadors.
1125. Letting the Red Shirt guard the plane is really frowned upon as it doesn’t leave anybody to sacrifice to the Shoggoths.

re: 1101. Why not? It worked in Kelly's Heroes.

Because in D&D every single word you say translates into 'let's fight!' in Drow.

1101 and 1104 are obvious fallacies (can't you get bonus XP for keeping your swash properly buckled while romancing a lass, swordfighting *ahem* her treacherous procurise, and dancing down the banister while fencing with the captain of the guards?) while combining 1125 and 1105, we wind up with the shoggoths served a Redshirt Old School.

So cleearly, you've been bamboozled into a few of these examples.

And anybody that's been a Marine does 1118; those things get heavy.

Also, 1120 has got to be worth a morale bonus or an intimidation penalty or something simply because it is fabuloussss!

I pulled off 1117 once... It wasn't THAT effective, but it didn't feel good...

Okay, I want the story behind 1109. I remember this from the Hobbit, but how the hell does it even come up in D&D?

Tried to intimidate somebody by wrecking his house. Specifically I chipped the glasses, cracked the plates, blunted knives, bent forks, smash bottles, in short, did everything that Bilbo Baggins hated. Except we were trying to piss off an elf.

*laughs* That's almost sublime in its absurdity. How do you come up with so many of these things on the fly? I'm not sure if you're a GM's worst nightmare or his best source of great gaming stories. Just...wow...

1111 - OF course there is... its called a Bag of Devouring. I have used a bag of devouring in combat and it worked. Take bag, your attack is to open the bag and shove opponents head into bag. when the opposed Str check starts, Push. When the opponent is now inside, shut bag. Repeat every encounter as it takes a round or two to actually be eaten.

I think you have to get them completely in the bag is the problem. But a shrink spell would work.

Nope, there is a small chance per round that anything organic that enters the bag will trigger the "Consume" feature of the bag (i forget the percentage). in 3.0 i think once triggered, it pulls with like a 25 or something strength until the creature has been eaten, regardless of its size. now, shrinking your opponent would probably make it easier, i'm sure due to the smaller size and lower Str.

but I just took the bag and tossed it over the opponents head and made grapple checks to keep it there. Luckly on the second round it started to consume and i assisted in the consume, rather than assist in keeping him out. Which only sped the process.

Is in the rules and can be quite amusing to keep doing to your GM's Mega-monsters. Infernal Were-rat Sorcerer? no problem! Lich? still a spellcaster with low Str! annoying party member that no one likes and you're CN? "scout with his character" then stab yourself with his knife a couple times before you come back and your problem is solved! minotaur? Well this one didn't work and broke the bag, but it certainly distracted it enough for us to form up and take out the 4 of them...

...how did it break the bag? If I remember correctly, the mouth of the bag (or even bags of holding) could stretch to fit any item... it was more a matter of how much of the item could fit inside, and since it's a Bag of Devouring, you'd think it wouldn't be an issue.

At any rate, I had similar fun with a necklace of strangulation. Good times...

well when you piss off a minotaur who happened to have an amulet of natural weapons... they can make the STR check vs the bag easily enough and Rip it in half.

But yes, it can stretch to fit larger items. the GM just decided that i was abusing it a little too much. Mind you that the minotaurs were part of a larger group, so they weren't averagely stupid...

yeah, who said Cursed Items are always bad?
