I guess he reverse engineered it...? Maybe? Like, if you were going by a point-buy calculator?

A war horse normally is 18 Str, so if if you were being generous I guess they'd have +3 strength and like a -10 to Int or something.

I don't know where +5 really comes from.

In D&D salamanders have no gender and reproduce autonomously so there really is no reason they would understand or care about romance and sexual attraction.One of my players wanted to seduce a salamander guard. That'll teach me to bait the dice with "You can, but you better roll a 20".
So of course the unseduceable was seduced, and had trouble understanding what was happening to them. They were henceforth played as someone who had stumbled upon revelations Salamander was not meant to know. The player got nothing out of it except the pleasure of mindfucking a friendly antagonist.

I'm running a mecha game in the 2100s. I frequently make them roll skill checks like

>animation history
>20th century music
>vidya
to recognize the emblems their opponents use.

They failed a check to recognize Miku Hatsune.
>>
>>49710514
when I said "on the ground" I meant that as opposed to "on the tower", where my character and the enemy were fighting.
His character was perfectly healthy and simply managed to jizz all the way to the top of the tower.
To our defense, the game we're playing was created expressively to do stupid shit in a med-fan setting

He rolled a natural fucking 1. The party made barrels worth of the stuff and shoved them into their bag of holding. For the rest of the campaign they basically had permanent endure elements on.

The party was like level 13 at this point so I didn't see a reason not to let them have their victory over the RNG.

I think you misunderstood this story. Or I did.
I read >>49710386 as the character isn't lying on the ground, unable to stand.
He is at ground level with no way to get up to the fight on top of the tower. But his cum reached the villain's eye anyway because >lolnat20.
Honestly not sure which is worse.

Critical successes are literally the most cancerous thing in ttrpgs.

Honestly if I was playing a game and shit like that happened I would have just left. It kills the entire mood of the game for the climactic battle to be interrupted by someone getting jizz in their eye.

In chrome, you can select text and right click and click "search google".

It takes less time and effort to do that than to select the text, click the post number, type "Who?" and go through captcha.

I hope that helps in future!

Pretty reasonable. Would you recognize many popular characters from the 1910s?

Most wee/a/boos these days are flavour-of-the-month plebs and don't even know any anime from before the 90s, so non-weebs in 2100 not knowing Miku seems entirely believeable.
>>
When I used to run a Time Wizards group, we had a house rule that after any character, PCs and NPCs alike, was introduced into the game, we would roll a d20 to determine whether the character was gay or straight, with 20 being the gayest and 1 being the straightest.
One time, someone drew a change card and transformed Earth and Mercury into giant vampires. After a bit of debate over whether they counted as NPCs, we rolled for each of them. Earth got a 14. Mercury got a 20.
They immediately started fucking, and the Mercury vampire was sparkling, Twilight-style, due to its gayness and proximity to the sun.

I have several instances, but one I can remember off the top of my head goes like this:

>4e DND
>Party recently defeated an underground mafia type group in their castle in the middle of a nearby forest.
>They find out that the castle is a flying one
>Cheers all around
>After a while, they manage to get the thing to work
>it's a clunker of a castle, but it moves.
>Next session, they hear of robberies and kidnappings along a forest route, they go to investigate
>End up getting jumped and knocked out by the kidnappers, a rabid tribe of gnolls in an unexpectedly good surprise round mixed with tanglefoot bags
>Warforged Warden is the only one to escape, has an idea and runs back to the flying castle
>Asks me "Are the people who owned this castle before, are their corpses still here?"
>I answer "Yeah, it's been about a day, nobody in the group bothered to clean it out."
>He proceeds to then dump a shitload of powers to punch a swimming pool sized hole through the stone floor of the flying castle
>I roll with it because it seems fun/he was powerful enough to pull it off.
>He grabs all the corpses and stows them nearby the hole and then flies the castle towards where he spotted the gnolls take the party.
>And like the helicopter scene in Apocalypse Now, he rolls up and pushes all the bodies off like carpet bombs, with gnolls being gibbed by falling corpses from 200ft away.
>Party is bemused at this rescue.
>At some point, he runs out of bodies to push
>One last idea: he ties a rope around his waist and to a pillar of the castle
>swings down to the camp George of the Jungle style and bowls over people

There was once a mid-game item the party retrieved from a mad artificer named the 'Improbability Matrix'. This item, when activated (could be done once every four hours), would cause a completely random event to happen in its vicinity depending entirely on one d20 dice roll.

These evtns follow ths basic roll that the higher the roll, the better the event. These rolls could not be altered in any way and could not be re-rolled, nor could the effects. These effects were also amplified depending on the situation, meaning that rolling while fighting a bandit group would never have the same effect as rolling during a battle with a dragon.

As such, as the fight with the BBEG begins, the wielder of the Improbability Matrix uses it on the first round. Said BBEG is effectively a lich empowered by the leader of a demonic pantheon of gods, on the verge of completing a ritual that would terraform the planet into a burning hellscape and open a trmendous portal for his masters to arrive through, the usual stuff.

The roll for the use was a 1. The first one to ever come out of it, actually, and I wasn't entirely ready for it. The short version of what happened was the the planet split in two in a cataclysmic blast as a cosmic being erupted from its core, shortly annihilating all life in a blazing flash of plasma and starstuff.

I consolidated it by simply saying 'the damn thing broke' and let the fight go on anyway after the description.

oh, thanks man. I was going to let my players enjoy the game the way we like to enjoy it. but now i realise that your way of running a game is the only way to go. Forget the fact there are different players and don't even think about that maybe the small joke not really mattering to the overall game. You got it figured out. Thanks for the advice!

That would be a one-off bludgeoning weapon. Lutes aren't very strong, and are usually very light.

It would break as soon as you hit something with it. Then you could stab someone with the splinters, or maybe garrote them with the strings...
