[Hiro Protagonest]

So here's the fourth thread.

Older threads can be found here, here, and here.

Now, I'd like Zuko to start us off.

I was a bit unhappy with the number 5 though, so I'll remake it some other time. With my luck though, this will be the last post on the 49th page of a soon-to-be-dead thread and so will go completely unviewed.

These can all also be used for Lunars.

I see what you did there.

Okay playgrounders, here's a bit of a challenge for you. Instead of the regular old fantasy art, movie still, or anime, use a picture of yourself. Still should be game-related captions, though.

Oh, yeh. Because we all know the legends where the guy slew the dragon using the sword he got for Christmas.

You mean Jabberwocky? The poem where the guy got the vorpal sword from his father?

[Pisha]

Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch.

He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
Then rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood a while in thought.

I don't believe it ever actually says he got the sword from his father...

[dsmiles]

It's always seemed implied to me, though. All the illustrations I've ever seen for the poem depict the protagonist as a very young man (late teens or early 20s). So, those kind of support it, too.

Yeah, although it implies the father has all the experience and the youth has so little he cannot even find them (the monsters). That would make the vorpal sword most likely his father's. i.e. a fair interpretation. Its not like you find a vorpal sword lying on the side of the road.

Mother: Don't touch that! It might have germs!
Kid: But Mo-oooooooom! It's so shiny and looks so sharp!
Mother: then you'll likely cut yourself! Get away get away! Leave the bijillion dollar vorpal sword to the beggars!

Disclaimer: All of my dumps are results of me reading entire RPGnet Motivator threads, picking out the best ones (imo, of course). As such, I have made none of these and do not know sources of the original images, save that they may have been mentioned in the thread in question, but I am too busy reading the hundreds of motivators to copy and record sources as well. Then again, the knowledge of my fellow board-mates is ever-surprising and they usually seem to be able to find things.

Meh, Rorschach's got at least twice as many.

So... have you read a lot of epic fantasy? I'm just saying, while getting it as a gift from your dad is certainly an option, it's far from the only or even the most common way for a young, inexperienced hero to get a fancy magic sword... (Not that the exchange above wasn't hilarious, cuz it was.)

I remember seeing a Monk fix on these forums that gave the speed bonus as an additional bonus on various acrobatics-related sills. Including Balance. At higher levels they could pretty easily walk on clouds.

That would be Jiriku's. IIRC, at level 18 it had a +60 circumstance bonus to Jump, Balance and Tumble.

Yeah, that is my favorite monk fix of all time. I haven't gotten a chance to play it though.

Beer can, actually.

Loving the self-portrait posters, by the way. Keep 'em coming!

In Northshield, we call it Spear the Beer. One spear, one spearholder, one cheapnastyskunkedbeer, one bear thrower.

If you stab the beer, the thrower chugs. If you miss the beer, you chug. Best played late at night by a flickering bonfire.
