Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Olinda, halfling rogue, closed her eyes and ignored the recriminations of her companions. They were blaming her. Of course. Just like they always did. How often, HOW OFTEN, did she have to explain to them that she wasn't a trapfinder? That wasn't her specialty! She didn't get past traps by finding them and disabling them, she did it by talking their owners into turning them off! THAT was her specialty! But apparently this wizard had some spell going (according to Arcanus the Wise, stupid name but you can't always pick your coworkers) that let him see through any lies she told.
Which explained why four out of five of their number were up to their necks in solid stone. Moments before, it had been mud. Moments before that, it had been stone. The fifth, the monk Angle, had drawn the iron golem (complete with armor spikes) away from his helpless friends to a corner of the wizard's "throne room" to deal with on his own. Olinda knew that Angle could draw the fight out a nice long time, but only because their foe was sitting back and laughing at their predicament. Once he started casting spells again it would be all over.
"Shut up," Olinda hissed to her companions, who saw nothing more productive to do with their time than to blame her for their predicament. "Shut up if you want me to get us out of this."
"How?" demanded Oran Thorson, with biting sarcasm. She ignored him.
"How?" asked Grunk. Grunk, in Olinda's mind, was the smartest of their crew, in that he knew the limitations of his mental capacities. Smartest not counting her, of course. So when he asked, it wasn't sarcasticly.
"Fly fishing," she told him. And then, without giving them time to further question her instruction to shut up, she hollered at the wizard. "Hey! You! Yeah, you, the robed moron!"
This drew another round of laughter from the wizard. "You're up to your neck in stone and I'M the moron?"
"You made that big hulking liability, didn't you? Probably from some manual based on Gann the Blue's work?"
"Never heard of him. It was Abindra the Wise."
Abindra the wise? REALLY? What WAS it with these spellslingers, anyway. But there wasn't time to think about that. Instead, Olinda hooted with laughter. "Abindra? ABINDRA? That's even worse! What an imbecile!"
His face darkened. Feeble taunts were one thing, but the repetition was getting him angry. Good. The fish was angry, now to get it hooked. "I'm a thousand times more intelligent than you, wretch! I am a GENIUS! And once I crush the last of you pitiful bugs-"
"Oh, sure, right, genius. THAT'S a laugh. I bet you didn't even remove Abindra's master command words when you built your golem -- for now -- exactly to her specifications. Shall we find out?"
The wizard's brow furrowed. "What master command words?"
"She put them into all her tomes. They let her take command of any golem made from them! And you... you CRETIN!... you left them in!"
The wizard snorted. Right. The spell told him she was lying. She hadn't come right out and SAID those command words existed at first, so his spell hadn't registered a lie. But he'd realized it and prompted her into something more. "You're bluffing!"
"You really think so?"
"Yes!"
Olinda sneered back. "Want to bet? Are you willing to stake your life on that?"
"Yes!"
A crash came from the side. Angle had been cornered and was entirely on the defensive. Time was running out.
Olinda pitched her voice higher. Shout, shout, shout. More volume the better. Enough to be heard over the ruckus in the corner. "Really? Really? You think you're calling a bluff?"
"YES! Do your best! Try it and be damned!"
"Wow. Just.... WOW. You're really commanding -- COMMANDING -- that I should take COMPLETE, TOTAL, and IRREVOKABLE control of that golem AWAY from you, FOREVER, with a single word?"
"YES!!!!"
Olinda's face relaxed into a smile that was entirely, ENTIRELY, to big for the comfort of anyone who knew her. "Thank you!" she sang out cheerfully. "Iron golem! Restrain your former master. And break his moronic arms and jaw if he casts a spell."
========================================
* No longer allowed to cause the DM severe injury through autoreflexive facedesking. (This may already be on the list.)
(This didn't actually happen, but it would be pure awesome if it did.)I'm not an evil GM! Honest!

I am no longer allowed to create a small society of insane sewer mutants selectively named the Lords of the Sewers who's various divisions (divided by separate encounters) are the Lords of Furniture, the Lords of Clothes, and the Lord of Weapons.
I am also not allowed to have this be an actual integral part of the BBEG's villainous plot.Currently RPG group playing: Endworld (D&D 5e. A Homebrewed post-apocalyptic supplement.)
My campaign settings: Azura; 10,000 CE | The Frozen Seas | Bloodstones (Paleolithic Horror) | AEGIS - The School for Superhero Children | Iaphela (5e, Elder Scrolls)

On a similar note:
My CG rogue may not wield a LG Holy Avenger and an intelligent weapon who is actually a polymorphed CE demon and use the fact that I'm holding both to become a god.
Especially since this is back in 2nd Edition where UMD doesn't allow me to fake alignments (rogues could only fake it to cast scrolls).Avatar courtesy of Ceika.

*My dragon bloodline sorcerer/dragon disciple is not "the one they fear."
*In their tongue, he is not Dhovakiin, Dragonborn.
*The verbal components of his spells never consist of "Fus," "Roh," or "Dah."
*He may never hire a band of Savage Skalds to follow him around singing in a vaguely Viking-ish language whenever he spots a dragon.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
*I will not abuse stacking luck modifiers to ensure a natural 20 on all rolls. (this is using the old 3.0 luck modifier, where it actually changed the dice, not the final score)
**Using said luck modifiers in negatives to force natural 1 rolls for anything trying to to me any harm is even worse.Last edited by boomwolf; 2012-07-22 at 06:26 PM.

SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.
guess what I was gone but now I'm back

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
sorry about that. in the campaign I'm currently playing in, our DM has messed with the currency a little to make it more closly resemble medieval europe. Getting any money is rather difficult, and 500 gold crowns is a hefty sum of money.
for example our free company was paid just a single crown per man for participating in a major battle.
