Epic D&D Moments

[Akisohida]

Geeking out old school. Pen & Paper, D&D moments! I play 3.5, just so you know.

Moment 1: Today:
I am told that 'Shatter' can work on weapons. It make them break apart, yeah? I turn to the DM and say 'Ok. I cast Shatter on the knife embedded in the Orcs leg.' Made the knife violently break apart within the wound and took out his ability to use that leg.


Moment 2: Many months ago:
This was was a 'DM bends the rules' moment. I had the Phantasmal Hand (or whatever) and my Shocking Grasp lasted long enough for me to cast many times. It only uses ONE HAND (though official rules state another casting makes the first fade, apparently). So I cast it on my right hand, my left hand, and my little, floating hand.
Then I fried a litch so bad, we had to invent the first Litchmas Tree. All 3 hit, with a max level Shocking Grasp, and all three were nearly max-damage.


Why not post your own (please be true) stories of D&D fame? Geek out with me!

Well in my current campaign I'm playing an Illumian Cleric. My goal is to make it to level 20+ and then purposefully die so that I can use 'Final Utterance' in an attempt to become a demigod. If I am successful it will be truly epic, if final utterance fails, I will cry.
I also play 3.5

This isn't pen and paper D&D, but I do love the computer game NWN, which runs on an engine built around 3.5 rules. The funniest moments in gaming that I have ever experienced have come playing this game over LAN with two of my great friends.

I can't even begin to try and explain it. We hated Tomi Undergallows and typed mean remarks to him every time we walked by him.

I was the fighter, and one time my friends tried to replace me by hiring the mercenary Daelin Red-Tiger. I challenged him to a one on one fight (I still don't remember how we did this in game) and killed him to retain the title of party's fighter.

Just one of those things where when we got together and played it we were always laughing.

The start of a new campaign and we're in the caverns just meeting the first boss. The DM says "she hops onto the boxes in front of you [gives a description of her]" and as he starts to make his speech one of the other players says "I shoot her." After a bit of arguing about whether he can do that in the middle of the dm's speech (he really wanted to give that speech) the dm finally folded and told him that he could make the shot, probably assuming that he'd roll low enough for him to 'make it miss' as dm's are wont to do.

My friend rolls a Nat 20 and shoots the boss right in the neck.

We were rolling on the ground laughing at that point.

I was watching some friends play years ago. There were 4 of them, 2 humans, 1 dwarf and 1 halfling. The halfling was chaotic neutral, and the rest of the group was lawful good, so none of the group liked the halfling. (the halfling was played buy a guy named mike, who was a skinny a-typical nerdy lookin guy, so he played the part of annoying halfling well). After weeks of him causing problems for the group, I happen to be sitting in on the most epic moment I have seen. The group just got done making a run through a small dungeon, and were outside the entrance setting up camp to rest for the night. While the group was resting, the halfling untied their horse and set them loose, and also ate all the food they had left. One of the humans (who was a fighter) woke up and saw the not-so-nice things the halfling had done. Here is the account (almost word for word) of what happened:

human: I search for the horses
DM: The horse are gone, you notice their raines hangin on the tree to which they were tied.
human: I search for clue as to who did this.
DM: you notice the halfing giggling by the fire, wiping crumbs off his chest.
human: I walk over to the halfling and ask what happened to the horses.
ok, heres what happend up to this point. they had just got out of the dungeon and were preparing to rest for the night, none of them had regained any hps from the battles, and the halfling only had 3 hps at this point.
Halfling: Don't worry about what happened (giggles) but thanks for the snack.
Human: I slap him
DM: (laughs) you slap him for 3 hps, he is unconscious.

Now, for about 5 secs everyone looks at each other wondering if the DM was being serious, then realize he WAS being serious, laughter breaks out and continues for a good 10 mins.

Funniest D&D moment I've ever seen/heard of.

(so if you ever see me saying <slaps rellik for 3 hps> in the shoutbox, that is were i got it from.
