Shit is too easy for you. You have not one, but TWO damage monkeys in the party, not counting the rogue when she gets sneak attacks. How the fuck am I supposed to challenge you when you can kill the boss in a single round?

Sneaky bastardism. Use terrain, use hazards, and start thinking of frontal assaults as a pathology, not a tactic.

Rust monsters, Level drains, Permanent walls of force, Antimagic fields, Slow fields, NPC betrayal, homebrew monsters, areas with curses and taints from the Book of Vile Darkness, dispiriting Sophie's Choice plots and when all else fails, split the party.
Quote from: Slyph on January 26, 2011, 08:38:01 PM
and when all else fails, split the party.
Good luck with that. This ain't my first rodeo.
Exerpted from Roger's Rules of dungeoneering
1. NEVER split the party.
2. If you can't walk upright, find another way around.
3. Stay the fuck out of the water. There's nothing there but trouble.
4. The plot wagon is your friend, the plot hammer is a sign of a sub-par DM.
5. The cleric is NOT a front ranker. That's what spears are for.
What exactly do the terms "plot wagon" and "plot hammer" mean, anyway? I've seen you use them before.

Plot wagon: The DM's steering of the party along the plot. Good players will go along.
Plot hammer: As above, but the party has no choice, and is usually a spectator/slave to the plot, rather than the center of it.

Splitting the party? unpossible?
Would alternating hexes of pit traps / reverse gravity on a delayed pressure trigger, leading to separate encounters work? It wouldn't be "plot hammer" per se, because it's for one combat, not to lead you towards different quests.
I have never played Dungeons and Dragons. I know these words because I have always wanted to. :oops:

Ohhh. Please explain the bolded more thoroughly?
Elevate your rangers and spellcasters, obfuscate your stealthy types, have them attack from the rear etc. You know how when you're bowling, sometimes you knock down some of the pins, and you're left with that 7/20 split bullshit? Think in terms of that. Making shit *awkward*. Make your dudes have a choice between attacking the people fucking them up with axes or the people plinking away from the rear with bows. Consider a failed trap an opportunity for the "guys who have been stalking you for the past half hour" to cry "now" and charge in while the going's good.
Holy shit. I am actually a dungeons and dragons... groupie. Could somebody slit my fucking throat please?

I was initially going to say that my group is like that, but upon reflection, of the people I play with:
1 likes to play a barbarian, have ridiculously cool gear, and kill shit,
1 likes to be a dainty wizard type and worry and fret about the rash actions of the party,
1 likes to play high-charisma characters despite having absolutely no charisma himself, to the point of not even being able to roleplay a pleasant conversation,
and 1 is as the above barbarian, except that he always takes Chaotic Evil for his alignment.
That last one causes surprisingly little trouble, despite his habit of doing things like going into schoolhouses armed with a greataxe while class is in session.
Myself, I like to play spellcasters who do their best to keep the Chaotic Evil guy and the Charisma guy from getting into serious shit. Me passing off Charisma guy's complete lack of social skills as "assburgers" to guards has even become a running gag. We all have a grand old time.

No one in my campaigns are allowed to take any Evil alignment. Roger occasionally lets people take LE, if they have a really good reason for it and it fits the story.

Write my own, of course.
In our Dark Sun D&d game no one has bothered to take an alignment. It still good fun when we make the dm cry "but you guys killed my monster! It didnt even do any damage" tho.
I still want to run D&D where we replace the alignment words with random draws from a bag /cut-up style/.
Setup the whole double-axis with dada.
"My Druid's Neutral Orange."
Protection from Sweet!
Sword +2, +5 vs BOOM creatures!
"Oh, he's an Prickly Anti-Paladin."
Make it obvious that these are primarily ways to have "teams" in the meta-game.

One solution I used was to have everyone prepare characters, then right before we started, I had everyone pass their character to the left.

:argh!:
Sneaky bastardism. Use terrain, use hazards, and start thinking of frontal assaults as a pathology, not a tactic.
Force fights during periods of low visibility, too include smoke and fog not just low light, with monsters that can give themselves concealment, Blur type effects, and/or/to include monsters that would be less effected by adverse conditions.
I've never had much trouble with evil players, but I make it clear that it must be motivated evil (IE, greed sloth etc), and not killing babies for shits and giggles. (Killing babies cause you're getting payed too works. I have an easy solution to that in that I don't offer my players money for things I don't actually want them to do).

Found this a couple years ago, used some of the ideas in a dungeon crawl. Was met by wails of frustration, but everyone had more fun because it was challenging. The Kobold's have been my DMing blueprint ever since.

Heh. I did things the players still speak about in whispers to a party with nothing but kobolds.
Bloody idiots didn't set a night watch... After all, level 20's don't NEED any stinkin' night guards, right?
Well, when they woke up with their packs rifled and a lot of nice crap I'd been meaning to remove from their inventories missing, they were, shall we say, disturbed.
Ranger tracked down little kobold footy-prints to a hole, and in they went.
Remember what Roger said earlier about not going where you can't stand up straight? HOW tall are kobolds? I assure you, they ain't digging their tunnels bigger so YOU can walk comfortably in to slaughter them. The big, burly paladin had to leave his plate back with the horses to fit in the tunnels. (Said horses did appear later, roasting over a spit...)
Tons of traps. Deadfalls. And, over it all, the sound of kobolds giggling...
I let one of 'em escape alive, to carry back the tale.
Was the closest I ever came to a TPK, I do believe that I shouldn't go out of my way to slaughter characters in which players have put time and effort... And, had they turned around and left at any point, I'd've taken a few more nonlethal shots at 'em for punctuation and let them go, without their stuff. But, "they're only KOBOLDS..."

Stupid Cobbled Man and his stupid chaositech sickening rods. Bastard.
And Freeky, if that statue of the obese dude starts moving around, Hogar will SODOMIZE IT. No shit.
I didn't realize Hogar was a chubby chaser. :lulz:
Hogar isn't picky. Fuck, he's got a damn duck on his helmet, doesn't he?
:lulz: :lulz: :lulz:
He may have to make a hole before he can sodomize it.
I think I have a few pitons in my pack. :lulz:
Bonus XP if you make all the orifices anatomically correct and then use them.
IMA HUMP THE CHAOS STATUE! WOOOOOOOOO! IT'S A DIRTY LITTLE SLAG AND IT WANTS IT!
:lulz:
If Bruce were allowed in this game with Hogar running about, he'd probably play that little quickling fart-sniffer he loves so much. And he'd be "fucking" everything in sight, including Nurse Enabler's and TGG's characters, consent notwithstanding. :| Goddamn, he's such a... A... bastard.
More to the point, he's
boring.

QuoteSneaky bastardism. Use terrain, use hazards, and start thinking of frontal assaults as a pathology, not a tactic.
Not sure if you've seen this article, but its something I've used as a blueprint the few times I've dmed.
http://www.tuckerskobolds.com/ (http://www.tuckerskobolds.com/)
Heh. I did things the players still speak about in whispers to a party with nothing but kobolds.
Bloody idiots didn't set a night watch... After all, level 20's don't NEED any stinkin' night guards, right?
Well, when they woke up with their packs rifled and a lot of nice crap I'd been meaning to remove from their inventories missing, they were, shall we say, disturbed.
Ranger tracked down little kobold footy-prints to a hole, and in they went.
Remember what Roger said earlier about not going where you can't stand up straight? HOW tall are kobolds? I assure you, they ain't digging their tunnels bigger so YOU can walk comfortably in to slaughter them. The big, burly paladin had to leave his plate back with the horses to fit in the tunnels. (Said horses did appear later, roasting over a spit...)
Tons of traps. Deadfalls. And, over it all, the sound of kobolds giggling...
I let one of 'em escape alive, to carry back the tale.
Was the closest I ever came to a TPK, I do believe that I shouldn't go out of my way to slaughter characters in which players have put time and effort... And, had they turned around and left at any point, I'd've taken a few more nonlethal shots at 'em for punctuation and let them go, without their stuff. But, "they're only KOBOLDS..."
The math is weird, there.
If the rogue wasn't able to hear the kobolds at 20th level (perception/listen check would be D20+23 ranks + 2 wisdom - 8 for being asleep = d20+17, minimum 18, average 27.5 vs a kobold with a stealth/move silently of d20+3 = max 23, average 13.5 PER ROUND) there is no real chance the rogue shouldn't have woken up and royally fuckinged the kobolds.
MUCH earlier edition. No perception checks back in the stone age... this would have been either 2nd Edition or maybe back into the days of boxed sets.
Update: Much to my disgust, there is apparently no room in the rules for a spell named 16 tons of protection from evil.

I'm sorry, you just can't drop 16 weights that all say "1 TON" when an evil creature approaches you.
And it CERTAINLY wouldn't be a forth level spell.

I was gonna drop one great BIG one.
And I don't see why range increments and material component requirements can't bring it back down to 4th level.

Because it is, essentially, a die or die spell. Even 9th level spells have saves, except maybe
wish.
Wait. What kind of material component.

Precisely how big and how expensive and what material is a 16 ton weight made out of?
Is it one of the trapezoid prisms? A cube? Spherical? Does it have "16 TONS" painted on the side in white?

A cone, in honor of our Empress.
And yeah, of COURSE it has the 16 tons on the side. That's half of the bit.

A wise decision.
I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to take it into a cave complex, though, or even a ruined castle, on account of there being corners and such. It'd be like moving a couch into an upper floor apartment, only without the softness and easily grabbable bits.

Okay okay. Let's say you got around getting it INTO the dungeon, and the price tag attached to 16 tons of iron.
Where can you get that smelted? I mean, who would even have a cone mold fifteen feet long??

I still want to run D&D where we replace the alignment words with random draws from a bag /cut-up style/.
Setup the whole double-axis with dada.
"My Druid's Neutral Orange."
Protection from Sweet!
Sword +2, +5 vs BOOM creatures!
"Oh, he's an Prickly Anti-Paladin."
Make it obvious that these are primarily ways to have "teams" in the meta-game.
I think I just get fed tinkering with 0ed DnD I'll do with with PF or OSH.
