Whats more detrimental to a knight a Chastity belt or having your pubic hair pulled by chain mael?

I can't think of anymore right now.

Shadow

A quarter.



Yes ... or you can jsut play rock-paper-scissors.



Blame the Pythagoreans.




Enchant it.



IMO, to cut. External bleeding is so much more satisfying than internal bleeding.



Run away from... or die from...




Platemail, no. Chainmail is another story.



All proper knights shave all the hair from thier bodies.



-Ghoti

A coin.



Yes.



To make the maths easier, perhaps?



An awful lot of elbow grease.



Both at the same time, of course



Sell it.



Depends if you're adventuring in the Neverending Stink-swamp or not.



The latter. Your average knight isn't guaranteed to Get Any, but getting anything caught in chainmail is... not pleasant.

What do you call a D2 Dice?
Serious answer: a coin or any other die, evens=1, odds=2
Smart-ass answer: you do that LITTLE damage? What are you, a Kobold?

Does a D3 exist?
Serious answer: I usually take a 6-sider and say 1-2=1, 3-4=2, & 5-6=3
Smart-ass answer: These aren't the droids you are looking for :: waves hand::

Why are there no odd numbered D&D Dice was Gary on this deviding things evenly kick?
Serious answer: Cuz polyhedral dice are more balanced when they have an even number of sides
Smart-ass answer: Because Gary is a masochist.

How do you make a sword cut better than it is machined thus making it a + sword?
Serious answer: Make it into a Masterwork weapon, requires Weaponsmithing skill. A normal weapon can be made Keen (doubles critical range) for the first strike if sharpened by a Weaponsmith w/ a whetstone, or it can be made Keen for 10 uses if you use Honing Oil & a Whetstone. Creating a MAGICAL plussed weapon requires a Mage who can help and has the Craft Magic Arms and Armor Feat.
Smart-ass answer: Buy a Ginsu 2000.

Whats better, to cut or bludgeon?
Serious answer: Depends on the monster you are attacking. Undead like skeletons are usually damaged better by bludgeoning weapons.
Smart-ass answer: If it bleeds, we can kill it! :: in Arnold voice ::

If you can't kill it what do you do with it?
Serious answer: Tie it up and interrogate it? Charm it into being your ally? Run away?
Smart-ass answer: When it comes to killing, "can't" ain't in my vocabulary!

If you fart in your armor does everyone else smell it.
Serious answer: My guess is no, because after a week in the field adventuring with no bath, the entire party probably stinks to high heaven anyway!
Smart-ass answer: Perhaps, but if your ass is facing the camp fire, they will also SEE the flame, which will of course attract all the wandering monsters in the area! One benefit could be though, if in combat, the fart acts like a Stinking Cloud spell and incapacitates the monsters!

Whats more detrimental to a knight a Chastity belt or having your pubic hair pulled by chain mail?
Serious answer: Knights are chivalrous and know how to control their sexual urges, so a Chastity belt would just reinforce any respect they have for the ladies.
Smart-ass answer: Chain mail thong = HOT! LOL

<<in tears laughing my ass off, those were good anyone else or do you have any questions others can answer this is fun....

Shadow

Let me try....

How messy would things get if you accidentally ate undercooked troll meat?

What % of the body must a chainmail bikini cover to classify as "armour" rather than "fetish"?

How many days can one reasonably take off work after stepping on a d4 in bare feet?

Is there a more obvious indicator that someone is 1st level than having a "10 foot pole" listed in their equiment?

How many hit dice does a gazebo have?

That's all I've got for now...

African or European?

What % of the body must a chainmail bikini cover to classify as "armour" rather than "fetish"?
I'd say that if the naughty bits were covered and no pubes are visible, then you're golden.

How many days can one reasonably take off work after stepping on a d4 in bare feet?
African of European? I'd say that's good for at least a day, unless it's those crystal type ones which could cripple you for life... however, that could be good cuz you could get that handy Handicapped license plate!

Is there a more obvious indicator that someone is 1st level than having a "10 foot pole" listed in their equiment?
Yea, anyone who actually puts rations in their inventory, Unless your DM is a stickler!
Also, torches. Isn't that what severed undead limbs are for???

How many hit dice does a gazebo have?
See this post RE: Gazebo...
/invalid_link.html



Let's see if I can come up with some...

How many XP do you get for vanquishing a "trouser snake"?

Can you effectively use an invisibility spell to sneak into the local Amazonian bathhouse? (To get a good look at the chainmail bikinis of course)

Can an alchemist make special glue out of your recently killed warhorse?

Can Domino the Wizard REALLY deliver that "+4 Pizza of Gaseous Expulsion" in less than 30 minutes?

Is there such an artifact as a "Bong of Holding"? If there is, what are it's powers?

Is there such a thing as a "Wand of Protection from FIC"? I would suggest that the material components for it's creation involve sheep, pecan pie, and a lock of Torley's hair.

Dread Gazebo!!! Hahaha! Too funny. ::Gets attacked by thorn-covered trellis::

Okay, I have a *serious* question.

I've got this nifty d10 roller program, which I want to put into an actual d10 shaped prim (or set of prims) My question is....How do you make a 10-sided prim?

Depends on the size. Suffice it to say that the larger species require a minimum level 15 porn star to have any chance at all.


Glue!?! Them's good eatin'!



The /Bong of Holding/ affects the user with /True Seeing/ (as the spell, cast as a 20th level wizard) at will. Each time this item is used, the user is also affected as the /Slow/ spell (cast as a 20th level wizard). Use of the /Bong of Holding/ more than three times in a 24 hour period subjects the weilder to the effects of /Chimes of Hunger/ with no saving throw.


There is *no* protection from the FIC. When angered (particularly effective in angering the FIC are the Forum Troll, Gibbering Newbie, and "push script", members of this species may retreat to a private plane of existence or summon 1-4 Lindens at will. Members of the FIC frequent the alternate plane known as the "Test Grid".

OK all this talk about D&D is making me want to RPG again. I gave up D&D back in Collage but White Wolf is the game for me. Love the new WoD. Hay any LARP going on in SL???

I seriously doubt you could do this with one prim. Off the top of my head, I'd figure out the angles (both on each face and between faces), and start torturing prims, using two flat prisms to make a rhombus and going from there.

If you don't want to do all the geometry by hand (and I can't say I really blame you...), then check out this paper dice resource. You can always just measure the angles off the images as a jumping off point.

What happens if you con the Paladin (respendant in his uber shiney plate suit of goodness) into drinking oil of slipperyness?

Because Im a pedantic ass, and a long time GM, I shall answer some of these, please do read on some of them are funny I hope.




Official GM rulings:
on troll meat: You probably just get heinously ill, the trolls flesh will not be able to regenerate inside you as your stomach is filled with acid, and as we all know acid and fire are the two substances trolls cant regenerate from.

on low levelness: yes the best indicator that someone is a D&D newb is if they say: "I open the door and go in first".

on Gazebos: Gazebos use structural ponts not hit dice, unless of course its some kind of animated gazebo, then Id say no less than 15HD



Official GM ruling: Oil of sliperiness is meant to be applied EXTERNALLY, i.e. on the outside of the resplednant shiny armor. If you con the do-gooder into drinking it, I can only assume the inside of his armor would not be so shiny anymore. i.e. ex-lax x 10. The effect lasts for eight hours before wearing off (yes... I actually looked this up, yes Im a dork) and can be washed off with an alcohol solution. SO Im assumign unless the pallie gets really drunk (somethign that would normally be hard to convince them to do) theyll be sh*tting their shiny drawers for eight hours. Either way... you get a goody two shoes dropping bricks every five minutes, or a righteous man of the gawds totally drunk. Either way its a no lose situation and TONS of laughter should ensue.


Ill try and think up some good questions

Reminds me of the last campaign I was in. The first session, we had to camp in the woods. Of course, we set up watches. On New Guy's watch, the DM rolls some dice...

DM: You hear a rustling in the bushes.
New Guy: A rustling? I ignore it.
*sigh*

Well.. thats what GM's like to call a catch 22, you ignore it... and get pounced by some bad thing... or you investigate and wander right into its trap.

A jaded old veteran would immediately scream, wake the entire party and throw fire into the bushes... its only logical.

My favorite catch 22 was to toss them into a small room in a dungeon, as soon as the last party member enters, an iron gate slams shut behind them, and they are presented with two doors, one that says "open" one that says "do not open" the debate on which door to use is always good for a laugh.

Not very, trolls are susceptible to acid...even the stomach kind.

Ack, someone beat me too it.

A crossbow, +12 sword and a few fireballs are generaly enough to take it out.

Lucky!



Yes.

[QUOTEWhy are there no odd numbered D&D Dice was Gary on this deviding things evenly kick?[/QUOTE]

Even numbered dice are cheaper. There are so many D6 spells because anyone can steal their monopoly dice.



Accessories... Like magical shinies, achelmical fluids, chainsaw parts, butter.

Many names... a penny, a nickel, a dime, a quarter, a half dollar and a silver dollar; just depends on how expensive you want it to be.



Yes, a modified D6 that has two 1's, two 2's and two 3's printed on it.



Gary's an old grognard... wargames never had odd values, always even... plus it makes the math much easier.



Masterwork modifications, Keen, magical enhancements... anything that will get Hasbro/WOTC/ Borg wannabe to get players to spend more money for fairly useless product (Have you seen the Aberrations book yet? Beholders as PCs? Teh lame)



Personally? Shoot; nothing beats a H&K PSG-1 or Barrett "Light Fifty" wielded by a Soldier 10/Sniper 10 with the extreme range feats plus class abilities... oh, wait... you want stuff for D&D; a Tetsubo from Rokugan/Oriental Adventures does both... a big beefy baseball bat with sharp spikes on the end... good times there



In the immortal words of King Arthur in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" : RUN AWAY!!!!



Plate mail, only you... but the rest of the party will figure it out if you suddenly take off your helmet gagging and coughing for no reason Chain mail or leather, it depends on the proximity to party members and closeness of quarters (tight dungeon hallway, open field or forest)... if it's really smelly, blame the war horse/ donkey/ beast of burden in the vicinity.



Option 2... a chastity belt would probably add a +2 circumstance bonus to the DR if struck in that region.

Bye bye for now,
Alexis
