So, don’t leave us in the dark, BioHazard! Tell us! How many experience points did you get for getting rid of the other guy’s mind? Did you at least get as many x.p. as you would have if you’d killed him outright?
Gee THANKS! 
So all my struggling, the various quests, the pleading and begging to continue with my 20+ level character was all for nothing???
FWIW- I usually played in Al-Quadim (sp?).
Wow…to think, I considered it an extreme act of luck to role high enough to get a paladin;)
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU???!?!?!
Yep, pretty much!
This is why I have yet to make a happy, well-adjusted Forgotten Realms character; half of what you have to accept about the setting is “however powerful you are, there are still enough people stronger than you to make you worthless, plus there are enough insane evil gods running around that you may or may not last a week.” It makes for fascinating character dysfunction, though.
To go back to the topic – what’s the one about the terminally ill girl, vanilla? I haven’t seen it. (… I’m not sure why I’m asking for a plot synopsis on a frickin’ Chick Tract, but…)
tracer and Meatros…you guys are wusses.
I play with the original paperback books from the early 70s. And the Chainmail rules, children.
The treasures are generated randomly by the players during most encounters. I find it pretty amusing with they all turn on their compatriot who just rolled 90+ on ALL the treasure tables after killing something HUGE.
And I have my gaming events catered, loser-boys! Spaghetti and lasagna last night. Mmm Mmm Good.
Now…bow down before me before I tell you about the character that is the basis for my handle!
BOW!!!
Eeee GADS, enough about Dungeons & Dragons, you NERDS!
This probably doesn't matter but in the original "That Crazy Guy" the crazy guy gives her herpes instead of AIDS. I think the original was more effective because AIDS can be aquired by non sexual ways but you have to go out and make an appointment for herpes. It's sad when they mess with the classics.
TyrC!
Yeah, but herpes generally won’t kill you, so the BIG ENDING would have been diminished. “You have herpes! … um, so just don’t have any more sex, okay? It’s a sin, anyway. You could, uh, take up knitting…”
And remember, kids, sins are not appropriately punished except by DEATH. PAINFUL FLAMING TORMENTOUS DEATH. Your silly notions of “redemption” and “forgiveness” have no place in the harsh, black-and-white, crudely-drawn world of Chick!
:rolleyes:
And any of my disgusting characters could clean the floor with any of yours, regardless of which rules system you generated them under. 
Why, even one of my lesser characters, Clerasil the cleric*, earned the experience points he needed to get to 28th level by killing Orcus and Demogorgon on their home plane.
*) Of course I have all my high-level characters’ character sheets on line. Duh.
Jonathon, I think this applies to you too:
If 28th level is a “lesser” character, what exactly did your characters do?? My highest character was level 23-24!
Me thinks you two had a “liberal-experience-throwing” DM:D
Did all of your characters become gods or something?
Nah, I just used that trick where if you (ahem) “roll” the dice just right, each gem you discover will be worth a million gold pieces. (S’true! Look at page pp. 25-26 of the 1st Edition DMG!) Since every gold piece worth of treasure you take with you out of an adventure also gives your character an experience point, that’s 1,000,000 x.p. for each and every gem you “find.” Do that enough times and you’ll be 10,000th level before you know it.
Actually, after about 40th level or so, the only challenge for them was to fight each other. You can read all about it in my sweeping (ahem) epic, The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters. (Be warned: this novella-length story has two novel-length sequels!)
Yep and the DM gave me a nice heafty bonus for getting rid of that Annoying Loser. The character was a Mage I belive and the fusion was very good, because the other character was a much higher level fighter. Talk about a “Tank Mage” 
The DM was VERY strict for most other things. I had to beg him to use my original char in the first place, he didn’t like the armor, cloak of invisibility, or my Owl familiar I got from another quest he didn’t DM. He got annoyed with my poor owl and had a passing SpellJammer ship zap it. As for that Annoying Loser, he had several chars during the campaign and the DM always got annoyed with him and had something happen to him. A Wild Mage in our group had a misfire and accidently sent the Annoying Guy 2000 feet up in the air, he had a Spell Jammer ship land on him three different times, and he once had a Castle fall on him. Yes thats right, a castle. It was hillarious when he said “I can get rezzed, right?” The DM finally told the Annoying Guy that he had to roll his new char in front of him and after a week or two playing that weak char, The Annoying Guy finally gave up.
Tracer, IIRC you can only go up 1 level per adventure, am I right about that?
BioHazard: Yes, “officially” you can only go up 1 level per adventure. But you could always say that stubbing your toe 3 or 4 times on the way home were all adventures in and of themselves. <rimshot>
Actually, come to think of it, there were several standard rules I conveniently ignored. Like the one about only being able to wear two magic rings at a time, f’rinstance.
Can you D&D geeks get your own thread please? Jeezus Fucking Christ already, nobody cares about your fucking paladins and half-elves. Get some fucking girlfriends.
What about us D&D geeks who are fucking girlfriends?
Gotta like that.
And I’m married to a major babe. Ask around.
Dio-yes this thread got side tracked a little, and I’m partially responsible. FTR, I’m engaged.
So, D&D is a Mormon thing… Does Jack know about this? I can’t wait to see that tract
That was quite an innovaive way to get this thread back on track, Padeye! Congratulations!
I always loved how certain people like muslims and such could be converted to Jesus after just one conversation in Chicks comics. Just for the recod the following people will go to Hell acording to Chick. With just a few “facts” this young woman had a Mormon Elder ready to convert!
TyrC!
