    Once while stalking some pirates through a marsh, an alligator tried to move up on our shit silently. The DM rolled a one, so the alligator managed to flop around aimlessly and gave up its turn. Our lady lizardfolk companion killed the living shit out of it. This alligator immediately became known as "DURRRR" the alligator. It was decided that he should be purple

    Our kobold then decapitated it with a shovel, brought it back to the workroom in the lighthouse, and fashioned a helmet out of its head. Retarded alligator helmet of intimidation.

    Then that kobold went on to kill three pirates at once, fuck the lizardgirl, and started a pony farm. >>9895599

    Originally, the plan was to also buy a zeppelin, slaughter and raise the ponies as undead, then drop them from above on a city.

    There's this one guy in our group. Major assburgers, plays with us because he's in love with us, doesn't know dick about the game.

    Well, we were fighting a slime or somesuch, and it split every time we used slashing or piercing weapons. This fellow is playing a low-ac fighter with nothing but a bow and a greatsword, so we convince him that he can do bludgeoning damage by jumping up and down on it (like splashing a puddle). We knew he'd take damage, but we also knew the jelly was close to death, so we thought he'd be able to kill it as well.

    He rolled a one.

    He immediately slips, falls face first into the jelly, provokes an attack of opportunity, and is engulfed. He immediately takes 36 points of damage, reducing his HP to three.

    This guy- let's call him Goof Bouldershoulder -flips out, flings his dice around, and becomes irate. The game is derailed for like, twenty minutes.

    I fived everyone else in my party before hitting him with my DISLOCATING DAGGER and teleporting the slime off of him.

    Our party enters the city of a bunch of monk dwarfs whom, after centuries of meditation and honing their spirits, have learned how to fly.

    Really, you enter this sub-terrestrial city and you just see a bunch of stoic dwarfs floating around from place to place.

    Our business takes us to the top of a tower/stalagmite where we ask for passage through said city. Once we get the okay, we begin our decent back to the ground floor.

    "What are you guys doing?" our dwarf player says, "isn't it obvious that this place is enchanted so that we can just -fly- out rather than walk down stairs?" And, with that, he jumps out the window.

    (Our party is off-and-on, but it generally consists of a kobold sorcerer (Driblis), an elven paladin (Val), and a dwarven cleric (Thoradin), with other additions coming and going)

    Yeah well... the whole Ooze Jumping thing wasn't new; before we acquired Sir Asperger's, we had this other guy who was a real bro, until he decided to fuck off and stop being cool with us. Unfortunately, the entire time we knew him, he was utterly useless in D&D (His first character was a druid who sucked constantly. His second, well, he tried to convince us to let him name his wizard "Tiber Septim.") So he skipped out on a D&D night to go work on his party van and form a "secret brotherhood of assassins" (no joke) and we were bored...

    DM spawns this angry black ooze thing which we found out was acidic (the hard way; our dwarf cleric smacked it with his mace and it grappled him). After dumping some burning incense on the carpet and deciding that we should burn the tips of Tiber Septim's character sheet (which he had left with us) with a match... Yeah.

    DM: "... The slime is noticeably diminished from its original size."
    Thoradin: "You know what?"
    Val: "What?"
    Thoradin: "Justin jumps into the ooze. A big bellyflop right into it."

    We're in a stadium, watching some dueling going on.

    We're surrounded by gold dwarfs. Our dwarf cleric decides he wants to try and impress some of the women, AFTER consuming massive amounts of alcohol.

    He rolls a 1 on his charisma check, and has a -1 penalty for charisma. He basically couldn't have done worse, but would have.

One of the minotaurs died, so i figured why the heck not, and dragged his corpse for a day in the underdark, his friend trailing behind him. i tell M2 that if he doesn't help me, he'll end up like his friend. didn't realize i didn't have the level to raise any undead, and sucked harder at controlling them. fail move on my part.

    Crowning moment of awesome:
    Player is stationed at one end of a 1/4 mile long tunnel, approximately 3ft. across, with a rapidly approaching group of orcs, gnolls and flinds making a speedy approach. The intent is that they'll sneak into the kingdom the PCs are protecting and lay waste to the place.

    Player A, the team firebug/arsonist/bedwetting match enthusiast/Sorceror looks down the tunnel, sees the massive army worming its way towards him. Smiles real big, grabbing the only magical item he ever actually wanted, and pointing it down the tunnel.

    Wand of Enlarged Fireballs (ten charges left).

    Proceeds to make a gigantic potato gun out of the tunnel, ejecting an entire raiding party over the cliffside entrance on the other end, turning an otherwise dull, starry night into a beautiful, Technicolor display of magickal pyrotechnics and exploding airborne orcs, gnolls and flinds.

    Player then learned what happens to a vacuum-filled 1/4 mile long tunnel 3 ft across, headfirst.

    Thankfully, he was able to use the wand to signal for help, by burning off the remaining charges as a primitive, expensive flare gun.

    My favorite (and current!) PC in a d20 Modern/CoC game is my ex-con librarian. Keeps a shiv in his thesaurus and once used the childrens' books area as an emergency evac when the team found a portable dimensional pocket/teleporter. He left it open when the team HQ/local library was raided by cultists, throwing someone into a random book within ten feet.

    He was later discovered dead from diabetes in Hansel and Gretel.

    "... cliff. So, I tie a rope to a rock and chuck it to the top."

    "You do, huh? Cool."

    "I try to climb..."

    *rolls falling damage for rock hitting him in the head*

    This was not one of my finer moments in DnD, but my group still laughs like crazy about it...

    We were in a city, trying to repel a gnoll invasion. Whilst making our way down an alley, I see from the map that if I make my way through one of the buildings, I can come out on the other side of a group of them and set up a flanking maneuver.
    Me: "Alright, I'll charge through that window."
    DM: "....you're sure?"
    Me: "Yeah, it'll be awesome!"
    He lets me make the charge.....into a sturdy brick wall. I learned two things from this.

    1) It is unlikely that medieval cities have floor-to-ceiling windows.
    2) When playing a dwarf, remember they are only 4 feet tall.
