ITT: We tell the coolest thing our DM has ever done for our character.

>Pathfinder
>Monk of the Four Winds with a Native American indian twist who worships Erastil.
>Backstory is I was raised by wild elves and went onto a journey of manhood where I learned the elemental fist and punched a wolf with fire in his left eye and the rest of the pack dispersed. I returned to my elder and he granted me the Four Winds title.
>About level 6 or so when my DM messages me and says I need to go on a "vision quest" solo.
>awfuckyeah.jpg
>I went traveling through some thick swamps where I ran into a man who was hunting and returned to cook the food.
>He said his name was Bran and he too is also a worshipper of Erastil.
>We exchange stories as we ate the food that I cooked (I have Profession: Chef and he brought the goods so that was cool.)
>He shows me to my room and I go to sleep.
>I awaken in the middle of a snowstorm and only one building in sight.
>When I make my first couple of steps, the snow stops in midair and there is no more sound coming from nature.
>Footsteps are slowly approaching.
>I run into the house to try to light a fire (even though the DM said the weather "stopped" but whatever)
>I look out the window and there is a Huge sized wolf in pure white.
>In in inhuman shout, the wolf says "COME OUT AND FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED LONG AGO!"
>I try to hide inside of the house because I'm not about to give a Huge wolf a 1v1 fight out in the open.
>The wolf screams again and breaks all the windows and the building begins to shake.
>itmustbedone.jpg
>Walk out of the front door in front of the wolf
>The fight begins

>Wolf charges me immediately
>Completely misses due to high WIS (AC) and all other types of defense like dodge, natural armor, deflection.
>Right in front of me.
>Use Flurry of Blows
>Hit all 4 times and one is a crit threat which was then confirmed.
>Do a total of 37 damage.
>(Me): "Oh yeah, this thing is so gonna die."
>DM gives a slickity shit smile.
>Tells me it hasn't even lost 15% of total health
>ohmyfuckwat.jpg
>Wolf's turn
>Full attack
>I got hit once and it took a chunk of my health out.
>I use FoB once more but with Elemental Fist (NOTE: My DM rules that EF can be used once per round instead of once per round for only 1 hit so please don't get in a shit fest about this part).
>Hit most of them, my EF hit connected.
>The wolf takes 1.5x extra fire damage.
>End up dong in the 70s range of damage at level 6 as a Monk.
>Finally, after a bloody battle and I get hit once more by a 6d6 cone attack, I punch the wolf one last time in the other eye and it disappears completely.
>DM: "You wake up immediately and there is nothing around you but the swamp. You look to where the house where Bram was in and there is only a tree. You look down as you can feel a slight bit of pain. You remember that the wolf bit you in that exact spot, but instead of a wound, there is the symbol of Erastil. You are now one of Erastil's personal servant. When you look in a mirror, you see your nose has elongated, your teeth are more sharp, you can smell flesh from a mile away, and you feel empowered by the night. You permanently gain +2 WIS -2 CHA, Scent, and low-light vision. You can also become more primal as a standard action which gives you a +2 STR, +2 CON, a bite attack, DR 10/silver, unarmed damage die step raise, and a +2 Natural armor increase.

Thank you based DM

Old-school D&D (Castles and Crusades) in a town nearby Greyhawk, about 3rd level party:

>Playing a Cleric of Tritherion, a rather militant CG god of freedom and individuality
>Delved into some Dwarvern dungeons, found some silver bars in a room that was obviously a trap
>We thought we had evaded all the traps, but the silver bars had a slow but nonstop poison inside the enameled surface of the bars
>Near TPK as we slowly die off on our way back to town to get the poison cure
>One PC makes it, and gathers our bodies to take us back to Greyhawk for raising us
>She just scrapes enough cash together from our corpses and selling our equipment to raise both PC's
>DM rules that she took our corpses to the temple of St. Cuthbert
>In whatever journey I have to reach my spirit's resting place, St. Cuthbert shows up with a table, two chairs, and two mugs
>Looks me over and offers to raise me and the other PC, but only if I work for him from now on
>Even offers to do one raise for the price of two
>I always thought St. Cuthbert was a total square since his methods really involve clubbing things that don't agree with him
>He says he won't raise either of us unless I agree
>It's a catch-22 since saying "no" means I let my other PC friend stay dead, which would be turning my back on good, but saying "yes" means I turn my back on Tritherion
>I begrudingly agree, and St. Cuthbert and I drink barley wine and discuss his rules until I've had my fill
>As soon as I'm done I wake up in the temple of St. Cuthbert on a bed and my PC friend wakes up in the bed next to me
>I look down, and there's a greatclub in my hand

It wasn't cool in the same way as OP - it was just a great character development event. I'm really liking the change, since I can view the tenents of the faith from a skeptical perspective in that the clergy of the church tend to be much more strict than St. Cuthbert himself, whereas I've met the guy and I know he's got only one rule: if it's doing wrong, that's a clubbin'.

As a DM, I try to do nice things for my players whenever I can.

>Giant robots military game
>Player wants a gigantic fuck-everything laser, gives me clips from ZOIDS to watch for reference
>Give it to him, no questions asked, except it takes a few turns to charge
>Party gets into a fight in a redwood forest, using massive trees for cover
>Player finally gets his laser charged and fires
>Literally drag my hand across the table, carving a path of annihilation through every tree and enemy in the line of fire
>Player beams the entire time, not caring that the prototype melts to slag
>Give him upgraded, less broken version for next time

>Next session, eco-terrorists hold a hospital hostage to "avenge the trees"
>Two players and a vital NPC are inside
>Players both terrified and amused that their reckless collateral damage has finally come back to bite them

It was a good game. I also had one player use his sniper rifle to take down a nuclear bomber from ten miles off (with the marker on the other side of my apartment) by hooking his systems up to a radio network and getting assistance rolls from a hacker player and a ton of NPCs.

>>26566795
not as bad as when a dm I had in a game before I joined a big boss of his was fought in a courtyard with a fountain. One guy apparently asks if there's atleast 1 inch of water in the fountain, the dm, probably not thinking at that moment, said yeah. So the entire party proceeded to force the boss into the fountain and drowned him.

>Geist: The Sin-Eaters
>Playing a guy whose combination of unshakeable optimism and boundless stupidity had convinced him he was the luckiest man alive.
>Naturally he was a Forgotten, meaning he died in and extremely improbable way
>After taking several considerable risks in character that paid off nicely, he gets a mysterious note asking him to come alone to an old casino.
>Once there, he finds himself alone with a tall man in a grey suit, who pulls out an ornate revolver and challenges him to a game of Russian roulette.
>My guy naturally obliges, confident in his certain victory
>GM brings out a small deck of six cards. We took turns shuffling the deck, fanning out the cards, and letting the other pull a card.

>After passing the gun back and forth numerous times, the man in the grey suit puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger one last time, blowing a hole clear through his skull
>He just laughs, completely unfazed by the huge fucking hole in his head and says that this settles it, he is officially recognizing my character the luckiest man alive.
>Leaves the gun on the table, telling my guy to keep it, along with the unfired bullet (turns out there were two in the cylinder, meaning I had a 1-in-3 chance of losing)
>Goes outside to an old and ornate car, and the GM tells me that upon seeing the car I realize that the man I had just won a game of Russian roulette with the Gray Horseman, patron of the Forgotten.
>For doing so my character had received his blessing, granting him genuinely supernatural good luck: once per game I could declare any roll to have the 9-again property (or 8-again if it already had 9-again), or negate an automatic failure
>GM also informed me that had I lost the game the bullet would have not only instantly killed me but destroyed my soul and my geist as well, so there would be absolutely no way to survive or come back...
>And that the remaining bullet had the same property.

tl;dr: Won an ultra-high-stakes game of Russian roulette with a god of the underworld, and received his blessing along with a single fuck-you-you-aren't-coming-back-from-this-one instant kill against an enemy of my choice.

4e D&D games

Let's see, one of my regular DMs caused my shenanigans to create a recurring villain which was cool. I've mentioned it before, but I threw the Devil Lord Baal out of the timestream and he came back a a Terminator-esque Cyborg Devil which a literal handgun, shoulder-mounted rockets, and time-manipulation magic similar to my character's. Our first fight against him, he nearly killed us, we only survived due to creativity, ingenious planning, and a little luck.(Read: We spammed push/slide attacks and shoved him off a nearby cliff.) Though after he fell, felt a surge of time magic, implying he simply slipped back into the timestream for now.

Same group, other regular DM. So much cool shit.
I have an arch enemy that we might be fighting in our current mission. In our first encounter, he affronted me in a way I could never forgive, and vowed to devote the rest of my life to ending his.(Read:He telepathically insulted me, and I rage and charged in the direction I heard him from, splitting off from the rest of the party. Then he smashed the windows to the space station we were on and my eyes exploded. His race could survive fine in space, so he had nothing to fear. I managed to throw my spare fullblade at him and slice his arm up pretty good though. My character was pretty much blind anyways so the eyes exploding didn't actually penalize me in any way, and he gave me a bonus to Intimidate checks since I basically have empty eye sockets now, and some spiffy new synthetic lungs so I too can survive in space. Let's see that fucker send us into space again.) I already have exactly what I'm going to do to him when I stomp him planned out, something our DM probably won't see coming given my usual tactic when I beat people is to straight up kill them them right then and there.
>>
>>26570008

I dunno, the last two times something "awesome" was supposed to happen specially designed for my character, the former time some random npc stole all the credit for my accomplishments leaving my character to be an ever forgotten hobo, and the other I wound up beefing every single roll I made and died failing miserably at the one thing the character was built for.

After all the times I've played characters that were just outshone to the point where they're just redundant or repeatedly have bad things happen to them, I honestly can't believe things like OP could ever, ever happen.

To sum it up, Clerics to do list:
Come back from the dead: check
Interplanar manhunt: check
Topple the government of an entire kingdom:
Check
Kill that bitch:Check

The events I have described here have been summarized a good bit as this plot took place over the course of a year and a half of frequent sessions. I honestly could not love our DM more making this happen and even the player behind the Assassin wasn't even slightly butthurt cause the whole thing was just so damn fun

We have a homebrew in our system where once a session we can petition our god with a prayer- we pick a number between 1 an 100, roll a d100, and if the dice come up with our number our prayer gets answered.

One of my characters (a warlord multiclassed into rogue) had an ongoing skit where he would call upon any appropriate god in times of turmoil, regardless of their alignment. Never with a prayer, but just a general Name Drop. Think Benny from The Mummy in the scene where he panics and tries every different religious symbol and psalm he has to hand, but huge and covered in scale armour. I don't think I had ever made a prayer roll until the events described here.

One session the party was pretty fucked. We were in a small town being assaulted by an organised orcish militia. My character was trying to rally the troops to fight, but was panicking himself. Things looked dire. He stepped into a small courtyard whilst the soldiers were preparing for combat and started praying to every god he could name for a victory. More than one at once during some parts, just to save time. The good, the evil, the lawful, even a couple of setting specific homebrew gods of artifice and chaos & random chance were all on his list.

The DM chuckled and told me to pick a number on the prayer scale. I picked 72. No reason, I just thought it was a good number. I figured I might have got the attention of one of the gods. Cool beans right?

There was an avalanche of Dice behind the screen.

The DM pulled a face like he'd lost his wallet, looked over some notes, and then began smirking like a man possessed. Apparently I had been allowed to roll for almost every god I mentioned, since I had venerated them all in my own subtle way. I had missed every roll. I was less than surprised to hear that, and got on with the encounter at hand. His smirk unsettled me though. The entirety of the fight he kept looking back at his notes and sniggering.

We barely scraped through, as you might expect. Lost a good slew of men and nearly one PC to the oily green tide.

Now, I had thought that to be the end of things, but apparently the god of Chaos & Random chance likes to stir things up in the realm of gods. That's kind of her thing. Apparently, whilst my character's prayer was answered by none of the gods at the time, she had taken an interest in him and was determined to make sure they all got my message. Simultaneously.

So my humble warlord ended up as quite the focus of the setting's pantheon. Heavenly messengers, hellish apparitions and powerful outsiders all swarmed to his location at once, convinced I was a devout worshipper of their faith. Once he had convinced the messengers, apparitions and outsiders that he wasn't responsible for the mass celestial cold-call they had received, a large stalemate was reached and the irritated mob of demi-gods and hellspawn retreated to their corners, somewhat vexed.

Oh, and the Goddess of Chaos and Random Chance started showing up everywhere to mess with the warlord.She;
>Changed his gender for a day when he asked why she chose to approach him in the form of a mortal woman.
"Try it out, you might like it."
>Altered his alignment for the purposes of Detect spells to Chaotic Evil during a meeting with the Palapope of a lawful good faith.
"Liven those killjoys up for me will you? There's a dear."
>Increased his size to Huge to show contrition for-
"making you feel small in the grand scheme of things"
>Turned the population of an entire village into sentient statues because the Warlord called them 'Stonehearted' for allowing a beggar to starve to death.
"What? I just gave them bodies to match."

Oh, and let's not forget the time she flooded half of his hometown because he had mentioned something about a sea breeze being therapeutic the same week he caught an illness sweeping through the capital.
Fuck that whole session.

Anyway, slowly but surely, he learned to be more careful with his wording and avoid most of her bullshit, whilst keeping her entertained enough to stop her outbursts. It was like looking after a child, and he ended up fond of her, if not her wacky nonsense.

When the campaign ended prematurely the DM gave each character a postscript message about what happened to their character in the long run. One guy got to become a king, another became a folk hero ala Robin Hood. The warlord died and joined the Goddess as her representative and protector. He became known as the Apathetic Warden or colloquially the Weary Warrior. He was worshipped by those hoping to keep random chance out of their affairs. He did his best. Oh god, he did his best.

Needless to say, I never invoked the prayer rule again.

I had a mini boss worm that walks near a gigantic brazier in the middles of the room. He begun the battle with a sneak attack mid power fireball and the rest was acid. The barbarian bullrushed him into the brazier and it turned out the fireball was from a necklace of fireballs.

game of Mekton Zeta long ago.
Over the course of the entire adventure i was saving us cash to buy powered armor. I don't remember why i wanted it, but my character was sort of a sub-par thief, whose skill points were so spread out over so many things he was sort of a jack of all trades-master of none, while the rest of the party was anime marysues.
After several cases of grand theft mecha, etc i was able to buy the powered armor.
Fast forward to our final boss battle with this ridiculously OP mecha that shot us all to pieces. If i remember, i was the first to get my weapons knocked out, and he began gunning down my comrades.
My mecha was totally unresponsive and i had no offensive capabilities at that point. So i donned my powered armor and exited my mecha, and made my way over to the boss while he was busy shooting the others, he did not notice this tiny bastard landing on his hull. (this is in space btw). So i search the hull until i find an airlock. I'm able to open it with some creative lockpicking tech, and got inside.
I then quickly reached the cockpit and shot the pilot.

I don't care about politics, but you'd have to be retarded to still describe them as "Indians".

That's like referring to a random American as Chinese because you thought you crossed far enough over the ocean and landed in China.

Are you the guy who wrote the story? If so, I can't believe that flew over your head.
See >>26572014

>>26572017

Did your hand go back to normal if you let go of the sunblade, or did you have to hold your junk with a skeleton hand?

Also could the skeleton hand still feel things?
>>
>>26572128
My right arm permanently became skeletal, as a reminder from the Raven Queen to keep my temper in check. The arm still felt as if it still had flesh and nerves on it. Immediately after it happened, I assumed that the torch was cursed and I had the rogue try to sever it with the Battleaxe I had been using up until now. He struck true, and the DM said that I started taking HP damage as if he was striking my actual arm. Eventually we gave up trying to sever it, and in character I just accepted my fate.
Out of character I thought this was great. It was a really cool way to add some more depth to my character, and having a skeletal arm was pretty bad-ass, too.
By the way, did I mention he was named Gladius Mortus, the Sword of Death?
Pretty cool when you consider his new skeletal arm.

You ever try to unbutton jeans while holding a beer in one hand? Ain't easy. Especially if the only hand available to you is your off-hand. Then you gotta pull it out, and still aim, while keeping your pants up.

Unless you're some kind of animal that pisses with his pants around his ankles.

I am satisfied with the knowledge that he could let go of the sunblade and use his skeletonhand to aim his junk.

A small piece of backstory. There is a longstanding joke that my dice are powered by plot. They will refuse me any decent roll for an entire session for one, final moment of glory. They can crit fiend in a row, and I always roll in the open. So even my DM knows that I am not making this shit up.

>Playing half-orc barbarian with a deathwish and a guilt complex.
>Pit fight against what turned out to be an ogre with major levels in monk.
>Fight takes place in magical recreation of town half-orc burnt down.
>Because there is an audience and my character wnats to humilate the ogre, he plays up the entire thing as if it was a pro-wrestling match.
>Acting roll: 15
>Be literally thrown around like a ragdoll, unable to hit the monk with a single attack. Just because my highest roll was an eight.
>Give in, decide to rage. Rage having been homebrewed into a very nasty monster possession (not my idea).
>Try to get angry, rage refuses me. Make a 'wut' face before getting pimp slapped across the village into a building.
>End up having an hour long argument with myself while pummeling ogre, realize it was really set up for how my character would progress later, paragon or renegade style.
>Come to epic realization IC, DM's wife tosses me the special dice that light up on crits.
>Roll attack, of course now it crits. Like, crits hard. Doing eighty something damage from that one.
>DM describes how the ogre watches me do this, raising his arms just slightly...so he can dig into his important organs so he can finally die.
>Character needs a new face after realizing what a deathwish really is.
>Not sure where to go with him next session.

Sounds similar to a concept I did up but never got to play.

>Born to a northern tribe of humans who worship only 2 gods because of their local the Raven Goddess (as the aspect of winter, death and return to the earth) and Pelor (as the god of summer, life and rebirth Also fuck yeah humanity because these guys are racist fucks)
>Tribes totems are the Phoenix and the Raven following a now declared heretical sect of long exiled priests who split into 2 to worship their twin gods after "civilisation" came to the north with their elves and dwarfs and their whatnot false gods.
>Born during an especially bad blizzard the child was quickly taken ill and a priest of Pelor was sent for. Sadly their temple was snowed in but the twin temple of RG was not so an RG priest came down to help because bro's before storms.
>Did the best he could but child very sickly, priest prayed to RG and Pelor for advice on how to care for the child brought into the RG's most special snowstorm. RG claimed she has marked the child and the priest is to take him for training.
>Child is healed the next morning miraculously and proceeds to live a normal life till he is 15 and its time for him to get a job like all good kids.

>Wants to be a hunter, but nope can't use a bow for shit. Tries to be a baker, burns all the bread. Tries to be a tanner, puts holes in the leather. About to wander off into the snow and die a failure as tradition dictates but the old priest from years ago rocks up and tells him he is to join the RG priesthood.
>Wellbetterthannothing.jpg
>Priesthood teaches him about the RG and her ways. About Pelor and the balance of life and death. However he is not to be a priest. He is to be a AN AVENGER.
>Taught how to use the holy weapon of the RG: The Scythe and longsword. And how to use the powers of shadow to subtly control the flow of time (by ducking in and out of the shadowfell mainly)
>Is told by the goddess once he reaches the age of 20 that while he is fairly good at the whole using the scythe thing he needs to go out into the world and get some experience. This mostly entails doing her will by seperating the souls of the departed trapped in their undead forms from their bodies and letting them move on.

Never to to play him though, ideas for progression were:

>Pelor, the fuckyeah humanity thing of his culture, phoenixes and ravens and the heretical sect of worship he is from be plot hooks for the DM to use with me.
>Prestige or w/e its called in 4e into Chosen of the RG.
>Start turning more skeletal despite the fact he eats (as well as he can) but retains his strenght. And start stating him more dodge/tanky on top of scythe swingy.
>Eventually be a skeleton with frost powers, some timey powers and dodge-tanky to help his scythe swingy ways.
>Character would like cats a lot and enjoy biscuits. Would also appreciate modern music (modern for the setting). Would later buy a white horse. Maybe a pet rat
>Eventually at Epic level he would join the RG as one of her special Chosen like those dudes from 3rd ed who become kinda demi-god like entities with their own sub portfolio.

Guess my inspiration pic related.

Ran a Wild West supernatural game a few years back. Just for two sessions, intending to throw as many Western tropes as I could in, including: Irish Lass who's a deadly shot with a rifle, running on a train, cattle rustling, fighting over rights to a gold mine, robbing a stage coach, etc. All of my players stepped up to make it awesome, but two took the cake:

>Halfling Gunslinger (Ranger)
>Backstory is sister was killed by a demon, and every demon he finds he plays russian roulette with figuring that it will go off when he finds the demon responsible.
>Ends up meeting the demon who admits it because he's not afraid.
>Russian roulette? No, showdown at high noon.
>He spins the barrel on his first turn, gets shot, gets critted, goes down
>Has a feat that lets him ranged basic when he drops
>Rolls 1d6, 6 for the bullet, pulls it off
>Roll to hit, crit, confirmed.
>Ended up dropping into negatives, but headshot the demon

>Corners bad guy when BBEG's personal bodyguard attacks

>Pulls werewolf into saloon, no one else can enter.
>Werwolf vs human grudge match in empty saloon
>Werewolf pounds him into mulch when, down to 2 HP, he remembers his spurs are silver, kills her with them
>This is all happening in another room while other players take a break
>They come back, and all they know is their friend disappeared into his saloon, then climbs out with his bloody boots in one hand dragging a werewolf carcass

I don't know if anyone will like this story. It will be the first time that I tell a story (and greentexting), so please bear with me.

>DH game, players were at the time a Tech-priest (me) and a Psyker.
>Prologue, aboard a ship that transports the Inquisition.
>I've been given a pass-card to reach the higher levels of the ship.
>Suddenly, 3 guys start harassing an old man.
>I go closer to help the old man, but DM says that I have no time (our DM is pretty strict with fast decisions).
>I ask the DM what items I have on me, and the DM answers only the pass-card.
>So since I'm too far away to stop them physically and with nothing on hand, I improvise! And throw the pass-card to hit the aggressors.
>Both DM and the other player face-palm, and start explaining that I could just show them the pass-card and all would be over.

Later incident on the same day.
>We descend on a planet and our party along with a small army starts walking through the market trying to reach the Governor's Tower.
>The DM suddenly tells me that a child has stolen my purse.
>I didn't have any guns on me at that time, and wanting to stop the child from running away with my purse, I declare what the DM feared.
>''I throw my pass-card at the child''.
>I roll to see if I can hit the child to stop it, and my die thinks that it is the perfect time to crit.
>DM: ''Well, yeah, your pass-card gets thrown with such force that it pierces the child's back and kills it''.
>Not the best first impression on the planet.
>When I go to retrieve my purse, the body of the child melts and disappers.
>DM: ''The child was a Nurgling, and with your action you start the rebellion of the daemonic forces before its time.''
>The other player face-palms again.

>After a lot of running, fighting and me losing my right leg due to a botched die, me, the Psyker and another friend of mine playing an Imp. Guard get confronted by a really big Nurgle Daemon.
>With nothing to fight it, the Daemon slowly tempts us to the Chaos, and for every negative answer he breaks our legs and arms.
>Just before our deaths, our Inquisitor comes and destroys the Daemon.
>He heals us, and while the rest of the party were gathering their gear, I went to check the Daemon remains.
>DM: ''You feel that the Daemon isn't dead yet and could return any minute now.''
>Me: ''I attack it with my pass-card!''
>Critical hit with my pass-card, and the Daemon is finally defeated.

Thanks man. It was actually my first DH game, I didn't know much of the lore at that time and I chose a hard character to roleplay (Tech-priest). My only roleplaying was with DnD Clerics and Bards, and all of my friends say that my bard character seeped into my Tech-priest...

They are indeed a great class. I now remembered another story from that game where I really tried to roleplay him correctly but it came back to bite me in the ass.

>We return to our ship after saving the planet with the daemonic rebellion.
>As soon as we go aboard, a military chick starts eyeing our Psyker.
>Another acolyte comes to me, but I cut her fast with 'No pleasures of the flesh'.
>I was going for the skill (talent?) of removing a part of my brain and losing my emotions because that would be the only way to roleplay seriously.

Let me tell you about the character my little brother, aged 15 at the time, played in a DH campaign I ran.

He was a Cleric from a feudal world of many Dark Age like societies of lords, councils and fortresses. The people of this world were naturally short because of the higher than Earth gravity and quite plump because of the numerous high nutrition foods they were able to cultivate ranging from delicious turtles and freshwater crabs; to pheasant, rabbit and other game all the way down to the a native species of mushroom they could grow in abundance in any dark location. They live in underground settlements which are easier to defend from oncoming forces of rival lords. The people of this world are plagued by xenos on 3 different fronts. The first are groups of Grotts who, since a WAAAGH landed and was fought off, have rebelled against their Ork masters and have somehow managed to cause Ork spores on the planet to be sterile leading to only ever having Grott spores mature. The second are Dark Eldar raiders who often attack settlements who refuse to hand over slaves and exotic crafts the humans carve from a particular species of tree the Dark Eldar appear to have an affinity with. And the third and final are a race of native small lizard-like xenos who are more pests than a real threat; they steal from and trash human settlements and sometimes large groups attempt to kidnap human children in an attempt to raise them as their own for they see the human lifestyle as cruel and unusual forms of punishment against innocents who deserve better.

>>26591907


The interplanetary industry of this world is fueled by its abundance of various mineral deposits which the natives typically unearth while digging out new settlements or expanding their current ones; and the craft of good quality feudal-type weaponry. Their carved bone crossbow bolts, sometimes imbued with a native shaman/sanctioned psyker powers are very valuable. And its people are often recruited into imperial guard regiments where they are valued for their tenacity to never back down from a fight, their bloodthirsty nature against anyone who isn't another human and of course the blind zeal for their Emperor burned into their minds at a young age.

My brother Cleric from this planet was recruited by a visiting Inquisitor who ignored the locals advice of not going off into the wilderness for a camping trip because of the presence of a large group of Dark Eldar raiders recently and ended up having to be rescued by my brothers character who single handedly, using nothing but the chain mail vest his pappy forged for him; the 2 handed hammer his grandma made and his obnoxiously loud voice to drive off 10 raiders.

In every session this character was at the forefront of the roleplay. He was the party face who could bring a commissar to tears using his impassioned speeches about service to the Imperium alone. He came up with great battle plans and awesome thinking-out-the-box investigative methods.
>>
>>26590399

And here I thought that could only happen in early editions of Traveller...
>>
>>26591923
Some of his exploits included:

>Bringing said Commissar to tears by yelling loudly about how important it is for one to serve the Emperor.
For this he got Peer: Commissariat
>Out-drinking an entire squad of Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.
For this he got Immunity to Intoxication and poisons.
>Hammer-time danced after laying the smack down on 3 underhivers in flak armour wielding autoguns naked except for his pull over tabard and his hammer.
For this I made his hammer do an extra 1 damage when thrown for every 2 degrees of success.
>Throwing said hammer at a witch-cultist and doing enough damage to break his spine with the impact where in the guardsman of the group could barely scratch another with 2 full auto attacks.
For this I made the hammer Sanctified.
>Losing a sock in a battle and going on a rampage to find it because it was his lucky sock. And he found it in the teeth of a Juggernaut cultists had summoned, he beat the juggernaut up (without his lucky sock) with minimal aid from the party scum who basically acted as a distraction for 3 rounds by failing to do anything with their sword and shotgun.
For this I made the sock give +5 to a attribute of his choice chosen at the beginning of each session.

His name was Urist McHammerstien
He came from the planet of Oilfurnace, and the city of Bonesdeep.
His long beard came down to his belt.
His big nose and small cheeks turned a bright red when he was angry as a warning light to those he was about to smash.

He was the funniest damn character I ever had the pleasure of gaming with and he came from my 15 year old brother who had never played DH before.

And no one but me understood the whole character was one big joke.

It's implied I was on the vision quest before my character met Bram anyway since his appearance and home had disappeared after fighting the wolf so technically, I didn't eat anything.

>Ares tries to kill us after we complete our main jobs by locking us in a room 5 stories underground and venting air

>Later meet up with head of ARES, damien knight who's at a charity golf tournement
>Use my 'celebrety' to get in, talk to him, tell him about events and get him as an ally and buddy

By the end of it my character ended up dropping his habit, taking up alcohol instead (think james bond levels of alcoholism) and actually became a decent individual as opposed to a piece of shit. Later in a docwagon campaign during the 2060s we ran into Rock after his wife had gone missing.

That is fairly amusing. Sadly my preferred DM is on hiatus since he got us hooked on GW2 tpvp, and my regular DM is no fun allowed grimdark serious frowny face sort.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS SHIIIIIT. (after the fact of course. giving PC's a legitimate option would be asking too much)

I do this kind of shit all the time. It's a reward to my players for thinking outside the box. Half the time they still don't notice, but it's always awesome when they do.

Yes, it's sulaaly as well as awesome.

>>26571849

Oh for fucks sake:

OP referred to his character as a "Native American Indian" obviously, this refers to the native population of America of the colonial era since the Spanish thought they had landed in India, therefore, calling them "Indians"

Calm the fuck down
>>
>>26598925
Yep, especially since when this place was discovered again, Columbus knew he wasn't on Hindustan (India wasn't called India in 1492) because he wasn't retarded. Indian comes from his written accounts referring to them as 'Una gente in Dios.' A people in God. In Dios -> Indian. Perfectly respectable.

Story of my gaming life. I've sort of taken the role of forever GM because nobody else in the group is that good at GMing, especially the planning a meetup part.

I wish I could make a copy of myself so I can play a game I am running
