Be sure to kill the quest giver after completing a quest, you get a bit more XP that way.

Never forget the value of arson.

Gold melts but is not destroyed, most gemstones will be undamaged, and magical items cannot be destroyed by nonmagical fire.

Never ever just hand an item over to the questgiver. He wants something you have, which means you have leverage.

If a woman is stalking you, run for the fucking hills. Because it either means that she wants to kill you or she's madly in love with you.

In either case you should run faster than a bard running from a rape victim.

Be patient. If you stumble upon a featureless 20' by 20' room in a dungeon with a minotaur in the center of it, you can usually just seal up the door with some pitons or a bit of stone shaping. Come back a few days later and bam! damn things starved to death. Saves you the fight.

Never go up against a litch when basketball is on the line.

>>42858078
A bard's priorities can be summed up with a simple phrase:

"Any hole is a goal."

You see someone muttering in a strange language, it's a wizard. Kill it.
You see an elf, it's a wizard. Kill it.
You see someone with a book, it's a wizard. Kill it.

Never ever trust a wizard, kids.

Keep your feet healthy and your belly full.

And look, this isn't a permanent career. Get in, get the paid, then retire and run a tavern or something. Look around, there's not a lot of old adventurers are there?

If he's some sort of a Chosen One Who's Life Keeps the World in Balance - as above but also give him a dagger and some food and tell him about one of the adventure hooks you planned to use for yourself. Then move to another kingdom. Preferably in the direction opposite from the one you directed the kid towards. Preferably a few kingdoms away.
>You can more or less trust someone who's hiring you for a job that is important but not absolutely crucial to him - being just another pin in someone's routine is safe.

You wizard over there!
Let me tell you a simple tactic to solve most situations.
Learn alchemy, focus on divination and get a familiar first.

When you have to enter a warehouse to clear out some bandits etc. just use divination and your familiar to scout it out first and if there's no innocent people inside just burn it down.

If there's a prisoner then send them a flamebane potion via familiar first and then burn it down.

Fire solves so many problems and alchemy solves the problems that fire causes to your side.

If you aren't willing to take a fireball from your team-mate, you're not willing to win
If you're leaving scorch-marks, your fire magic is set too low
If it can blow a hole in the ground, it'll double as an entrenching tool
A rogue in motion out-ranks a warlord who doesn't know what's going on
A wizard in motion out-ranks EVERYONE
Sometimes the only way out is through a wall

And something a bit less laconic... Sometimes the best way to win is to never draw your weapon in the first place. Killing the dragon and marrying the princess is easy. Living with the consequences, now that'll getcha.

And what's with all the hatred towards kids around here? I've never had trouble from children in my life!

Attaching oil, and caltrops to a few torches is a cheap and dirty way to block a doorway when making a quick escape. Simply light the torch and throw it onto the ground behind as you run through the door, unless you are dreadfully slow that should buy you enough time to get a lead on your average combatants.

Trust me, it works. And if it helps you live long enough to get some real coin the alchemical versions are even nastier.

I was unaware that veteran adventurer advice all boiled down to "be an ignorant tomb-robbing nigger."

>>42865112
WITH ROPE.

Take that money and invest in property, both buildings and on the move merchant caravans.

Merchant caravans go everywhere, speak to everyone and hear all the rumors first, you can hide amongst them if things get too heated, get smuggled out the country, have them search far and wide for equipment you want, specialist items.

And your average slaughter house butcher is one billhook, a weeks training and a kind word from his good boss that gave him time off to look after his dying nan away from becoming a revolutionary, a bandit, a cohort or a guard on the walls of your shockingly well fortified factory when the orcs attack your Pork sausage filled stronghold.

It's very expensive to invest in priceless magic weapons, it's beautifully cheap to invest in people.
A sword you can lose, you invest in a person at the right time and the debt will pay itself back a dozen times, from them, their friends, their family and their children.

If, during your travels, you encounter anything cuter than a small child or kitten, destroy it with prejudice, and ensure the surrounding landscape is rendered barren.

I can't beet Spoony's advice on this so I'd simply repeat that:

1. Just killing people for lulz will cost you your life, your liberty and a lot of potential earnings.
2. Being a generally alright person opens a lot of doors for you.

Run away and do not look back. You might look and me and think, hey, he's been part of the same adventuring party his whole life - the Band of Bloody Bastards- so how bad can it be?

Kids, let me tell you something. When I signed up to the band at the tavern that one night, not one of the people in the group are left alive today to warn you of this career choice. And not one of those people that took me on was themselves a founding member of the band. The party will chew you up and spit you out, but it will go on. So make your peace with whatever gods you worship, because only the immortality of the party matters.

1. Never get into a fair fight. The only fight someone thinks is fair is one where they have the upper hand.
2. Avoid combat when possible. You're going to get into a fight eventually, it's unavoidable, but they're also dangerous so no reason to invite more trouble.
3. When you do get into a fight, fight like a bastard. Traps, going for sensitive spots, and the like won't win you any favors with some people, but it's better then losing a limb.
4. Don't be cruel. Put your opponents down quick as you can. Some might be tempted to draw it out for sadism or some other reason, but that's going to bite you in the ass. People with delicate sensibilities will hate you, and you run a good chance of facing something mad with pain.
5. Be polite. It confuses enemies and makes people think you aren't planning something to their detriment. People usually treat you better too.
6. Friends are always good.
7. Never give away information. It's possible to go on for hours about the value of information, but the long and short of it is, the less someone has on you, the less they can do to you.
8. Always have a new trick. Most people who last any amount of time in this business develop their favorite trick or tactic, which isn't bad. The problem comes when they expect it to work on every foe they encounter. If your opponent survives, they know how you operate, and there might have been unknown observers. Having a little unexpected something tucked away is good for at least putting your enemy off guard for a few moments.
9. No rule is absolute. The above advice will serve you well in most situations, but there's always that one exception. You'll really only learn when to do it by experience, but it's better to be aware of the possibility.

If someone doesn't seem like they're trying to screw you, they're planning on screwing you when you stop being useful. Screw them over first.

Don't give your trust easily

People will try to use you and they probably won't care about offing you when their done

Friends you can trust to watch your back are worth their weight in gold

Being polite cost you nothing and often opens doors so at least try to fake it

Being known to keep your word makes people more likely to hire you so don't get caught lying

there is a time and a place for overwhelming firepower and it's effects on the area around it, no cares about the Dark Lord Castle but every one cares about the Home for Little Lost Children when you burn it down

Collateral damage just makes you look sloppy or inept, both cut into your pay

Your Trail rations should include fruit and vegetables

never think you've found all the traps, this doesn't mean never go forward just be prepared

The statue wielding a weapon will always come alive and attack, bring strong cuffs

Rope and a ten foot poll are basic gear for a reason

A couple mules and a Wagon will pay for themselves in no time with the extra loot you can carry

Learn some extra skills, your never know when knowing a language or some ancient history or how to sail will make life easier for you

not everyone in the party needs to be a great warrior but they do need to be able to defend themselves

their is no such thing as a fair fight in a battle

always have someone keep watch

Knowing how to forage and hunt for food in the wild can save some coin or your life in a bad situation

Know the laws and customs of where ever you are, being in jail or an outcast cuts into your coin
