There are plenty of threads about That Guy, the douche that makes any game terrible.
The Loon is the one that pulls something completely ridiculous and succeeds.

>Playing DnD
>The Loon is captain of party's ship
>BBEG is this guy that has been harassing at every point and making our lives terrible
>Planning a siege
>Captain stands, "Everyone to the ship. It's defended from the land and air. But not the sea!"
>Party points out his keep is two miles inland
>His face as we ride a man/wizard made tidal wave all the way to the keep, literally flooding his defenses
>>
I, for one, approve of this term yet lack suitable content.

Proceed.

I have one from a Halo game I ran some time ago -

>all marine and ODST players in a commandeered pelican dropship trying to escape a Covie occupied city.
>being chased by a trio of banshee fighters. And their pelican doesn't have any weapons at all, not even the rotating undernose chaingun featured in the concept art
>one player gets it into his head to strap himself into the seat facing the rear facing door and arm his rocket launcher to try and take out the banshees.
>he orders the squad AI to open the door, but it has been damaged from the other side, and doesn't open.
>so he decides "fuckit" and orders everyone to cover their face, eyes and ears as he launches a rocket AT the door, blowing it open and counting on the overpressure to suck out the debris and shrapnel.
>he narrowly makes the roll, blowing open the door and somehow not killing everyone else in the bay, but he fucks up his next roll.
>the rope snaps.

The level or cursing was palpable as he pointed out himself he didn't have a chute.

So I let him have a few actions to loose his remaining rocket, and then try and say farewell before he makes an ill timed splat on the ground.

>he looses the other rocket, and takes out the first banshee.
>he then hatches the mother of all batshit plans.
>he unlatches his shotgun and uses it as a makeshift hook, trying to aim for the wings of the first banshee. He misses.
>he then goes for the second banshee. With every roll against him he somehow makes the roll.
>MFW he manages to grab the second banshee by the wing, hold on and then use said shotgun to kill the elite pilot and then drag the corpse out.
>MFW he commanders the banshee and shoots down the other remaining fighter.

That crazy crazy bastard managed to escape every roll and spartan'd his way out of it, so I had no choice but to give him his thirty minutes of fame.

>>32914154
Air-jacking banshees was my favorite thing to do in every Halo where it was possible

I salute the crazy fucker.

In the end we found out all we had to do was talk to this curator guy and he would have given the item to us for 25 gold. In the end he spent about 900 gold on materials, and killed off an entire village and is now wanted for 12,000 gold.

To be fair, that was a pretty spartan way of solving the problem. Chief would approve.

Sorry, I fail to see how he is a that guy. And your games sound awesome :D

Fuck that, dude. If you think XP and gold are the only interesting thing when playing tabletop RPGs I've got bad news for you.

You now have a crazy story to tell, and it's a hilarious one !

>Building has fairly strong magical and physical defenses, and will be hard to enter undetected
>Building is in Seattle, near a Boeing plant

>Team denies it, on the grounds of difficulty stealing an airplane, and having no one to blame it on
>Me: "Nonsense! We simply blame it on terrorists and gangers. Like the Halloweeners! We can blame it on them!"
>Team again refuses, stating that they have no way of getting access to Halloweeners--and still the plane is an issue
>Me: "Well... why use a plane when a big truck will suffice?"

>We eventually cause a fire at a Starbucks, steal the resulting firetruck, load it full of C4 and dead circus clowns (I don't even know how my contact got those), and have our rigger ram it into the building at 90 mph

Standard Shadowrun involves having a contact kill a bunch of circus clowns so you can load them into a firetruck you stole from a fire you set at Starbucks, and then ram them both into a building?

...Yeah, that does sound about right. I'm not sure why my fellow players are still convinced that this plan proved I'm crazy.

>Playing Bard

>Forced to by Fate (read:GM)

His backstory was basically that he was a bard of above average ability, which meant that in the small town that he lived in, he was having a pretty good life. His mistake was failing basic Genre Saavy, and thinking that he could do a job with a small group of plucky adventurers that he met in a tavern, and end the job with a fair bit of coin to make his life very cushy, no complications.

Over the course of several campaigns, he:

>Failed to escape the party on 87 separate occasions
>Incited a civil war by playing songs insulting the king's length, girth, and oraltory skills
>Succeeded in using Charm Monster and made a the first campaign's BBEG's pet dragon throw the BBEG off while flying, sending the BBEG into the ground, his battle-axe falling on top of him, dealing even more damage, and the party ganked him while he was prone.
>Failed a knowledge check about Fae History and Culture, leading to him getting two 20s and an 18 when rolling Perform to pleasure the Fae Queen and about 20 female fae nobles to avoid being enslaved.
>Finished the campaign by using Sympathetic Vibration to collapse an entire mountain on the final BBEG

>Squad needs to breach Hive City spire
>can't get up without wading through bad guys

Playing Exalted 2e

>Party is camped outside a city in the North, along with dozens of refugees.
>City refuses to open gates, despite agreement with these tribes to protect them in their times of need.
>Varajtul (big-ass three armed cannibals) come charging out of the woods.

>Party leaps into action, trying to fight off the hordes and get the refugees inside the gate.
>Trying to open gatehouse. Fight a staged retreat.
>Party Eclipse says "The fuck is this shit!?"

>Eclipse reveals a magitech motorcycle; rides it up the outer walls of the city, over the inner wall, then rides the bike THROUGH the city gate.
>Charges out into the middle of the Varajtul.
>Proceeds to beat the shit out of the Varajtul, using the motorcycle as a club.

And that's how he became the party's de facto leader. He then proceeded to murder the nobility using a demon lion in a dress, because he thought their last words being "Dandy lion" (dandelion) would be hilarious.

Wish I had recent ones, these are about one of my old characters in D&D, a rogue with a penchant for traps and explosives.

> Spend a large amount of time creating hilarious amounts of explosives, including vials of alchemists fire and good old fashioned frag grenades
> Party ends up travelling to an abandoned temple to relieve it of a sacred item before an advancing army of evil gets ahold of it
> Party races there, gets in, finds the item, goddess of fates appears to me and pauses time
> Get led outside by the temple by the goddess as she starts rambling on about the fate of existence and I get a monologue the GM had prepared
> End up in front of the enemy army who is surprisingly close to the temple, apparently by magic means
> Spot the vampire leading the army and his three kindred, essentially the vampire's harem
> Goddess continues spouting exposition as I laugh gleefully and start balancing vials of alchemist fire on each of them while leaving a bunch of grenades around their feet
> Get led back into the temple, goddess disappears, extremely loud explosion from outside
>XP for days, son

Later though:

> Avoiding extremely pissed off and smoking vampire by hiding up a tree in a forest
> Startled by him appearing on the branch next to me and threatening to hang me from the tree with my own intestines
> Oh shit run
> Botch Jump check to leap from branch to branch hard
>Plummet to the ground, fail tumble check
> Normally fall damge isn't an issue, but at that point my character had vials of alchemist's fire and grenades on his belt
>Instant Viking funeral, just add gravity

Hoo boy, lemme tell you this one. I've been running a glorified game of pretend with coinflips for a while now. One guy gets cut off from the party, so he ends up playing what's basically a Pikachu as a temporary character while his swordsman is out of commission. There's this other guy who is the party's tank at this point, complete with insane power armor. They then proceed to kill a boss in a floating city by having the guy with the power armor THROW THE PIKACHU AT IT and call enough coinflips in a row to crit succeed. But it's not just that, no. The Pikachu bounces off three buildings, knocks over a fruit stand, hits the mayor in the head, knocks over ANOTHER market stall and gets everything in a 10-foot radius covered in apple jelly, and THEN hits the boss going at some insane speed I don't even remember.

>>32919564

While I'm at it, I now run a Mage game for the same player and, amongst other things, he has made contact with sentient dream-bees (the list of things he's done with said bees is quite extensive), fucked a moon, and created immortality by building the info-god and having it steal people's souls and copies of their minds the instant before death so they can be rebuilt later.

He also tracked down Robespierre, the architect of the French Terror, down to New Jersey in 1971 and shot the guy as a joke for a Duke of Hell (whose dominion was lawyers, accountants, priests, and other thieves who take with the consent of the robbed).

It's been a wild ride.

Bit of backstory on this one:

>> Playing a HIGHLY homebrewed D&D game
>> Homebrew classes allowed and everyone has double hit points due to DM liking big numbers
>> couldn't join game due to scheduling complications, until last week, joining at lvl 8
>> decide to build a character using the Jumper Class, look it up
>> would be OP in a standard game, but in this campaign not so much
>> Also took a few levels into Ballet Fencer, A.K.A the Weiss Schnee Class, pic related
>> DM gave everyone who entered the game a weapon with any +2 enchantment of their choice
>>Discussed about getting the revolver rapier, long story, got it
>> Took compulsive gambler flaw for the fuck of it

Now for the session
>> my character was coming in in her home town
>> decide my first thing to do was con the party out of any loose gold they had, succeeded
>> the bet i put up was 50 gold overtop a bag of rocks, other player bet 5000
>> realize 30 minutes in that DM has no fluff
>> figure its up to me to describe my home town
>> create town layout, location of taverns and orphanages, personalities of NPCs all of the top of my head
>> apparently the party was searching for some elf chick, decide to go to my sources, the orphans
>> learn she was staying at a tavern in town
>> use jump power to steal the taverns log books to find her, all the while hitting on some random elf rouge we met in town
>>fast forward to the end f the day, we here windows broken upstairs
>> Dm says that by the time we got to the room they would be long gone
>> fuckthat.jpg
>> jump onto the roof, give chase
>> fight not meant to win, need to escape
>>every other PC has already ran, mostly because the chase aroused the guards
>> last action before escape, i jump infront of the assasin chick, touch attack to kiss her on the cheek, Shout "Never keep a lady wanting" and jump out

TL;DR created an entire town off the top of my head, nearly got the wizard killed, and got the party chased by guards all night

Well, there was some weird shit going on. One guy melted after his bones turned into highly radiated Tungsten. "Team Alpha" (later revealed at the end of the campaign to be the same people that formed Alpha Complex, of Paranoia fame) was going around exterminating mutants, possibly using some sort of rage-inducing mind control device, which was not good when it got a gym leader, who proceeded to slaughter a town with his Gyarados. The military did get involved at one point, and the region had martial law declared. Some people were looking for ways to stop the harmful radiation, but I was content gaining it's power, taking all the ranks in Immortality, Regeneration, and Metal Control that I could, making a radiocative temple fortress on the metal mountain, where my followers lived. Also took a shit ton of immunities, along with Affects Others and Ranged modifiers, so that no one on the mountain needed to sleep or eat. Eventually the legendaries got involved, and long story short, my mountain got thrown onto the moon (where I formed my own moon mutant colony). All in all, it was probably the best game I've ever been in
>>
I once played a pulpy sci-fi game I forget the name of, but it was essentially a world where everything worked like it did in 40s comic books. So you had fucking Flash Gordon space adventures, mad scientists evolving dinosaurs, super heroes and the pulpy Shadow-esque spy stuff.

Our Loon was a superpowered Luchador I can't remember the name of, but I remember it was something really silly in Spanish, so let's refer to him as El Loco for simplicity's sake. Anyway, El Loco was this super buff dude who could jump around and drop elbows on people and whatnot. His shtick was that he got a strength boost specifically when he used wrestling moves, and his flaw was that he could not remove his mask for any reason whatsoever.

So the party was supposed to infiltrate an illegal underground club. So we all dress for the occasion and manage to sneak our way inside, where we try to get the information we came here for. The thing is, we get stares from fucking everyone in the building, and we don't really understand why. We figured it has to be because we're the new guys, so we try to act cool. It's actually because we've completely forgotten about El Loco's character flaw, and are walking around with a 6'4" giant roid monster wearing a bright red luchador mask in a pinstripe suit.

So we get captured and thrown into cells beneath the club so they can interrogate us later. Since this is a pulp game, it's naturally cells with bars, even though that makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. Anyway, we try to break free for a while, with El Loco's attempts to brute force the cell door barely failing. So we're all brainstorming ways to lure the guards to open the cell, when suddenly El Loco pipes up.

"I put the cell door in a leg scissor."

We all just kind of look at him for a while and he explains that he gets a strength bonus when he uses a wrestling move. After a bit of coercion, the GM lets him try it, and he hurricanranas the goddamn cell door clean off its hinges. Fucking Loco.

>Party comes in, sees my guy fighting the super lawful good paladin like "wtf are you doing."
>Do so for awhile before I preach to the demons and turn them onto the god.
>Teammates use the distraction to hit the weakpoint and kill the god.

My group's Loon started out subtly, but has evolved into his main feature.

Earliest I can think of was his first test of our homebrew system's martial arts mechanics. His first fight was against an orc adult, protecting two smaller orcs. First thing he does is kick a child orc and handle the fight without a single wound. Although to eb fair he wasn't really the Loon of that campaign, most of the party were mildly retarded warriors of some calibur.

Later he made a psychic in a sci-fi game, same system, testing out the newly minted psionics our GM had been working on. By the grace of his rolls he had one of the best stat spreads we've yet seen in the system, and was one fo the best possible teleporters and telekinetics in the universe. He wanted something to move or not move, he could do it. The world was his play thing. His favorite method of removing a threat was to touch it and teleport it 2 miles straight up.

On one planet radioactive phenomenons create small radioactive rocks that provided some benefit to the person holding them, at the cost of easily reversible radiation poisoning, such as increased healing rate. He single handedly stole an entire repository of these rocks from a facility on the planet, and put them on our ship. without proper radiation sealing. Radiation compounds quadratically, not linearly. Thats how my character got severe radiation poisoning and refused to ever set foot near even slight radiation.

By our latest game, fantasy that I'm DMing, he's fully become the Loon. He expects heavy resistance, likely be shot at one sight? He walks up and knocks on the front door.He approaches every single problem with the idea that he's is invincible and undeafeatable. So far he's has not been proven wrong.

He did eventually get a promotion, after he took out a scarab with the combined materials of -

>the party warthog
>all of the party's c-12 explosives
>four dozen empty food tins, packed full of metal cutlery with a primed grenade at the bottom of each
>two tanks of flamethrower grade napalm
>a length of rope
>a brick
>a fair amount of timing and a remote detonator.

He lured the damn scarab down a tight stretch of buildings where he had the players loading the warthog, and dropped the brick on the accelerator himself - through a mixture of awesome timing and Covie zealotry the scarab impaled the 'hog on one of its front legs and he hit the trigger.

Blowing the fuckers leg clean off.

He then lead the charge to board the damn thing and took out the elite commander in. 1-1 fist fight.

Had my second session with this character, in which I killed the BBEG in the first session he is introduced; tried to fuck 2 different dragons, and nerfed a fellow PC by removing what is essentially his limit break. Which also need explanation
>> basically half the damage we take and give adds to a limit bar, and when that hits 100 we can do a metric shit-ton of damage

In fact that was the second time I made the DM fuck with that guys PC, because my limit was so strong we had to edit other limits

session will be in a second post, because post limit
>>
>>32929351
Actually this story starts 2 sessions ago, had to stop midway because stupid, see below
Right so:
>> Party goes to cave to figure out what bullshit is causing earthquakes and shit
>> all the while im cracking jokes and teleporting around town to make fluff where there is none
>> finally get to the cave, simple design with some pretty backgrounds, exactly what i expected from the DM
>> but at least i get to fight a fight we can win
>> Kill an earth dragon that looked like its horns were giant boombox speakers
>> proceed to hit the #td4w button everytime the dragon got a turn, made a counter attack, made a save, ect.
>> party dies of laughter everytime
>> kill that, gather some earth dust BS, essentially a way to upgrade my elemental damage on my revolver rapier
>> go downstairs and meet the boss
>> essentally simon from Gurren Laggan, except evil... i guess, never seen the show
>> simon kills a party member, who was dressed as a prinny from Disgaea, DM laughs and changes the music
>> GurranLagganIntro.mp3
>> Prinny dude transforms into Kamina, which we all agreed was hilariously stupid but we moved on
>> then he got Gurran as a, and i quote: Stand
At that point the stupidity was too much to handle so we quit for the night

Next week couldn't come fast enough
>> Start up the fight and we get a DMPC, some dude named Whoopa, no not joking on that one
>> Whoopa was with us since we entered the cave, my character has been hitting on him since he showed up, due to no reason other then im having fun and they can't stop me
>> so the fight actually began, stand user Kamina continued to be just as useless as he was before, chip damage galore
>> i continue to warp around the fight hitting and running as i see fit
>> rest of party taking alot of hard hits
>> Whoopa tanking lots of damage, gets limit to full
>> DM's limits were always cool, mainly because they did alot of damage, which we needed to do against Simon's summoned earth elemental
>> Limit goes off, Whoopa turns into a fucking platinum dragon wearing a top hat
>> i lose my shit, throughout my shenanigans i kept a stoneface and tried my best not to laugh, this was not one of those times
>> teammate offhandedly remarks "still wanna hit on him" to which i reply with a hardy FUCK YEAH
>> Whoopa continues to wreck shit, elemental goes down and BBEG simon, who at this point i didn't know was our BBEG tries to escape
>> DM says he is going to fly through a hole in the ceiling
>> i ask the DM how there is a hole up there, we're like 70 feet underground in a cave
>> essentially calling DM's bullshit
>> DM considers and has him half to get past us at the path down into the cave
>> i've already established that my character will ALWAYS give chase
>> Jump in front of Simon, roll a trip, nat 20 roll a grapple
>> Natural FUCKING 20
>> plenty of time for rest of party to catch up, we unleash some limits on him and he start to be close to death
>> Simon absorbs the magic earth dust we kicked up and heals like half his health back
At this point im considering that the DM wants Simon to live
...fuck that.

Stupid post limits;
>> in the middle of all this, someone has been casually walking into the fight
>> cue the mysterious swordsman, thats the only title we were given for him, walking up and threatening to fuck our shit in
>> apparently the party had encountered him before, and all agreed that we needed to run
>> My PC was NOT letting Simon escape, it would be too OOC and would be way to boring
>> convince party to push the offensive while i continue to grapple him down
>> on the last hit, the archer got the chance to do non-lethal damage if he so choose
>> cue about a half hour OOC discussion in the middle of a damage roll
>> I'm angry at Simon, mainly because this stupid shield spell he kept casting made my attacks do jack shit
>> Try my damnedest to convince the Archer, who we'll call Q, to kill the little fucker
>> i guess in real life i rolled a nat 20 diplomacy, because Q agreed to headshot the bastard
>> like all important characters that die, Simon gets a finally speech
>> big fantastic speech, he dies, Kamina cries, i think of how to get his body out of here to get some loot off of him
call me heartless, he made me waste turns damn it
>> speech ends, initiative returns and mysterious swordsman is glaring me down with bloddy rage in his eyes, and suddenly the warmage is starting to make Fort saves
>> for the first time my character is in danger
>> but i dont care, most of the party has taken way to much damage for my liking
>> BrilliantIdea.jpg
>>MS's turn, rolls a 5 and still barely misses my character, i proceed to almost lose shit again
>> my turn comes along, i jump myself and simons corpse to the entrance, drop it off and rinse and repeat
>> only allowed to jump 1 other person per turn, and with a party of 5 to get out and the swordsman able to kill in one hit, i think were fucked
>> get the warmage to the entrance next, random DM insisted Fort saves are never good in the middle of a fight

I had a player in a D&D 4E game that lived to do weirdass shit in combat. He was playing a bullywug ranger when this gem happened.

>Campaign has hit epic tier.
>The party has retreated from the BBEG, to rest after getting their asses beat.
>Ranger casts a ritual of giant size on his pet alligator "just because".
>He's got a 50 foot long gator. Alrighty then.

>We get to Ranger's turn.
>"I use my ring of flight to fly 100 feet into the air and end my turn."
>Wat.
>He spends the next four rounds doing this.
>"Okay, I use my daily to swap places with my pet."
>His 50 foot gator is on the ground.
>He's 500 feet in the air above the enemy.
>Oh fuck.

Should be last one;
>> Warmage finally fails his save, gets infected with evil and starts blasting lightning bolts at the people taking the long way to the enterance
>>thats when i try to escape with my loot and fuck off back to town
>> self preservation and all, its in character
>> DM figures out that this is quickly turning into a TPK sans me, and while an entire session of my wacky antics would be funny, DM disagreed
>> as i start to leave the cave, DM called a reflex save
>> succeed, then see what it was for, a big as hell blue dragon was boring a tunnel through the wall into the cave
>> at this point my character thinks nothing else could possibly go wrong, a 3 way offensive of fights we couldn't possibly win
>> so i did the first this that came to mind, rolled diplomacy to flirt with the dragon
>> turns out the blue dragon was Whoopa's friend and possibly lover
>> and so the planed turned from just me leaving to getting the dragons together to fuck some people up
>> tell DM i want to jump the dragon with me, roll to succeed without being crushed
>> Nat 20, as if the RNG gods personally liked my BS
>> dragons meet up, and while they fend off our former party member and the swordsman, im jumping people out ASAP

Fast forward we get out of the cave, loot the boss for some really good shit, like some glasses that double crit range, and we run away because the dragons didn't actually kill either of the threats

I was later informed by the DM that the warmage was "dead" now, and i had derailed the next 4 sessions by killing this story sections BBEG in his first appearance

So thats the story of how the Jumper got tunred down 4 what, killed a BBEG long before his time, flirted with 2 separate dragons, got a fellow player killed off and reached level 9

Thanks for reading if you did

Just came back from a game where some weird shit happened.

In short, we destroyed an ancient Remorhaz by smashing it's face in then giving it the worst headache of all time, then carried it on about 30 Tenser's Floating Discs because we need it to melt an iceberg.

>>32930839
I'm "Qu" from that campaign, and I need to tell you something.

You are dumbest, most dickish shitlord I know, and those last 3 sessions were the funniest goddamned sessions I've played.

(Something he neglected to mention is killing the BBEG thing was 3 days ago, we're all still kinda laughing about it.)

I used to play a superhero RPG, the original Marvel Superhero RPG. It was classic comic book stuff, mutants and suits of power armor and magic. That kind of stuff. There were four of us in the beginning, though one guy dropped out because of issues. Pretty much all of us were The Loon, even the GM.

The entire thing was pretty ridiculous from start to finish, ranging from me rolling a ridiculously over powered character from start to killing a kaiju in New York. I think what really took the cake was near the end, where we all pretty unanimously decided that this was very silly, and we really should stop. My character had regeneration somewhere between Wolverine and Deadpool. Better that Wolverine, not quite as good as Deadpool. As such, he had a tendency to do stupid stuff for no reason.

One such was jumping from a moving passenger jet without a parachute. Granted, this wouldn't kill him but it would put him out of commission for several in game months as he regenerated. Well, there is a mechanic that allows characters to evade certain types of attacks, completely negating any and all damage. As a bit of a jest, I asked the GM what slamming into the Earth at terminal velocity would count as. His reply was that it would technically be a charge attack levied by the Earth against my character. Guess what was one of the attacks that could be negated?

So, I rolled the dice for no real reason than I could. I didn't expect anything to happen, largely because what could happen, right? So naturally I roll a flat 100, which in this game is like rolling a nat 20 except better.

So, according to the dice, I managed to dodge a charge attack from the Earth. As the saying goes, flying is just throwing yourself at the ground and learning to miss. Or in this case, dodge.

In deathwatch I had a player that launched a rhino off a lift that was going up into a walking hive city superweapon (that's another story) into an ork jet fighter about a kilometer above the ground, he then took over what was left of the still flying wreck and crash landed so they all didn't die.

That same session they took the walking hive city superweapon over, figured out it could fly, he flew it into the upper atmosphere of the planet and crippled the warboss's capital ship in a literal giant walking spider city bot vs spaceship mele.

Once I pissed off the BBEG so badly he scrapped every plan he had just to try killing me with a speech about how I was going to kill him, use the money to build some orphanages, and they'd be the only way anyone would ever know him, and that would be as a a plaque saying "to the hamster fucker, without who none of this would have been possible."

The same fucker at level 2 set a swinging log trap on fire, and beat a troll to death with it.
He also caught a living mountain's fist mid punch. I love that crazy fucker.

>>32946105
If I could take a guess, a dragon chagrin it's lazor without the ability to output probably results in explosion within, and it's nostrils burstign into flames and rupturing.

Actually, holy shit, this is the most viable way to kill a dragon ever, just seal it's mouth mid fire charge for self damage.
>>
>>32946152
Yeah... no.
>>
>>32946190
Have you ever seen what happens if you seal a persons mouth and nostrils off, and you say cause them to throw up/ burp

Something either pops due to the sheer pressure, or they drown in their own bodily fluids.

Dragons would be no exception.

Actually, fire breathing and sealing off the mouth and nostrils would probably burn out all the oxygen in the body, causing the dragon to pass out.

Could've sworn dragons were immune to their own breath weapons.
>>
>>32946280
Is a dragon immune to having to breathe air and the pressure of explusing their breath attacks which would build up without release?

Could have sworn their was plenty of fluff with dragons who had exceptionally strong breath which caused a number of medical health issues.

I mean, lets imagine a Dragon has a small throat based internal wound caused by magical damage in the breath track, that shit'd turn into a surgeon's fucking nightmare in a few months given dragon lifestyle
>>
>>32946350
I'm not going to argue about selective realism in RPGs with you.
>>
>>32946615
I mean if it's a ethereal non air dragon sure, but I'm pretty sure they do need air.

Besides, you'd have to be a statistic piece of shit GM to not allow such a good use of role playing and actual planning and brains to solve such an encounter.

Like causing a hydra to pass out from blood loss due to it growing to many heads and having too many for it's body to support the weight.

I think being Kralli the Jester qualifies me as a Loon, but the character wasn't long-lived enough to get into REALLY insane shit.

haha, i was the loon of my adventuring group.

things i've succeeded at in-game:
-firing a rock-eating hammer from a half-broken crossbow into an earth elemental, striking it squarely with a 20 and a 19
-made a dwarf that threw weapons as a primary means of attack, slew a hydra from two floors down with a thrown short sword (critical strike)
-critical miss to hit a thing with a crossbow, followed by 20,20,19 - killed a thing outside the tower i was fighting in.

meanwhile, i can't hit anything with a simple attack roll, and fail utterly when i employ conventional tactics like 'i hit it with my sword'. but nah, if i leap from the balcony wielding a chair, i'll roll incredibly. it's like the universe wants me to be absurd.

>Playing Dark Heresy with a game group of four guys (including myself) and two girls. One of the girls is the GM for the group.
>The party consists of, an inquisitorial storm trooper, a clerk, a tech priest, a Sister of Battle and a guardsman(me).
>Game has already gotten weird. Fighting a particularly rowdy band of slanneshi cultists in an old, crumbling hive ruled by corrupt nobles. Criminals were also running around with flack armour and tau pulse rifles.

>We're sent in to find her to improve relations with the nobles.
>Eventually we make it into the third storage chamber.
>Some guards are there, nothing that can't be solved by shooting indiscriminately. There are also shipping containers.
>Search the shipping containers, thus-far things were normal packages of food, scrap metal, engine parts and assorted equipment.
>The first container contains a lot of children, orphans to be precise. They were kidnapped from an orphanage a few days ago.
>The second, third and forth containers hold heavy weapons and contraband tau pulse rifles, along with ammo.
>The fifth contains a bunch of nude women. Including the noble's daughter.
>The final two contain Chimera APCs and clothes.
>The building is surrounded by cultists who demand our surrender.
>GM's idea was that we barricade ourselves in until extraction arrives.
>Nope.gif

Things only got weirder from their. For example:

>Falling from sub orbit while battling chaos raptors
>Fighting t greater daemon of slannesh that cried in pleasure when hit with a power fist
>The ordo chromos out of no-where.
>seducing a rouge trader
>Inquisitor becoming more and more yandere
>My characters constantly dieing. Leading to a streak of me playing inventive suicide bombers until the GM banned me.
>Taking a cruiser single handidly
>Crashing said cruiser into an enemy fortress hive.
>Two NPC, lesbian SoBs joining the retune.
>Sending a star into supernovae to take out a 'nid hive fleet.
>saving a planetary governess from genestealers.
>Nearly everybody yelling "Get Rekt" at some point.
>>
>>32959620
I think these need to be described in more detail, ser
and possibly added to the wiki
>>
>>32959715
>tech priest seduced the cult leader
He stuck his mechanderites into her places. He was unavailable for the next few sessions. In game he was taking a long bath in holy machine oils and taking penitence. IRL, the player was away on business.
>Falling from sub orbit while battling chaos raptors.
We boarded their stormbird to rescue some important NPC. We exploded something we shouldn't have and ended up falling back to the planet. We battled their unit of raptors while falling, I died when I was beheaded by their leader. But everyone else survived by using grav-chutes.
>Fighting a greater daemon of slannesh that cried in pleasure when hit with a power fist.
That was weird as fuck. Died when I speared it into a tank of promethium and detonated my melta charges.
>The ordo chronos out of no-where.
They appeared and acted as NPCs for a while before leaving us a cryptic warning.
>seducing a rouge trader
we needed passage back to the inquisitor. SoB made the ultimate sacrifice. her anal virginity
>Inquisitor becoming more and more yandere
Everything we talked with ended up dead to the level that my myriad of ever-dieing charaters were used to interact with everyone.
>My characters constantly dieing. Leading to a streak of me playing inventive suicide bombers until the GM banned me.
I got angry at the constant deaths. The worst was leaning against a metal railing that then collapsed, causing me to fall into a group of orks.
>Taking a cruiser single handidly
Tech priest vented everything except from the bridge, we had taken that.
>Crashing said cruiser into an enemy fortress hive.
Self explanatory.
>Two NPC, lesbian SoBs joining the retune.
The GM wanted a romance sub plot as the two SoB's became more bi.
>Sending a star into supernovae to take out a 'nid hive fleet.
remember meeting the ordo chromos? yea we were waitiong for them.
>>
>>32959991
>saving a planetary governess from genestealers.
We rescued her while she was "pregnant" with a pure strain geanstealer. The removal operation was a success.
>Nearly everybody yelling "Get Rekt" at some point.
Self explanatory.

If there's one you want me to explain in detail then just ask. One at a time though.
