"I use my knowledge skill"
"How?"
[QUOTE=Dalndox;46181023]One of my favorite things to do was when my party would check doors all the time, despite me almost never trapping doors during my campaign.
"I'm checking the door"
"It's a door."[/QUOTE]
this post in and of itself is an elaborate door trap I can sense it
"I'm gonna look for traps." Natural 1
"You aren't entirely sure if there's any traps in the room. But, some of the floor tiles do seem to stick out an extra millimeter above the rest, and is it just you, or is that a super thin string stretched across the hallway?"
Unless the GM explicitly states there is no trap we can only assume there is.
Destroy everything just to be safe, and kill all NPCs so that no one can betray you.
Whether or not either of those signifies an actual trap is entirely up to the gm.

I bet the door's a Mimic.
Actually, I bet the whole wall is a Mimic, and door is it's tongue!
"Are you sure?" is basically the most terrifying thing a dm can say
"I roll knowledge to lick the knob"
"what"
"to see if people have been here recently, maybe figure out if it's cultists or kobolds. I'm sure I can figure out something from the taste"
"roll for constitution"
"I said knowledge"
"Constitution. You clearly failed knowledge and I want to get straight to how poisoned you are"

That happened to me once, tried to open an iron grate, fucking mimic.
Then I punched it to death, beat up a vampire that was attacking the cleric, chased the vampire over a volcanic vent, beat an iron door down (we had the keys, but it was taking too long) and the crit the fuck out of it in a flurry and splattered it across the room.

We've actually had a similar situation running Undermountain.
The wall (Mimic) grabbed the gnome bard off of another guy's shoulder and held him ransom for more food. :v:

And to think getting two more people stacked on top of you and the poisoned tipped spikes didn't impale you further! You should have been nerfed for steroid abuse!

Well, those were only 2d6 damage, and I was lucky enough to not get a roll over 10, so I didn't take damage, if I had then I'd get poisoned too.
OHOHOHHOHOHO I am SOOOO fucking pissed right now!
I just found out that one of my players fucking fudged his dice rolls like a fucking champ when rolling up his character. Motherfucker called me and asked if he could roll a new character before the session we had last weekend on the ground that he didn't like his character and wanted to try something he hadn't played before. Motherfucker apparently didn't roll under a 13, in fact he rolled 3 16's, a 17, 13, and 18. Now I try to trust my players quite a bite, and just figured he got REALLY lucky, I mean, they are dice, shit happens right? OHOHOHOHO, FUCK NOPE, asshole rolled 5d6's for his stats and subtracted the lowest 2, plus I'm pretty sure there were a few re-rolls in there. The way you do in in 3.5, 4d6 sub the lowest. Or 3d6 straight with one reroll depending on how you want to play. There is no 5d6 rule that I am aware of other than epic variant rules that aren't even in the book.
I really fucking hate it when people abuse my trust, and shit sucks for him because he's going to die next session and have to re-roll another character in front of all of us. That's four sessions and 3 characters for one guy. Since he only made it 2 sessions with the first character. Everybody gets one freebie drop, sort of a courtesy for if they try something new and don't like it as much as something else.
I'm not even sure if I'm going to call him out for his bullshit next session, but he's been a massive fucking That Guy for all four of them so far. I have six players and honestly, the guy who wanted to play a dire wolf is looking like a better pick over him at this point.

Oh my god, do I have a relevant story. There was once this guy who was RPing as a gold-hoarding Druid for some reason and one time the big bad held him ransom for an enormous amount of gold. He told the rest of our party to tell the BB to fuck off even though he was the captive :v:

Make his death fucking spectacular and [i]please[/i] report back here in detail.
[editline]8th October 2014[/editline]
My characters almost never die is one thing I've noticed, now that I think of it. Hell, one of my DM friends re-uses some of my really old characters as NPCs occasionally because he liked them so much.
I honestly can't imagine people fudging their rolls because one of the most entertaining things about DnD is pulling off big stunts with limited stats.
should be something grandiose yet really unceremonious
like a swarm of sturges summoned by a blatant trap, attaching and flying away with him
Get him to piss off a dryad, fudge his saving throw so that he gets charmed, then allow the dryad to open him up like a pillowcase. One good fudge deserves another.
I'll definitely make it spectacular. His last character went off to try and become a trident salesman (Fucking piece of shit tried to argue in a fake rule with me regarding the trident, long story, part of the first two sessions I didn't post about, there are no tridents anywhere else in the world now, and all blacksmiths become inconceivably angry if you try to explain to them what one is and why you want it, because apparently you're too good for one pointed spears or a normal pitch fork huh? Piece of shit.) and I have yet to actually give them the full ending to that. It ends with him falling into the cargo hold while on some rough seas and impaling him self on the entire stock of tridents. They're going to find this ship wrecked on a shore with a cargo of rusty as fuck tridents with a waterlogged and rotting corpse impaled on many of them.
i distinctly remember something about tridents ceasing to exist when he tried to fuck with it

That sounds like something I would do.

A wizard puppy.

I decided he could roll the dire wolf and we'll see how I feel about it this next session, but we were going to nerf it to pretty insane levels. Basically, super nerf racial mods and it uses class hit dice. It also has to have low charisma naturally, because it is a fucking dire wolf, and failure to keep it on a leash of some kind in towns will result in some very unhappy guards. Things like that. Guy wants to play dog, I'll let his closet furry fantasy spark, but I'm still going to be real about it. Hopefully he follows my advice and pre-rolls an actual character in case he wants to abandon the thing.
I mean, he's not going to fudge the dice rolls, so I don't really give that much of a fuck.
edit: he wants to play barbarian. Uhh, K. Idk how a dog is going to swing a sword or anything, but K. Suspension of disbelief or he has to make a pretty compelling case as to why it can use its mouth for sword swinging or w/e. I would have picked monk honestly.
edit: I'm classifying this as a reward for snitching out on the cheater. Otherwise, well, it'd have been way more work on his part for me to allow this.
My Iron Gods GM wants to add Mythic.
I don't think he knows the Champion path has a Tier I ability that multiplies all range increments by 5, which will mean my gunslinger can get no-penalty touch AC attacks with his musket at 200 feet, and similarly accurate attacks with advanced firearms at 750 feet.
Time to become the most ridiculous sharpshooter this side of Golarion.

Have you never pet a fucking dog? Wasteland 2 has a fucking buff when a dog is in your party called "PUPPY!" that gives you bonus charisma. How would a wolf not have high charisma? Bitches would be lining up to pet it. No no, he should have a really high charisma, hell maybe even a bonus, but shouldn't be allowed to get Language: Common, and therefor suffer massive penalties to EVERYTHING charisma related when trying to talk to people. It might look fuckoff useless, but actually that would be great for helping someone else's charisma role. Oh but don't tell him the last part, he has to figure it out on his own. He shouldn't take penalties to "pet me" and "give me food" though.

Man I was underleveled when I stumbled across him, def one of the most tooth-grinding fights in the game for me, took like eight tries and he's LIGHT YEARS from the nearest fire
I can't wait for the guy to get to level 20 and get his own human child princess!
