>Critical Shit Done last session by one of our players. 1 damage. At the opposite end of the spectrum, another player managed to do 54 damage in the same session by scoring a critical hit with a simple thrown knife.
>Steam Train I've done plenty of this in the past, mostly through the careful use of GMPCs. Oddly, the players don't seem to mind either, but I've still been trying to avoid it lately just in case.
>David & Goliath, Did you just punch out Cthulu? One of our PCs tends to do both of these with alarming regularity. He's pretty much the de-facto protagonist because of this. Unlike the Grendel of /tg/ fame, this player merely has average luck with dice, but has to instead rely on a combination of JUST AS PLANNED and his character's surprising toughness.
>What's appropriate CR? A deliberately impossible encounter for the above player, namely a foe who will simply deflect any attack he can make. Through various kinds of trickery, he still managed to end up in a situation where he had a 98% chance of winning outright... and then rolled that critical failure that was the only thing that could foil his plan.
>No, That's Not It... Unlocked. Probably. Now if I could only remember when...
>Genderswap Ahem. Do NPCs count? In any case, unlocked for many of my fellow players. Some of them pull it off well, others can't roleplay either male or female characters very well yet.
>Time to play THE GAME Unlocked over and over again in our game, most notably when the aforementioned de-facto protagonist picked up an armored enemy and used him as an improvised weapon. |
