Enforcer84 Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Ever (as a GM or a Player) Seriously miscalculate the ability of the foe you were facing? Two examples: Way back in Highschool, my 7th grader brother wanted to run a campaign, so my best friend and I made some characters and oen of the first encounters is a group of thugs protecting a dweeby accountant. The Accountant was a link to a major crime lord and my character, a macho ninja wannabe lays out three of the thugs and tries to intimidate the dweeb only to find out that he is a Brick, and that being the mastervillain's accountant is only one of his duties. The guy wipes the floor with my ninja, as his first shot stuns me as does the subsequent grab and smash. I am out. My buddies character, a low level brick with mid level mental powers captures the accountant and spends the rest of the campaign laughing at my sorry butt. 2) This one involves a martial artist in a playboy bunny outfit, she was a henchwoman of Foxbat's and it turns out he picked the costume, she was quite skilled and very dedicated. She worked for Foxbat because he saved her grandmother from an assault by rival assassins. This time it was someone elses character that had to explain he got beat up by a play boy bunny.

CrosshairCollie Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Argh ... trying to respond to this and my cats keep tromping over the bloody keyboard. >"< *mew* Anyway, yeah, I've done this. Some moderately flaky villain in an old game had agents called 'The Men In Bowlers', a set of finely dressed proper British gentlemen who carried umbrellas, and spoke like John Cleese. Of course, those umbrellas were hidden radiation guns that did 4d6 AP EKA. Got caught VERY flat footed and was VERY glad that character regenerated.

death tribble Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I flat footed someone else by making him think that he was facing Loud Foul the Dispised from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and that a Yorkshire Terrier dog was Nom, a sand gorgon (as I recall). He never really forgave me for that but he did have clues that all was not what it seemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
