Good Idea/Bad Idea in RPGs:
Good idea: Asking the thief to check out the passage ahead of you for traps. Bad idea: Insulting the thief and then asking him if the passage ahead of you is trapped. -------------------- Good idea: Casting fireball to destroy the waves of goblins rushing you. Bad idea: Casting fireball at the waves of onrushing goblins in a 20x20 room. -------------------- Good idea: Lining up your fighters shoulder to shoulder to cut down the line of kobolds Bad idea: Forgetting to make sure there's not an invisible mage with a lightning bolt off to your right just waiting for the fighters to line up shoulder-to-shoulder. -------------------- Good idea: Dimension dooring next to a line of pole-arm bearing goblins to hit them with a cone of cold. Bad idea: Casting the cone so that it misses the one right next to you. -------------------- Good idea: Pulling the pin and throwing the grenade at your enemies. Bad idea: Forgetting to make sure that the bullet-proof window between you and the enemy is open before throwing the grenade. -------------------- Good Idea Charging round a corner with an elephant gun after a mad occultist. Bad Idea Charging round a corner with an unloaded elephant gun after a mad occultist. -------------------- Good Idea Climbing a tree to avoid a Monster. Bad Idea Climbing a tree in Plate Armor to avoid a Monster and falling on your back. Five things you DON'T want your players to say: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Ranger wearing plate mail in a misty echoing crypt: "I try to move silently" 2.Apprentice to mage "By the way master, I finally shot that pesky owl that kept following you around." 3.Party fighting a band of thieves in a 4X3X4m room, when the mage says, with serious tone: "Hell, I cast a fireball, THAT'll teach'em." 4.Party laying on a hillside spying on the Imperial Army of Darkness commanded by Gul the Necromancer himself (+/- 10,000 troops) "Hmmm, if we attack from the rear, do we get bonuses on our attack roll??" 5.Paladin as the lone survivor of a party of 7 facing an army of evil and undead creatures, which just slaughtered his fellow adventurers: "Huh, why should I run? I got protection from evil in a 15ft radius, THEY can't touch me" (last words) [ 01-24-2003, 11:06 AM: Message edited by: Morgeruat ]
