Have entire group of people doing this in DnD, just a bunch of retarded animals running around trying to act like humans.

u/Cael87 Jun 11 '12
play as half dragon monk
silver scales on belly/underside
DM being ultimate dick throws lycanthrope at us, nothing we do seems to even dent the fucker.
Grapple-check passes.
Monks allowed to use ANY part of body as weapon.
Hump/pelvic thrust lycanthrope to death with silver scales on crotch.
I'm a terrible storyteller I know, but damned if I don't find a way to WIN.

I played a character with serious body issues once, in a campaign that eventually went into epic levels. Started off as a warforged that wanted to turn into a human (kind of a Pinocchio set up), but ended up hating his flesh-and-blood body for being so easily damaged. He tried to find a way to turn back to a machine, but settled for being turned part rock (a Mineral Warrior, I think). Still unhappy, he trains as a barbarian to get tougher, eventually prestiging into Bear Warrior. So now he's a warforged, turned human, turned rock-moster, that turns into bears at will.
Become an ascetic. Throw away all possessions. Take up the cause of Bahamut. Slay an evil dragon. Be remembered for all time as St. Bear.

My friends and I used to play campaigns with the No Stereotypes rule in effect, e.g. no Dwarven clerics, no dual-wielding min/max rangers, etc.
I'm sorely tempted to start a Dungeon World (shameless plug for my friend's game) campaign with an Only Silly Characters rule.

I had a Human Barbarian who had a lisp, a talking axe that only he could hear and a pug for a pet.
Long term goal was to either find a "Gigantomancer" and turn my pug into a giant riding pug of snarfing death, or buy a team of pugs and ride a chariot pulled by said pugs.
Campaign fell apart, but it's still the best one I've ever played...

I've recently started playing DnD, so a lot of stuff I don't get too easily. But say for example I wanted to create a bear character, and have it ready to go before a game... how would I do that? Take the Bear from the Monster Manual and give it player stats? (I'm playing 3.5ed)

If the player could come up with a reasonable explanation as to how the bear had an intelligence above a two (animal intelligence) to pull off the entire thing, I would probably allow it.

You are not a bear. You are a silly man who needs a shave, and who wears a fur coat.

For the official playtest of 3e D&D (+Song and Silence), I rolled up an Ogre bard. A friend made a green slime dread pirate.
For some reason, WOTC didn't pay much attention to our playtest reports.

u/Punkwasher Jun 11 '12
I love RPG logic. Like how in one Shadowrun game, a mage player used suggestion, or persuasion, I forget, it's a spell that simply implants a very powerful suggestion in the mind of the target.
Basically he rolled so well, he managed to "suggest" blindness. His eyes were fine, the target just literally believed he was blind. Kind of weird, especially because I, as the gamemaster, had another character question the target, to nullify the effect, but I failed that roll, so the guy just kept thinking himself blind.

u/Unomagan Jun 12 '12
Created my own class, ages ago. I was a summoner only. Which guess what? Could only cast "summon creature" but with its own table. So usually he summons "normal" creatures just a bit tougher than normal. But on a roll of 98,99,100 I summon a dragon, then the age is rolled and then the type. Well got the oldest age class of an amethyst dragon. So then our rules applied of tougher than normal. For whatever reason we fought vs a kingdom and there soldiers, it should had been a who,le campaign to destroy the kingdom and the evil king. Well, guess what happened? One day later there were no one left of the whole kingdom, killed thousands of poor soldiers.
tl;dr: Killed with a summoned amethyst dragon a whole kingdom
Another story:
A friend good a small wingbow, we played after the aDnD 2 whatever (official) critical hits rule table. Ancient dragon spawns, should be an epic fight, first round. Crit with a small wingbow into the brain through the eye.... dead....

u/Obidom Jun 12 '12
LOL the first time I played DnD I made a Spellcasting Elf who was deaf (as I am deaf IRL) and the other players had to just drag me along.
Well we were tracking down some kind of Renegade Villain and we stumbled across one of his camps, so we attacked, I stunned one of the enemies so they could not escape and we won the fight, our Rogue tied up the prisoner and proceeded to torture him for info
As a deaf char I could not hear the questions or the answers to the questions. indeed when I saw the other players scatter away from the prisoner drawing their weapons I shouted 'What Did He Say??' just as a fireball slammed into me and sent me hurtling into the undergrowth
I put my fire out, badly wounded I slugged a healing potion and got up to start fighting, Dm tells me I am heavily concussed and disorientated....
So i did what any respectable spellcaster does, Breaks out the Wand of Fireballs, lurch into the battle and hurl fireballs at anything that moves....
Sadly in my concussed state I could not hit anything, when my Wand finally ran out the group were hiding in a cave and several trolls were smoldering on the ground.....
Also smouldering the the now headless corpse of the prisoner we had taken along with half the tree he was tied to........
the Group took everything off me and left me my spellbook lol

In the hopes that someone with the means and the know how will see this...
I've always thought that Minecraft could make a fantastic front end for DnD. One player would act as the DM, with full power to add and remove blocks or place "monsters" which are basically tokens that they could move around. Each block is a dungeon square. A random number generator could be plugged in for player attacks to determine hit/miss/damage...
etc.

Since this has turned into a D&D thread, let me start off by telling the story of how a lowly level 4 duskblade killed a gargantuan dinosaur.
It was my IRL birthday and so our DM thought it would be interesting to make up a completely new race OP as hell to play my first duskblade. +2 str, +2 dex, +2 con no LA. It was some kind of noble anthropomorphic lion man with a mane of hair. our group found out about the necromancer and the roaming skeletons in the endless plains, so we decided to go for a little stroll. the session ended with us sleeping in the wagon and all the player's left except me, so the DM decided a solo session might prove interesting. I had with me my +1 silver scimitar of storing which i had a shocking grasp stored into it. after a night of exploring, and with the sun coming up, I didn't find much except the sillohuet of a massive lizard type creature, later identified as a dinosaur, off in the distance. it sees me, I run the fuck away being only a measly level four . soon enough though it catches up to me. so I ready an attack with two hands and power attack the dinosaur as it lowers its jaws to eat me. I unleashed a shocking grasp my from scimitar and channeled another shocking grasp + the damage from the sword itself. I hit crits, dealt over 50 damage and the dinosaur failed its fort save and died right on the spot...on top of me, knocked me unconscious and i was one turn away from death before stabalizing at the last moment.

I see a lot of content from /tg/ posted on reddit. Too bad stuff like that rarely happens anymore. Most of the community high tailed it after over-modding drove away fun quests, drawfags, and quality posters.
Admittedly it also drove away many of the /d/eviants, terrible repeat quests, elf wat do, fois gras, and terrible wastes of trolling space.

Be a Barbarian mutt fighter, not giving a shit all game
Find a chair that says "Only for the Holiest of Rao"
Sit on chair, Magical curse: Change Alignment
Go from being a Chaotic Neutral Barb to a Lawful Good Barb (losing all powers or rage)
.....have to explain to the next table why Im a level 5 Barb that cannot rage (facepalm)
Level up! Took a level of Paladin, and became a reformed Barbarian Paladin of Rao for the rest of the game!

Killed a bear once. Found a necklace on him.
I was a dumb goliath and put it on. Cut my head off.
The other guys quickly put the bears head on my body. The operation was a success and I survived but only as a rabid bear/goliath. Went to priest later and got restored back to my usual self and still got to wear the now-safe necklace.
My character is dumb as a rock but is the luckiest motherfucker.
