Does writing a backstory that makes me the legal heir to over a hundred nations count? Because Prince Albert, the paladin, died pretty quickly after it was revealed that he had access to the entire national treasury.
A brand-new character? Shit, as another PC, I'd be in on killing you, think of the reward your many jealous dukes and barons would give a lackey that offs such a target!
A knife in the gut if you're lucky. Those types don't leave loose ends, especially ones that have been shown to turn on someone they worked with previously.
My death essentially started a world war after I explained what kind of fallout would ensue. I literally designed the character to be a political lynch pin. Pull it out, and bodies start falling.
Does making ridiculously overpowered character count?
The DM had to roll out the big guns for me... they rolled right over the others, and i could still not be hit with a rolled 19... But I guess I'm not the only one, who managed this once or twice.
i was playing dark heresy for the first time and took around an hour to build my first character and the first battle he was in one shot the one guy who was a key bad guy on accident thous ending the game. the saddest part was i missed who i was aiming at hit the guy and rolled crit and kept rolling 6 confirmation crits so i did 3d10 + 60
I got in an out of game fight with a DM of mine about one of the players getting around the "no electronics" rule by using his Ipad for "rolls." Mostly he looked at cat pics...
I feel so sorry for the ship now!
Also, it absolutly explains what Cory was hearing last time.
Surprisingly enough, it was real.
Also: awsome splash page!!!!
Quoting "The Gamers 1&2 and Monty Python" non-stop. GM insisted on continuing the game. Another player said these glorious words: "Come on, don't interrupt the fun for the adventure."
I was unable to stop laughing for quite a while.
Explain to me, right now, if those characters are so unkillable, why they don't solve the problem.
NOW.
If you have a lawful good character who is unstatted and unkillable, your players are going to feel like they're doing grunt work at best, because even if they fuck up the world is, ultimately, fine.
Never Stat Cthulu. Never Stat Thor. Always Stat The Big Good. Because if the Big Good is put on the same level as a god, you get the Elminster Problem. Never invite the Elminster Problem to your campaign.
I've actually been working on a campaign setting that has an Unwinnable Boss Fight as part of the world history. The character isn't even statted, that way I can justify "He burns every last one of you into a pile of ashes and cinders, without so much as moving a muscle. Roll new chars." as a response to any players who wanna try to fight him.
Best part is that this NPC is Chaotic Neutral. He already took out the Big Bad Chaotic Evil guy earlier in the world's history, and his Lawful Good brother, who's just as invincible and unstatted, is a super nice guy who's a head of state for one of the world's nations.
Had a friend who told the DM to do the wrong homework for class over the weekend. I mean, he got it wrong as well, but still...
Anyhow, his backstory was that Rio, his character was on the run from his two ex-girlfriends, both of whom he'd basically left at the altar. They'd taken offence, naturally, and had pursued him, forming a coalition of jilted lovers when they met up, actually becoming friends. Oh, and taking levels in barbarian and ranger along the way, as well as multiclassing into Earth and Water Disciples. Rio was a Fire disciple.
Anyhow, that fateful eve, his girlfriends caught up, just as two of our rl friends decided to join the party. Guess who they ended up playing.
They made his life a living hell for the rest of the campaign, much to the rest of our amusement.

I may have shared this story before, but it's appropriate to this story time. So we were playing a final fantasy campaign, and i base my character on gilgamesh. he's loud hammy and loves to brag, but no one-believes him. I'm, naturally, playing the character as oblivious to his surrounding and having a ton of fun, when the DM says we're about to have the quest-giver come down. then says "oh god" he breaks down into laughter. we ask him what's wrong, and he explains that he rolled the characters weaknesses at random, and got "fear of clowns". the guy comes down, takes one look at me and runs shrieking back upstairs. for the rest of the quest, he "leads" from behind while whimpering. i was really sad that the campaign didn;t get continued.
i may have deliberately made it worse, by ponintg out my "warpaint" was in a grin of victoy and showing of the conical hat and pom-pom i won from the gnomes after that. but i tried to lighten the mood. with jokes and laughing.
