I rolled up Luke today to play as a D&D character. He's a Bard with pyrotechnic craft and a repeating crossbow
fffffucking epic to play as.
So first thing that happens is Luke is in the forest with WHAT ELSE but a bonfire. Characters meet because they followed the smoke and one is this barbarian chick with a sword taller than she is... of course she freaks out at him a little and is like *massive swordswing*and stops right at Luke's neck. Luke...just. Laughed a little.
Everyone's KINDA introduced, then comes the introduction monster, a big ol' owlbear crashing towards the fire. I rolled high enough for Luke to hear the thing coming and had him toss a flashbomb over his shoulder...
Now, for those who don't know how the d20 system works, brief explanation.If you call a shot, you HAVE to roll a 20 to hit, and a 20 is critical anyway. So basically I rolled for Luke to nonchalantly toss a bomb over his shoulder to hit an oncoming monster RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES. He was in a bit of the blast range and got a little disoriented but damned if it wasn't worth it.
Then he convinced an alchemist to give him a keg of black powder and a bunch of explosive crossbow blots... didn't take much convincing but WHO IN THE HELL GIVES LUKE A KEG OF POWDER?!? AAAUUGH--
Also, someone almost gave him an invisibility ring. They rethought that pretty quick. Invisible!Luke=Holy Terror.
Also notable was the boat trip to fight a green dragon. To escape a strong current the characters needed to row. There are five people in the boat, Luke and the other Bard/Assassin Masquerade started rowing with their Lutes, Aurora the barbarian was rowing with THE GODDAMN MONSTERSWORD and the other Assassin, Penn was like"What do I row with?"
Aurora points at the fifth person, a 90-lb elf ranger.
I'm sorry if you are ninety pounds, you have gone from character to prop status. Especially if you asked Luke stupid questions right off the bat.
So Ilden or whatever his name was wound up oar#4
Luke also used his brandy and a flaming stick to breathe fire. And held Masquerade in the air by one foot while conversing jovially with him in the Kinweave language. And discussed with penn how to best use different parts of the dragon...And green dragon=ACID GLANDS which mean possible future explosives OH NOES LUKE WRRRRYYYYYYYYY--
Asked permission of Andrea to use Penn and Masquerade are showing up in my Nano because they are partner assassins and fit in well with the Hunters, I needed some older guys in there and with how well they got along with Luke they should match the story perfect.....
... seriously guys who the fuck gives Luke a keg of powder oh god oh god.
