Sup all! I figured I'd make a topic about this since none exist yet. Got any stories to tell? Past characters or campaigns that stood out? To start us off, someone mentioned something that reminded me of one. Did you want it back? JK, Welcome to the Order of Order. We had an Order of Order for real in another Pathfinder campaign I played. We were fighting against the Void and chaos creatures, League of Legends style. xD I played a male white-skinned Fetchling, multiclass Crossblooded Stormborn+Arcane Sorcerer / Paladin of Iomedae Thunderstaff + Shocking Grasp + Shield Bash + Arcane-Bond-Sword + Rogue Cohort's Precise Strike Teamwork Flanking Feat = 2 attacks at level 8 (Sorcerer 4, Paladin 4): Shield Bash, then "Lightning Blade" (2d6 + 1d6 + STR + Enhance) + (1d10 + 1d6 + 5d6 + 1d6 + STR + Enhance) And that's without Smite Evil. xD The campaign was a multi-dimensional epic anything-can-happen extravaganza centered around an Order of Order in the Institute of War. Good times. *nodnod*

I once played a level 1 wizard with dementia that made him think he was a level 30 wizard. He would go around trying to cast epic level spells. The DM thought it was a funny idea so he included an extra mechanic, a 1d100 to see if he did end up casting it. If I rolled a 100 they spell would work.
So me and my comrades where exploring an underground cave and came across a mass of kobolds. Around 50 or so of them. We were supposed to sneak around them but I decided to cast epic chain lightning. And I rolled a 100. We all went from lvl 1 to level 6.

my first time playing D&D, i made a lvl 5 paladin. we were in the plain of undeath in a city. I didn't know that at the time of what I did. we were going to investigate a dungeon under one of the keeps and I cast detect evil... The GM said I lit up like the sun to all the black guard in the town. I single handedly caused the party to die within 30 minutes of my first game.
fun times indeed.

My first time playing DnD, I had a lvl 1 rogue. Me and my friends would pester the taverns causing local fights and the sole reason every town was destroyed from the awkward fights that ensued as we left. It was hilarious until one of us got caught and we had to face the wrath of every surviving warrior from the every town we were responsible for ruining, and we got our butts kicked.

My first time playing I played as a charismatic rogue. Me and my party members awoke in a bar inn and went down to get a drink. The dm had some high level npc come in and hand the bar tender a sack of gold in which he ran off with.
My party members investigated a piece of paper he dropped. I stated a career as a bartender. I decided if I were to play my character right he would easily abandon the party to own his own bar. They didn't like this. They burned it down. The hostage we were supposed to save later on was in the cellar. She didn't make it.

so once i spent about 2 days building a dungeon. It was great. 3 levels with traps and a hidden extra boss. on the second floor the ninja failed a stealth check and about 50 zombies charged the group. The dam ninja threw a portable hole on the ground and cause all the dam zombies to fall into the bottom floor. Right onto a fireball trap. A trap i had designed to challenge the group or kill a few if they failed. After doing the math I that because of the hole i had to roll damage on the structure itself. The dam ninja collapsed half my dungeon and buried most of his party. He re-flexed out like they always do. His party nearly beat him to death for almost getting them killed.

Though not a D&D anecdote, this is still d20 as I go to Shukalar, my Gen'dai Soldier in Star Wars Saga Edition. Large-sized brute with regenerative properties and a lot of con. We were supposed to ambush an Imperial Officer and capture him alive for questioning. So one player used the force to phase-shift through the walls into his room and waited there. The other person decided it was a good idea to plant a bomb in the bathroom.
Me, I went up onto the unguarded rooftop of the hotel we were waiting at and watched for his car. Bomb goes off, the guy who planted it gets into heavy combat with a security detail for not going back to his room for reasons of safety. Other guy is still waiting in the guy's bedroom. I see the Officer get into a speeder and take off, so I jump off the roof and jetpack-land into the back of his speeder and kill his two guards in the surprise round.
I get into a big fight with this officer until finally he surrenders to me. Force user is still waiting in the guy's room, bomb-guy is currently being beaten up by a bunch of pissed off droids and soldiers. It's a good day to not be an idiot.

My last campaign I was a werebear with overbearing feelings of being small, So he constantly sought to become larger. But besides that I spent most of the campaign trying to justify to the cleric that my goblin slaves were part of an initiative to give those of lesser standing a job in a more hospitable environment I had signed work relocation paper for all of them which were forged by our rogue. In the end we set the enslaved goblins to work making temples for the Cleric's deity, after convincing him that their lives were not healthy before we relocated them and made them work for food. The cleric took some sort of gullible trait we had lots of fun getting him to be part of acts that could be considered evil.

This one time I played an orphaned dwarf. He was the son of merchant prince who died when one of the mines he was inspecting collapsed. He was raised by a sect of monks who followed the god of. Lacking the wisdom to become a monk or cleric they decided to send the dwarf to the local wizards college even though he probably would have made a better fighter (it was just more convenient I guess). This unlikely series of events in his upbringing has lead to what is to this day my favorite character (and the inspiration for my current one as well) for the result was a religiously convicted dwarven transmuter with unsolved father issues.
Together with a party consisting of a fighter bent on world domination, an amnestic ranger and a horny cleric of the water goddess we set out to bring water to the land which was very scarce (2 gold per water-skin). The consensus was that the best way to do this would be to release the water goddess whom the earth god imprisoned 200 years ago. As a worshiper of the Earth god my character was the only one opposed to this but whenever I tried to leave the party I was haunted by frightening dreams so I joined them anyways.
Along the way we had many conflicts. The cleric often refused to heal me because of our religious differences. I once tried to report the party to the city guard after they murdered an important representative of my church (even though this was in self defence). And I generally dismissed anything related to the water goddess as evil and unnatural.
Our biggest encounter though, was when the villages we were in was being attacked by moon creatures that were normally friendly. We allowed them to capture us and they brought us to this underground cavern with strange blue minerals all over the place. It turns out that anyone one who touches the minerals is compelled to mine them and bring them to a central location in the mine in order to encase what I recognized to be the goddess of the moon (and that there were already all kinds of peasants from the village doing this). We managed to free her but she was still very weak. As it turns out, the Earth god encased her there for trying to help the water goddess escape. Infuriated, I poured the wagon of gems nearby on the goddess and inadvertently killed her. At this point the party was fed up with me and tried to kill me and being the master transmuter that I was I turned myself into an air mephit, flew away and prepared myself to baleful polymorph their asses into oblivion. Quick thinking the GM unleashed a purple worm to disrupt the fight so I quickly dispatched it with a ray of clumsiness (Oh my god the spell compendium is just so overpowered). At that point we were all out of resources and agreed to settle our grudges after our quest was over. That opportunity never came though...
My character was right all along and the water goddess was in fact evil. Once she was released she flooded the whole world and killed all of its inhabitants (Exams were coming up and the GM needed to finish the campaign up quickly). The earth god imprisoned her to stop that from happening. I hope that after this you all understand why I enjoy playing characters who very attached to their radical and sometimes downright delusional ideals. Cause when your insane and end up being right, it's one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.

Your god spoke to me in a dream, he told me that there was an orphanage in town and they needed a donation of money or their home would close down. Surely you of all people could spare the money for their safety!" "Of course my son, here. Go do the right thing." "Thank you father, the children will appreciate it!" Much booze was bought on that eve.

I knew i needed to end the session when one of my players was using the spell "black tentacles" to make the priestesses of a seducer deity to "create water".
I once made a high level wizard frost ray specialist in DnD. His frost ray would hit two targets, then split to two rays, each of which would split, etc. until it hit around 40 people, cause the terrain between those target to become slippery at worst, impassable at best, would stagger everyone hit for a few rounds, make everyone susceptible to frost spells, bypass any immunities and resistances, slowed the enemies hit for a few rounds and cause 1d3+7 damage to each.
That amazing trap of, Grimtooth i believe? I used it in one of my games. The rogue, being the low strength skill monkey was searching for traps. She found an obvious pit in the middle of the hallway. Laughingly, she jumped to the other side. I could not stop laughing with her grimace when i told her that a glass was just in front of the pit hole on the other side. Fortunately, she rolled that natural 20 that solves everything and broke through the glass.
10 happy goblinoid plant creatures, 4 shocked adventurers, an archvillain and a firework the size of a horse is a picture that needs no words.
