Dungeons and Dragons and [Mini-Phallas] (Mafia Wins!)

ITT people try to tell you the way you like to make an OP for a game based on a game where you play as a fantasy elf or dwarf is wrong. Plus you're probably a jerk. Why are you such a jerk? Also that you are not making OPs the one true way and that you're a horrible monster. Why do you hate fun?


DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS AND PHALLAS


This is a Dungeon.

This is a Dragon.

And this is a Phalla. Well, a Mini-Phalla. It made for up to 28 people. The goal of the game is to prove your alignment is the best by beating the crap out of all the others. Other than that, the standard rules apply. Red vote in Red, and please retract your vote in Lime Green. Clarifications in Orange. Also, I need to be invited to all proboards for the game.

Other rules:
You may Attack OR Defend each night. Attacking deals your attack - their defense to the target in damage. Defending means that you take all damage done to the person you are guarding as if you were being attacked and counter attack each person who attacked your target.
You may perform one action each night. These include your abilities from your class and items.
Each night, your party will find an item. Since this is D&D, I have a percentile chart for it. You may freely trade items each night.

Our story begins, as many fascinating stories do, in a convention hall...

DM: I'm sure your wondering why I called you all here today.

Player #14:...Not really. This is a convention, and we signed up for this event...

DM: Hush you. I always wanted to say that.

Player #6: Look, just let him start.

Player #14: Ok, ok...

DM: Each of you was bedded down for the night with your party. However, you wake up in an underground cave. Oddly enough, you are surround by a large number of people you don't recognize who also seem to be waking up. Even more oddly, there seems to be a clear dragon standing over you. Wait... Not quite clear... Just colorless.

The Dragon speaks, and you can hear the room shake with his voice...

"Greetings, mortals. I, the mighty Dragon Smurg, have decided to choose to ally myself with the most powerful alignment. You peons will show me which is the strongest by fighting each other to the death. The group that defeats its direct opposite and half of the other alignments will be th-"

Player #29: Wait a second. You mean PvP? With Pregens? This is a terrible idea!

DM: If you don't like it, then go and host your own event.

Player #29: Fine! I will!

DM: Anyone else? Good. Now where was I? Oh right. The dragon wants to see which alignment is truly the strongest. To do this, you must band together with your friends and eliminate those of an opposing alignment. As all of you leave, the Dragon offers one last word of advice, "And watch out for those crazy True Neutrals. I didn't summon them, but they came anyway. They probably want me to be unable to make a decision by killing all of you. So... get rid of them for me, will you?"

    Actually, one of my best friends always played Bardarian. He even wrote his own songs (which were awful and hilarious) and sang them off-key when he was using a perform skill.

    Good times.

    And no, he's not going anywhere from the OP. He wants you to love his manly pectoral muscles, his huge thigh muscles and bulging tip of the long hard shaft of his spear. The artist who drew this spectacular visage of our general thread mascot and local god even has a wallpaper of him. All hail Bane!!!!

    That's not very 3.5. You've got to have, like, 3 attacks. What is this standard action you're speaking of?

    daniant, while you are technically correct, the man has created a work of beauty.

    And its close enough to Bo9S that its 3.5-ish.

    Ben, I still approve. Nowadays, Standard Move Minor is where it's at for me.

    But I still miss the morality system that no one agrees with.

    "Man, that's not very chaotic evil. Back when I was playing, my chaotic evil character would slaughter every goat he saw. True story."

    Gotta be one in every group! A buddy of mine wrote a song (IRL) about a barrel of fire they put to... ah... creative purposes in game.

    Oh man I played a halfling bardbarian in a dark sun stealth game.

    so much fun

    (and let me clarify to the GM that I'm not signing up for this game. I'd love to but I've got way too much on my plate, probably shouldn't have signed up for ender's mini even)
