D&D come Thursday

[deadly7]

Yeah, Thursday a group of my friends and I are getting together to play D&D.  I was at a friend's house today and we started our characters.  I'm an Elven Cleric who goes by the name of Zah'Rul (those of you that know me will also know that that was my BG2 character's name).  17/16/15/14/14/7 were my rolls (4d6, pick highest 3).  Should be interesting.  The guy that's DMing is awesome.  If he realizes that we're way too buff, he's going to just send in packs of trolls and throw away his gameplan.  Heh. (he's also a friend of mine and not some creepy twenty five year old guy)

Those sentences juxtapose eachother. An awesome DM would not do that. :P

Obviously your opinion juxtaposes deadly's

I juxtaposed your mom's legs apart so I could juxtapose in her vagina. You head fuck.

That made my day....

Ah... D&D, those were the days. I stopped playing a couple of years ago but its a good game. I was usually DM or a Elf Sorceror.

What the hell's the point of playing D&D if you're too buff and you fly through everything?

You scale the opposition up accordingly.

It's more fun fighting hordes of monsters. :P

You'll find out quite the opposite. :P

[deadly7]

oh, newby, just so you know... I was exaggerating when I said he would discard his entire gameplan.  He would probably just have another monster or two enter the fight and scale up the rest of the opponents, like you said.  He was probably joking around Sunday when he said "ok, if you guys end up being really strong (because we had killer rolls), then I'm just going to throw in more monsters."

[deadly7]

So, first day.  It was rather interesting.  After the remaining two people made their characters (and I picked my Spells and my Feat.. Power Attack ftw!) we all played for a good forty-five minutes to an hour.  It was fun.  The DM, for it being his first game, made it fun.  He actually knocked out two people, despite the fact that he rolled less than 5 on his hit rolls probably three-quarters of the time. :\

You chose power attack for a cleric? I'd like to see those stats... dont you have a tank?

Me too. What the hell, deadly?

Yes, we have a tank.  The only spell (seeing as to how I'm level two) that I can use and actually do something with is Cure Light Wounds.  I didn't find any other feat that I really wanted that was useful or that I met a prereq for.

I don't have my sheet with me but I think I am:
Wisdom: 17
Constitution: 16
Charisma: 16
Dexterity: 9 (lol at my -1 reflex save.. so awesome)
Strength: 14
Intelligence: 14

Those are close to what I have, I think.  I asked the veteran player there what feat to get and he told me, "You know, you're probably just more useful attacking with a weapon than you are with using spells for a while, because your spells suck."  However, I don't know why he recommended I get Power Attack.  My BAB is +1.
