Favorite Class...

You would have LOVED my friend's CN Fighter!!

Favourite memory: Him with a Helm of Brilliance (fully charged) running around like a madman in the lair of a mated pair of Green Dragons, activating its Prismatic Spray ability like crazy!

Results: One dragon petrified. The other rendered insane and then teleported to a random place (got hit by 2 rays!). Him, caught by a blast from the breathe weapon. He survived, most of his armour, weapons, and equipment didn't. I made sure he was also bleached white, head to toe, including hair, for a good long while.

 

That's hilarious. I love players who get in to the role of the game too. That's how a CN Fighter should play

 

Back in AD&D (1) times, I had a Lawful fighter that was also the party leader. We were on the third level of an unfamiliar dungeon and in a bad (party ending) fix. So, I reached into my back pack and grabbed a HIGH level Chaotic sword that we had taken as loot. The DM declared I lost the will save and had been converted to Chaotic by the sword.

So I promptly declared that we charged the enemy and ran through them, taking hits on the way by. I then proceeded to run through that level, past many encounters, and find the stairs up to the second level, and so on through that level to the first and out.

When we ran, we were not allowed to map nor even use the existing map. Nor were we allowed to take the the time figure things out, nor discuss things. At each intersection, I said which way we turned, and every one else said whether or not they followed. Since we were running, we got surprise on half the things we ran into. "What the hell is going on?"

That's the fastest I have EVER exited a dungeon!

It worked only because I had been the one painstakingly making every map, and keeping a mental picture of our general location and orientation. Which was necessary in that evil bastard's dungeon of gradual level changes and slightly curving hallways.

 

Chaos is wonderful in PnP, in its place of course.

I had a group come to the "end of a campaign" BIG encounter in which they were pretty outmached and outneumbered in a huge cavern with Giants and shock troop goblins- outnumbered by "real contenders" about 1.5 to 1 but by shock troops ranging from 2nd to 6th level (the party was about 8th on average) by about 3 to 1. Things were not looking good for the party.

One of my players was a chaotic bard (CG or CN I forget) and had once gotten a hold og a good Deck of Illusions which he had used one or two cards of the roughly 30.

So he pulls it out in an attempt to help the party and as DM I say:
"So which card are you going to throw?" and he answers:
"All of them" and I said "What do you mean?" And he says "all of them at once- just scatter them 52 card pick-up style" LOL!!

Well it worked very well becaus eof course the "Good guys" knew they were illusions but all the bad guys had to save to realize they were- most thought that he had just performed one Heck of a summoning spell!

Chaos can be fun... I had much respect for his Bardic creativity (He explained - what good are these one-use illusions to me if I am dead- use them now and I may live!) and we all had tears in our eyes after that one from laughing, much like the time I had an assasin attempt to kill a PC in the outhouse with a "Stinking Cloud" spell not only was that fun to explain to the PC when it happened but it was even BETTER when I made the player role-play telling the authorities and his reletavily new party members about how he was almost killed by a "Stinking Cloud" in the outhouse!

 

Chaotic characters in PnP to me make the game much more enjoyable. Sadly, these days it seems most table toppers I find power game their characters and are all about loot and hack & slash. Thanks wizards of the coast.
