28) You encounter a table. It rolls on you.

Jokes are fun.  Taking a good idea and running with it is fun.  Combining the two is hilarious but also a massive derail, please remain on topic.

29.) You encounter a chest. It's completely untrapped and has no magic on it whatsoever. Inside is a note that says "Turn around." Upon turning around, the party sees a second chest that is as safe as the first. Inside is a note that says "Look in the first chest." The first chest is closed and inside there is now a ton of valuables.

Generating random encounters is off-topic?

[SOLDIER First]

No, but going from actual dungeon encounters to "roll from a completely unrelated table of encounters, then do it again, and combine them" is unrelated.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ah.

[Neonivek]

Yeah it is fun but it is just becoming a huge derail and I am all for temporary derails, I think conversations move and evolve, but this is reaching for complete derail territory.

[BlackFlyme]

Muh build's unviable. I thought that with each Dragon Totem Rage Power I took, I would gain 2 Damage Reduction and elemental resistance equal to double my DR. Turns out that's not what it means that each totem adds 2 DR. It means that it counts as 2 higher for the purposes of determining elemental resistances.

For a game with so much focus on the wording, the books don't seem to work that way. I learn more from the official messageboards than the actual books.

Now how am I gonna cheese my way to 30 DR? But seriously, a lot of my plans get shut down by dubious wordings.

What? There's no way that wording means anything other than stacking DR.

It might be errata to change it because it's broken, but who cares?

Plus this latest list was kind of off-track from the start.

[Bohandas]

Can we give this current list a pass and either go on to the next theme or else restart with actual dungeon encounters?

[TheBiggerFish]

I think we've veen told to stop it, yeah.

[NullForceOmega]

If you guys want to make lists of encounters/hooks that's fine, I'd just like to keep the jokes more in-flavor, rather than meta.  So feel free, but don't abuse it please.

so 30) It seems to be a relatively normal dungeon room. Except the floor is on the ceiling and vice versa.

[SOLDIER First]

 30a.) The floor (which is the cieling) is actually a trapdoor, leading into a deep pit. The pit throws everyone back out of the entrance of the dungeon, should they bother to fly all the way up it.
