'You get to be X for a day'...

Post by Narf the Mouse »

Superhero, Mutant, Monkey-Ninja-Pirate-Robot, Spaceship Captain, Magic Elf, Dwarf, Wizard - Whatever you want to come up with. You aren't limited to those choices, just to make sure you know. :)

What do you pick?

I'm thinking either Ancient and Knowledgeable Wizard or *Book Dragon.

* Who says the Dragons' treasure has to be gold? :D

And the best thing is, maybe I'd remember some of that in the real world. :D

I'd have to go with superhero. If it's just one day I don't want the responsibility of a starship's crew on my mind, and I don't want the stress of channeling all the magical energies of a wizard, mutant is too vague, robot monkey thing would probalby have an arm that was a crossbow style poop flinger.... Naw, definitely superhero. Even the smaller names in the biz still have some fun powers.

Erm...You don't have to stick with those choices. Choose whatever. :)

OH! I get it! They're examples!

I think I'd still choose superhero, superman style. Fly around and pick stuff up and shrug off any damage. Like when I decide to mess with people by jumping off a building.

Personally, I have always fantasized about being mechanical genius, sort of batman combined with mad scientist.
one lvl barbarian, rest lvl wizard. Str 20, int 18. Spell book in one hand, greataxe in other.
I mean really? Is there a better half orc?

Victorian Gentleman Sir Bruce gazes out his window and ponders his crime fighting career. Suddenly, spying the smoking plume of a steam engine roaring towards the Gothcester rail yards it comes to him.
"Villains are a cowardly lot, I must become something that strikes fear into their hooligan hearts. What does man fear more in this day than the dangerous power of an unregulated build up of steam? With gauges constantly dipping into the red as pressure builds towards a catastrophic explosion!? Yes, the long withheld pressure of justice shall explode upon the criminals of Gothcester, I shall be - STEAMBAT!"
