Easy enough behavior to fix.
“Hold on a minute, I gotta flip a coin to decide if ‘Fate wants me to’ stand between you and that big furry mass of claws and teeth or if I’m just gonna stand aside and watch you get turned into Nabisco Shredded Meat…”
Bonus points if you can work in the phrase, “Maybe you better decide how Fate feels about going best-two-out-of-three…”
Oh man don’t tell me he’s playing a true neutral character!!! I played one like that, he couldn’t really decide on anything himself and would flip a coin and let fate, his master choose what road he would take. At least unless he was being attacked in which case he would remove the threat and go from there…
Actually, I think the “flip a coin”thing might be because Sam’s character’s deity. Same thing with Mel’s character and the tarot cards during Dungeon Run. Apparently Felicos is kind of a dick like that.
yeah in part it was my deity, but also in part is was my inability as a true neutral character to decide between which side of a situation I was on. Being true to the true neutral character is not easy and playing true neutral can really be a pain in the rump, however in this case I think Samm is messin with him.
I think you mean “playing true neutral like that is a pain in the rump of the rest of the players“. “Harvey Dent clone” is down there with “switch sides if we have the advantage” in terms of stupid alignment interpretations.
Other true neutral fails:
I need to flip a coin to see if I follow the party
I need to flip a coin to see if I eat this year
I need to flip a coin to see if I shit in the paladin’s helmet tonight
I need to flip a coin to see if I flip a coin or roll a die
Yes, but while the coin flip thing might be an interesting quirk when the party is voting on a big decision, doing it for combat actions is just stupid.
And now I have new way to make potions of cure light wounds more fun. I am a cleric for the baker god and my pancakes are baked with them. Just imagine in battle here a potion *frisbees a pancake at a party member.* Might now work if Gnolls are bout. Damn dogs and fetch.
I ran a half-orc cleric of Kord (god of, among other things, competition and athleticism) and had tremendous fun. I took the attitude that you couldn’t HEAL the body without IMPROVING the body.
“Aaaw, poor baby got a widdle sucking chest wound? Well, PAIN is WEAKNESS leaving the BODY! Now roll over and GIVE ME TWENTY!”
“Flip a fucking pancake dipped in cure light” this made me laugh way too hard, tho as hard core a player as Bret is I’m surprised he isn’t asking for on of the better first level healing spells
This reminds me of the healer I’m running right now. His character flaw is cowardice, and like the Cleric from 8-Bit Theater, he “shops around” among the deities trying to get the best deal on his casts – which often (read: always) ends up with a random party member being burdened with the debt.

‘a pancake dipped in a cure light wounds’XD lol oh man i love that.
This made me laugh for a few minutes. The first of which was followed by an asthma attack.
STOP TRYING TO KILL US WITH HUMOR, BRIAN.
“It’s best if you pair a cure light dipped pancake with a bless infused syrup.”
Since I don’t see the official one yet. 😉

I read stuff on this site (links below) for chuckles and material for gaming/storytelling >.>
those two articles are about neutrality.

I wouldn’t call a neutral fail, isn’t he a priest of the God of Luck?

No you fool, that’s when you bake a pancake with Smite Evil and throw it toward them!
It’s just one short step from there to Dwarf Bread.

I want the pancake line on a T-shirt.
I take it Calvis worships Harvey Dent?
God Dammit… now I’m hungry.

It’s a good time. For me and the DM, anyway. 😉
