CON Counts for Something
[info]haikujaguar: I want to run the Baby adventure!

GM: Um, that's a campaign, not a single session.

[info]haikujaguar: Whatever! Hit me! I'm not gaining experience from anything else anymore and I want to level up!

GM: You do realize your family's either dead or has incompatible schedules, right? They won't be able to make the game.

[info]haikujaguar: Oh, no, that's fine, they'll want to show up for this one. I've got brownies!

GM: Riiiiight. And you know our regular adventuring party's all moved away, or won't want to touch this one with a ten-foot pole....

[info]haikujaguar: That's okay. [info]elusivetiger will play with me, we've been playing together for over a decade!

GM: Fine, fine. Let me look at your character sheet.

*ruffle of sheets*

GM: ...

GM: Your CON has gone down significantly since you started playing.

[info]haikujaguar: But I spent the extra points in WIS!

GM: No, seriously. Bad enough things happen to old adventurers without them taking the Fibromyalgia flaw.

[info]haikujaguar: I'll be fine. I've learned many creative ways to use my INT to make up for my wimpy STR! And I won't need any DEX, right?

GM: ...

[info]haikujaguar: Look, all this experience I've got has got to count for something! And I've got a small income from adventuring--

GM: --you'll have to give that up--

[info]haikujaguar: --[info]elusivetiger has a small income from adventuring, and we've set up a lair... we're starting off better than a lot of adventurers, even if we are rickety!

GM: Are you sure you want to do this?

[info]haikujaguar: Heck, yeah! Let's go!

Twelve months later, 4:30 AM. Player is surrounded in empty bottle, pacifier, diaper cloths and is limp on the floor.

[info]haikujaguar: OH MY GOD.

GM: Told you so.

Baby: *giggle*

Don't worry, at some point the baby becomes a PC, at least part time, and then it's cool. :)

ROFLMAO

OMG... that's great. As someone looking to take on the Baby adventure myself, I was curious as to what my character sheet should look like. I think maybe I need to bribe the GM.

Are you sure that's XP? It may just be the points you get from Dependent, 0-point NPC, Always Around... And yeah, you get to put a lot of Time Use into Professional Skill (Parenting).

Not to mention when I did it, I failed the HT roll and my hypothyroidism got worse, so I was always running at two-thirds of fatigue till I finally failed my Stubbornness Will roll and got tested for it. O:p

I'm hoping that at some point I get to change that Dependent to Ally, though...

Nah, I'm sure it's XP because it's triggering my Artistic Inspiration merit. I don't get anything from that unless I'm leveling. -_-

Man, you suffered even more than me, sounds like! Did the GM give you extra points for good RPing at least? :D

For what it's worth - it will get better. The first year is a bear without any kind of chronic fatigue inducing illness/condition/disease, but with that on top....yeah. That first couple of years is pretty rough.

Haha. Once again you make me giggle insanely smile.

I wonder how real life would translate to WoW. I'd imagine it would be fairly similar.

The Baby quest would have to be group, (group of two) but what would the objective(s) be?

Galstaff. You find yourself inside a dimly lit baby room. The stench of of diaper pails permeates the air.

I cast a spell!

What spell do you cast?

I can cast any of these, right?

Any of the level one spells, yes.

I cast Magic Missiletoe.

Why are you casting magic missiltoe? There's nothing to kiss in here!

I... I kiss the baby! :)

I'm not sure I would survive the baby adventure. I'm having a hard enough time with the marriage adventure module. Yes, we've fought battles and gathered treasure, but... my STR and DEX are down, I take a hit to INT when we're near each other, I'm prone to bashing attacks, and I'm running out of charges of Charm Spouse. There are days I'm desperately searching for a Wand of Silence or Ring of Invisibility. =P

I'm still trying to get the Baby Adventure. My GM just doesn't seem to be ready to run it.

Instead, right now I'm doing the Full Time Career campaign, and getting some serious levelling from that.

you know, of course, that the theme music to the Baby Adventure is:
the song that has no end....

my elder beast is 25 now, and making "hmm, someday i might want to spawn" noises. after YEARS of "no way am i gonna have babies!!"

this is the song that does not end
yes it goes on and on my friend
some people started singing it
not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singing it
forever, just because
this is the song that does not end....
