Having wrestled back the money Kevin borrowed from me for his smokey smokes I was finally able to get a hold of the new Dungeon Master’s Guide 2. You’d think he’d has been more grateful I was asking for the money, after all it is for a game he’s a player in.
This is going to be a three part blog entry focusing on what parts of the book I really liked, and showcasing my custom creations for use in your campaigns.
In the first part I’m showcasing a very real world Trap and a Terrain Power used in almost every game in the world, Kegs O’ Beer.
Traps
Nobody makes a better trap than me, they’re just like my plans except lacking Crayola and with a 22% better chance to spontaeously discombobulate their victims.
| Kissing Kendra Monster Level 8 Elite Lurker Trap XP 700 |
| A female monster is probably painting, or smelling, or something in the middle of the room. She is completely unresponsive, too busy listening to music, until a player comes with in 2 squares of her. At that point she turns around and charges the player, screeching something stupid, and trying to plan her lips of death upon them. |
| Trap: A summoned monster tries to kiss the player with acidic saliva lips. |
| Perception |
|
| Trigger |
| A player, of any gender, steps to with in 2 squares of the monster. |
| Attack |
| Standard Action Melee Target: The creature that was foolish enough to trigger the trap. Attack: +11 vs. Fortitude Hit: 2d6 + 5 acid damage as she tries to melt you with her goo-liva, and the target is automatically restrained by the woman (DC 25 to break her hold). Kissing Monster gains +2 to hit against anybody named Kevin. |
| Countermeasures |

Terrain Power
You’d a thunk they would have remember the best terrain feature in the world, kegs of beer. Alas they seemed to forget the one object found in the opening scene of 95% of all DnD games.
| Kegs O’ Beer At-will Terrain |
| Keg’s of beer sit behind the bar, perfect for players to smash over the heads of their enemies. You are about to commit the worst party foul of all time. |
| Standard Action Requirement: You must be 21 or older to be behind the bar and standing adjacent to the stacks of Kegs. |
| Check: Strength (hard DC) check to pick up a barrel and Athletics (moderate DC) check to throw it, and a morality check (extremely hard DC) cause your wasting beer. |
| Success: The beer keg hits the target, busts open, and spills beer everywhere. Target: 1 creature up to 4 squares away. |
| Attack: Level vs. Reflex (remember that both the target and the player may be drunk so add modifiers as necessary) |
| Hit: Target is pushed 3 squares, knocked prone and dazed (save ends both), and takes 5 points of damage. Player takes 1 point of crying damage over spilled beer. |
