Dungeons & Drinking

Today at lunch, one of my coworkers relayed to me one of the best worst ideas I've ever heard for playing D&D. Simply put, he had invented a fiendishly simple drinking game to go along with standard play. The only difference? You could reroll anything, anytime you wanted. You could take as many attacks as you wanted in a round. You could take as many actions in a row as you wanted. And anytime you wanted to do this, you had to take a shot.

As you may have guessed, this would probably lead to some short and very spectacular sessions. So we started talking a little more about it, and decided with the new release of 4e we could make some modifications.

• 1 action point = 1 shot


• Use any at-will power without ending your turn (no limit) = 1 sip from one's beer


• Regain the use of an encounter power, instantly usable without ending your turn = 1 shot


• Regain the use of a daily power, instantly usable without ending your turn = 1 shot of something awful (like Everclear)


• Finishing any bottle of hard liquor = substitute any roll for natural 20, usable anytime (provided you can still comprehend what dice are)

Disclaimer: We here at Stupid Ranger encourage people to drink responsibly and will not be responsible for anyone following through on this insanity and losing their property/spouse/job/life. And for the love of Pelor, don't do this Saturday night at Gen Con and miss Out Of the Box Roleplaying.
