A.I. Players for D&D

 

An interesting discussion broke out on Twitter yesterday.  

We were talking about the possibility of an artificial intelligence as DM.  But then a couple of us simultaneously wondered about an A.I. player.

So, I decided to simulate an A.I. player in D&D with a simple d20 table...

1. "I attack."
2. "I keep going."
3. "I want to take a closer look at that."
4. "I leave it alone."
5. "I do NOT speak the Latin... same goes for any other weird, mystical, or ancient form of communication."
6. "I'm ready to make a new character.  Ok, I'll say your damn words!"
7. "I make conversation, trying to gather information."
8. "I attempt to negotiate, intimidate, or seduce." [whichever gives me the best advantage]
9. "I surrender."
10. "I loot the body."
11. "I run away."
12. "I back away slowly."
13. "I attempt to disarm the trap."
14. "I move around or jump over the obstacle."
15. "I eat, drink, and make merry."
16. "I disbelieve."
17. "I attempt to steal it."
18. "I use the special thing (magic, high-tech, explosive device, etc.)."
19. "I ask for healing."
20. "I rest."

Perhaps, this would actually make a good list of options (not necessarily a random table) for noobs?  

I don't know, but share your thoughts with me.  I'd love to hear them.
