[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 736930, member: 4144"] Prepare to laugh, as I did when it happened. Some of you may remember me posting about one of the local players, the epitome of every negative aspect of gaming there is: characters who don't receive names until level 10 or 11; when they do its usually either a) a sports figure or b) an extremely offensive racial epithet, oftentimes cunningly disguised by being spelled backwards; always the size of Shaquille O'Neal, regardless of class or race; always fights with a greatsword, again regardless of class; and is generally belligerent. This story is about him. In the hoary days of 2e (back when there was a sizable gaming community in this little burg), myself and 3 or 4 other guys were playing when we found ourselves captured by pirates. The pirates did pirate-y things, taunting and such, and the munchkin-player said something to the effect of "F that!" and made a bend bars/lift gates roll. He broke his rope bonds and began brandishing his fists at a pirate. Somehow, he (the character) ended up drawing his sword. The other pirates replied in kind, and suddenly the munchkin had well over a dozen swords pointed at him. In a fine display of munchkinism, his reaction to this development was to kill the pirate at whom he had become so mysteriously ticked. Whereupon the captain came down. The munchkin put up a fight, and managed to kill half a dozen pirates, but eventually found himself thrown overboard. So here we were, almost getting killed in the crossfire because this guy chose to be an idiot. The munchkin's in the water, now, frantically swimming back towards the ship, screaming (the actual player, not just the character) "F this, I'll F'ing kill all you F'ers!" When it became obvious that the pirates wouldn't let him back on board, he yelled "F this, I'll swim back to shore!" - forgetting we were nearly 300 miles out to sea - and of course, drowned. Then the player got all pissy with the DM for killing his character, picked up his dice, and went home. Good riddance. ---------------------- A more recent one was in my OA campaign, when one of the characters - a half-fiend half-orc samurai - rescued the other player - a female shugenja - from a menacing tzuchinoko (a huge viper, really). During the battle, he was poisoned, and after the battle had the shugenja cast a regiment of healing spells on him, including [i]neutralize poison[/i]. Then five minutes later, he reads his sheet - "I'm immune to poison!" [/QUOTE]
