[QUOTE="Felix, post: 870714, member: 3929"] This happened in a campaign I play in. The party rogue/wiz really wanted to summon his familiar. Reellllly reeellly wanted to. But he couldn't do it while we were on the road, so he had to wait until we reached town. As soon as he got into town, he said "I go to my room and summon my familiar". The DM asked three times if he was sure that's what he wanted to do (summoning a familiar takes 24 hours, with no stressful activity. and he knew this), because the other characters wanted to do other things, like roleplay and get into political intrigue. As it happened, the party ran into a mob led by a cult leader. They mobbed us. It took an hour to resolve that. The we were arrested for being part of the mob, although we were quickly released. That's another half hour. (the rogue's player began to get testy here) Some deep role play with the head cleric of Heironious and an hour later, all of the characters get back to the tavern, and go to bed. So our little future Arcane Trickster could get his owl. He was happy... until the DM asked us if we wanted to do anything the next day. --Silence-- We had unintentionally done all of the RPing while rogue was summoning his familiar. Oops. Then we attack the dopplegangers that have taken over part of the city. One of the evil cult clerics there casts hold person. Because the DM rolls targeting randomly (he even rolls out in the open), he picks me for 1-2, the ranger on 3-4, and the rogue on 5-6. Guess who gets Held? The halfling thief. Boy, he was pissed about that. He promptly left the session, and the campaign soon after. This guy got really miffed at being unable to do anything. Even self-inflicted uselessness. [/QUOTE]
