[QUOTE="SiderisAnon, post: 5766120, member: 44949"] In college I had a fighter-type who carried a blade that had been passed down through his family. It wasn't magical, just a sword with story. I may have paid extra to make it fancier. (This was before masterwork.) I missed a session and when I came back the sword was shattered because the GM had been running the character and had him use it to chop through a log in a competition to prove manhood to some NPCs or some such. (Not a single swipe, but the kind of thing that requires multiple minutes of chopping.) I was rather angry about that. On the flip side, in an evil game I was running that came to an end right before the end of the year, the guy who had missed several sessions while he was out of town effectively "won the campaign" while he was gone. One of the PCs had been assassinated by the party early in the night, so I had him play the out of town player's PC in a fight against some big monsters that were attacking. (They really didn't want to down both their two biggest damage dealers for that fight.) One of the other PCs decided that the end of the battle, with everyone badly damaged, was the perfect time to assassinate a few more people between him and the throne. This backfired and the PC of the guy who wasn't at the game was the last one standing, with one hit point left. He took the crown and won the campaign. [/QUOTE]
