[QUOTE="Feathercircle, post: 1683154, member: 11266"] Confront the cranium rat swarm with a CR that's 20 above your level... alone. Accept help from secretive voices in your head on the vague condition that you will "let yourself be open to their power". (One of my players has actually done both of these, and somehow not gotten himself killed... yet.) Give your DM a such a long, detailed pain-filled backhistory of your character that he knows EXACTLY what buttons to push to drive them over the deep end. (I've managed to do this recently and nothing horriffic has come of it.. yet.) Uttered in front of a pair of black dragons by someone with more chemistry knowledge than common sense: "Where's Jort?" ::whispered:: "He went back to town to get some soap." ::mouthed:: "Soap?" ::whispered:: "He says that he thinks he can use it to kill the dragons." (Amazingly, the dragons didn't QUITE manage to kill him.... ) After having been SPECIFICALLY instructed to quitely wake the party if you see something, failing to do so and instead charge towards a dozen bow-weilding cultists while yelling "KILL THEM!" (Finally, an act of stupidity I've witnessed that lead to an actual, well-earned fatality. Good riddance.) Grappel the Dex-20 illithid while trying to spellcast. (Amusingly enough, I was on the INFLICTING end of that one.) Stuff I've (not seriously) considered: Pull up an arcanoloth's robe in order to resolve the debate you and a friend have been having about whether or not they have tails. If the answer to the above question is "no", attempt to play "Pin the Tail on the 'loth". Insult Shemeshka's fashion sense and make lewd comments about potential reasons why A'kin doesn't like her. Shake hands with a fiend while wearing lots of silver jewelry, then laugh at them when they flinch. Stand up on a soapbox in Sigil and attempt to recite the entirity of the "Dolores" poem. Attempt to bluff a fully-grown dragon into thinking that you are a dragon, too, only polymorphed. Mock a paelyrion's fashion sense. Abandon your DM's adventure hooks and plots that took WEEKS of planning in favor of some good old flumph-tipping. Give Vlaakith a great, big, postive-energy-charged hug. Give your DM the Gift of Hamtaro. [/QUOTE]
