[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 1068264, member: 8447"] My story does not involve one campaign, but two (and it threatened to be true in a third as well, but the player moved...). In a more-or-less standard D&D-style tavern, two players were going in to confront one of the under-heavies of the session. They felt that with a little bit of lying, a bit of intimidation, and some conniving they could get him to back down. Then enters Our Hero. Instead of playing along with the other two, he announces, "I have a plan!" At that point he does a run and Jumps (apparently trying to land on the table the under-heavies and his posse were hanging out). Our Hero has no armour on, has only a dagger, and has no magic. He rolls a 1. He falls flat into the lap of the Under-Heavy and nearly ends up as a cube steak. Needless to say, the party ended up with extra trouble, rather than smoothing things out. The next campaign (we took a break from D&D for about 4 sessions) was a Star Wars game. We enter another bar. There is The Heavy of the session. Our Hero announces, "Guys, I have a plan." He recieves stares of disbelief. "No, no, this one is different!" He then runs forward, tries to Intimidate one of the Heavy's guards, fails, and then Jumps. He rolls a 1. We now refer to him as Captain Lap Dance... [/QUOTE]
