What are the dumbest things you've ever seen crop up in your games?One example was the entire premise for this two-shot campaign a friend of mine DMed a couple summers ago. It ran something like this:Ancient black dragon sends werewolf minions to kidnap the local King's daughter, to the end of attracting powerful adventurers to help said dragon escape from this magical prison beneath the kingdom. The dragon agreed to let us return the King's daughter to safety, but only under the condition that we return within 24 hours and help him escape. When the possibility of just simply not helping the dragon was raised, this was his threat: "If you do not return and help me escape from my underground prison, I will raze the kingdom and kill everyone on the surface!" ... :\Another example from a one-shot, same DM:DM: "Alright, everyone, roll up 10th level characters."Player1(me): "Sweet. I'm gonna play an Arcane Blade. My crit range is gonna rock."DM: "Sure. Cool."Player2 : "Gonna have to go barbarian. Do keen and improved critical stack?"DM: "Hell yes."Player3: "10th level rogue, here I come. Sneak attack, baby!"So, after a lengthly character creation process, we delve into this dungeon and our first encounter is with a group of harpies. Construct harpies. Followed by a Helmed Horror, a chain golem, and a spider. A construct spider. Turned out that this whole dungeon was this mad construct constructor's lab. We didn't finish the adventure.  :\ Just plain dumb, but we laugh about it these days.</blockquote>
