Message: <blockquote data-quote="SkredlitheOgre" data-source="post: 5449332" data-attributes="member: 99513">Mine is on myself.  My second session of a 3E D&D game, I was the Dwarven cleric (3rd level), so I was awesome beyond awesome.  Our party assaulted...something or other and we got our collective keisters handed to us.  i had to drag the other three members back to our boat and I had used most of my healing spells simply keeping everyone alive.  We get back to the boat and I get us food.  The food is laced with sleeping potion.  As the Dwarf, I beat the save and set out to find who poisoned us.  Turns out it was our party ranger, who was planning on selling us to slavers (or something like that).I charge after her and take a crossbow bolt in the shoulder, but manage to stay up and smash my way through the wall of the boat to beat some vengeance into her.  I take another shot from her crossbow...critical.  The DM gives me one last action before I pass out due to being in negative hit points.  So, even though I had a spell that would get me back to negative hit points, I decide to throw my warhammer at her...and critically fail, sending it off to sleep with the fishes.  I fall down and die four rounds later, due to everyone else still being down and not having another healer.  Oy.As a DM, my first 3E group had a player who got easily bored, so as the other two in the group are getting the information from their source about the job, the third (2nd level wizard) wanders off to the next building.  As a joke, I have him run into a goblin who stabs him with a dagger for 1 point of damage.  This turned into a running joke and as the players increased in level, I added more templates to the goblin, giving him a name (Bam Dreadeater) and a backstory (that he was chosen by his god to be the bane of this one character).Eventually, I added every 3/3.5 template I could get my hands on, even if they weren't legal (for example, his types and subtaypes are Large Deathless Undead Humanoid Elemental Aberration Outsider Dragon Fey Magical Beast (Goblinoid, Augmented Animal, Air, Cold, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, Good, Native, Shapechanger, Giant, Reptilian, Extraplanar, Lawful), and added them to this goblin.  Whenever Bam showed up, he would stab the character for 1 point of damage and I would describe how Bam had changed description with each template I added.  So, at level 16, the player decided he had enough of Bam and challenged him to a straight up fight.I looked at him and said, "You realize that this level 1 goblin fighter has about 20 different templates to him, which means you have zero chance of beating him, right?"He says, "I have a plan.  Let's go."Initiative is rolled and the goblin win, because he has an initiative bonus of something like +35 and take the mage down to a couple of hit points in one round.  The mage smiles and uses his scroll of meteor strike.  Not only does he NOT beat the goblin's spell resistance, the goblin (for fun) makes his Reflex save, so takes no damage, but since they were in melee, the mage takes the damage.  So, he nuked himself.Finally, the player tells me that he just wanted to have the goblin stop showing up because it wasn't funny anymore.  That was his WHOLE reason for fighting the goblin, instead of saying 'Hey, that's not funny anymore.  Could you stop it?'</blockquote>
