[QUOTE="Greyfeld, post: 5287504, member: 93479"] I have a couple, though they might be funnier to me because I was actually there at the time :P The first one, I was playing a cleric, and I don't remember what my friends were playing, but one of them was a dwarf and the other was a drow. Being the only character who couldn't see in the dark during a dungeon crawl game, I needed a source of light but didn't want to blind the other characters. So, the Drow walked in front, I walked in back, and I cast Light on the dwarf who served as my personal lantern. Later in the same campaign, we ran into a small tribe of Kobolds living in the dungeon, and because we were outnumbered, I tried talking to them. I tried to bluff, telling them that I was a god and they should worship me. Remembering my dwarf-lantern from earlier, I cast Light on myself to make the bluff more convincing, but they totally didn't buy it, so we had to run away like total pansies. And yet again in the same campaign, we managed to get thrown against a Blink Dog. By all rights, we shouldn't have, but we did. The fight, needless to say, was going poorly. And being a 3-man group, I had to heal and throw in my weight in melee as well. Being new to the game, I didn't know how to optimize my character in the slightest, so my stats weren't all that great. But I waded into the fray anyway and wailed away at the blink dog. Or at least I tried to. Attack Roll: 1 Roll for critical miss: 20 Roll to verify: 20 Essentially what happened is my cleric with his little 1d6 mace missed the blink dog, slammed his weapon into the teammate next to him, and crit for fatal damage, instantly killing him. Worst. Cleric. Ever. [/QUOTE]
