[QUOTE="RuminDange, post: 1289071, member: 5412"] Back in an 1e/2e campaign I had players who would start bar fights in town by casting fireballs in the like. In one such case one of the players, an Elven Mage/Assassin, wanted to get even with the assassin's guild that killed him when he failed there initiation test to get in. The party had gotten him raised and he got with his buddy, an Elven Ranger/Mage, to go get the guild back. Anyway, they step into the small bolthole tavern where some of the guild members the mage/Assassin knows and standing in the doorway, the Ranger/Mage asks the other player if that was them. When the answer is yes, he pulls out a powerful wand of fireballs and blasts the room. Back in these days, fireballs expand to fill the area of effect. Well the room wasn't big enough and so both of the players are engulfed in the fireball as well. Once the effect is over with many guild members dead or fleeing out anyway they can, the Ranger/Mage dusting himself off and putting away the wand to his friend: "Sal you ok? Sal?" turned and looked down to find his friend a crispy critter next to him. This was the character's second death which lead to funny ones. Same group of players right after that get the Mage/Assassin reincarnated, but doing so, he comes back as an Orge Magi. The player thinks he could get to like this form, but the Ranger/Mage tells him to think about and pray to be sure. While the Mage/Assassin (Orge Magi) is thinking about it, the Ranger/Mage says "I can't" and decapitates the orge Magi, this of course prompts another reincarnation that gets the Mage/Assassin back into an elven form. But not the last death that character would ever face. RD [/QUOTE]
