[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6413684, member: 67338"] last night I was playing a 2e retroclone (myth and magic) one PC is playing a Psion using the 2e book. He has 52 power points at full. He just got disintegrate (very early from the wizard he is 4th level) and it costs 40 power points... he was really excited about showing it off... and they came to a locked door. He declaired "I disintegrate it" I then said "wait... umm, your really smart and wise character is really going to do that?!? are you sure?" He said "Yea, I really want to use the power..." so my answer was "You do know being mid dungeon, odds of a monster in the next room or two are high right?!!?" His answer was "So?" So I said to the player next to him "I will hate myself in a moment..." then sigh and say "You might want to use say, boot, or a handle to open the door, and save your big bad ass attack for a monster..." The player didn't even think and just said "I could use X power for that" (I really don't remember I think his pyrokinessis) my answer was "How many times can you do that after spending 40pts?" "Oh, none, I only have 2pts left then..." "So what are you doing??" "letting kurt open the door..." does anyone think that was wrong of me to remind him that it isn't a game to his smart character and he should think before he does something? [/QUOTE]
