Message: <blockquote data-quote="radja" data-source="post: 5782278" data-attributes="member: 80380">It was on Athas, and it was second edition. Our party was happily strolling through the desert when a roc appeared, high up in the air. The roc spotted us pretty quickly, and started to dive down toward us. This turned out to be a mistake... for the roc. I was playing a cleric at this time, and cast 'rigid thinking' on the roc. this 2nd edition spell would make the roc continue his current action for several rounds. Unfortunately for the roc, his current action was "DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!". Next in line to act was our dwarf. He saw the roc get closer and closer and had not seen what spell I cast on the roc, so his action was... "I set my spear to receive the charge!". The unfortunate roc crashed into the dwarf at top speed, suffering falling damage, and double damage from  the spear set to receive charge. Unfortunately our dwarf also suffered a lot of damage, as the roc crashed into him. He barely survived.Also second edition, but this time in the forgotten realms... My favourite spell was command. In second edition, command could be any single verb, and much fun was had inventing new commands. The leader of a group of orc bandits quickly lost all authority when the first thing he did on seeing our party (Doomsday! kicked out of each major settlement in the Realms, including Myth Drannor!) was to piss his pants on my command. But the best was that poor lone minotaur, who was the victim of my next invention: Command 'Backflip'. poor minotaur failed his save, and the DM had the monster roll a dex-check. roll, roll...a 1! (Hail El Palo!). The minotaur botched his backflip, and landed on his head, knocking himself out and his horns were stuck in the ground. Our elven rapier wielding fighter carved "Doomsday" in his belly, and we left the minotaur unconscious.</blockquote>
