[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 3344180, member: 49514"] The good old "fastball special" has come up twice in my campaigns, with two totally different groups, indepenent of eachother. The first was a minotaur PC tossing the less-than-sane half-elf thief (2nd ed) at the enemy, daggers extended. The second was the human/blue half-dragon tossing the elf/red half-dragon at the enemy, claws extended. The throw fell short on the second occassion, so Red, who landed prone at the enemy's feet, simply took a bite out of him after sitting up (putting her at just the right angle to make him an exceedingly short-lived eunuch). Another half-dragon occassion had Red riding a centaur/half-red dragon (another PC) who did a flying bull rush into the cave wall against the green dragon they were fighting. Red then attempted to rain great-axe destruction down upon the green dragon, only to roll a 1. The group had said, en masse, "Don't roll a 1!" Since the three were a falling tangled mess at that point, I ruled that she needed to make another attack roll to see if she accidentally hit the centaur. Again, the group said, en masse, "Don't roll a 20!" She rolled a 20. Dead centaur. During Heart of Nightfang Spire (Spoilers), the ogre character became supremely frustrated with Gulthias flying about willy-nilly, unleashing spells. So the ogre climbs the wall and attempts a jumping grapple. Rolls well enough to pull it off, drags the vampire down to the ground and the rest of the party proceeds to pulverize said spellslinging vampire. The same adventure was also the only occassion where the big bad ogre could be heard to say "eep!" when faced with energy draining attacks. I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them right now. Quentin [/QUOTE]
