[QUOTE="boxstop7, post: 1631653, member: 8804"] Hrmmmmm...I think I can relate two stories for this one. I played in neither game (as each happened before I got into role-playing), so my recollection might be slighty fuzzy. But both remain timeless tales among my friends... 1) (AD&D game) Adventuring group rolls into town, parks themselves in the local Inn. The town is known to fear/revere magic users. Local bar bully decides to gather his cronies and pick a fight with the newcomers. After about thirty seconds of vile threats and demands to offer up their vaulables, the wizard calmly stands up casts [I]command[/I] on the bully. His command: urinate... 2) (AD&D game) Party was being chased across rolling plains by a group of somethings (kobolds, perhaps? I can't remember...). Wizard gets this quasi-evil little gleam in his eye, and comes to a stop. The rest of the party is yelling for him to keep up, and instead he begins collecting every pint of Gond fire oil he has on his person. Once satisfied with the number of pints in his hands, he tosses them straight up into the air and casts [I]levitate[/I]. He then coyly walks over the ridge to where the party was hiding, concentrating on the spell all the while. As the group of little nasties crests the ridge, he releases the spell, sending the fire oil crashing to the ground. Containers burst, oil ignites, and the little nasties get scorched by some good ol' fashioned D&D napalm. To this day it remains one of [B]the[/B] most creative things I've ever seen a wizard do. Classic moment... - Jason [/QUOTE]
