[QUOTE="SkredlitheOgre, post: 5771105, member: 99513"] From a 3E campaign about 10 or 11 years ago. Party is on a boat and I'm the 3rd level Dwarven Cleric. One of the party members is a (secretly) EEEEEEEVIL Elf Ranger and poisons the party. I was the only one to make the Fort save and since I didn't have any poison spells prepared, I went after the evil Ranger. She crits me with her bow, but since I'm a Dwarf and she has Human as her favored enemy, I don't take the extra damage. I fort save again against (house ruled) massive damage (it was close to 20 points after Strength bonus). I chase after her and decide instead of dodging around and through doors that I burst through the wall of the deckhouse. Natural 20 on Strength check. BOOM! Run through the wall and attack the Elf. Critical with a warhammer, knocked her off the boat and into the river. The campaign ended before we found out whether she survived or not. From a 2E campaign, my party was being chased through a cave system by a pack of dire wolves. Eventually, I make my way up to the top of this mountain/mesa/thing and I'm the only one left, due to bad rolling on our part. I'm lost all of my gear trying to stay ahead of the wolves. I look down over the edge and spot a lake. I say I'm going to jump. DM says that I can pick one number off of percentile dice to take the minimum falling damage. I pick 57. 57 comes up. So, I jump what had to be like 500 feet down into the lake. "You survive! Now, 500 times 1 is...500 hit points of damage." Aw. [/QUOTE]
