Granted, the loop had a lot to do with ignorant DMs as well, but who cares? We all had fun in the process. And if I get  situated with more ignorant DMs in the future, guess what? I'm gunna exploit that loop again, baby! LoLSo long as everybody realises that the confines are within "fantasy role-playing, adventure gaming", I'd fully expect the fantastic and inconcievable to creep up once in a while if not once per gaming session. Forty dart attacks per round every six weeks or so of gaming for a few rounds? I'll be counting down the seconds for the next monumentous occurrence!FWIW, the dart dude wasn't even a Magic-User, but a Fighter/Assassin. He had to rely upon potions of speed which weren't that easy to come by. He'd be saving them up (I think he had as many as four at one point) and everybody would be like "dude, just drink a potion of speed!" They didn't realise that I was 'saving up' for a rainy day.....or the REALLY BIG DRAGON at the bottom of the cavernous and seemingly endless dungeon.IIRC, imbibing a speed potion cost you a year, *casting* haste (whether or not you were the recipient) cost you a year, and putting haste onto a scroll cost you a year. Oddly enough, neither reading haste off a scroll nor being the recipient of haste from a scroll cost you anything! It's funny that I know those "old rules" yet never heard of rolling system shock for speed/haste scenarios, no?PS: I'm not too sure I'd have much fun in your campaigns. ;~D</blockquote>
