[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7958496, member: 18"] I think my most brutal magic item destruction was a pretty low-level one when a L2 or L3-ish party raiding some ancient temple they had to climb down a rope to get into (like 80'), and after lots of monsters, they found a bunch of potions, which the Cleric* who was leading them insisted on putting all of into his backpack. They had to leave by climbing up the rope, which they all did, with him last. He insisted he would keep his plate mail on whilst climbing the rope, and that despite going up last, he would not, as they offered, be pulled up - it was undignified. Obviously he managed to fall off about 30' up and I ruled that he smashed all the potions, and I didn't even feel a little bit bad. He had quite a lot of potions - I think all the ones the party had collected in 2-3 adventures up to that point, and this was 2E so potions were all over the place in pre-gen adventures. * = (one of the very few actual Clerics I saw in 2E, almost every other Priest was some sort of Speciality Priest or other variant - I saw more Mystics than Clerics!)
