[MENTION=67954]moxcamel[/MENTION]; Well its when you seem most predictable you pull the switch card and reverse it.  After I did this once I did it again, of course they all thought I was full of it.  And then Ben was the saboteur; I've never seen them get knocked out cold that fast haha.  Silly adventures, thinking they've "got" the DM all figured out.[MENTION=72670]Raunalyn[/MENTION]; I find DM's in that rut of anti-player hood need to calm down sometimes... Or get even.  For me one of my players (when I was still a green DM) used two scrolls of polymorph to I) change into a Balor, then II) a Balor with green eyes (so the timer reset to a minuscule change and therefore permanently).  Instead of getting mad as he'd done this before I had Asmodeus summon him to serve him forever in hell.  Then some games later I had Steven the Balor come and stir up some asswhoop ;P[MENTION=83870]Kingreaper[/MENTION]; not with corn starch and red food colouring!  Add in a few drama classes and Orcus wouldn't even know![MENTION=76945]Thatwackyned[/MENTION], [MENTION=27897]Ryujin[/MENTION], [MENTION=6667124]ffy[/MENTION]; I'd have to agree, it would probably end in a little punishment.  Or eternal damnation <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Or yes the complete shift of alignment and a warped view.  Maybe as a DM I'd suggest while that happened X kobolds appeared attacking your friends...  Only it was the Evil God empowering and tricking you to murder your friends.[MENTION=72670]Raunalyn[/MENTION]; fair as well; there seems to be an abundance of DM's on power trips and it takes time to get a good one.  I remember once an old DM of mine just told me when I went to subdue a child I "tripped" and crushed him to death thereby forcing a town to hang me.  No roll, no reason, just for him to do and he said it was his right as DM to say how things went.</blockquote>
