[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6158262, member: 6681948"] Speaking of failed deductions, I recall an old module featuring hordes of Undead who, for some reason, were incapable of perceiving Paladins. The first action taken (against a host of Skeletons) was the Paladin attempting to Turn them. He should have Dispelled a bunch - but they can't perceive him, so no skeletons collapsed. The Cleric's player says "Great - Undead immune to Turning". They sure took a lot of damage fighting increasingly powerful Undead that they never again attempted to turn. Well, they all did except the Paladin - for some reason, they never attacked him... As I recall, someone did finally notice there was never an attack called against the Paladin. The same scenario saw a deliberate "faulty assumption". They did not find what they were looking for. They searched EVERY 10' wall space for secret doors (accidentally overlooking one...twice!) Finally, the one Elf's player said "I know no one wants to say it, but I think we have to go there", pointing at the one overlooked section. Which has 6 inch letters in green flame spelling out a dire warning - visible only to elves. "How was I supposed to know the rest of you couldn't see it? They're SIX INCH FLAMING LETTERS! I just assumed no one wanted to find out what was back there if we could avoid it." [/QUOTE]
