[QUOTE="Foundry of Decay, post: 702064, member: 846"] I have 2: One was in a homebrew D&D game I run. Two of the party were to meet up with a corrupted farmer's son who found a bleak tome that allowed him to tear the living force from nearby people and use it to fuel spells with. They came across him, exchanged words, and the madman started to cast. The party had readied themselves in case the mage began to cast, and the Elf in the duo got initiative, fired an arrow at the corrupt mage, rolled a 20, then another natural 20.. We use a variant rule stating that if if 2 20's are rolled, a third check is made, and if it hits, the victim of the attack goes to -1 and dying instantly.. He rolled an 18 :P Instant baddie kaput. (Incedentally, he didn't die, as he was healed, and brought to the temple to stay, later escaped, and was blasted to dust by the mage in much the same way! Just wasn't cut out to be a villain I guess). The second was a game a short while ago that when I was planning the encounter, I didn't have my thinking cap on (I likely had a lobotomy at that point). The party was to cross a large rope bridge across a chasm, with a rusted metal carcass of a knight standing in the middle of it. One PC simply cut the rope. Down goes knight, clackity-clackity-KLUNK, and party simply teleports over to other side. My brain falls out of my ear to mocking laughter and warm applause. [/QUOTE]
