[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1592362, member: 9646"] [B]I just remember one of the most stupid thing a character survived![/B] I was the DM, and my homebrew setting featured nine demons of sin, each of them representing his own vice. When a mortal indulged in a vice, the relevant demon eventually noticed it, and then tried to tempt the character. Then, I had a set of rule that a character tempted is progressively turned into a humiliated slave and then is destroyed with his/her soul sent to Hell. One of the PC had gone to complete a special quest of vengeance against a NPC who was before all an ignorant, stubborn, and fearful fanatic who had burned an innocent girl believing she was a witch. This quest for revenge was not an adventure I had planned, but something the player wanted to do all by himself. I made a special solo adventure for it. Hence the domon of vengeance noticed him; I made a roll under the required percentage, succeeded it, and thus the demon tried to tempt the NPC: I really made the encounter with clues as something was amiss, but the player wouldn't dare think about it. Basically, the PC found a magical shop in a place where nobody had seen one before, in a world where magic shop did not exist! For no reason at all, the shop owner gave to the PC at no cost a magical oil to oint hiw sword. Once the PC would oint the sword, he would just had to say a ritualistic oath such as "[I]In the name of Lobiar, goddess of true justice, I kill you and damn your soul to hell for your sins![/I]" I expected that the PC would find all of this dubious, but no, he didn't. So, as soon as he would say the ritualistic phrase and use the magical item given by the demon, he would forfeit his soul to the demon... Then came a moment where the PC deemed it was time to use the magical oil. He said what was to be said, and proceeded to slay the foe. But then, he made a fumble and broke his blade! Since he didn't slay anyone with it, his soul wasn't damned! [/QUOTE]
