[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 1597569, member: 529"] [b]Leaping into the Abyss[/b] I played an egotistical human fighter in a Spelljammer campaign back in 2E with a low Int and Wis. He constantly survived against incredible odds, despite awful decisions. He and his crew were attacked by a demon of some sort, and in his typical style he scored a critical hit, forcing the demon to open a portal to the Abyss to escape into. He immediately leaped into through the translucent portal intent on finishing the wounded demon off...not for any moral reason, just out of pride. Instead of killing the demon, he found that he was faced with several of them...and he had not even been able to don any armor. The other player characters sighed and assumed he was toast. Due to a series of incredible dice rolls he survived the attacks of several fiends and managed to jump back through before the portal closed. He then casually wiped off his sword and said "Got him," to the amazement of his crew (the player characters). The other players knew better of course, but their characters thought he was incredible, so it was great fun playing him as this larger than life hero who was secretly terrified that the demon would someday hunt him down. As captain of their spelljamming ship, he consistantly made bad decisions that the first mate covered up or twisted into intelligent ones. [/QUOTE]
