[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 1597612, member: 14451"] The stupidest thing one of my players did, (I wasn't around, but they talk about it from time to time) was when they were a young party of around level 3, they put some food in a clearing and hide in some bushes and waited until an Ettin came by. One character leaned in towards the others and said to the DM "I wait until the Ettin grabs for the food, and then I shoot him in the head", actually, I think they all died:( , guess that doesn't count. The stupidest thing I ever did and lived to tell the tale, was when I was playing 1st edition (but after Unearthed arcana) I had a 29th level Wizard/23rd level Druid and we needed Asmodeus' 1,000,000 diamond from his staff for a spell component, to save the world of course, and to get it we needed to go through each of the planes of hell. When we got to Tiamats lair, we tried to sneak past her and go through the portal to the nineth plane of hell (our DM had Tiamat ascend to the ruler of the 8th plane), but it is hard to sneak past Tiamat and her five dragons. Of course a fight broke out, we ganged up on the Big red first and when he was killed I cast time stop (don't know why I didn't cast it before, duh), only to find out that Tiamat wasn't effected by Time Stop (damn DMs and their rules). Of course I was surprised, but I did the only thing I knew how to do when I was low on spells, I tried to talk to her and reason with her. To my surprise, her great red head began to agree with me and was going to let us pass, as long as we agreed to kill Asmodeus (well, how else would we get his staff after all), but the sneaky black head almost killed my PC with a bath of acid while I was distracted. After that, we made a run for it, four out of eight made it. I almost fell, I was almost number five to go down, I was at 49 hit points, made my save as the red head breathed on me as I entered the portal, made it out on the other side with 4 hit points, whew, almost lost him.
