Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bayushi Seikuro" data-source="post: 3404824" data-attributes="member: 23328">Well, thought I'd chime in.There have been some doozies over the years -- one when my ranger went along with looting a dragon, his bloodbrother, a paladin of Sif, decided to come at him with a weapon to stop him; I chopped him down.  DM was nice, let the paladin end up with one hp.  He stands up and charges me again, despite the ranger having not sheathed his weapons, and I cut him down again.  He freaked out, about how could I do that to my sworn brother, etc etc.Some weeks later, he was talking about what an awesome martial artist he was, that he had this awesome style that involved fighting at 45 degree angles, etc etc.  So this mellow gamer who also was a kickboxer said, "Okay, let's go fight outside."  They go outside, it's raining.  The 'awesome martial artist' goes for the roundhouse kick, slips in the mud, and the other gamer just kicks him in the face once, snapping a tooth out.   We didn't know what happened, most of us were inside, but the cocky guy game back in, muddy and holding his face.  I couldn't help it and made a comment about his superior 45-degree-angle theory not working when someone attacks you at a 37.5 degree corner, I guess.-------------------Best one I heard since moving to Knoxville, and it's not even mine.There was a drama queen in a game, always playing the kender-type -- you know, the 'Ohhh, I'm so cute and fun, no one will get annoyed when I constantly pick their pockets and rob from them.'  Most people just went along with it, whatever.  A new guy started playing, I guess.  After at least a session of this woman's crap, he comes up with a plan -- drug her character, open her up while sedated, and put marbles in her so they can hear her coming, so no Move Silently.  All the rolls came up excellent for him and not so good for her.  She got pissed, freaked out, threw stuff, stormed off, you name it.The game went on.  About 45 minutes later, she came in, still angry, and demanded to see where, on his character sheet, it said Marbles.  The DM sighed, shrugged and said to just show her.The new player?  He goes:  "Right here.  See, it says 'Caltrops.'"Ooops.  Big misunderstanding of caltrops vs. other pursuit-delaying techniques.I get a smile even writing that one.---------------------------------------For the most part, the games have, at worst, devolved into some taunting and hurt feelings and smacktalk.   Except for the melee that got drinking banned from this person's house by his fiance'/cogamer, when her then-fiance decided to get in a grapplefest with a guy we lovingly call the Farbarian.  I still remember it, clear as day, seventeen years later.  Boy, that wicker chair shattered all to heck.Why do I alla sudden visualize the one-eyed guy from 13th Warrior telling the tale of the Fire Wurm? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
