Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wycen" data-source="post: 1255476" data-attributes="member: 13732">For a change of pace, this is my relation of a failed experiment as a player in a game.  It was of course our first 3E game.Myself and another guy decided we'd be twin brothers of bhaalspawn and Naline De'Arnise, if you are familiar with Baldur's Gate 2.  I was a fighter, he was a rogue, eventually hoping for shadow dancer.The DM is someone I now recognize has a history of "wonky" ideas, but at the time this one seemed fun, and was.Basically, we played in the world of Harry Potter, though no Harry Potter existed and the names were changed.  We went to a wizard's university, to discover what was happening to the students.  We ran into Herietta, the smart girl, (Hermione), and my character used her to cheat off of, we had a ghost instructor and eventually discovered an underground chamber, a secret chamber, were a teacher had kidnapped students for some vile ritual.  Colonel Griffinheart, the commander of the local militia rewarded us for our efforts.  Then we found another deeper chamber and investigated.  Out of a soupy tub rises an undead thing.  It shoots a lightening bolt at us.  A 10d6 lightening bolt.  The party was all 2nd and 1st level characters, my fighter having the most hit points, around 20 I think.  The damage even after she halved it was enough to kill everyone.  Turned out it was a lich.The guy playing my brother asks the husband of the DM to talk to her and say, "hey, uh, that was not fun for us".I used that as the basis for my character becoming a coward.  The DM decided to let her husband take over the reigns and give it a try.  We thought nothing of it, if anything, it would protect us against CR 12 monsters.Alas, we found ourselves leaving Harry Potter world and got shipped off to a few islands, ala Great Britain.Too many things started going sour to list them all, among them being a 5th level character, but counted as 6th "because you have such good stats" with no magic item, and the same through out the rest of the party, except the barbarian being able to buy a magic sword with the mage bane property, the party now having 3 of the various arcane classes, and the straw that broke the camels back was finding the "impenetrable vault" looted and dwarven graffiti on the wall claiming "Killrock was here".</blockquote>
