Who doesn't love a good bar bet? For those who don't know, it's a wager (usually at a bar, usually while drunk) made regarding something that seems physically or socially impossible, until you realize the trick to it - either very specific phrasing or knowledge about outside factors that aren't immediately apparent. A classic one involves a pool table - you bet that you can lay the cue stick across the pool table and roll a billiard ball under the cue stick without touching it. The trick is to roll the ball across the floor under the pool table, instead of on the surface just below the cue stick.
In a recent game a player pulled a fantasy version of this - the player was a lvl 7 warlock and they were in a mage city floating a half mile above the ground. He bet any and all takers that he could jump off the side of the city, plummet to the ground and impact, then walk away unharmed - without using feather fall, flight, or any other magic (or mundane) means to slow or stop his fall. He won 500 gp off the people who bet against him.
Anyone else have any good fantasy themed bar bets that rely on a knowledge of the quirks in the rules?
