WITHOUT ALERTING THE REST OF THE PARTY, the Dragonborn unsheathes his two-handed sword and drops from the tree, attempting a Link-like downward thrust on whats below.  He manages to hit his target at least, but takes himself to 0 hit points, and discovers he's dropped into the middle of a pack of ghouls.  The ghouls took the free lunch, and didn't bother the rest of us.In the next campaign, the same player, now running a barbarian, is with the group as they are descending a rope into an ancient dungeon.  Two rooms prior, the group had discovered a batch of strange, green potions we determined were alchemical poison gas bombs.  The barbarian had scooped them all up, intending to keep them to throw at enemies.  Now, nearing the bottom of the rope, he decides he's close enough that he can rage and fall the 40 feet or so and survive the landing.  So he does so.DM reminds him as soon as he's let go that he's carrying somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 bombs designed to break open when thrown to the ground.  Not only does he kill himself on impact, but the rising gas from the bombs makes it way back up the shaft, knocking out the wizard, but who is saved by the monk thanks to his slow fall ability and a nearby hall on one side of the shaft (though the monk survived with about 5 hit points).  The cleric, luckily further up, was unaffected and able to shimmy down far enough to revive the wizard and help the monk.   However, there was nothing but a crater left at the bottom of the shaft.The barbarian player's response?  "Oops".</blockquote>
