Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shadowdancer" data-source="post: 1425657" data-attributes="member: 515">We had a player once who played a gnome thief/illusionist (this was in 1E). The best prank he ever played on the group involved posing as a powerful creature the party had earlier encountered. The creature was a rakashasta (spl?). One night, while the party was travelling and was camped for the night, the gnome passed a note to the DM (me) saying he gets up in the middle of the night to go pee, then casts an illusion on himself to look like a rakashasta. He then strolls back into camp, lies down on the gnome's bedroll, takes out his pipe and lights it up. So I tell the player of the character standing guard that he see a rakashasta stroll into camp, lie down and light up its pipe. He panics and starts waking up all the other characters. They are freaking out. They don't attack the creature, because they were easily defeated by a real rakashasta in their previous adventure. It was hilarious. The player and I kept a straight face for as long as we could, but eventually we started laughing, and that gave it away.</blockquote>
