[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5839500, member: 13703"] Not really. I think the closest I came to one was in a 2E game. My Thief went into a room where a magic mouth asked him a riddle. If he got it right, his possessions would double. If he got it wrong, he would lose all of his possessions. I had no way out of the situation. The riddle is "O, T, T - What is the next letter in the sequence?" I answered O, but it turns out that it was F as the letters were the first letter of each number 1, 2, 3, 4. So my Thief, who I remember being somewhere in the double digits in level lost everything he had. I was suddenly naked in the room. Being a 16 year old and suddenly having my character lose everything he had spent many a session accumulating, I did the natural thing and sulked. The next player that went in the room got the answer right and doubled his possessions. He kindly gave me some clothes and a weapon to use. I still spent the rest of the session sulking, but I think I got over it by the following session. That's about as dick-ish as I've gotten as a player. Thankfully I've never had to deal with a DM that told me "no, your character wouldn't do that" and stop me from taking an action I had decided upon. I can't imagine I would have responded too nicely to that situation. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
