This was back in 2E, and I was playing an elven archer/mage (yes I know. We were young.) Anyway, there was an item in the elves handbook that consisted of a fragile pot on the end of an arrow, with a fire trap spell on it. When it hit something and shattered, the spell went off.I decided that this could be improved. I had a jeweller make me a javelin head with a dozen tiny compartments in it, after enlarging the original work to make it easier to work on. Then I had the party cleric enchant each of them (permanent duration). The blast from one being crushed destroyed all the other, causing an explosion that did hideous damage for our level. In a radius. Not only did my GM let me do this, but he actually increased the power by saying I could put a pint of greek fire in the compartments. When my character used one to take out an entire group of trolls in one round, losing his eyebrows in the process, we both realised that something had gone badly wrong.I think the end came when I used one on an enemy warship, which managed to grapple to us before it burned to the waterline, taking us with it.</blockquote>
