[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 3024239, member: 12037"] Why does a reason have to be a malfunction? I have reasons for playing the way I do. I like DMing for people who do off the wall things and reward them for it. EDIT: Here's an example. The PCs were trying to gain access to a place that had been taken over by their enemies. They basically recruited an army and just stormed the place. Ran in with the lead force and attacked anything they saw. Or the time they jumped through a portal without being sure where it went because they were on the trail of an enemy and didn't want to slow down. Sure, I could have had it drop them on the Plane of Fire, but then they'd just die. Or the time they lept through another portal that was in a crematorium fire pit on just the word of a guy they hardly knew. Sure, maybe he could have lied and they would be jumping to their deaths, but instead they got whisked away to where they were trying to get. [/QUOTE]
