[QUOTE="Nathan P. Mahney, post: 3417890, member: 29748"] One of my happiest moments in gaming was oh so long ago... My halfling thief, after his first adventure, had acquired a short sword +1. Now this was a big deal for me - it was the first time I'd had a character survive an adventure, and as far as I recall it was my first ever magic item. So what happens in the next adventure? We get captured by orcs, and the friggin' orc king takes my short sword for himself. Eventually we escaped, and everyone else just wanted to get the hell out of there, but I wasn't going anywhere without that sword. So while the others are carving their way to freedom, I sneaked off and got the drop on the orc king and totally backstabbed that bastard into oblivion. It was sweet. Another that I recall fondly: We were fighting this big warlord guy, and had been dishing out some hefty damage to him, but he was still kicking. At this point my halfling thief (now about 18th level) had turned invisible and sneaked around behind for a backstab. I whipped out my special backstabbing dagger, which was enchanted to do double damage when I twisted the hilt. My backstab was at x5 damage. So I was all set to do x10 damage on this guy. And then I rolled a natural 20 - we had the standard house rule of double damage for that. In the end I did something like 400 points of damage on that guy, and you know what the best thing was? He only had 1 hit point left before I hit him. [/QUOTE]
