[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 4628781, member: 21215"] While there have been many intra-party kills in the course of my RPG experience, the best was more an insult to injury event... Playing Rolemaster, the holy warrior can create a field of golden light around him 10' in all directions. Whenever an evil creature enters or remains in the aura, they suffer a Class A Bludgeoning Critical. Apparently deities like bludgeoning with light... Anyway, the character in question also has a flaw which makes certain holy power stronger, but if he rolls a certain number on the percentile dice (on ANY roll), he gets a blinding backflash of power - which hits him with pain and blinds him. This usually means his aura and other holy powers go down unless he makes a resistance roll versus the pain. New to Rolemaster at the time, I'm unfamiliar with the specifics. He wades through a horde of Orc warriors rolling massive criticals without having to even swing his sword, while the rest of us circle the villains' caravan and attack from other directions. Having almost gotten to where I'm fighting, he rolls the aforementioned backlash number. The orc's skull explodes, but the paladin stands there with his eyes flaring with gold-white fire and wracked with pain. Knowing that there was a wrecked wagon in front of him, and no immediate enemies before he went blind, he staggers forward, saying, "I..I...I'm going to sit down now." It is at this point I look at the gamemaster and the paladin player and say, "I really hate to say this, but, um, Blane just walked through my Wall of Cold to sit down. So, that means I roll a Class A Cold Critical on him, right?" Frostbite ensues, and from the player of the paladin we hear, "I'm...I'm gonna lie down now." It took a while to fix him up... [/QUOTE]
