Lightning Bolt - Destroyer of Magic Rings?

[gariig]

One of my PCs wanted his Fireballs to burn enemy equipment. They were fighting kobolds, and he assumed they didn't have good magic items.

I promptly dropped several weak fireballs (5th-level) on the 14th-level mage, and he failed a save. I ruled that every last scrap of his equipment was gone, including his underwear. [Strip-Fighting feat required] Then I told him I would follow the rules in the book (and give back his gear) if he stopped whining. He stopped whining.

I have a house rule like this: If you do it, I do it back. If the PCs start whipping out Harm's(not high enough yet) and Polymorph others(just got it) I would do the same. It's made them fear Harm..and the end of City of the Spider Queen is a Hierophant Cleric..they could have the reach spell ability
