One was temporary but the other was permanent. The character was a wizard who had his hand ripped off before it started levitating and using the wand it was holding back on the wizard - forget the name of the spell but you get the idea. Anyway, the player involved had a huge sook about it when it was obvious the hand was not coming back after the magic had finished, the hand just flopped on the floor like a blackened wet fish. He instantly went to Greyhawk and the church of Pelor for a regeneration (despite the fact he still had two "hands" thanks to a hand of glory around his neck). I received dark looks from him at how I could use such a spell for the rest of the night.However, little did he know that one of the other PCs (a charlatan of the worst order who detests the wizard) had actually picked up the hand at the time and has since started a religious movement known as the "Church of the Heroes Hand". Funnily enough, the wizard's player has never connected the two incidents. When he finds out that for all this time, Brother Arnanbadullus (Brother Arnie to his friends) has been parading his removed hand around in the name of the gods, I am expecting quite a scene. The wizard will be more than upset, while Brother Arnie will simply say that since the wizard never bothered to pick it up, he thought it fair enough.A real powderkeg that one.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
