Old characters, new characters, any edition, any class...when/what time do you remember above alllll else as being your character's "shining moment"?I'll start...We were playing an altered version of the Demonweb Pits...I thiiink we were still in 2e at the time...Our party wizard had some convoluted background making him "half-drow" and what not...it was a long, intense, campaign into the Underdark.Anywho, I was playing a 14th level cleric. We were in a major fight with a big bad evil guy who GATED IN a Retriever...This was back when they were actual demons from the Fiend Folio...none of this "construct" crap.By the description I knew it wasa retriever and told the rest of the party I could take care of it, but I needed time. "What do we have to do?" said the party's major kick-ass fighter-type. "Keep it off me. I need 10 rounds to cast." I said.I cast a couple of (what would now be called) "buffer" spells. Prayer, I think, and a resist fire or some such...presuming that ONE of the retriever's eye-beams involved fire.Then, 2 or 3 rounds in, I cast Sanctuary...She had the retriever try to attack me...which led to an argument with the DM about HOW Sanctuary worked.    Given the large number of OTHER party members who were obvious targets, I won.Next round (which led to argument) I started to cast "banishment" (or "dismissal", I don't recall. It was a long time ago...I think it was banishment.) Which led to an argument that I had it memorized that day...I showed the DM my character sheet with my spell list of "typically" memorized spells (she was a cleric of the goddess of healing, but had a penchant for demon-fighting spells and kept a cadre of spells specifically for that purpose...not to mention..drow? Underdark? Duh, anti-demon stuff!)So I won that too. The party fought HAAAAARD for the next TEN ROUNDS I needed to get this spell off...and when it was done I had to make a roll (I believe I had to roll to beat the creature's spell resistance?)...I've never, in my gaming life been so happy to see a 19...EVER! The DM rolled lower...The DM was pissssssssed! But beautifully described the creature (who I think had taken out a party member or two by then) being wrenched back to its home plane.The drow priestess who'd conjured it either fled or fell shortly thereafter and I spent a few rounds doing massive healings and (if memory serves) returning another party member from stone to flesh...Whatever details I am forgetting...it was the most glorious moment of any character I've ever run.Your turn.--SD</blockquote>
