New PC's were being played, and they found themselves in the dungeon under the Palace of the Silver Princess. We had the "1 = hit a friend" rule going. Yeah, you can see where this is heading... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> My friend, Hunter (that's his name) was playing an 18 Dex Elf. The party finds themselves in a room when suddenly a statue comes to life! The fighter rushes in, the Elf shoots...a 1. P'TOING! Right in the tusshy! A point or two of damage. Another statue animates. Another shot next round from the elf..another 1. P'TOING! Right in the other side of the tusshy! (point of damage or so). Next round...another shot...another 1...another few points of damage. Fighter yells back Stop trying to kill me, elf! One more shot...another 1. More damage. At that instant, the elf looks at his bow, shakes his head, breaks it over his knee, and mutters under his breath Nope. I'm done with that!...draws his sword and wades into battle. I don't think he picked up a bow for multiple levels after that, and nobody would trust him to shoot someone they were fighting.Ahhh...dice...such fickle things...and such wonderful story tellers on occasion! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />^_^Paul L.
