[QUOTE="isoChron, post: 497327, member: 5927"] No, no, I didn't piss of my DM, at least i hope so, and it wasn't important for the story ... it was just an intermezzo. Full Story: Our group defeated an evil warlord with a HUGE BAD RED SWORD. My PC (Knight & Paladin of Torm) disarmed him (with a natural 20 :) on the first strike ... lucky guy) and the picked up the dropped sword. Now that was a bad idea ... it is an intelligent artifact with ego of 32 ... it's a nice weapon with lots of extras but it has it's own mind and it's bloodthirsty. My paladin nearly always failed his will save (DC32) and lost a Ability score (wisdom) each time. The change of character was noticed by the party and they thought it's necessary to divorce the paladin and the sword (they are sooo right !) before he is at Wisdom 0 which means his mind is completly controlled by the sword. By the way, the sword is wanted by a big bunch of demons .... Well, we were climbing down a chain into an old dwarfkeep with lots of evil undead and golems and the mage used my helpless position and tried to thief the sword from my back ... it failed due DM call. Down on the floor the sword suggested that the mage is a traitor and i have to kill traitors. He escaped using fly and invisbility. Now our cleric of Tempus! gave Mandorallen a potion. He told me it is a potion of cure xxx wounds. My character drank the potion but it was a sleep poison. My DM ruled there is no save at all and my character fell asleep. The upcoming irongolem and my iron fist holding the sword even asleep disturbed the plan of my party. Hmm, congratulations if you understood even something of my weired story told in even more weired english :) My DM is still holding on to the no-first-save-in-poisoned-food-rule. :( Thank you all again for the replies.
