[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 497738, member: 4134"] So it was actually good for you to fall asleep so the others could get you rid of the sword. In that case, you may actually agree to the whole thing (maybe the party has tried everything else). [B][/B] Ach was, dein Englisch ist in Ordnung so! :D (or, you make exactly the same mistakes as I do, and we understand our "denglisch" perfectly ;-)) [B][/B] As I said: In that case it was to your benefit - and a special case on top of that. Maybe he miscalculated the sword and must take that measure for you to get rid of that curst thing (or your character is doomed). That happens to many DM's (I had nothing like that, but, then again I only DM for a month or two). If he persists on it even if you do it to an enemy (or the enemy does it to you), I would ask him to reconsider. Just imagine someone putting two or three doses of black lotus into your meal. You won't get a save and automatically take 3d6 con damage (and if all those doses apply at once, maybe because you drained the mug with the poison in it in one go, you'll get 9d6 con damage - almost sure kill). I could - maybe - be persuaded to forget that save if the target where under mind influencing magic. But as it was already said: fort saves (and saves in general) are no deliberate action, they're a reaction, just like you pull away a hand from a flame, even if you want to stick it in there!
