Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 5745891" data-attributes="member: 52734">I've had players mention this before, but like Bullgrit, the threat of "NPCs can do it too" has put this matter to rest. (Movie-wise, I've seen this done twice.  Once in the animated movie Fire and Ice and in a 80's or 90's western movie whose name I can't remember - I think it may have been Unforgiven; the "good guys" shoot one of the bad guys in the chest point-blank with a shotgun while doing his business in an outhouse).  In a non-serious fashion, it's also been done in Austin Powers.I've also had one group of players who wanted to ambush an opponent while he was taking a bath (like in The Good, Bad and the Ugly).  Unfortunately for the group, the party blew it's attempts to sneak in and alerted the guards.  By the time they got to the enemy, he was dressed and ready for them.A few years back, I had a force of orcs attacking a small town during the night.  They happened to catch one PC's character whilst in the middle of a roll in the hay with a local barmaid.But really, is any of this different than attacking a sleeping opponent?  Personally, I wouldn't resent the PCs catching an individual while indisposed if it was a normal part of adventuring, but if they were to purposely attempt to catch an opponent this way, I might feel differently.Also, I seem to recall one of the Ravenloft supplements dealing with a "brood queen" that dwells in the sewers below a Paris-like realm of terror.  If I remember correctly, the entry encouraged attacking the PCs using a privy in the area.  However, I can't seem to find the supplement I'm referring to (thought it was in Darklords or Book of Crypts, but alas, I can't locate it).</blockquote>
