In the campaign, the BBEG had a group of deathknights as his generals. I had made this decision without actually looking at deathknights, and when I finally did I noticed they had swords that shot fireballs... 20d6 fireballs to be exact.As the group was gathered in the heart of the keep they'd built, discussing what to do with the ancient artifact they'd just gone to extreme effort (and a few PC deaths) to get, when said BBEG walked in.The smart PCs ran away with the relic while the others rushed in. Handily being immune to fire, the BBEG took the sword he'd swiped from one of his death knights, pointed it at his feet, and set off a fireball. I described this, then looked at my dice.I gathered up all the d6s I had - 15, which was a considerable handful - then looked up at the suddenly pale players and said "I need more d6s". Two PCs died instantly and a few more did in the combat afterward before fleeing.12 years later, if someone needs another dice, they always say or a DM notices a monster has a powerful attack, they say "I need more d6s".</blockquote>
