[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 7047649, member: 4892"] I had at least one friend at 12 years old that would have punched me in the face if I gloated about killing the whole party. I had one friend in high school who saw his high level barbarian killed when he dealt roughly 250 points of damage to a low level draconian caster and I announced that he took 500 points of damage in return from its invisible fire shield, killing him. Then the dead draconian blew up and I called for him to make saving throws for his now unattended magic items. After an incredibly horrid set of rolls, including a natural 1 for his prize weapon, he lost nearly everything. I didn't find killing his character to be funny, but I couldn't keep a straight face over the circumstances. He leapt up from his chair with a familiar look I'd seen when he was about to beat the snot out of someone. If not for two other friends sitting next to him who reacted fast enough to grab him I'm certain a punch would be the least I got. Not all gamers are the frail geeks we see in the media. This friend was a massive amateur wrestler who happened to enjoy playing D&D. Sent from my XT1045 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
