[QUOTE="Brightshadow, post: 189112, member: 3584"] Yes, once. The party was being chased by a ghost with an slightly-modified ghosttouch sword (all they would see is a billowing cloak, and the end of a blade suddenly appear in front of them!). They fought him off time and again, but he kept returning... One night, the party ranger was on his own, out by a dock, when the ghost attacked. It should be mentioned here that the person playing the ranger had HORRIBLE luck at the time. I mean absolutely godawful luck. After a bit of a fight, the ranger fell in the water. And sank like a rock for about four rounds. And spent the next 30 rounds or so desperately trying to swim to the surface. We kept track of how many he passed, and how many he failed by five or more, and watched him rise and sink like an aquatic yo-yo while the ghost hovered above the water. It should also be mentioned here that the ranger was only encumbered with two swords and some leather armour. That's it. So it wasn't like the water was choppy, or he was weighed down, or had some kind of circumstance against himself. He just couldn't roll anything on the die but a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 15 :D [/QUOTE]
