[QUOTE="Swedish Chef, post: 9801426, member: 27141"] 3rd Edition this time. The son of one of the players has joined us as a teenager to learn the game. He's playing a thief. Finds a secret niche in the wall with a lever in it. Reaches in to pull the lever and just manages to pull his hand back from the trap. (The lever was the trap - it caused a blade to slice down). The player was feeling pretty good about having made a successful save and avoiding injury. Then another player encourages him to try again. He debates it, with half the players saying No and the other half saying Go For It. He went for it. And failed his save. With no cleric strong enough to cast Regenerate, we now had a one-handed thief in the party. Same player and character, later in the adventure. The party is fighting a pair of Garillions. Thief character is invisible. Attempts to sneak up on a Garillion for a backstab. Doesn't know about the Scent ability. Before he can make his attack, he is attacked. Natural 20 to hit, followed by full damage rolled for the critical. As he was already fairly low on hit points, he essentially had his arms ripped off. Thankfully, this time, the cleric was high enough level to really help. :ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
