There was a wu-jen with an interesting sense of humor. He wasn't particularly powerful at the time. In a fight on the streets, a fruit cart got overturned and he saw his opportunity. To spook and distract the party's opponents, he created an illusion of the fruit forming into a humanoid shape with big oranges for eyes, bunches of bananas for hands, and so on. The bad guys, of course, ran. But now I have the idea of a fruit golem that I just can't shake...2. Another wu-jen in the campaign, this one also a ninja, had the tendency to unleash his Rain of Fire spell on enemies. One day, he unleashed it on an opponent who was not only not amused, but could also return the favor. Unfortunately, this wu-jen also had a wicker backpack with a substantial amount of gunpowder in it. The party scraped up pieces of him later for raising.Not long after that, they encountered one of the Nine Immortals (specifically, the one responsible for the local agriculture) and asked for his help. He not only resurrected the wu-jen, he did it in his own agricultural way. He took the body part they had recovered, a toe, and planted it in the ground. He watered it. Then the wu-jen quickly grew a new body right out of the ground. I thought it was a nice special effect.</blockquote>
