Torches flaring just before he enters the room, the pitcher floating off the table and poring him a drink, while he calmly asks ' so why should I work with you?'Of course the first combat we faced didn't go so well...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Another I will always treasure is in one of the first games I ever ran, where the party was sneaking up on a castle under siege. "Aha!" Says the wizard, "I have Feather Fall memorized, put me in one of the catapults and launch me over the castle walls!" The problem of course is that rocks travel better from a catapult than wizards, and so while a rock of his weight went over the wall he just went into them.And the number of parties fried by the same player using fireball in confined spaces would fill a morgue. (1st ed AD&D's fireball filled a 33,000 cubic feet area. Cast it in a 30x30x10 foot room and the rest of the blast would travel 240 ft. down the corridor, and if the only corridor was the one that the party was standing in, well...) Yet he always played a wizard.Then there was the convention game where the ranger untied the rope holding the chandelier and tried swinging on it. The chanalier weighed more than he did, so up he went to the ceiling. Because of the stupid falling rules that the DM used made falling so incredibly lethal (taken out of the original Unearthed arcana) he decided that the best thing to do was wait until we rescued him. Unfortunately we forgot about him. Not deliberately, not to harm his character, we just forgot he was up there, and when things went against the party we left, leaving him up there.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
