[QUOTE="Liolel, post: 1880435, member: 1766"] Three incidents come to mind. The first incident involved a wizard that had a wand that cast some rather damaging ice spell that the wizard would use against monsters. Now there came a point when the party was trying to save a npc from a monster, and after the fight the npc was bleeding to death. So the wizard thinking somewhere on the lines of ice being able to help with wounds uses the wand on the dying npc. Unfortunetly I don't remember what happened next. The second incident involved the same wizard. We were stuck in a room with a strange magical ceiling that absorbed anything that touched it. The wizard has one of the partys fighters throw him at the ceiling. The gm then said something along the lines of "As your hair starts to disolve you realize that this was a bad idea." The third incident occured in a different group and is what I consider one of the stupidest things to ever happen in a game I was involved in. Its winter, theres a blizzard outside, and the partys in small town. The inn costs 5 silver pieces. One player playing a monk decides that he doesn't want to spend 5 silver pieces and decides to sleep outside in the snowstorm. The party was about level three. The monk survived because several members of the party went out to rescue the monk after a few hours since reason did not work. We brought the monk unconsious back to the inn, and the cleric healed him. Despite almost dying the monk still not wanting to pay 5 silvers, turned around to head back out. The innkeeper at that point knocked the monk unconcious with a cudgel. [/QUOTE]
