[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 2709620, member: 6584"] In the group I play in had a collective brain fart a while ago... Forgot to buff up before a fight with some psionic gith(yanki?). At 17th level with nearly 2 years playing that campaign... Was meant to be a 'speedbump' encounter and came 'this close' to a tpk. :D As a GM - paladin character falls out of a boat and into a lake, can't swim very well in all that armour... The other PCs are trying to drag him out, when they see a giant turtle moving beneath them. The party psion says: "I'll distract it, you save the paladin." Rather than using any of his vast array of mental spells, the player decides to jump into the lake and "I'll polymorph into a giant, tasty looking salmon". Bite + Swallow whole. Same player, Shadowrun - running through the Universal Brotherhood series. Short version - fighting a bunch of evil giant magical insects that (sort of) hatch eggs inside people. On finding out about them, he decides to walk into their base and cut a deal... Hmmm. And again, same guy - playing Deadlands - got talking to a demon, then started asking it for help - in return for which he will offer it 'unspecified favours at a later date'. Like that's going to end well? [/QUOTE]
