[QUOTE="Lalalei2001, post: 3745354, member: 38386"] This is a story from a long time ago, but which is still repeated in my gaming group. I was GM'ing a game of Rolemaster and the group were attempting to infiltrate a nomad encampment in the bottom of a gentle bowl, at night. While the group was doing this, the Illusionist (a 7 foot tall High Man) decided it would be a fantastic idea to create a stationary illusion of a powerful-looking warrior some way from the camp to hide behind. The other players tried to talk him out of it, but he did it anyway. So the party now has an utterly useless illusion that is a hundred yards from the camp and can't be seen because it's a moonless night! Meanwhile, the rest of the party has stolen what they came for and are fleeing the pursuing nomads. The Illusionist player, however, is determined to make use of his spell after all the crap he has received, so he decides to wait until the nomads arrive and try and scare them. Well, suffice to say, the nomads turn up and stumble on a huge warrior threatening them in the night. So what do they do? They shoot him with arrows of course. Which pass straight through the illusionary warrior. Straight into the Illusionist crouching behind him. [/QUOTE]
