[QUOTE="Lalalei2001, post: 3762648, member: 38386"] The group involved in this one included a fighter who was, well, "gifted". The player was actually playing the character like this on purpose, since he typically played the comic relief for the group, though in this instance he was the one who messed up. This party had just entered a cavern that the DM had described as " an expansive, open-ceilinged cavern", and had spotted it's occupant: an adult red dragon, one that was clearly not happy to see them. The players, who were all around 5th level at the time, were supposed to have ended up doing a quest for him. That's when this player had a bright idea... Player: Hey, how big is the tunnel we came in through? DM: About 4' wide by 8' high. Player: Are there any other exits in this cavern? DM: No. Why? Player (smiling): Alright, I draw my sword. DM and other players: WHAT? Player: There's no way an adult red dragon could have fit through that tunnel. It has to be an illusion! DM (motioning for the others to be quiet): So why are you drawing your sword? Player: If I take a swing at it, it should dispel the illusion. DM: Okay, you draw your sword. (trying to give the player a subtle hint) You idly notice raindrops bouncing off of the blade. Player (apparenly not getting it): Alright, now I rush at it! DM (shrugs): Okay, you rush at the illusionary dragon, which swings an illusionary claw at you and illusionarily rips your head off. Your character sheet, please. Player: WHAT? That can't happen! It was an illusion! There was NO WAY he could fit in here. DM: Sure there is. He came in from above. Player: Above? DM: Yes, above. I told you it was an open-ceilinged cavern, right? Player (after a long pause): It was? DM (while the others nod their heads): Yep. Player: Nooooo.... The dragon ended up letting the others go, since it was still laughing too hard to do anything else with them. [/QUOTE]
