[QUOTE="Switchblade, post: 3906846, member: 56246"] Dumb things PC's have done: 2e First time anyone got to a high enough level to cast 3rd level spells in any game we'd played to that point I attacked the party with some frog men while they were traveing through a slow moving swampy river in a wooded barge. Wizard casts fireball. At a target 10 feet away. On a wooden and tarred deck. The rest of the party were a little scorched, the wizard and his spell book were charred. Shadowrun: Party are sent to sabotage a nuclear reactor in the bottom of a bunker. They get lost and stop to ask at a guard post where the secret nuclear reactor core is. Shadowrun: Runner is at the check in desk at Heathrow airport. He decides he needs to get a baggage handlers uniform so walks up to the nearest one and proceeds to slit his throat. In front of the check in desks. To make matters worse it turns out he doesn't own a knife, he is using a scalple from his medikit and has no armed combat skills. He defaults (with a HUGE penalty) to his strenght (his dump stat) and gets beaten up by the baggage handler. He seemed genuinly supprised to find there were a lot of armed police officers around the airport. He at least had the sence to go quietly. Player 2 then mounts a rescue. He goes in to the station and pretends to be player 1's lawyer. The fake ID doesn't quite cut it but not suspitiously so. The desk sergant says "there seems to be a fault on the credstick, do you have another one?" so player 2 hands him another fake ID, different name, different permit list, different.... Player 2 gets busted. Player 3 does the entire run on his own unimpeded by the other 2 before mounting a sucessful rescue (as he didn't want them loose until after the work was done). [/QUOTE]
