That made my day <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Stupidest thing that every happened in a game of mine: back in the days of 2e, a wizard with a phobia of climbing and heights is in a very small jolly boat with a brutish fighter having just escaped a corsair ship. They make it to shore, but there are no beaches, just these really sheer cliffs. The wizard takes one look at the cliffs and says "there's no way I'm going up there, we need to find another way."The fighter's answer to this is to knock out the wizard and carry him up! Stupid enough for ya yet? More stupid? Ok- he decides it's best if he distracts the wizard before doing the deed, so he points out to sea and says "the corsairs have found us!". When the wizard turns to look the fighter hits him over the head with the only weapon he still has, a +2 club. Result: the wizard hops around the boat clutching his head and shrieking while the fighter blinks in confusion... then hits him again! So it goes on, the wizard's player pleading the fighter's player to stop hitting him and the fighter passing me more notes: "hit him again" until finally the wizard goes down and over the side of the *very small boat*. A close-thing rescue later and it's at this point the fighter realises he hasn't the slightest hope in hell of climbing the sheer cliff with an unconscious, dripping wizard slung over his shoulder.Good thing both players saw the funny side.Another stupid moment was actually in-character stupid, which is always good for laughs. It didn't happen in my game (lamentably), but a friend told me of his hobbit character who lost an arm in combat. Thinking with the inevitable hobbit logic, he rigged up a shoulder strap and a bucket filled with soil, stuck  his bleeding stump in the thing and walked around wearing it for the rest of his game in the hope that 'his arm would grow back'.</blockquote>
