[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8617776, member: 508"] In my son's previous 3.5 campaign, I ran a human fighter named Jace Syngaard who was wickedly racist against halflings. In the same campaign, my friend Vicki ran a halfling rogue named Orion Nightsky. After months of my PC constantly cutting down her PC with all kinds of snide remarks about halflings, Orion decided to (literally) cut me down to size by pickpocketing a [i]potion of cure light wounds[/i] from my belt and secretly replacing it with a [i]potion of reduce person[/i]. This was something Vicki had worked out with the DM, and he rolled to see if she could do it without my knowledge - and rolled high enough to succeed. (They did this when I wasn't present, so I had no clue there was anything going on.) And then they waited until Syngaard drank down one of his healing potions...and waited, and waited, because it was months in real time (in a weekly game) before the situation came up that Syngaard needed healing in mid-combat and was across the battlefield from the party healer. So I said I was drinking down a [i]potion of cure light wounds[/i] and the DM asked me to roll percentile dice. (Syngaard had two such potions to start with and the DM randomly determined which one I grabbed from my belt.) Sure enough, it was the doctored one, so in the midst of a battle with a band of demon cultists, my son tells me, "Suddenly the world around you starts growing to twice its original size" and the entire table bursts out laughing - it turns out everyone had been in on the gag except me, who was just now learning my PC had been shrunken down to halfling size. That particular shenanigan only made my PC hate Vicki's PC that much more - but out of game I congratulated Vicki for a revenge plan well thought out and expertly administered. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
