They always fail to read the last sentence of the spell description. Spells seem to be worded like this:"The badass dude spell gives the caster automatic quicken spell for any spell cast during the duration. You get +10 AC, +50 to saves, and triple hit points. Your comrades think you are the bomb, and will follow any directions you give. Enemies must make a Will save to avoid dying of a heart attack at the mere sight of your awesomeness. Even with a successful save, the enemies are stunned for 10 rounds. This spell only functions for four-armed casters, in the Nine Hells, and after the duration expires you die."This has been the case all through the editions of the game. A Player says he casts such-and-such a spell, then describes to me what it does. I say, "What? That can't be right." He says, "Yep, it says so right here." Then he reads the spell description, stopping just before the last sentence. I open the book, look the spell over, notice the last sentence, and read it aloud."Oh." says the Player.I have seen this *so* many times. And in most cases, the Player isn't really trying to cheat or anything, it was just an honest mistake out of excitement, it seems.Have you witnessed this phenominon?Quasqueton</blockquote>
