[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 211018, member: 3208"] ok, here is one i did last week, i'm playing this dwarf fighter with a high int but a really low wis. so my idea is a guy who comes up with great plans that allways have some really obvious flaw that he has not considered. he never tells the party about the details of his plans (they are often in midbattle and seldom if ever actually endanger anyone but himself). anyway, back to the story. we stop out trek through the plains for a mid day meal and are attacked by a purple worm (how is that for bad luck) which after sustaining a great deal of damage retreates back into the ground. i ask the dm wiether or not it left a tunnel or if the ground filled in after it. the dm decides that if he rolls a one, there is a tunnel. he rolls a one and groans. my dwarf hands one end of his 200 ft rope to a strong fighter type and dives into the hole to chase the purple worm. now as you know, this can end only badly for my dwarf in most cases but the dm had another encounter planned for lunch, long story short, the fighter type got snatched by a really big flying lizzard, both he and the dwarf made their strength checks to hold into the rope and my dwarf was ripped from the hole at great speed, being flung 50 ft from the hole, and nearly dying.
