[QUOTE="MyPetSlug, post: 213715, member: 4891"] Well, I haven't posted before, but I can't resist. The stupidest thing I've ever done as a player was back in the days of 2e. My Lowly 3rd level mage is wandering through a dungeon with his friends and they enter a room with a table with a crystal ball on it. The DM tells us that the crystal ball starts to glow, and he's thinking, "Ok, crystal ball glows, then explodes sending shards of glass flying that do one point of damage to the characters. Just to scare them". At the same time, me in my infinite wisdom, I think, wow, the crystal ball is glowing. It must be trying to show us something, so I tell the DM "I get as close to the crystal ball possible and look directly into it.” All it was supposed to do is *one* point of damage, just one. This was supposed to be the easiest encounter in the entire dungeon. My mage wore and eye-patch for the rest of the campaign. Lucky he managed to save one. [/QUOTE]
