Common sense is only a rule to 50% of the populace.  The rest are free of these boundaries and will gladly show you how to walk on a ceiling without using magic of any kind.  Breathe without air?  Hah!Here are a few of my characters' personal experiences:576. When a character finds out that his wife is missing and someone is bragging about kidnapping her, he won't be angry or upset.  He'll rationally sit down and listen to how the braggart was joking around about it all along.  And besides, what could that assassin who can walk through shadows do about it to begin with?* <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />576 b. If said assassin happens to get angry about such bragging, don't be surprised when he makes sure that everyone in the room is aware of it.  Oh, and whatever happens, be sure to challenge him to a fight to the death while you're at it.  Trained killers hate any situation where they might have to kill something.576 c. Don't forget to insult an assassin, that always helps matters when you've already got him ticked off enough to kill and are trying to talk your way out of a fight.  Go ahead, call him a fool or a peon, it's not like he'll stab you or anything. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />577. When someone learns that their child/adopted child is hurt/killed/missing, and they have little reaction to the news, it's not a sign that they don't care.  It's a sign that they're making a plan to destroy whatever poor sod is responsible for it in the most painful way possible.578. When involved in a tug of war with something the size of a Buick, having a lot of upper body strength can make all the difference.  Unfortunately when that difference is made when your upper body is separated from the lower....579. When a self-destruct item is built into a constructed being, there's no chance that that 100 ft radius blast will catch you when you only got away from it four seconds ago.  Sure, the back of your coat might get a little sooty, but....580. Beware the stitched together lizardman who has been hitting the trollsayer all night.  He's on a full tank and likely in a foul mood....  Wait, he's always in a foul mood.  Just beware the lizard to be on the safe side....581. Nevermind that the little fuzzy blue thing is awkward, falls over, and does backflips for no apparent reason.  Nevermind that it talks funny and has no magical ability of any real merit.  That little blue thing is dangerous. If you're weaker than a normal house fly. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
