Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thornir Alekeg" data-source="post: 5230487" data-attributes="member: 15651">Back in 1982, we had recently started what turned out to be a 10 year campaign.  My PC was an AD&D wizard.  The rest of the party was 2nd level except, of course my slow-advancing wizard (2500 XP to 2nd level <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" />).  In one dungeon we encountered a pit we needed to cross.  Our thief was able to climb across, but whenever we threw a rope to get everyone else across, something in the pit cut the rope.  With everyone else too scared to do anything, my wizard lowered herself into the pit and started exploring the bottom of it.  When she had one of her toes sliced off, she found that there was a +1 sword of sharpness in the pit covered with an invisibility spell.  After she pulled the sword from the pit, the rest of the players started fighting over who would get the sword.  It being the first magic item the party had found, the arguement became somewhat heated.  As each PC took the sword, it lept from their hand, inflicting damage upon them.  Only my wizard was able to hold the sword safely.  The DM had decided that with everyone else being too chicken to do anything, the sword had found them unworthy of weilding it and chose my wizard instead.  The DM was even kind enough to allow my wizard to use the sword without the non-weapon proficiency penalty.  It was cool for my wizard, but became a nasty bit of tension in the group for a while, especially since we didn't find another magic weapon until the party was around 4th level.</blockquote>
