[QUOTE="ellna, post: 5200185, member: 90655"] I remember the first 3.5 game I ever DM'ed. Right near the start of the campaign there was a dungeon(isn't there always). It was a lovely dungeon full of traps and secrets and a treasure plot hook. All of which the PCs missed opting only to kill there target, loot him and flee at the next sign of danger. Still not bad I thought they did want they went to do. Unfortunatly I had been silly enough to include a "red vial" in the loot. Needless to say this went boom. The party mage pockets it and forgets it exsists. Fast forward to the end of the campaign. The party now facing of to the BBEG a mage of "untold" power. Suitably decked out with magical protection. In his own lair. The party already low on HP from minions see the ends in sight. The main fighter started smashing his sheilding like so many folds of paper. Finally it buckles and the mage is left defencless, but the mage blasts the last of the fighters HP away. Next init in line is the mage who decides to check his sheet and remember that "red vial" still unused and boldly he declares that "he injects the mage with the red vial" Despite the promblems I see I say the DM fall line of "are you sure". Thats not going to stop him the party is on the brink so he rolls the die and low and behold and god-saving 20. What could I do I had grin and bear it as the whole party got covered in the exploding guts of the BBEG. They never did let me forget that one. [/QUOTE]
