[QUOTE="darjr, post: 8556906, member: 52905"] True story I was playing the role of the wandering monster at NukeCon a local convention. I wondered over to a tier 4 table with six 20th level characters. They were in a bad way. Three of six were standing and all had single digit HP. As the WM I had several options but they had triggered the worst of them so I dumped on them. In my defense I usually play high level games on hard mode and I knew these players and their characters. Tough and bristling with magic items. I killed three of them, dead dead, and dropped the mage to a single HP. The player, for the first time ever in her long history of playing D&D, cast wish to bring everyone back. The scramble to get the wording just right was a sight. She cast it, the DM strictly interpreted it and she mostly got what she wanted. And then she burnt out the ability to EVER cast wish again. Ooof. That was a blast, the whole weekend was. [/QUOTE]
