[QUOTE="nameless, post: 2096237, member: 1543"] My DM really hates me for all of the unexpected moments I pull, mostly to kill his BBEG when he is attempting to get away. First was probably when we ambushed a cabal of evil mages lead by a powerful senator of the local parliament. He was wounded and cast gaseous form to escape. We were only level 3 or so, and had no magic weapons yet, but my character had bought an oil of magic weapon earlier that day in case he fought anything too magical. I applied the oil to my bow and killed the mage as he slowly escaped. That kind of messed stuff up. Later, the same character killed an Illithid that was living in the sewers. It was invisible, so he shadow conjured glitterdust and made it visible. He wounded it badly, and as it dimension doored away, it provoked an AoO from the armor blades that weren't easily seen (again, I was holding a bow). One swipe later and you got a dead invisible illithid. And once again, to my DM's dismay, our whole party got captured by the Lord of Blades. He took all of our stuff, but didn't end up putting me in a cage, because he knew that I could escape with magic. So I disguised myself and got some equipment, including a dagger that had special powers against constructs. After the LoB didn't let us go, and was very condescending to boot, I pulled out the dagger and stabbed him in the back. I knew it was risky because he was fully armed and I wasns't, but I figured it was really my only choice. He rolled a natural '1' and was paralyzed, so I drew my keeper's fang weapon and coup de grace'd him. Not only did the LoB die, but I stole his soul and made sure that he'd never be ressurected. I then escaped with all of my friends by magical disguise as the LoB and ordered his guards to destroy the body of the "shapeshifting elf" who just tried to kill him. The guards were good, but no match for my expert bluff and disguise skills. I'm particularly proud of the last one. :-) [/QUOTE]
