AD&D campaign I played, we were low level, had just escaped an invading army, and spent weeks skirting encampments and such to be nearly clear of their lines. We stumble into a patrol that was looking for us, and is accompanied by a big bad guy (I was never clear on whether he was the BBEG or merely the really bad-*** lieutenant that was a buffer for the super-overpowering BBEG in charge) who was basically running the army. They'd gotten some scout reports on our whereabouts, and so the bad guy had come along to gloat at us in person.We desperately fought off his horde of underlings with some clever spellage (was ensnare a 2nd ed spell? If so, that's probably what it was), and he immobilized us in order to laugh and make a getaway. I, playing a ranger, decided I was sick of his laughing and taunting. I told our DM "I want to do a called shot to his eye. I'm using the +2 arrow we stole from that encampment we snuck through to get across the bridge." He gave me a penalty to hit and told me to roll. I critted.Normally, I don't gloat over screwing up a DM. But wow, the look on his face as he put his head in his hands and went "That's gotta kill him. Anything less and I could hand wave it away. But I'll be damned if you're getting xp for that. I'm not letting you level like 4 times off one die roll." was just .. unforgettable.</blockquote>
