Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 1960937" data-attributes="member: 99">Wasn't me but one of my players.The party had interrupted a scene where an immortal, indestructable (except by powerful magic) demigod was drawing immense amounts of power from an artifact.  Most of the party launched a brief series of attacks at this woman who laughed them off and kept sucking in the power.  Then one of the players said, "I step into the stream of power."At this point the rest of the party moved to prevent her from bodily removing the player from the power stream, even as she tried to pull more and more power from the artifact.  They were successful but each round the PC in the power stream was taking a series of punishing Criticals (This was Rolemaster and these were Level E Essence Crits: Nasty!).  But through tremendous luck and spending some "fate points", he held out for half a dozen rounds, taking horrific damage in the process.In the end, his physical form just couldn't take it any longer and he just burned away.  That was when all the energy she had been trying to pull surged through the conduit at once and it was HER turn to take the Essence Crits.  She wasn't so lucky (though I did use every resource she had) and the magic melted her form into that of a boneless, amorphous blob.  She was, unfortunately for her, still immortal and indestructable, consigned to eternity in her current form.The PC who sacrificed himself (a Cleric of Light) was made a saint in his religion.  I still regard this as one of the best moments in our group's gaming history.</blockquote>
