[QUOTE="Fractal Rabbit, post: 6768661, member: 6805326"] I can hear the DM's cackle of glee from here... Regarding kobolds, I was once in a group whose DM played kobolds as if they were the Viet Cong. I remember a 5th level Paladin (2E, wearing full plate) failing a save and being held (but not crushed) under an enormous piece of tree that swung down on him. He was only pinned. But, it happened in one foot of water so he drowned. He may have survived had he stayed with the group (and the thief who was earning his pay checking for traps) but the Paladin, being played to the hilt (har har har...) didn't want anything to do with him. So he left him behind.* Good times. Good times. *Off topic, but the guy who played the Paladin was kind of a d-bag. He was one of those players that once he heard the other PC was a thief, kept making a big deal out of it ("I would never sully myself consorting with the likes of you, thief!"). The only problem was, the DM allowed the old 2nd Edition Kits, and so the other PC was only technically a thief. His Kit was something like a MacGyver/Investigator (I don't quite remember the name of the kit) and his alignment was NG and he didn't actually steal stuff. Guy was a d!@&. [/QUOTE]
