Message: <blockquote data-quote="Flexor the Mighty!" data-source="post: 2579775" data-attributes="member: 1013">Let me tell you of the demise of the Mighty Flexor.  Flexor was a character in an old 1e game years back.  He was a fighter, and the only character I ever created that I rolled an 18/100 strength for.  I was pumped and created a fighter with delusions of grandeur who thought he was Heracles, and wouldn't use strength enhancing stuff due to his idea that he didn't need any.  He was fun to play and would often get in over his head due to his inflated view of himself.  He had an idea that he would transcend mortality upon death and become a god of might.  He was a bit off in that regard, and in a few others.  Anyway, one adventure the Thief-MU said he was going to cast a protection spell on Flexor.  Flexor says sure.  The DM says so you aren't going to try to resist or anything, I should have known something was up then.  Anyway it was a charm person and I didn't save since I wasn't trying to and now I was charmed for a month before he could even try another save since he only had a 9 INT.   The player and the DM did thier little girly giggles and told Flexor that he was giving his best stuff to the thief since they were such great friends and the Thief really needed it...and I got up from the table, told them both to go F themselves and quit playing.  That was the end of that group and the last time I ever played my favorite character.  Actually that was one of the last times I played, I've pretty much been a DM since that point.  If one of the players in my current game, or any game I'm running, tries to pulls such antics to try and have fun by destroying someone else's fun I'll make sure the character in question is killed in the next fight and after the session tell the player to find another game.  If the players worked it out before hand that they were all good with such antics I'd probably feel differently, but IME it never works out that way.  Not only with Flexor but with any other situation where the players decided to start fighting each other to show who is toughest, who gets the magic sword since the attacking player lost the die roll for it, etc.  But we aren't trying to explore character concepts when we play, it's mainly and action/adventure thing.</blockquote>
