You'll never guess what my wizard did...

[CRGreathouse]

...with vampiric touch!

So, a while back I was running (a heavily modified version of) a Necromancer Games adventure, and my players were becoming paranoid. After finding that a certain type of door was always trapped (they weren't, actually; just a few of them) the players decided to use all other means of progressing to other rooms: flying to the tower and going though the window, stone shapeing though the walls, etc.

Finally, though, they came to a door that couldn't be bypassed by any means they posessed. "Well," they said, "it's all up to the wizard now." The entire group, sans wizard, put 18" of stone between themselves and the Room with the Door. The wizard, though at full hit points and near-full spells, insisted that he wasn't powerful enough to directly open the Door -- he'd die from the massive explosion when he knocked it.

"But you're the only one with knock!" they insisted, but to no avail: the wizard refused to cast it. Finally, the fighter stepped up and offered to donate vitality via vampiric touch if the wizard would open the door.

(The best part, incidentally, was that the door didn't blow up at all...)

A wizard in a game I run once used vampiric touch and shared it with her otter familiar, then cast true strike. I allowed it. The Vampiric Otter Of Doom wreaked much havoc.

Isn't it a wonderful spell?

Consider "The Vampiric Otter Of Doom wreaked much havoc."
yoinked for sig purposes.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one with an otter familiar.

It becomes better if you add to the end of it, "...that day, I assure you."
