[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 2415625, member: 22882"] One while I was DMing: [B]Character A[/B] has just been grappled, hit for more than his hp in subdual damage, and informed by the attacker that he's being left alive to be taken prisoner. He wakes up in time to see [B]Character B[/B] (a much more powerful combatant) go down hard in combat with the four attackers. Two of those attackers, carrying reach weapons, are within 10 ft. of him. It's Character A's turn. His player announces, "I'm grabbing my swords and getting up." :eek: And one with me as a player. Erm. As THE player in question :o It's a Champions game. My character, an apparent non-super (who actually has luck-based powers but doesn't fully realize it) is the team's field commander and pilot for our superplane. And, in this case, mind controlled into firing the latter's weapons at another PC hero. The chain gun doesn't get the job done. Me: Do I have to switch to the missiles since I can see this isn't effective? GM: Roll. - He sees the roll - GM: No, you don't have to. Me: She didn't say I couldn't hit her, too... I'm switching to the missiles. Maybe I can get them both. Result: One destroyed college building, one dead PC, two possibly dead villains, three PCs buried under multiple tons of rubble, and a crashed superplane. The best part, though, was yet to come. One of the trapped PCs (who suffered 0 body damage from either the missile or the building :confused: ) radios me, "Fire another missile to clear the rubble!" [/QUOTE]
