[QUOTE="Samnell, post: 6421, member: 130"] This is from my story hour (link in sig) I used to have a player who could be a real pain. Anything that didn't work out exactly like he wanted caused him to throw a fit. It drove me nuts. He gets into this big argument with the party rogue, who had killed this paladin the first PC befriended the night before. The first PC (Jaryth) couldn't prove that the rogue (Burble) did it, and without proof the rest of the party wasn't ready to turn against one of its own. Nevermind that this is the same rogue who became pals with a certain kobold... Anyway they're standing at the edge of this ravine arguing, and Jaryth is fed up. So he decides he's going to show off his psionic powers and jump off the edge of the ravine manifesting catfall. A player in one of my other games says that one of the things I never do is tell a player when he has a bad idea, and I guess that's true. Jaryth's player thought catfall was a direct conversion of feather fall into psionics. He landed on his feet, but broke both his legs and collapsed to the ground, nearly splitting his skull open. The rogue came down and healed him, but Jaryth only started the fight back up again, making enough noise to draw a pack of dire rats down on them. EDIT: The rogue had a level of cleric too. [/QUOTE]
