[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 7662, member: 317"] Well, here are a couple of really stupid instancs that have occurred over the years. 1. I once had a really dumb player try to steal a halberd out of a weaponsmith's shop with his GNOME character- said he would slip it under his cloak. I asked if he knew what a halberd was, and knew what his size was- he went ahead with it, and the shopkeep took it away and beat him over the head with the haft until the guard came. th rest of the PCs stood by and watched, either too stupified with what he did or laughing too hard to try and rescue him. 2. While running the original Ravenloft advnture with 10 (:confused: ) players, one of the characters came up with th bright plan of luring Strahd into a trap without telling the other PCs. His plan? Walk up to Strahd, slap him in the face, and take off running like a little girl, returning to the party so they could all "gank" him together when he wasn't expecting it. Funny, no one remembered vampires can go ethereal. :p 3. Ok, in this last one, the guy wasn't stupid, but his character was, and he was a pyro. He was playing a thief (2nd ed) and was trying to burglarize a house to retrieve a priceless art object for his guild. He climbed up to a window, only to find it locked. Examining the window closely, he found the glass was held in place by a wooden frame. Thinking quickly, "wood burns, so I will burn the supports out of the window", he lit the frame, followed by the curtains, the ceiling of the house, and in short order had a nice housefire going. He fell off the house, broke his leg, and barely made it away before the house collapsed and the guard came. The guild wasn't too happy about the loss of the art object either. [/QUOTE]
