[QUOTE="korjik, post: 5746590, member: 56755"] My first one dosent really count as a botch, but the first time I played WEG d6 Star Wars, we ended up getting chased off a planet by a Sith. When we take off on one players ship, I get the wise idea to get in the belly gun and let the Sith have it with the ship-scale laser cannons. Needless to say, the resulting reflected blaster bolts did alot of damage to our ship. So I say: There is no possible way he could do that again. I didnt quite manage to pick myself off, but I got really close. My second one is a true bungle. We were playing GURPS fantasy and I was playing a wizard (Korjik, oddly enough). GURPS uses 3d6 with low results being good. We had gotten on board a flying ship that the enemy army was using as a mobile HQ. We had recovered the artifact we were after when all heck broke loose. I ended up at the ships controls, where the ship's wheel would be on a normal ship, when my personal nemesis showed up and started kicking me all over the place. I got wounded and knocked over, and in desperation I did a Flame Jet spell at max power. I rolled to make the spell: 3! crit success! Time to crispy me a bad buy. I roll to hit: 18!?! I flame jet the ship's controls for max damage! The ship staggered around the sky for a bit before hitting the walls of the city we were defending. We ended up getting away, but only just barely. My third was D&D. I was running the game, and my players had gone waaay off the reservation on what I had planned. They decided to scout out the bad guy army by disguising themselves as wandering entertainers and offering to entertain the troops. They talk there way in, then have to do their show. I have them do a skill challenge for the show, with them describing what they want to do to entertain. The 2 weapon fighter and the 2 weapon rogue decide they will do a display of swordfighting. The Fighter rolls a 1! The rogue rolls a 1! The Bard does a quick bluff check to cover for the fumbling display: Natural 20! The fighter and the rogue were now the clowns of the show, and rolled quite well in that roll for the rest of the challenge. They also roleplayed it really well, and used the amusment factor to cover for themselves when they were wandering the camp later. [/QUOTE]
