I dunno. Just wanted to say that. You thought up a trap. I wrote up a history of a magical item. They were related, in a general kind of way. Plus, it was a great way to mention the item history without sounding like I was bragging about it. -Frisk
Players kill players because they do stupid things.
Thats what my old GM used to say. He never would go out of his way to kill anyone, but if you were stupid.. I mean 'brave' enough to stick around and fight all 50 orks, giants, and ogres, you were more than welcome to.
But then again, we used to do some stupid... I mean 'brave' things in our games too. Heh. Amazingly, some times we ACTUALLY lived through it. Although... probably my happiest gaming moment promptly was followed up by my unhappiest gaming moment ever.
Half Elven fighter/mage gets his sword (which was intelligent, but only slightly, and it didn't even do anything to show it was) back, after it melded with two 'EVIL'(tm) magical swords. Upon touching it, my character pretty much got ahold of a REALLY powerful magical sword. But, it sort of messed up how he looked, by making his eyes go all white, even though he could see. Party freaks, and one finds a wand of negation in their pouchs, and uses it. My character then prompty fell over dead. The sword and the character sort of were sharing a soul connection, when they touched, and with the magic negation... PIFF.. no connection. GAH... Nothing quite like letting the party freak out and kill you on mistake. Whoops.
The players dont *have* to go down the hallway laden with all those lethal traps, fight the really big baddies just to get those super cool goodies you put back there. So why are they complaining when it turns out to be so darn tough? After all, those are really super cool goodies back there. Can't just let them have them without some kind of struggle. -Frisk
Or as what was tradition in my old gaming group whenever we are about to do something questionably stupid, we all chant together: "Yes, I (state name), will follow the vampire lord down the DEEP... DARK... LONELY... GARBAGE STREWN.... ISOLATED.... ERIEE.... ALLEY....."
'Could use one of my old traps. Let there be some super strong sword or whatever, and when they get close Have everyone turned into the opposite gender, and a charm spell cast on all party memebers..
Or perhaps thats tooooo evil.. 'last time that happend, things got messy.
