"I touch the ceramic cow."
The GM, monopolizing on the insurmountable urge of PCs to touch everything, placed a room that was filled with shelves of magic ceramic cows. Their only function was to explode when touched.
Our monk's "Come get some, a%*@$@#!" earned a lightning bolt from the wizard he was taunting. He dodged-- his brother behind him died from the damage.
Other than that, most of our character deaths are in very bad times. Highly dangerous encounters. My first character died after casting a heal spell on a friendly instead of myself (he still pulped me to -23), and my rogue died, while confused, from alchemist bomb splash damage.
I think my rogue's last words were "hurk!"
"It's only a goblin"
It was, off course, a Nilbog
Wow... Lots of replies, none helpful!! (ok many funny, but they don't answer my original query!!)
Again: In which Magazine can I find this reference to Brak the Barbarian!?
