Stabbing is the best medicine

So, following our encounter with Radosek and his wonderful goat master, our Male Human Gunslinger and Female Human Barbarian were both blinded. During the search of the tower we came across the Ring of Regeneration that was actually the curse Ring of Lifebleed. Since I had previously read the AP before playing in it, I don't say anything.

So, the Barbarian's player, deciding to be clever, looks up how the regeneration spell works and finds out that it can regrow eyes. Believing that the curse is on the characters eyes specifically, he develops a plan. Specifically, he will have his character stab her own eyes out.

So his character places the ring on her finger and stabs her own eyes out, in front of the entire party. The character then proceeded to take 7 points of bleed damage and found herself now without eyes. The big kicker is that, as both I and the DM said, this wouldn't have actually worked even if the ring was actually a Ring of Regeneration, since her eyes weren't damaged, rather the entire character was cursed.

So in summary, a plan that wouldn't work based on incomplete information causes a character to loose her eyes.


Ouch!

Only a little bit of information can be a dangerous thing ...
