Bizarre Uses of Magic in D&D

Post by Iceberg »

What are some of the weirdest (not necessarily useful, either!) uses of canonical D&D magic spells you've seen in games?

I'll start with:

A Suneite cleric (Forgotten Realms) using Hero's Feast to create a cheesecake bar.

Using disintigrate on support colums to kill the damn Pk'er. He loved being a backstabber. Now he's just mush. To qoute: "DM:You notice the sorcerer begin to cast a spell. PK: Oh hes just getting Mage armor up. DM: Wrong you now notice, too late, that spell was a disintigrate spell. It collapses the support columns causing the roof of the building to collapse upon you. You die. PK: Don't I get a saving throw. DM: Sure....... DC 100,000" That was awesome.

I was a mage, and was trnsported through a tempoal rift into the future...when the Gov Gunships(repulsorcraft) where chasing us on our dragon ally, I used Tensers floating disk and took out the gunner(I was out of spells, but had a skill called "channel magic" which enbled me to cast spells I had not prepared , or didnt have spell slots for) I had an idea, and cast Tensers floating Disk in front of the gunship, the impact of the disk(a planar section) hitting the quickly moving gunboat acted like a monofiliment(sp) and sliced through the gunboat damaging the engines, injuring the pilot, and killing the gunners :twisted:

Guy playing a mage. He'd never played one before. 10' wide hallway 20' long. HE'S BLINDED. "I'm going to cast fireball" We explained for TWENTY MINUTES that it wouldn't work. He kept insisting "I"m going to cast fireball". So, we let him. Half the party is on the floor unconscious.

Let's see....

A delayed Enlarge on something the victim just ate.

Gate as a means of a porta-potty.

Time Stop for those intimate moments with the King's Daughter.

The joys of erotic illusions and their effect on stupid guardsmen.

A Netherese group did that on their hair, apparantly.

It's a religion thing, I think.

Cunning use of invisibility plus a wonderful portable hole.....

Turning a very quiet ranger invisible, getting the other ranger to stand in the hole with a box so he can see out when he needs to....the other ranger snuck towards the enemies carrying the hole, refreshing the air every few minutes.....he'd either lay the hole at a good sniping spot and step back or lay it beside a bandit and let the other ranger pull them in by thier ankles and mug them......

Also fun was when we deliberately filled the hole with water and then put it behind people, pushed them in and let them drown....

I still say The Demiplane Of Elemental Chocolate is high on the list.

I shall simply explain it such: Pregnant Sorceress With Cravings.

And elves are pregnant for two years... Well, I'll just say that when she wanted chocolate, you didn't say no. Those who did got a Meteor Swarm rammed up their asses.

I know the building a Chest with temporal stasis on all contents while the chest is closed. now putting a portable hole in the bottom of the chest. Put a bag of holding on the top.

Close chest.

now leave chest in any dungeon. Someone is going to come around and eventually open up the chest creating a microsecond black hole killing everything within 90' of the chest when it's opened.
