Okay, this thread is about times when something happened in-game, and you only came up with the perfect solution afterwards. Of course, had you known what was gonna happen, you could've solved it easily, right?
My example:
It was my first time with a new group, and I made a cleric. Should've made a wizard, but I didn't know what kinds of crap we'd be up against.
My first mission with this new group was to hunt down and kill Malar, the Realms' god of lycanthropes.
Keep in mind, this was a (woefully underequipped) ECL 16 group against a frakkin' god.
Had I known, I would've researched glibness on character creation, and set up the following:
A quick bit of research on Malar (along with moment of prescience and some other bonuses) would've given me its number of Hit Dice, as well as other beneficial info to know. Then, procure a gem of decent quality, and with a moment of prescience'd Craft check and fabricate, I would've turned it into a VERY valuable crafted gem, to look like a beautiful (but savage) statue of Malar himself. Very valuable. So valuable, in fact, that it would've sufficed for the trap the soul spell.
Upon the fateful meeting with Malar, and one moment of prescience and Quickened glibness spell later, and I'd have a suitable sacrifice for the goodly gods of the party's paladin.
Which would've been awesome. Except I never got the chance. :smallannoyed:
So, regale me with your tails of what-could-have-been.
