So in my current campaign, one of my party members is a gnome who has convinced a group of orcs to work for him, then built up a mercenary company under him.
Well, said gnome pulled from the Deck of Many Things several times. The last time, the entire party WOULD have been destroyed. But the DM decided to do something else. We all got transported to the Plane of Chaos and our races changed and we all leveled in a random prestige class (luckily, my character was built around the templates he had and I kept those). Said gnome changed to a pixie. My base race went from a LA 0 dwarf, to a LA 3 deep gnome, with the LA waived.
So now when we go back, I can use my Alter Self SLA to look like "Little King" (the gnome's nickname given to him by the orcs) and take over the mercenary company! (something like 15 level 8 barbarian/1 paladin orcs and another 85 level 5 characters, 1 level 15 older character who only trains and disciplines the company, with an orphanage and all making a considerable income)
And this is stealing this out from under the nose of a gnome who could, and routinely would, lie himself out of every situation, or into it, even if he did not have to.
