[Lonely Tylenol]

[Asmotherion]

Many actually.

-Usurping Asmodeus' Divine Spark and Godhood with a Fiend Patron Warlock whose patron was no other than Asmodeus Himself.

-In a DBZ campain, after a lot of intimidating threads, when Freeza revealed his final form, my character enlarged himself and stombed him with his foot. Freeza ended up dieing of massive damage as the attack was a critical. 3.5, and we were using rules for damage from large objects.

-Using telekinesis to wield a +3 Quorterstaff made for Giants, that a Storm Giant willingly gave to me when I told him why I wanted it, and proceeding to batting Tiamat to death with it.

-Hitting a giant that was trying to jump on us from a cliff with Eldritch Blast as a reaction due to the War Caster Feat, the moment he was within 5 feet of me, and (being 18 level at the time) sending him 40 feet away and preventing him from crushing us.

-Manipulating the BBEG into thinking he was manipulating us to steal an artifact from a catacomb by "suggesting" to him with metamagic "subtle spell" and my Old One patron's Telepathy to try to deceve us into doing exactly what we wanted to do. We all succeeded our deception checks to have him believe we thought he was the good guy. He was so surprised that we were one step ahead of him when we destroyed the artifact instead of giving it to him. We knew he was the BBEG by interogating a subordinate of his via Detect Thoughts.

Seducing my evil half-brother's mistress and tricking her into revealing his master plan.

Then telling him about it.

[Spellbreaker26]

my least triumphant moment was when i cast sleep and accidentally destroyed the campaign

I swear Sleep is a spell that never really works for my group, when we cast it it always seems to backfire.

[Cybren]

I swear Sleep is a spell that never really works for my group, when we cast it it always seems to backfire.
This was in 4E, and the DM really wanted to use skill challenges to do a footrace. So I said "I cast sleep" and he blew a fuse. We refer to that event as "the sundering", as the campaign ended and i never played games with them again (well, collectively. I still play with some of the players in other contexts)
