    Best player stupidity was in ADnD. One of my players was an old fashioned assassin (Back in the day when they had a chart for death strike succeeding as a flat percent chance.

    The assassin snuck into a cave. I told him he came upon a sleeping owlbear. He says he's going assassinate it. I remind him that he has a very very low chance of killing it with one shot. He says 'no problem'. I take my shot. He pulls off a 01% on his roll and kills it and says 'i'm going to search it's pockets'. I tell him it doesnt have pockets, it's an owlbear. He was thinking it was a bugbear (2 hd, good chance of getting killed from the backstab damage even if the assassination roll failed) He cuts off the head and wears it like a hat for the rest of the campaign (a la Belkar and the kobold)

    Big difference 2 hd Bugbear vs 8 HD party killing owlbear that was supposed to get avoided.

    Good times.
