Me, right after my invisible, high-level fighter/mage/thief with a magical weapon tries to backstab an oblivious orog:
5% of failure, actually, should be adjusted for high-level characters... i think in later d&d versions they modified this behaviour with specific talents.
It is a question about moral values, not about game theory. That is why the genie does not give a choice to survive for both, like in the original dilemma.
Precisely.
As a matter of fact, the Nash equilibria in pure strategies are given by (death, freedom), (freedom, death) and (death, death). Therefore, both answers ("press" and "not press") make sense for Nash (in other words: no strategy is strictly dominated in this case )
Fun fact: I've recently found out that in KOTOR 1 you're asked to solve the Prisoner's Dilemma when you're on Kashyyyk: it's easy to say that the correct answer is (2,2) after studying Noncooperative Games: "confess" is a strictly dominant strategy for both players
Tired of working to prevent dungeon fires? Make the fire work for you with a Fire Dungeon!
With lava on the floors, fire immune monsters everywhere, and even monsters that attack with fire, a Fire Dungeon will be sure to scorch any invaders. Available in stone and metal themes.
Just watch out for fireproof adventurers...

The "Fire Lich" is mod content, added by the popular AI/difficulty improvement mod Sword Coast Stratagems. Basically, it's a lich that likes throwing high-level fire spells at you. Meteor Swarm, Incendiary Cloud, Delayed Blast Fireball...
My party was sufficiently fireproof to ignore all that and keep attacking until it ran out of combat defense spells.

When you keep using "stone to flesh" scrolls to turn statues into people again and you piss off the pigeons of the Sword coast because you keep vandalizing their favorite places to stand.
... And they have a meeting and summon a barghest to get revenge on you.

I felt an urgent need to create some Abyss Memes.
Does that even make sense?
Jaime Lannister would have given the thumbs up to the third guy.
Because even monsters can have enviromental conscience.
Goblin: "But what about the Druid with her Flaming Sphere? Or the Cleric with Flame Strike?"
*Bugbear kills Goblin*
Bugbear: No backtalking!
Just kill the higher level wizard first
Bugbears are chaotic evil, i don't think they care about the enviroment.
Even chaotic evil being don't like being burned alive

I was thinking the same thing.
My party was sufficiently fireproof to ignore all that and keep attacking until it ran out of combat defense spells.
So it's like a Bright Wizard from Warhammer?
*Shudders*

Somebody should make a mod of this.
That's just a justification for restartitis!
