100 Ways to Die

I just had my weirdest death ever.

Struck down by lightning. Yep. Was fighting in a rainstorm and was already injured by a previous battle and Talos kinda looked down and gave me the finger.

Tell me about your favorite deaths in game. Doesn't need to be the main character but should be ironic or funny in some way.

    :D yeah, that happens. It hilarious. I've never actually been killed by it though, or even damaged. I think Khalid got hit in vanilla, but it did little or no damage then.

    Forgot to check for traps in the sewers below the Copper Coronet and got petrified by the trap on the bridge across the big sewer.

    Then there was also the time when I foolishly decided to rely on Minsc's berserk ability. He went berserk on my poor Charname. (Many years ago; I learned real fast not to use his berserk state except in rare circumstances.)

    Charm spell runs out on my fighter but i end up still attacking/killing my mage due to cut scene animation..... The Black pits i think it was. Oh and that large boulder from IWD2..... >:(

    Traps. Confusion and similar effects, especially when they affect the npc i use for dispel, too (which means my own party killing me by accident upon loss of control of character). Lightning Bolts in confined places. Greater Basilisks (i do not always remember to carry those pots, or memorize the protection from petrification)... Tethtoril if i attack him. Gorion if i attack him. Marek's poison, the first time i ever reached Baldur's Gate (and did not pay any attention to quests at all). Degrodel's guards, the first time i decided to do the quest (all other times, i simply pickpocketed the concubine for cloak and lockpick the inn's portrait for the helm).

    And my most hated ever, the phasing spiders. When they teleport right behind my thief and mage, and bit them with that deadly poison; in mere seconds, without me being able to do ANYTHING (don't have time), they always die on me. This is doubly annoying, down there in cloakwood, where the resting places of these spiders conceal web-launching traps!

    Flying cows sure are a deadly threat nowadays. Especially when travelling together with some elf... or was it half-elf? Those pointy ears all look the same to me.

    Dying by lightening is really irritating, especially when your game has a bug. How else can lightning nuke Minsc five times in five rounds.

    That's probably the 'Call Lightning' Druidic Spell ;)
    (No joke, it works that way).

    I one accidentally got the bottle of strangle stuff you find in the mines mixed up with a bottle of antidote. After a nip from a spider, I swallowed the wrong one - an instant kill for a low HP mage!

    I, too, did this. I was six years old though, so I think I can forgive myself. ;)

    Got turned into a werewolf. No, it's not technically death, but still...

    I ran an unpatched game, and a memory bug happened when I returned from the island and entered Mendas' house. Mendas was so angry with me, he turned into infinity wolfweres! Several spawned each round. I decided that killing just one of them would probably cure me from lycantrophy. It didn't.

    You can actually turn into a werewolf if you put it off for too long? I didn't know that.
