Drunk Duck is still dead. Piss on its grave and shove a garden rake up its sister's nose and twist so hard she has to sneeze sideways! |

My GM once described severe penalties to my constitution from a disease (I forget which) that my character contracted due to a dive into cold water as "a little cough". No further details, no "You feel like absolute s***", just a little cough. Needless to say, when we had an encounter, my guy is suddenly at very low health and only heals for half the amount he should have. |

Not really a grand story, but one time my Swordsage got CON poisoning in battle. Multiple instances of it. Enough to instantly bring his HP into the negative hundreds. Causing him to vaporize into nothing. |

Um, this seems a little OOC for you if I'm not mistaken. What did DD do? |

No, that's what they did to me. |

It is nigh unspeakable, the abhorrent thing Drunk Duck did. They... demanded that I register! Also, making my dog drink that fifth of vodka was bad, too. Also, they kept swiping my ER wallet for booze money. Then they borrowed my chrome for a joyride and crashed it. My poor chrome. It was totaled. I had to do a complete uninstall, and run CCleaner to get the registry bits out before I could reinstall it. The damage was that bad. |

This is actually a really recent story. I am currently playing in a DnD 3.5 campaign with a rather large party. (There's 8 of us, and half of us have cohorts, and we're toting around like 3 or 4 npcs on top of it.) We have a cleric, a psion, and a dragon shaman, all of whom have access to healing, both for HP and for abilty damage. On top of that, we have some assorted magical healing items and a bard. So we're pretty good for healing. |

One of my favorite characters is a paranoid half-elf sorceress who abuses Arcane Disciple horribly - Divine Power's boost up to full BAB is even nicer when you only had 1/2 to begin with, though it takes a few spells to get the survivability for melee, and some feat wastage to wield a Flaming dwarven waraxe or a Shock spell-boosting katana - flaws are wonderful, and so is Chain Spell, to toss up combat buffs quicker. War, Healing, and Storm make for fun domains. She was like a clericzilla with better magic! Call Lightning, Stoneskin, and Divine Power are my favorite opener. Considered dipping actual Cleric to Divine Metamagic Persist some of the buffs, too. |

Stat penalties? Never happened to me personally, but in one campaign, fairly early on, our druid got his CON drained by twelve points by some Shadows. He started at sixteen and ended up with four. |

I once helped to beta test a system where one's ability scores also counted for one's life points. I think it's been done before, but it's a cool idea that I'm using in a system I'm creating. But the interesting thing was that when you took damage, you temporarily lost that same amount from your skill points. Taking damage, or at least enough damage, could seriously hurt your character. It led to some pretty interesting times. |

My FFG 40k characters have a long and illustrious history of taking severe critical damage (and burning almost all of their fate points). Pretty much every one I've ever rolled, no matter the system (Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy, Death Watch, etc.), has been shot in the face by energy weapons and had his Fellowship reduced to 1d10 (in a system where the usual minimum is more like 20-30 and the stat can go as high as 100 or more in certain circumstances). Throw in being blinded and having internal organs destroyed and you have a recipe for crippling penalties. |

Looks like the Drunk Duck site's back up again. Eh... whatever. I left a note. Should be enough.
In other news, there is yet another Pirates of the Caribbean campaign comic. It also has face book page and blog page. Go check it out.
