** In the prequel book ''On the Origin of [=PCs=]", the party epically fails in its very first round of combat as a unified party, against a group of kobolds. We see the characters' thoughts as they prepare actions: [[ASimplePlan Belkar prepares an action to charge the first kobold to get close, Haley prepares an action to attack the first creature that charges, Elan prepares an action to flank attack the first wounded creature, and Vaarsuvius prepares an action to Lightning Bolt the first 4 creatures that line up toward him]]. Belkar starts by charging a kobold (who declined to charge to avoid an AC penalty; Belkar misses his attack). Haley attacks him (as he was the first to charge) and hits; Elan flanks him and attacks (as Belkar was the first to be wounded); and V promptly nukes all 3 and the kobold with a Lightning Bolt (as they were lined up).

** The reason Jim's characters aren't allowed lightsabers after his time playing Kyle Katarn. As part of his backstory, Kyle sliced off one of his hands. Then the GM told Jim to make the backstory consistent with a character [[TheDitz Jim]] would play, so Jim upped this to slicing off ''both'' his legs.
** Jim's characters have a tendency to die frequently anyway (Qui-Gon, Padmé, Kyle), but the Episode VII adaptation takes it to staggering heights when Poe goes missing, and Jim's replacement new character is blown up before Pete and Annie could even meet him. The GM lets him bring back Han simply because of all Jim's characters he was the most ''alive'' (and given what happens to Han later on...) It's noted the only way Jim could've had worse luck is if dying had been one of the options while rolling up a character.
