* Given that Timuscor, Timanuel, and the initial, and dead, paladin from the first book, were all created by Tim, does this make them siblings, with Tim being their Father? What about other Player Characters that share the same Creator?

Those last two examples that I put in Fridge Brilliance were once under Fridge Logic, which is for stuff that doesn't make sense after you think about it, when they were examples of Fridge Brilliance, i.e. things which when thought about more come across as clever or brilliant.

\n* Cheri telling her summoned panther to dissipate after it lead the enemy sentry away in ''Siege Tactics'', as she had learned that the [=NPCs=] were real people. Even if she wasn't sure if the panther was also as real, she still didn't want it to deal with any undue suffering.
* Eric learning how to use a crossbow to make up for his group's lack of ranged capabilities. In Real Life, it is easier to master the use of a crossbow, and one can get reasonably good with it within a month, unlike a longbow, which requires a certain amount of strength, and can take a year if not longer to get good with.

Up To Eleven is being dewicked.


** Depending upon one's play style, the Horror Factor could be taken UpToEleven if your group just murdered and killed their way across the world before discovering the truth.

** From the opposite end, imagine defending yourself from an aggressive attacker, giving them a minor flesh would, only to find out that you'd injured some youth from another world, who had only thought that this was just a game.

\n* Imagine playing an RPG, only for your GM to get possessed by some NPC, and now you, and your party, need to negotiate with that character in order to free your real-life friend from their control.
**Best hope that the NPC is also one of the Good Guys and not the BBEG. Trying to convince a Hero that you don't mean any harm is one thing, but dealing with a Villain, that might make things extra difficult.

\n* The number of times a "Critical Failure" occurs -- on many d20s, the 1 is near numbers like 14, 15, 17, and 19, which, depending upon Modifiers and Proficiency Bonuses, are almost guaranteed successes. But, just a nudge further, and you get a 1, which can mean a Failure in many cases.




** Added Horror if you don't know if you were Good or Evil, a Hero or a Murderer.
