It’s like some hilarious half-baked plan at my DnD table.
Mage: I know, I’ll use the magic item I found to attack the Lich! DM: The one that you found in the Lich’s crypt? Mage: Yes. DM: The one with the backstory about how the Lich made it himself? Mage: Uh-huh. DM: The one where he spent three centuries researching and crafting it to dominate the world of the living? The one that has the inscription: “For the master’s tool will never dismantle the master’s house.” Mage: … oh. DM: Yeah… Mage: I’m in danger.
