So, earlier tonight my warforged character was distracting a trio of gnoll guards who were guarding a house that the rest of the party were attempting to get into and steal an important journal from. Well, eventually the group set off an alarm and the gnolls ran to the house hoping to stop the burglars. The party had already escaped by the time they arrived and, hoping to buy them some time to get away, I stayed back and fought the gnolls. They did a fair bit of damage to me and trapped me inside of a net that I was basically hopeless to escape from. Realizing the situation was hopeless. I said "I cry." The DM was quick to point out that warforged can not shed tears. So I said, "I spend an action point to cry." Tears streamed down poor Bob's face as the gnolls reduced it to negative hit points.

That's right, I spent an action point to cry.

Beat that!
