As a DM, I love to play with the rules quite a bit, especially with magic, and my players always enjoy a little improvisation. One player especially, a Wood Elf Wizard, is constantly drunk and/or high. Well, as you can imagine, casting while under the influence can lead to some pretty wacky stuff. Case in point, the team was taking on a final boss last session, and had gotten the boss down to 1 hp with one lacky (a weaker goblin) left to deal with. Imagine my surprise when the aforementioned player turned to me when it came to her turn and asked, "Can I cast Jolly Rancher on the goblin near the pit?" Of course, the answer was absolutely yeah!
With her drunken (improvised) casting I have a table for her result, and the only way she actually achieves a desirable effect is to roll a nat 20, which is exactly what she rolled. I described how the goblin tried to catch the Jolly Ranchers in his mouth, succeeded, and then choked to death (he had only 1 hp left anyway). Luckily, that totally unfair roll was balanced by another drunk cast in which she tried to dye her hair but ended up cutting half of it off!
