I feel a little guilty being this glib on a serious post, but I can't resist:
Player: “Georg The Unfortunate, in a moment of clarity that breaks through his addled brain-fog, realizes that he simply sucks too much to live. He’ll never amount to anything and he’ll always be miserable and it would just be best if he’d never been born. In a fit of despair or perhaps mercy he kills himself.”
DM: "Okay, good luck with that. Roll for dexterity".
Player: [rolls very low number]
DM: "Georg fumbles the knife, which drops out of his hands before he can do himself any injury. He is fated to survive, for now."
