I'm sure I can come up with a few more results for failed Powers Checks when I spend a little time thinking of some. That fighter is just screaming to become a vampire or some form of ghoul though ;) That's what I thought, but decided a vampire/vampire spawn was too cliched, maybe a unique form of ...

Powers Checks

My PC's have something of a knack for failing powers tests, and with characters who do evil deeds out of hand (like the wizard who snuck into the wine cellar of a rival's mansion, left a Delayed Fireball there then split, causing the house, the rival and the three dozen or so innocent party-goers to...
