I have seen threads where people encountered him in the chamber where the Shadow Dragon resides, and they were in a fix, because casting any hostile spells would have... awaken the Dragon. Then there is the uber mass scrumm. Your party has a reputation below 4, and you have just slaughtered the knights in Windspear Hills. You enter the Bridge District at night, hoping to take a rest at the Five Flagon's Inn. Upon your entrance a squad of Amish Guards and Cowled Enforcers call out to you, "Your villiany ends here now!" Tired from your previous encounter, you decide to leg it and go further into the district where you meet several Paladins who cry out, "For our fallen comrades, have at thee!" Starting to panic you blindly stumble forward and... get mugged. "Your money or your life!" sneers one of the muggers. Not caring at the moment, you try to run pass them and bump into Jaheria's Harper friends, "Jaheira! The buck stops here now!" At this point, it feels as though the whole world is against you, and it's true, because who should come out of the shadows but three vampires? "Joining the Shadow Thieves has sealed your fate foolish one!" Screaming like a girl dangling over a pit of giant spiders now, you try to dash towards the entrance of the inn, but who should be barring the doorway but a Mage from Thay? "Hand over Edwin now... or there shall be trouble." You start to laugh maniacally and decide that if you had to die, you shall die with fire and brimstone burning all around you. You cast a Magic Missile and... a group of Cowled Wizards teleport in. "You have defied us for the last time! Prepare to meet our highest order!" The situation is hopeless. Boo is squealing in fear within some crevice in Minsc's armour. Edwin has less spell slots than there are enemies. Jaheira cannot possibly have enough Ironskins to deflect all the blows. And you... you decide that there is only one way to remedy the solution. Power Word: Reload.

That has got to have an ill effect on the PC's mental state...
