I need a +8 dex item just to keep me from accidentally killing myself

In the latest installment of "How the hell did you manage to do that, Kelly?!":

At work, I was sitting in my rolly chair and decided to pick up a couple of books lying on the floor. Somehow, I managed to lose my balance and, almost in slow-motion, the chair toppled over. I hit my butt and bent my neck on the way down, then sprawled on the floor for a moment reflecting on how lucky I felt to have not snapped my neck.

Oh, and this made a horrific crash that brought my boss running. The insult-to-injury part, as I had to attempt to explain what happened. Luckily, I think he's used to me tripping over my own feet by now.

I should have an awesome bruise on my ass. NO, I will not post pictures of it.

Oh, and I followed all this with the Great Printer Malfunction of Monday. Dammit, it's been Monday all daaaaaaaaaaay.

Most of my falls tend to be of the "I cannot be arsed to stand anymore" variety. Usually if I'm laughing uncontrollably, I'll just flop onto the floor. That being of a more controlled descent, it does not usually lend itself to sustained damage, so I'm sorry for your bruised ass.

4 on a d20,Kelly fails to save against falling on her ass. Roll for damage!
