[QUOTE="Tewligan, post: 258805, member: 2191"] 1. "To The Books!" Called out in a dramatic "To the Batmobile!" voice when a rule is questioned and everyone simultaneously reaches for their books and races to be first with the answer. 2. The Pat Hat Named after a former player who was notorious for doing stupid things that endangered himself and/or the party, the Pat Hat is a conical dunce-style hat made out of brown paper, festooned with stars and the words "Pat Hat." Doing something dangerously stupid during a game has been known to provoke other players into chanting "Pat Hat! Pat Hat!" until the offender puts on the hat, occasionally with a photograph to commemorate the wearing. I wear the Pat Hat more than I care to think about... 3. "No, I Don't" When we played in college years ago, I got in the habit of saying "No, I don't" when the DM told me I took damage, had to make a saving throw, or anything else that meant pain was in my character's immediate future. The DM would automatically say "Yes, you do", I'd say okay, and we'd move on. One summer, a couple of us went to a small local con and played in a game together with a DM and some other players we didn't know. At one point, the DM told me I had to make a save vs. poison, to which I said "No, I don't." He gave me a baffled look, looked over my character sheet in search of some power or item he had forgotten about, and said in an uncertain voice "Yes, you do." "Oh, okay" I said, and on we went.
