You get to say perceptive things like "I dunno whut dat word wuz dat you jus' sed, but I don't think you do neither..." and complain often over the lack of fresh biscuits. /boring anecdote My favorite scene with my Slingblade-talking half-orc Monk, who was quite young and naive, was during an encounter with Centaurs who leapt out onto the road to challenge us all bristling with menace and bows and whatnot, my monk wins initiative... "Waaagghhh! We gots da help dat man mmm-hmmm cuz dat horse done half-ate 'im!". I then proceeded to take the centaur gently by the wrist and try to pull him out of the horse-beast, the whole time the (1st time) GM is sitting there dumbfounded as my character made soothing noises and promises of imminent release. Yes, stupid I know, but it was fun. As the centaur (and the GM) recovered from his initial shock and started berating me to let him go (I think he was trying to intimidate us and press the importance of the events we were stumbling into, or sell us Amway. My character couldnt tell), I just kept patting him on the head and saying things like "Don' worry sir, I'd be all upset if dat horse beast done half-swallered me too, mmm-hmm", and trying to pull them apart. Also, the joy of improved grapple in 3.5 D&D made it so that he could literally wrestle a horse and unless the horse knew what it was doing, it might just get hog-tied <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> /boring anecdote off Hear hear! I second that!  I'd read more if only the Universe would write it mumble mumble grumble whine <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
