Victoria Rules
Some of these have already been hit, but they're my tried and true player-awakeners:
"Character sheet, please."
"What *were* you at?" (always in reference to hit points)
"Watch list, please."
"What is your armour class and how does it get there?"
"Very good. You all need saving throws."
"Your spell went wild*. Roll percentage." (* - or "your item blew up")
And the most common, simplest, and old-schoolest of them all:
"Six-sided!"
