Some of you may recall my previous thread on this subject...

I work retail in an electronics department, and every now and then I try to see how many D&D terms I can slip into regular sales conversations with customers without them noticing. Today, since the 5th Edition PHB was out, I decided to give it a go once more.

Here's a list of the terms I managed to use:

clockwork constructs
arcane
diminutive
Time Stop
vorpal sword
dexterity
secret compartment
power source
thieves' tools
durability
lightning damage (yes, really!)
aquatic creatures
dopplegangers
wizard
sorcery
Globe of Invulnerability (this one was fun)
slashing
reach
leather armor
advantage / disadvantage (these two were on the same customer)
wisdom
strength
intelligence
Locate Object
constitution


Nobody even blinked.

A customer was telling me about a camera that fell into the water, but he dried it out and it was fine. I replied, "Yeah, it's when people try and turn it on right away when it's all wet, that's where you take lightning damage." :)

Followed it up with "Cameras are not aquatic creatures."
