[QUOTE="Writer@Large, post: 262287, member: 5404"] Great thread! A couple from my group: [B]"7d12" or "70-12"[/B] Our code for a ridiculously or impossibly high number, either as in a skill check ("I want to jump over the Ettin and attack his left eye while I'm in the air." "Okay, you'll need to make a 70-12 DC to do it") or as a count ("There's a horde of orcs out there." "How many?" "7d12."). Not sure where it originated. [B]"Whackity-whackity-thump, it's dead!"[/B] A player used to say this whenever she rolled her attack dice, for luck. It's become a common usage good luck charm! [B]"I'm gonna take ya to church, boy!"[/B] A PC paladin worshipped Mayaheine, and over the course of a few adventures, "Mayaheine" became, thanks to another player who's good with voices, the voice and accent of phony psychic Miss Cleo [IIRC it began with a [I]divination[/I] spell] whenever the paladin would pray, cast spells, seek guidence, or otherwise commune with his goddess. The above line became the catch-phrase for the whole joke, and eventually, every god was talking like Miss Cleo in that game. Now, we just toss it out to be funny. --W@L [/QUOTE]
