An alternate phrasing ends ''...even God can't hit me!''''Lots!''The response, usually sarcastically, to the DM question ''How many hit points do you have left?'', which normally comes after a ginormous attack from the BBEG (or after saying ''...even God can't hit me!'').''Is there a man in [city name] who has not slept with my daughter?!?''Frustrated response of a PC cleric whose daughter (also a PC) is notoriously promiscuous. Based on a line from ''I, Claudius'', spoken by Augustus, played by Brian Blessed (who happens to be the character model for the cleric). Phrase is now a running gag.''Keel zem, keel zem all...''Signature phrase of one of my NPCs, first spoken (in an awt-rageous Fronch ox-CENT) by her when she was rescued from a band of gnolls who'd enslaved and, uh...molested her. Now used more-or-less jokingly (often OOC) when someone asks ''what do we do with these [whatever] we've captured?''''What is your quest?''Often said jokingly, OOC, when the party meets a new PC or NPC.''Fireball...fireball...how's that go...?''Said usually before unleashing Hell on Earth upon the BBEG in the form of a fireball spell or some other reasonably-flashy high-damage spell. Sometimes replaced with ''...you hear the ominous sound of pages rustling...'' From Dragonlancs, of course.''What's it gots in its pocketses...?''Said when looting a foe, whether it actually has ''pocketses'' or not.''...you slime...'' or just ''...sliiiiiiiiime...''Usually spoken by my DM, when we kill one of her BBEGs, particularly if we take (in her opinion) undue advantage of a slip-up on the NPC's part.''...my theory, which is mine and belongs to me..''Usually said when one party member is relating his hypothesis about what's going on behind the scenes or why a thing is a the way that it is; originally from a Monty Python sketch.''...here's a kiss for you...'''Said by one of my characters before she blasts an enemy out of their boots. From the ZBS SF radio play ''Ruby: Adventures Of A Galactic Gumshoe'', about a tough-as-nails female private eye on an alien planet; Ruby's favorite weapon is her Smith-Hitachi Godzilla-Blaster, but I make do with a wand or spell.''Hey, suckah! Suck on this!'' Another Ruby phrase that has worked its way into my PC's dialogue, said usually before snuffing some poor bastard's life out, via sword, arrow or zap.''...dies of fright!'', ''...invites us all to tea!'', ''...gives us his treasure and goes off on his merry way!'', ''...lays his/her sword at our feet!'', ''...trips and impales him/herself on his/her pointed shoes!'', ''...surrenders!'' or the like.Various attempts, usually quite desperate, by PCs to finish a phrase by the DM, regarding the next action that the BBEG will take, which generally start ''He/She turns slowly and...''. ''He/She looks up and...'', ''He/She smiles and...''. The DM usually finishes the phrase with ''...actually, make a saving throw.'',  ''...what's your AC again...?'', ''...he/she points a wand/staff/rod/finger at you, speaks a word, and...save.'' or ''...draws his/her sword/axe/other weapon and attacks.''Not so much standard catch-phrases, that last bit, but more a standardized behavior.More later when I rememember them.</blockquote>
