First Post
Last session, our DM expressed his desire for us to start renaming our spells. He felt that going stock like we were was ruining the atmostphere of the game. One suggestion was renaming magic missile to Goobrilak's Vengeful Luminescence. A better idea, I said, would be to name them a la martial arts moves. Thus, magic missile becomes dragon lights floating on a pond of rose moolight on a warm summer night. Naturally, we transitioned into renaming spells as haikus.
So begins my exhaustive, though certainly not systematic, attempt at renaming all D&D spells as haikus. Please contribute where you feel led.
Magic missile
The pretty lights hurt
But only 'til CR five
The bad guys then laugh
Boar's strength
I used to be bad
I now fight with a Nerf gun
I blame 3.5
Scry
He thought he was smart
I ruined his cool plot twist
Let's screw the DM
Fly
I used to cast this
We all got Wings of Flying
What a waste of ink
Freedom of movement
I jumped off the boat
Stupid DM says I sink
Falling damage sucks
Plane shift
Dude, this campaign stinks
Let's drop it and go to hell
Pick up succubi

Hah! Which one am I?
You keep hitting the wrong one
Are you casting Chain--
Raise dead
The tank died again
No time for Resurrection
'Cuz we're still fighting
Cure critical wounds
Sorry you're dying
I'd help, but I already
cast Death ward instead
