[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 1610642, member: 9327"] 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 [i]magic missile[/i] to [i]Goobrilak's Vengeful Luminescence[/i]. A better idea, I said, would be to name them a la martial arts moves. Thus, [i]magic missile[/i] becomes [i]dragon lights floating on a pond of rose moolight on a warm summer night[/i]. 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.
