[QUOTE="Driddle, post: 3210980, member: 3447"] I can get behind that, I s'pose. :\ Recently we've started using similar shorthand -- the DM and other players understand that "F6" (pronounced "eff-siks") basically means the first line of the party hugs the wall to flank and engage the enemy so that the second line can fire missile weapons while the back line begins preparing prespecified magic spells. When the designated leader calls "F6," it saves a lot of time and avoids misunderstanding. Because we all know that if we don't move quickly, the game is gonna eat our lunch! "F1" (pronounced "eff-wun") is reserved for each PC individually. It implies a currently held object will be dropped to the ground and a prespecified second object will be drawn (usually a weapon). ... It meshes well with other codes, and can even be uttered in the same breath: "F6 plus F1," by the aforementioned ranged attackers, for example. We just haven't gotten around to adopting "buff" into our shared lexicon yet. [/QUOTE]
