Multi-Functionalism

Jack7

First Post
I'm a big fan of Multi-functionalism. Be that real world technology, or imaginary magical items.

I like items, devices, things, traps, inventions, communications and computing equipment, information systems, codes, ciphers, even monsters and characters that have multiple and sometimes even hidden capabilities or functions.

So in this thread talk about all of the favorite things you as a DM or as a player, or in real life for all I care, have devised, invented, or made use of that have/had multiple functions. Especially if those functions were unique, unusual, secret, or maybe even seemed self-contradictory.

So fire away with your imagination, or give us a cold blast of hard edged super-tech, or an electric bolt of impossibility.

We're all game...

From Saturday Night Live, Season 1, Episode 9 (With Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, and Chevy Chase):

Wife: New Shimmer is a floor wax!

Husband: No, new Shimmer is a dessert topping!

Wife: It's a floor wax!

Husband: It's a dessert topping!

Wife: It's a floor wax, I'm telling you!

Husband: It's a dessert topping, you cow!

Spokesman: [ enters quickly ] Hey, hey, hey, calm down, you two. New Shimmer is both a floor wax and a dessert topping! Here, I'll spray some on your mop.. [ sprays Shimmer onto mop ] ..and some on your butterscotch pudding. [ sprays Shimmer onto pudding ]
