[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 2000071, member: 1515"] Oh, one more... "Hot Donuts" -- means that there's some manner of group buff effect in play (e.g., Inspire Courage, Bless, etc.) Origin -- in one of our groups, the bard would always do an Inspire Courage song at the beginning of a combat, and the other players would keep forgetting to add in the bonuses to their rolls. So, the player of the bard made up a little sign that said: "Inspire Courage: +1 to attack rolls / +1 to weapon damage rolls / +1 on saves vs. charm and fear", and would hang this sign on my DM screen (so the other players could see it). The "Hot Donuts" reference is from Krispy Kreme Donuts -- when they're actively making donuts at one of their stores, they light up a sign that says "Hot Donuts Now", and the customers flock in (or, at least, they used to, in the pre-Atkins days). When the bard's player first hung this sign up, I remarked that it reminded me of "Hot Donuts Now", and the name stuck. So, now, when the bard sings her song, I always announce, "Hot Donuts!"
