[QUOTE="Rabelais, post: 2000935, member: 2969"] Wall of Dwarf- To put oneself out of the direct line of fire by standing behind other PC's. Use: Summon Wall of Dwarf! Origin: Early in our game our Rogue Amity came up with a plan for the Dwarves Ulfgar and Dunbar to step in front of her after she had finished clearing the trap and unlocking the door. She succeeded, lept out of the way, and yelled "Summon: Wall of Dwarf". It's stuck. We're near epic now, and it's still in use. ***** Orate- To deliver formal, ceremonial speech. Use: I begin my oration, I orate Origin: My 17th level bard's perform skill is maxed out, but it's not precisely musically based. Rabelais' perform skill is in Oration. So whenever I'm trying to use Inspire Courage or whatnot, I'm delivering the State of the Union. ***** Selkie Army: To get innocent bystanders killed in spectacular fashion. Use:I'll use my Selkie Army to clear that guard tower Origin: Our paladin thought that the Selkies we had freed in the previous room would be willing to help us clear a corridor of traps by walking ahead of us. This brought the game to a complete halt, dumbfounded. We took a moment to explain to the new player that... well, it might not be within the Paladin's code of conduct to run the Selkies through the mine field. She still plays, but she's now a Rogue... much happier with the less stringent Ethical requirements. Tangent: A sudden digression or change of course (Exclamation) Use: Tangent! Origin: Our group is pretty chatty during game, but it tends to break the narrative thread, not to mention the fourth wall. Our GM has a sign on her screen of the Tangent symbol with a circle and a line going through it. NO TANGENTS! ***** Wandering Damage: To deliver however many dice in damage to a player for transgressions against the GM. Use: Shut up dude! She's gonna call out the Wandering Damage. Origin: Our GM has done away with Wandering Monsters, cutting out the middleman alltogether, she drops however many dice she has in front of her, delivering X damage, If somebody is messing with her. So far she's only threatened it... ***** Glaremistress: GM Use: Yes Glaremistress Origin: Our GM has a pretty lethal glower when she levels her stare, narrowing her eyes. It's usually enough to kill tangents in their tracks. ***** Z: To pass time uneventfully Use: Ok, we've finished shopping and talking to the bartenders gathering information... Can we "Z" to the next day? Us: Can we "Z" through the night? GM: The night passes uneventfully Us" Yay! Origin: In the original Zork game, Z was the command to wait. ***** [/QUOTE]
