[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 2022600, member: 424"] Expression: "I dazzle him/her/it with my weapon display" Usage: Usually uttered when a full round attack has every attack miss. Origin: One of my players unloaded a 4 attack full round attack on the BBEG and missed totally. Trying to get some sort of an advantage out of his obvious total failure, he proclaims that "I dazzle him with my weapon display", hoping that the DM would have the BBEG intimidated or impressed by the weapon attack. Now stated regularly whenever anyones full attack misses. Expression: "That's brilliant, Sherlock..." Usage: Uttered when someone states the clearly obvious. Example: Party gets surprised in an ambush. Player states "Its a ambush!" Someone usually responds with "That's brilliant, Sherlock...." Origin: Don't recall. Expression: "You/I look at the pretty flowers" Usage: Uttered when someone fails their spot or search check by a horrible amount. Example - DM: "Roll Spot checks". Player A: **rolls a 1** "I look at the pretty flowers..." Origin: While in an outdoor adventure, the Ranger (who had ranks in Spot), rolled a 1 against a simple DC 10 spot check to spot something. Upon rolling the 1, the Ranger's player flatly states "I look at the pretty flowers" Now widely used to indicate a blown spot or search check. Expression: "Dice with the Devil" Usage: Means to take a huge risk, particularly if the failure means something really bad happens. Example: DM: "The door stands before you. The rogue is blinded by that last door trap, so what are you going to do?" Fighter's player: "I am going to dice with the devil and open the door. Do I set off a trap?" Origin: Don't recall. Expression: "Fix bayonets" Usage: A declaration to readily fight. Example: DM: "The room contains a small group of three bugbears. What are you going to do?" Player A: "I fix bayonets and charge on my action." Origin: Don't recall. [/QUOTE]
