[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 2601409, member: 1276"] After playing for a while my group has come up with a few. #1 The players had spent a long time on one area, which consited of a city and the surrounding forest. One night while in the forest, they set up camp and one of my players asked "Is there a tree around?" I replied "not in this forest", and he realized what he asked. He finished the request by adding "no, no. A big tree with a hole in it?" and I stopped it there. For a long time when it starts getting late or somoene asks a question he should know the answer to, we reply with "is there a tree around?" When we thought that had to be the silliest question ever asked, another player asked #2 "How long does a permanancy spell last?" In his defense he meant how long before the spell damaged the item it was placed on, but we all had a good laugh at it, and now "Is there a tree around?" is always followed by "How long does a permanency last?" #3 "I take the damage" This from one of my player who had trouble putting aside his pride. It actually come from a magic game, where he refused to block an attack and died from it saying "I take the damage" even though he could have prevented it. This same player coined #4 "I bite my tongue off and swallow it". His PC and the rest of the party had split up. He did not know where they were going or what they were doing, and was captured by an evil thief who wanted information. The thief used a paingiving dagger to torture the player's PC, who insisted that his character not answer the thief's questions. The questions were of course, where are you friends. Since he didn't know, there was no danger of him endagering them. When I started having him roll fortitude saves to resist the torture, he bit off his tongue and swallowed it so he would not reveal information he did not know in the first place. Now when somone is being obstinant for no reason we reply with "I bite my tongue off and swallow it." [/QUOTE]
