[QUOTE="McAbendroth, post: 2603942, member: 36119"] This reminds me of my groups "Jim the Gem". Long ago in a campaign one of the characters found two gems in some loot, one was pretty worthless and the other had a decent value. The player decided to sell off the valuable gem and purchase a nicely made box to contain the smaller worthless gem. He also had [I]Magic Mouth[/I] cast on the gem so it would say it's name "Jim" hence "Jim the Gem". There are lots of other good running gags we've had over the years. [B]"Ok we kill ourselves and get there"[/B] This came about from my groups rotating DM-ness. When one of the players was running a campaign we were traveling from City A to get to City B. Because of a poor choice in random encounters on the road the whole party died. The DM said "Fine. The next day you all wake up and your where you needed to go." From then on when needing to travel we would say "Ok we kill ourselves and get there." [B]"Is it Fey?"[/B] This came about from my (takes deep breath) Ranger/Druid/Rogue/Stormlord (gotta love humans) character and my want to actually get to make use of my "Resist Natures Lure" Druid ability. It first started when I had to make a saving throw to resist being charmed by a vampire. I promptly asked, "Is it Fey?" This brought forth lots of giggles from the party which I responded to with, "Hey he never said it wasn't a Pixie Vampire!" Our group constantly makes reference to "Is it Fey?" for all sorts of situations, in and out of game. On a side note to this: You can see an old drawing of this character my friend did. It was made back when he was still just a Ranger/Druid. It can be found in the General Public Art Gallery here at EN World. Look up images put up by DrakkarDaveneorn [B]Onjec's Scars[/B] This is in reference to the above character and my luck concerning things that chop off limbs and experience with being rended by trolls. On my character sheet in the character picture box I have a 'diagram of scars' which contains a rough outline of my character and labels of his major scars.
