She is preparing spells one day and looks up and says, "What does control water do?"
Our response, "It controls water."
Reminds me of a friend I used to game with. The party is getting it's butt handed to it, and the player of the cleric is kinda just standing there.
Players: "Do something! Cast a spell or hit something!"
Cleric: "I don't know what to do! What spell should I cast?"
Players: "How about Slay Living."
Cleric: "I don't know what that does."
Players: "It
slays the living!"
Or better yet, the same player had some of the strangest lines of questioning. Like this gem:
Player: "Are they wearing pants?"
Other Players: "What?"
Player: "Well, they might be asian."
And there's two made famous by the player of the bard in the Planescape game I ran:
Player (asked whenever we encountered a foe, so that he could apply the appropriate modifiers from his +1 holy evil outsider bane bow): "Are they evil? Are they an Outsider? Are they an Evil Outsider?"
And the roleplay portion of his bluff check (check result = mid 40's) when trying to get in to see the Apothecary of Sin: "We need to get something apothecaried."
