What 3e (& 3.5e) terms are you sick of?

[TeeSeeJay]

I'm pretty sick of "Difficulty Class" because I'm too used to the concept being called the "Target Number" -- everytime I read "DC" I mentally change it to "TN".

Broken. I'm so sick of hearing everyone seemingly call every single rule broken in some way.

I forgot "crunchy". When I read someone say a book was filled with "crunchy" goodness or something like that I am irritated for some reason.

Any character class being called worthless. Hell, it's about playing what you will have fun playing, not what is the most powerful. Hmmmm....wait.....maybe not..... I will have to get back to you on that.

OGL, OGC/Open Game Content, PI/Product Identity, d20 System License and SRD.

90% of the people who talk about these ad infinitum will never have to even worry about it, or have no reason to worry about it, myself most definitely included

Referring to the magic system as "Vancian." The same goes for "fire and forget." Nothing makes me want to pimp slap the acne of some faux-erudite gamer geek than those two terms.

While I'm at it, "Rule 0". Sure it makes for a great sound-bite, but as a constructive answer it's pablum.

Welcome to post-EverQuest roleplaying. That's where terms such as "broken" and "game balance" came from. I never heard these things in previous editions of the game.

Those terms get used much in Magic: The Addiction, um, I mean, Magic: The Gathering alot. I remember hearing them way before 3E or Everquest came along.

Monte Cook (Which, from what I can see, is just the 3e way of saying Monty Haul)

I suspect he is just a WOTC created rumor of a boogey man like figure that will come and confiscate our books when 3.5 comes out.

People should just stop worrying about this figment.
