Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Warlock" data-source="post: 3496680" data-attributes="member: 21215">Oh yeah...Let's see, we've come up with a few sayings at the table that have stuck over the years....Decapaplode - A vorpal sword may not have been involved, but the target has taken so much damage from a single hit that one assumes that their head must have been separated from the shoulders, usually negative hp in excess of the characters normal total. Often occurs on a critical fumble where my handy crit table says that the attacker has hit himself or an ally for critical damage. Exploditate - When a target is killed thanks to the energy special on a weapon, usually a shocking burst critical."Detonates like a weiner in a microwave" - To be killed, usually by rolling a 1 for the save, when struck by a lightning/electricity based attack."Channelling Matt" - As in, "I'm channelling Matt tonight", referring to a player who leaves somewhat earlier than others and has a unique gift of rolling 1-5 or 16-20 and almost never anything in the middle on a d20. Frequently when I (as the DM) or another player takes over his character, we suddenly begin "channelling Matt" on our rolls for his character."Bzzzzt - Brother Roy gets shocked" - Referring to a LG monk of Ilmater who had some interesting concepts about faith and alignment, and received a Phylactery of Faithfulnees to stay on the straight and narrow. Brother Roy has retired from active adventuring, but whenever any current PC says something which is radically improper for their alignment or personality to date, Brother Roy, wherever he is, gets the Holy Joybuzzer from his phylactery."I have TOES!" - Failed check to hear, see or otherwise notice something."I broke the (creature)" - Initially regarding a series of elves, refers to attempting to subdue the target with nonlethal damage, but doing so much nonlethal damage that it should trigger a massive damage save, resulting in death by utter shock."Get out of my MIND!" - Whenever anyone at the table says something you were just about to say. "Kobolds the likes of which even GOD has never seen!" - Kobolds to be replaced by any creature or object which appears in such mass quantities to make even a jaded group of high-level adventurers stop and stare. What can I say, we like the movie "Dune"."Stupid Grondar Tricks" - Named after a Half-Ogre Ranger whose player had to leave the table to run an errand, the player was asked what his next action would be, and responded with the above. This resulted in him annhilating the blue dragon sorcerer's bardic lover in one round, and suffering a successful full attack sequence from the blue dragon in retaliation for 177 hp, which reduced him to well past dead. Now refers to any action or series of actions which, while effective, will invite immediate and brutal reprisals from other foes in the current battle. AnniHimAlated! - Not just annhilated, but annihilated thoroughly and painfully. Usually via a full attack sequence from a creature with a large number of melee attacks...like a dragon. Grondar got himself AnniHimAlated.FRM - The ever popular Fine Red Mist, what happens when you charge, and roll a critical for 160 points of damage on a standard 1 HD goblin mook. Why, he is transformed into a fine red mist."THAT Party..." - Meaning the group who is prepared for eventualities, can actually execute a plan successfully, or finds and fortifies a position so as to have the advantage. The party always aspires to be That Party, but usually the NPCs are That Party. Occasionally though, the PCs do actually succeed at being That Party. "Wow, we really were THAT Party tonight!""Moose Ears" - To put one hand up next to one's head, thumb touching the temple with fingers outstretched as a sign that anything coming out of your mouth is 100% out of character, and should not be heard nor reacted to by other PCs or NPCs. Prevents the DM from having to ask, "Did you REALLY just say that?""OUR Team! OUR Team!" - A reminder shouted when a player reminds the DM of a rule that will screw the current action/plan of the party or a PC. Usually directed at me....</blockquote>
