^ In the one Exalted campaign I played, that character actually would have improved the experience....

Asking a female druid if it really does taste like honey down there.

If you survive, asking her if her animal companion joins in.

^ Merely implying that the animal companion joins in.

In a game of W40 K, announcing that you are playing Female Space Marines.

In a game of W40 K, declaring that anybody you kill in close combat is not dead- they are captured, and taken to a POW camp where they will be treated well, if a bit rudely, because the Imperium isn't a bunch of monsters.

On a discussion thread about W40 K, declaring that any side is sympathetic, much less Good.

I'd prefer a potion of lightning bolt.

W40k Exalted? Congratulations,you've made me cry with laughter.evil grin

Have your players recreate One Piece's "Pirate Docking 6! Big Emperor!".

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

When I explained All Flesh Must Be Eaten to my stepfather, and told him about my love of characters with quirks that made survival challenging, he suggested I make a character with a biting fetish.

Making a bard with the power "Break Forth Wall."

Followup: Using that power to complain about edition wars.

A guy named The Demented One (who may or may not be the same one as the Exalted charm-design colossus) wrote up a Tropamancer adept type for Unknown Armies (it's linked on the Tropes page). Break the Fourth Wall is one of their Significant spells.

^ Hydra with Natural Attacks that have the Vorpal quality?

I was thinking more along the lines of "Use a vorpal sword against a hydra".

The comics equivalent of PTSD.

I'd just as soon use Power Attack and Cleave. Vorpal really is a bit of overkill. Of which there is no kill like.

...no, the point is, vorpal sword. You cut off a head. Next round, two more heads grow back in its place... or maybe you cut off ALL its heads, so the number of heads DOUBLES unless you can seal them all at once.

Well, not all hydra double their heads like that and generally, once all heads are decapitated, doesn't the damned thing die anyway?

Cut off the heads sear em with acid. That's the plan! Otherwise you'll have to Kill It with Fire

^ At least in 3.5, hydra bodies weren't immune to damage, they just had really high regeneration (20/round, I think.) Drop them to 0 and they die and stay dead.

To rerail: drop a hydra to 1 HP, then pause to gloat.
