    Default Things you don't want to hear the PC's/DM say

    Just a fun thread. Just post some things that you don't like hearing from either your players or from the DM.

    DM: "Hehehehe...." *Starts gathering d6's*

    PC: *Playing an Owlbear* "I attempt a grapple."

    DM:....d****t, now i need to check the DC.

    PC: I sit on the ground and do nothing.
    other PCs: me too.
    (this has actually happened to me.)

    DM: the drow looks angry.

    DM: i don't have a figure of appropriate size, so i guess this land raider's gonna have to do.

    and my favorite(all from a PC, we play on most sundays):

    monday: I wanna play a cancer mage.
    tuesday: No, it's gonna be a disciple of mammon.
    wednesday: still a disciple, but mephistopholes(hope i spelled it right)
    thursday:can I apply this template?
    friday: OK, i think i need you to tell me what a level adjustment is, exactly.
    saturday: what if i was an evil half iron golem monk with vow of poverty?
    sunday: I'm a human bard!

    this was like 3 weeks ago.

    and one more: DM(this was me, apologetic voice): I can't seem to stop rolling 17s.

    OMG, i hate that. i have all this crap ready for like 4 more sessions because I made a small corner of the land for the campaign i'm running, and what do they do? leave the ruined castle, and instead of going to the next place they wander in circles for 18 in game days looking for random encounters. I honestly don't even know why I let it go that long.

    As for alignment, the inherent nature of an adventurer makes playing the game and having anything but a chaotic alignment nearly irreconcilable, unless you simply choose to overlook it. good and evil are a different story though.

    This happened today on our 3.0 Ravenloft campaign.

    DM: [To a lvl1 wizard] That makes a total of 4 regular and 10 Con damage.
    Wizard: well, i drop unconscious. How much is my max HP?
    DM: Hmmm.. You currently have score of 3. That makes max HP of 1.
    Party cleric: Hahh.. now we got our personal minion.

    PC: "Bad roleplayer." (when you're not drooling after her 18-Charisma character) (Her character - all of her characters - was obsessed with sex. Really annoying)

    DM: "You can't do that. You're Lawful." (everytime your character don't follow the letter of the rules and ruins the DM's plan)

    PC: "I can do that. I'm Chaotic." (everytime the player wants to screw up the rest of the party doing something stupid)

    DM: "Heavy roleplaying." or "Tactical combat." (after you create a character unfit for the campaign)

    PC: "My character (insert boring information about the character)." (when you're having fun outside the game and another player really wants you to know every detail about the character he\she's playing)

    DM: "This NPC will help you." (and railroad the rest of the party)

    PC: "I roll Initiative." (a lot of painful times, like when they tried to kill each other for an item on the ground. Non-magical, even they didn't know that)

    DM: "You should really try a NPC class." (Why, just tell me *WHY*!?>_<)
