tell me what you think and post your own
Things your players should NEVER say
Ask "are the undead dead"
Ask "do you need to have rope to use rope"
Say "should i shrink the Assasin?"
Say "im going to robb the beggar
Things a DM should NEVER do
Say "ok you see three pirates four thieves and two common folk"
Say "ok after your turn in this war aganst Amn i have to caculate the other 4,000 people actions, i will need 5 years"
Say " Reroll that (BIG NO NO)
Say" ok now that you robbed the beggar it turns out he is a 20th level Wizard Disguised as a Beggar just for his amusement"

Player
says "are we at the shire yet"
Says "IM GOING TO USE MAGIC MISSLE AT THE DARKNESS"
Says and cheesy line from some family show in the 70's such as "what are you talking about willis" or "the price is right"
Says before game "i brought a few friends around they don't know anything about d&d but the way i described it they still have no idea what it is"
YES MY LIFE IS A LIVING HELL SADLY ENOUGH IVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS NONSENCE and im only 17

Something that a player should NEVER say:
"I'm going to sneak up on the dragon (lich, archwizard, drow priestess, etc.) and backstab it." |
There can be only one. |

Me (to player): The Orc hit you, and you failed your concentration check--your spell failed.
Player: Well--OK, I'll try again. I cast the spell again.
Me: You only had 1 instance of the spell prepared...
Player: Yeah, but that failed, I can still cast it, right?
Me: *Uses PHB to bludgeon myself* *Then uses it to bludgeon player* |

My favorite:
Newbie vampire PC: "No! I wasn't sucking this guy's blood...I was just dealing with...homeboy here."
The rest of the table: "HOMEBOY??!!"

My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

Had a vamp PC once myself...newbies especially are bad at playing these characters
NVPC (Newbie Vamp PC): I go outside of the cave.
Me (DM): Are you sure, its daytime.
NVPC: Yeah, but I put on sunblock first.
Me: *Bludgeons player with dictionary* You say anything like that, and I'll go get my battleaxe... |

Death is only frightening to those who haven't died yet... |
