Spell related jokes to cheer James Jacobs


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


James Jacobs is currently editing the PFRPG, which includes pages and pages of spell block madness for him to have to read through, so I thought I'd post a thread where people can post spell-related jokes to cheer him up (or at least distract him).

I'll kick off with: 'Did you hear the one about the goblin sorcerer who tried to build a house with walls of fire?'

RPG Superstar 2012

A wizard teaching at the Academy Arcane was troubled by his students constantly nodding off during his lectures. He eventually decided to consult with one of his colleagues whose lectures were the talk of the student body. "Let me check your lecture notes," his colleague said. After a minute's perusal, the colleague smiled and informed the wizard, "These aren't lecture notes. They're an incantation for the sleep spell."

They don't have to be good jokes, do they?


Why was the dyslexic wizard sterile?

Spoiler:
He accidentally cast Evard's Blocked Testicles.

No, but I thought that one was... :D


Adepts often end up in cults because they don't practice safe sects!


And there's the joke about the goblin rogue who thought that by using a wand of silent image to create an ilusion on top of himself that he could ensure that nobody would be able to hear him...

Insulting Hand

evocation [force]
Level: sorcerer/wizard 0
Casting Time: 1 free action
Components: S
Range: medium (Line of sight)
Effect: a visual vulgar insult displayed from the casters hand
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous, (Can be sustained through concentration, but prevents casting of spells with a somatic component.)
Saving Throw: none
Spell Resistance: none

Insulting Hand conveys a message of vulgar contempt from the caster to one or more opponents. The opponents intelligence must be higher than 2 and have an general biology similar to the humanoid type to understand the insult (Constructs, Oozes, Abominations and Plant creatures are generally immune, but Dragons do understand the insult but will consider the caster juvenile idiot not worthy of responding to, or perhaps worthy only of eating.)

Upon seeing the insult, the opponent's attitude is shifted one place worse (i.e. indifferent is made unfriendly, unfriendly is made hostile).

Insulting Hand, Mass
Level: sorcerer/wizard 2

Works just like Insulting Hand but effects multiple targets

Special: If cast while a barbarian is in rage, the caster becomes the focus of his ire and is attacked on the barbarian's very next opportunity. This includes barbarians on the casters party as well and opponents.

    And quite often to owl's wisdom as well.

    But according to the lobbyists, you can nail them with suggestion almost everytime if you use the right "material" component.

    ba-da-bing!

    Is it true that all politicians are necromancers? I guess so, because most have plenty of skeletons in their closets!

    A: One is a zealous defender and the other is a jealous pretender. :)

    No, some are transmuters. Because they're so good at changing their stripes to suit public opinion.

    And some are illusionists, because they're so good at molding public perception and fooling their constituencies.

    But there's no need to sidetrack a good comedy thread with politics. So, on with the jokes!

    Woah.

    The good news is, I'm currently on imbue with spell ability.

    The bad news is that I left a chunk of the spells chapter at home, so I still have to do everything from baleful polymorph to feeblemind.

    ...so...many...spells...


    I just don't get this thread. Editing the spells section of the PfRPG puts one in need of cheering up?
    Scratches head.


    I have one that isn't about PF, but kinda fits:

    Some missionaries in the deep jungle have taken on a team of reporters and such to show them how the natives live. Unfortunately, the first band of natives they meet are all cannibals, and quickly take the missionaries and reporters both captive.

    The Tribal Chief is very happy: "Ah, tonight we will dine on delicious missionaries, and so many of them."

    At that, one of the reporter crew bursts into tears.

    "What's with you?"

    "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! And I'm not even a missionary. I'm just an editor for those reporters, they talked me into coming along."

    "An editor? Then I have good news for you!"

    "You'll let me go?"

    "No, but very soon, you will be Editor-in-Chief!"

    Are we allowed to use the old, old Dragon mag ones?

    Like the Ring of Spell Turning that shouts out "Turning. T, U, R, N, I, N, G. Turning" when activated?

    Why is it a bad idea to cross a necromancer gangster?

    Spoiler:
    Because he can make sure that all your past mistakes come back to haunt you.

    Why is it a bad idea to cross an illusionist gangster?
    Spoiler:
    Because he can make sure that you are never seen again.

    Why is it a bad idea to cross an enchanter gangster?
    Spoiler:
    Because he can suggest to you an offer that you can't refuse.
