You could always try my VC Simulator

It's been like 4 years since I've updated it, but it should still be good for some laughs.

I'm so proud of the scenario I ran at gen con that ended in a success with the status of the party: dead, negative but stable, idioted, platypused, and dodod.

I squirreled a guy once and he made the will save. Wrote a book about his few minutes as a squirrel.

[DM Livgin]

CR = ALP + 4: The only thing saving you from even odds of death is a situational modifier that you may or may not have discovered, skilled checked, utilized, or diplomatized. Pray your GM isn't running this cold.

[Tealk]

Loot: the items on a fallen pc's inventory tracker sheet.
"So, what loot did he have on him again?"

Thornkeeped: the term used to refer to when you realise that going into this dungeon was a terrible idea.
"So, I don't wanna sound defeatist or anything but - I think we may have just thornkeeped.

[Arutema]

Typo: an excuse to discard any sort of common sense regarding intended wording and pounce on literal wording. also see: rules lawyer.

[Selvaxri]

Swiss Miss- a spellcaster that spams Magic Missile
Swiss Cheese- The target of said magic missiles

Boom Town- the center of a Fireball, usually in the middle of a grouping.

Pokey Stick of Poking- a Rapier of a rogue or another dex class, waiting to get enough money to enchant it with Agile or a skill that does Dex-to-Damage

GM's Grimace- when the GM rolls a nat 20 to confirm, and then rolls max damage.

Pause Button- Hold Person/Paralyze on a Wand.

"Back in the bag"- switching out dice that fail to perform to your standards.

[Fromper]

Fireball formation - When a group of PCs stays within 20 ft radius of each other while exploring.

Lightning bolt formation : Party in a single file line with each person adjacent to the next in line.

[BigNorseWolf]

Fireball formation: You are within 40 feet of each other

Lightningbolt formation: Single file.

Monster bait formation: You are more than 40 feet away from each other.

[robertness]

Bait: The lightly armored roguish type who leads the way to find the traps, but gets found by the monsters first.

...And if you don't you'll get yelled at for not being close enough together for Haste :P

[andreww]

PC Death Box: When the scenario forces you all into a relatively small area of the map at the start. See, for example, Elven Entanglement.

[Ascalaphus]

5ft Hell: a dungeon sized for approximately 2 PCs, consisting mostly of 5ft wide corridors in which enemies attack. Usually played with a party of 6 melee PCs, most of which have a Large companion creature.

[Warwick Cailean]

"5 player table": For seasons 0-3, a situation where you can expect to get done early with minimal damage to the party and little chance of death.

For seasons 4-8, a situation where the chances of a TPK rise dramatically, and you start doing mental math to figure out if having this particular fifth character in the group gives a better chance of success than playing down a tier or getting the 4-player adjustment.

"7 player table": Prepare to spend the next 4-6 hours shouting to be heard and rushing into combat in order to get an attack in before everything is dead.

Canned Cleric- what the paladin is when half the party goes down

Sad- when the druid's animal companion has a higher AC than the party tank

Ka, the super Snake expert hugger and Hermes, Roc of Victory concur with this view.

Particularly the last two and even more likely to delay or consume resources from the whole party.

Also, the act of downing a potion of invisibility, gaseous form, or both after you got put in a bad position and you're confident the party will deal with the encounter before your character is where you'd like to be.

(Had this happen when a bunch of critters dropped in from the ethereal plane, causing my ranged investigator to have two four armed bad guys adjacent to him. "I five foot step, draw and drink a potion of invis, and I'm noping out for a round or two.")

[Gark the Goblin]

What about when you go invisible and then get knocked unconscious/paralyzed? Always fun.

Or unconscious, poisoned, hidden by fog, displaced and in the trample path of two fiendish dinosaurs. Good times. The guy survived.

[Alanya]

"You guys got this": When your character has nothing useful to contribute to an encounter, and you don't feel like expending purchased resources because the rest of your party is already stomping things.

The animal companion in question was my t-rex. Don't get me wrong I was glad that nothing could touch him but we were lucky the tank was making his fort saves or else he would be would have been taking quite a bit of con damage.

Group Hug - Between combat Channeling to heal the whole party

Fromper wrote:

Bloodied - Term stolen from 4e D&D, means that an enemy is down to less than half hit points.

Round here we describe that as 'Physical'.

Not completely sure why, but I suspect it's because the damage is likely to be visible.

[Lord Laird Bates]

Burned- being in the way of a fire/acid/electric based AoE spell or other attack.

[Nefreet]

This made me laugh so hard I cried.

"Wer gonover ta play Pathfinder, yumpto?"

Lawful Neutral: quite possibly secretly evil.
Chaotic Neutral: most likely insane.
Atonement: cheaper than what the evil item would cost if it wasn't evil and free.

Razmir: our lord and savior, the one and only living God.

Razmiran priest: door to door false God salesman, at higher levels it costs them less than the cleric to bring you back to life.
