-Note: these are also good for DMs/GMs, of course.


1: Today is a good day to die.


2: All is dust.


3: I came, I saw, (insert Deity name) conquered.

I stole that last one form the Polish king after the Siege of Vienna.:smallbiggrin:


Have any others?

There is safety in numbers. And I'm two or three at least.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, watch it! I'm huge!

Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes!

I am become death, destroyer of worlds.

Butt kicking for goodness!

I grow tired of shouting battle cries when fighting this mage. Boo will finish his eyeballs once and for all, so he does not rise again! Evil, meet my sword! SWORD, MEET EVIL!

Camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel. The stuff of legend!

Feel the backhand of Justice!

I know you said that you wouldn't tolerate excuses, but we have a real good one.

I will be the last! And you will go first...

Is it just me, or is the world filled with wackos? Okay, Mr. Psycho gnome, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but we're really not interested in your rock garden.

Reputation is what others know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.

Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is knowing fear but not letting fear control you.

Honor is not diminished by being shared.

It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.

"You want to know what Monsters have Nightmares about? Me!"

"Run if you dare coward, but I promise, if you ever feel you may forget my face, all you ever need do is look over your shoulder."

Drakevarg
2010-10-13, 10:51 PM
"Run if you like, but expect a sharp and fatal pain between your shoulder blades."

Or, for some actual original material:

"When I first became a Paladin, I thought in terms of black and white. I see now that it's really a spectrum of greys, and that plenty of people stradle my arbitrary line between good and evil.

But you know what? Those people aren't my problem. My job is to sniff out those who live their lives far enough away from that ...line that I need to squint to see any light, and then kick their ass in a manner most righteous."

To alter the above line just a bit: "Piss me off again and, So help me, I will steal your pants off your goddam legs!!"

and, most likely from a caster to a non caster: "What? You mean you can't- Aww, I feel sorry for you."

The rogue in my group is that good that he'll actually do this with a natural 20. Happened in our first session. So now he has the bad ass boast "I'm so good a thief, I can steal your pants while you are wearing them."

Here's a few of my favourites from Discworld.

(About a debate on the nature of sin.)
"It's not as simple as that. It's not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of grey."
"There's no greys, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself."
"It's a lot more complicated than that-"
"No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth."
(I know a dialogue isn't very good for using ingame, but you can probably adapt the core part. I'm certainly readying it for my Paladin to verbally beatdown the BBEG with.)

Not a quote, but damn if it isn't a perfect description of every adventurer ever:
If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards.'

"Oh, you think you're so clever, so in-control, so swave, just because I've got a sword and you haven't!"

"Gods, elementals, demons, spirits... sometimes it's hard to tell 'em apart wi'oot a map."

Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes!


Ahhhhh...the classics...

And now for something completely different:

"Not knowing what I'm getting myself into has been the latest trend for me."

"Who says the undead don't know how to party?"

"Death. The eternal blink. The capricious dance of Now Ya Stop Movin' Forever. Well contrary to popular belief, death isn't just for dead people. It can happen to anyone. I know, it's news to me too. And it's not just people either, it's all kinds of stuff. Horses, fiddler crabs. Did you know that even a potato... can die?"

"Another urban legend dispelled. Ninjas don't bounce."

"And so, may Evil beware and may Good dress warmly and eat plenty of fresh vegetables."

"And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit."

"Destiny's powerful hand has made the bed of my future, and it's up to me to lie in it. I am destined to be a superhero. To right wrongs, and to pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evildoers everywhere. And you don't fight destiny. No sir. And, you don't eat crackers in the bed of your future, or you get all... scratchy."

"I don't know the meaning of the word "surrender". I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb... just not in this context."

(All from external sources. Yes, I once played The Tick in a Champions game. Good times. Gooooood times. :smallbiggrin:)

For a nice vengeance oath/threat when you have time to be a little wordy:

"Upon him i will visit famine and a fire.
Till all around him desolation rings
And all the demons in the outer dark
Look on amazed and recognize
That vengeance is the business of a man."

Been on an anti-authoritarian streak lately:

Tigranes Levantus: If you looked into a magic crystal, you saw your army destroyed and yourself dead. If you saw that in the future, as I'm sure you're seeing it now, would you continue to fight?
Spartacus: Yes.
Tigranes Levantus: Knowing that you must lose?
Spartacus: Knowing we can. All men lose when they die and all men die. But a slave and a free man lose different things.
Tigranes Levantus: They both lose life.
Spartacus: When a free man dies, he loses the pleasure of life. A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win.

Also:

To the priest who says these men are enemies of religion, to the judge who says they are enemies of law, to the fat parliment who says these men are enemies of order and decency, to all these I will reply "You are false kings, but you are true prophets. I am come to destroy you and fulfill your prophecies."

Another from our dearest Minsc I found in wikiquote, which I weirdly haven't ever encountered despite playing through the game god knows how many times:

"My anger is under complete control! COMPLETE! I'll control it as I rip limb from limb, I WILL control it as I pound head after head!"

And let's carry on with an Edwin:

"They started this, and I'm going to finish it. They came to our lands and started killing our people with no warning or reason. The actions of these few have damned their entire city, and I am the one who will carry out their punishment. Neither my people nor yours are safe as long as they are able to fight, and they have shown time and again they cannot be trusted then they claim to surrender. If you can't stomach killing their women and children, feel free to leave, and I'll do it myself. Just remember, if we'd offered to surrender, they would have slaughtered or enslaved us without mercy like they have others who have surrendered. So go home and worry every day for the rest of your life about them returning, but I'm staying here and stopping the problem now, with or without your help."

"Maybe others of their kind will take a lesson from this, and stop from their marauding ways. But these people have proven themselves beyond forgiveness, and I refuse to stand by and let them hurt anyone else."

Also:

"I've been dead before, it's not a big deal. It's not so much being dead that sucks as it is the act of dying that's unpleasant."

"Zeus demands tacos!" Evil Harry Potter GURPS game, I was playing a hyper charismatic illusionist who got bored.

"Hey Goddess! I can see your **** from down here!" Some demi-goddess was locked in combat with an ally in the air above us. Lacking any decent ranged attacks my GM allowed me to use insults to try and distract her.

"Listen closely vampire, know that I will be staking you, but when I do it will be up to you. Unless you tell me what I want to know you can discover how deep this stake can go into other orifices. For Hades sake, if you still don't talk we can make a few new ones, I'm sure between myself and my comrades we could come up with quite a few creative ways of making you suffer. So why don't you just talk? I promise a quick death."

"Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am." Good for anybody with a loud gun or robot.

''Being effective does not make you evil. If anything, it makes you dangerous. Therefore, being evil and being dangerous are by no means the same thing. You, for example, you're a dragon's spawn, and a vampire, out to enslave my people and to claim world domination. That makes you evil in my book and of course, you are a very real threat. While I? I'm just a lowly soldier, a mere human, and a humble servant to my king and god. And still, right now, I'm your worst nightmare.'' (- this one came up during one session, muttered by the ranger/fighter with a paladin complex, going against a vampiric dragon disciple. Feel free to reword and use it at your leisure. :smallcool:)

No matter what Oghren says before the final battle, it's awesome:

"When from blades in battle
The stone is fed,
Let the heroes stand tall
And the blighters lie dead."

Come to think of it, that'd be a great line for a well-meaning mook, especially if you follow it with Oghren's next line:

"As one of the blighters, I sodding salute you."

And the other speech is even better:

"Let the Stone turn red from the blood of heroes!"

The best of them all:

"I am [First Name]! [First Name] [Last Name]! I am the sword of [Loved One]! There is nothing I cannot cut!"
Because a guy who gives their all in every battle and refuses to accept defeat is heroic enough. Now, imagine that guy armed with the Power of Love. A cheesy, invincible fighting god is born!

Another one that I think fits:

"Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
Because poetry can be badass if you think about it long enough.

Its Halo, but since D&D uses small numbers it fits.

This from a campaign:

"Did you know that dragons are my favorite enemy? I love the way that their scales shine when covered in blood, I love the way they bellow in rage when injured. I love the way that you can see their ancient pride shatter just before their eyes go blank." ~Groups ranger whose favored enemy was dragons.

From Shakespeare's Henry V:
WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!

KING. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Walls? What walls?"

There are plenty more from the fiery (in more ways than one) Jaya Ballard. Ironically her actual card does not have the room for flavor text.

"Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him."

And

"Evidently [opponant]'s an educated man. Now I really hate him."


Also for speeches there's
"I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of [name here], I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God."

And reply to "But they love you, lord." in reference to a populace with
"Oh, no... they FEAR me... and that is much better. "

And a personal favourite for a loyal subordinate that needs to die.
"You're an honest man, [mook], which means a bad [nationality]! Therefore, you are a traitor! Logical, hmm? Ha, ha, ha! "

If your compatriots know of the origins of the last 3 then they won't admit it, so you'll sound more original.

"We're here to wreck everything, we're here to ruin your life....god sent us."

"You wanted to kill me so you destroyed the trinkets I adorned my home with. All that glitters is not phylactery, my friends. I've ruled this kingdom for millenia as a lich and a life time before that, my phylactery is in a place you're in no place to destroy."

It should be noted that the last one was reference to the fact that the lich had turned an empire the size of a continant into his phylactery via the use of nigh-cosmic level magic.

Today i used some good lines, in a one shot, playing a warforged Barbarian/fighter (not made by me).

When confronted by a wizard followed by guards, telling to give him our party knight, i replied, to him.

Do you know what day is it (everyone looked at me surprised, the DM even more), and the wizard replied, is day X, month X, year... that is when i interrupt him by saying: No, this is the day you die.

Some time later, when that same wizard was almost going to send every one against us, after seeing who was in favor of giving away the knight, or protect him; and i say to him.

Think very carefully, you still have a chance to go away, if you dont, i will use your blood as lubricant for my Cogs.

That day (it was a game day, from a group of rol playing game fans) i won a price for best personality, for playing that character, so i think i was ok (not that im flaunting about it, but im seen as a power gamer, not a roleplayer).

"[Your name]"

When the enemy doesn't respond, asks "what?", or asks who that is, you reply, "A pity. I had hoped you might have heard of me. Then again, I suppose if you had, you'd have run by now."

As an assassin with a sniper rifle, I would sometimes walk up to a corpse after shooting it and say, "[My employer] says hello. . . Damn, I always do those in the wrong order."

"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!"
Alternatively:
"Roses are red, violets are blue, but enough talk, have at you!"

Aside from that:
"Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean!"
Sounds cheesy, but it turns out to be a quote from Fahrenheit 451.

You do not understand mortal, I am Zeruel [replace name as needed], not some pathetic demon for you to brush aside. I am unconquerable. I am implacable. I. Will. End. You. Your attacks are futile. Your gods struggles will die unheeded. I will succeed. And you, as the rest of this overrated plane, will end.

Used that for the last boss. It was technically an unwinable fight, they had to avoid him and kill the stuff around him to win.

"To crush your enemies, and see them fall at your feet - to take their horses and belongings, and to hear the lamentation of their women. That is the best life."

We had once a variation of this: "I will crush you, see you at my feet, take your belongings and hear the lamentation of your people."

"Shouldn't that mean 'the lamentation of your women?"

"With you people, that's terribly hard to tell apart."

---

"An army of frightened soldiers does not differ much from an army of puppies. And they are scared."

"When I die, my god will lift me to his palace, and I will feast with the greatest warriors for all eternity. When you die, nothing but oblivion awaits you. Do you think I fear death?"

"I don't fear death. I only fear the embarrassment to be killed by the likes of you."

"Superiority is not shown by cruelty but by mercy. It is below me to kill you."

"It is better to die than to be dishonored. Death is sudden, but damnation is eternal."

"There are only two societies which are worthy to belong to - the honorable living, and the honorable dead."

"If you are not ready to die for your cause, you are certainly not ready to kill for it."



Unfortunately, most of these quotes seem somewhat lacking in translation.

Told to a Beholder, with a supporting army, behind him, ready to butcher my bard and my party.

Here you have an army, and you are indeed powerful, but, We have passed, every test in this tomb, that means, that the god of this tomb, has found us worthy; and my fellow here even has the god´s armor, and his blessings; are you really sure you want to fight against the chosen ones of a god? Maybe it is a better idea to get away, you can even say you fought and survived against us, so you have a nice tale to tell to your kind.

We were 5 lvl 10 people; against a beholder, and a lot of monsters; the beholder ran away frightened after shooting a disintegration ray against to of the party member, and failing miserably. :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

"Put your god damned pants on! Were going out there to kill THAT THING!" -Random person yells from inside a cabin at a LARP as I let loose a high pitched scream dressed as a troll at 5 am.

"If I get woken up by your bleeding incantations one more time I'm taking your spell book to the outhouse with me and its coming back with a few less pages!"- The rogue says to the sorcerer.

"Do you think I can hit his arse from here?" "You'll never know until you try." -The paladin responding to the ranger.
