I'm playing a Sage Rogue who took shelter in a library during his childhood.
I'm planning to pump his INT and take the Arcane Trickster archetype.
I was wondering if anyone has any good (or bad) puns to play up the background. Especially for combat.

Certainly whenever you turn in a bounty you need to say "book em".
Additionally you should play against type and make sure everybody knows that you always act "by the book".

Well, you can't judge a book by it's cover anyways. Just saying that so we're all on the same page.

I'm sorry, are you paying attention? You seem to be a bit...
Checked out.
If you fight dinosaurs at any point, mention you hope you don't go up against a Thesaurus.
If someone questions your fortitude, mention you don't have just one spine, but several! Then hold up books.

Only a few posts in and already some of these puns should be considered a crime against sanity.
And I love 'em all.

The library is the tallest building in any city.
It always has the most stories.

This is awesome. Thank you!
These will surely help me Dewey Decimate my enemies.
I don't Dash. I book it.
This is my familiar, Paige. She likes to turn.
I have a novel idea!

Do you have a name for the character yet? If not, call him Conan or something very similar sounding.

If this were a female character, she'd be stacked.

Any combination of Flynn, Carsen, Noah, Wyle would work better I think. Less obvious, but once others get it . . .

This only really works if the campaign is a law procedural but if anyone mentions three or four digit numbers as codes then gasp and make a pun based on what type of work is associated with that number with regards to the Dewey system.

-Get a flame weapon/spell, it's time to "cook the books"
-When a twist or complication comes up, "the plot thickens"
-Defeated enemies are "shelved"
-You "close the book" when completing an adventure
-Refer to all armored characters as bound (leather-bound, iron-bound)

If you do not make a remark involving the saying that the pen is mightier then the sword, I will have lost faith in humanity.

Let's not forget that borrowing a tactic means you've taken a page from someone's book.
You could also use a book as an improvised weapon and hope someone 'hitting the book' so to speak didn't leave a bookmark.
Oh, and being a librarian you'd need an item that lets you cast silence. Because, y'know, shush.

That brought force tears. You should return it before your fined. Check out something else.
