    Default Something Silly Discovered

    Okay, this happened at my last gaming session, and it was funny enough to share...

    One of my players has an Unarmed Swordsage, and has a Monk's Belt. He's doing 1d10+5 with his primary attack, and is angling to be getting into Bloodclaw Master in a couple of levels.

    Well, my handwriting is a bit... sloppy. So when I wrote it, he started laughing his arse off. I asked him what was so funny...

    Well, I wrote the plus sign a bit large, so it looked like a 't'

    so it looked like 1d10ts... or... idiots

    This is, by the way, the dumbest character in the campaign, which made it all the more fitting.

    So the next time a player does something REALLY stupid... tell him "dude... that just did 1d10+5"...

    Hah, same thing happened with my Bastard sword wielding Paladin two weeks ago. He was the team leader, but had a respectable INT of 14.

    In our Heavy Gear game, I had a Vibro-Rapier installed on my gear. Apparently, the second "i" was hard to read. This was exacerbated because they noticed it shortly after I had used it to kill someone from behind.

    Absolutely. Even more so, you deal with a lot of I/O (Idiot Operators... kudos to anyone who finds this particularly punny, it's been a while) and GIGO errors

    This one, I don't know the meaning of. Mind elaborating?

    the cause of the fault is 40 cm from the screen
