Check it's skills. I find it especially entertaining given the relevant stat.

How else do you explain earthquakes?

[Temotei]

Hehe. +5. Jump.

[RebelRogue]

Is that a joke, now? It is a consequence of its low movement speed.

[jmbrown]

Genius loci can't jump.

[Temotei]

Genius loci can't jump.

Yes.

[Psychosis]

I chuckled.

[Starscream]

Cute.

[Haven]

Heh. And here I thought there was only one joke in the SRD

[Temotei]

Heh. And here I thought there was only one joke in the SRD

[Mongoose87]

Heh. And here I thought there was only one joke in the SRD

Silly person, the Soulknife is in there, too.

[nekomata2]

Heh. And here I thought there was only one joke in the SRD

Sorry...two there be.

Edit: Mongoose ninja...

[Temotei]

Which one is worse? The monk or the soulknife, in your opinion?

[Mongoose87]

Which one is worse? The monk or the soulknife, in your opinion?

The Soulknife. Monks have better saves, and evasion.

[Sstoopidtallkid]

Soulknife. The Monk can survive. While not worth much in a party, that is at least an ability. The Soulknife has a weapon. That's not an ability at all, that's WBL.

I always found it funny the template examples given. For instance, Summon Monster III can summon a Celestial Bison - A holy cow.

In one of the monster books they have a gelatinous template. What do they apply it to as an example? A bear. So, a gummy bear.

Honestly, I am quite sad that the d20srd Power List does not contain Déjà Vu twice, like the XPH does. The first time I saw that I thought I was crazy .

Really? I don't have the XPH, but that's awesome right there.

Most of the material components for spells are minor jokes in their own right...
Black tentacle needs a piece of a giant octopus or squid.
Hold person is a nail (nailed to the floor).
Never said they were funny...

Yeah, the second time I saw it, I was like "Wait, why does look familiar...?"

Isnt there one in the DMG table of 100 traits. Yea, page 128.

100 - No sense of humor (See #26)

the joke is, there is no #26. It was probably caught during editing, and instead of fixing it, they added it in as a joke.

I almost forgot about that one.

I'm also sure there was another major one somewhere, but I don't remember what. It's bound to show up here.

Genius Loci are weird creatures. How far does the "emulation" go I wonder? I assume the ooze's goal is to lure in and eat prey? I wonder how it matches an enslaved good character's motivations with that...would they try to lure in evil creatures as snacks?

[Cybren]

i don't get it

[taltamir]

i don't get it

genious loci are collossal (125 tons or more) oozes that emulate "terrain" and cannot jump. They have 1 and exactly 1 skill. Jump.

I also like this incantation.

Note how you require 42 runes in a divination effect.

Which book is that? I'd like to see that.

[Gralamin]

Pretty sure it is Savage Species.

Its actually a reference to the 3.0 DMG, which simply didn't have a #26. My group decided the missing trait was "flaming homosexual"

Or group sometimes rolls on the table for newly created PCs. This became especially amusing when 26 was rolled for a dwarven wizard named Stef Flamerod.

One of my favourite jokes in third edition was in the Expanded Psionics handbook, in the powers section.

They printed Deja Vu in its correct place, then printed a few other powers... and then reprinted Deja Vu, word for word.

I believe that is also a reference to Cthulhu
