    Default Shocking! An electric mages quips.

    So, Im running a PF sorcerer soon, from first level. Im using the words of power variant, found here. I'm also using the witch word list, because we need someone to heal and junk, and I don't want to optimize much, new players in the group, you know?

    My theme is a hyperactive young human, who always has something to say. Kinda like spider-man or the flash or what have you. Also, if you find it relevant, his name is arc and he has a deathly fear of metal, because he looses control of his electric magic if he touches it, and it burns him out. Pure fluff! Also, Djanni bloodline.

    So, Im looking for electric themed things to say! Im sure someone has something, so please, give me a hand!

    If an enemy was in some kind of military, he's been discharged.

    When asking for confirmation, always ask "are you positive?"

    Take ranks in Profession(Maestro). You're a great conductor.

    Ask enemies if they've had a bad day, then ask whether their mood "needs some lightening".

    That's all I can think of for now.

    My Own:

    Need a light?
    I've got more amps than a rock concert.
    How about a shocking experience?
    Electronic Supersonic!
    I'll take you down to electric avenue.

    And of course, "UNLIMITED POWER!"

    Also, if it helps, here's the quotes for the Tesla Trooper from RA2:

    Ready

    "Trooper fully charged."
    "I'm wired."
    "Who needs a jump?"
    "Tesla suit ready."
    "Charging Up."
    "Fully Shielded."
    "Free Hookups."

    Moving

    "In motion."
    "Yes, commerade."

    Attacking

    "Insulation won't help."
    "He's fried."
    "Here's your electric bill."

    Under Attack

    "I need shock therapy."

    Garrisoning a building

    "Could use some recharge time."
    "Is it well insulated?"
    "Looks well grounded."

    Can you simulate the spell Grease with word magic?
    "Go Grease Lightning!"

    Take Leadership feat. Have a cohort and followers. Call your group The Electric Company.

    Cast a continual light effect on plant bulbs. As a quirk, lift one above your head when your character thinks of a cool idea.

    Have a favorite chair.

    Have a lightning scar on your forehead.

    I beg you to reconsider watt you are doing. Sure, electricity puns can be funny and you may even think that they will amplify your popularity, but many people consider them shocking and it won't take long for them to form a resistance against you to jolt you out of your behavior. In conclusion: Don't be a dolt, don't volt.

    Take a Gauss, you'll never figure it out.

    Aha, by induction, this is quite simple.

    Does that have enough capacitance to carry everything?

    Hey, coulomb down!

    This is getting quite revolting.

    I'm sure that if we do this in parallel, we'll encounter less resistance.

    Stop alternating plans or I'll diode what to do!

    I don't have the capacitance to listen to this anymore.

    If he's a drinking mage, something just "shorts out." Works better if it's a naval campaign and he just calls it getting "sloshed."

    I want to say there's an electric touch-range cantrip out there. If so, just have that on hand and always go to shake official's hands. When they flip out from the shock, you know what to say.

    close (literally)

    as in, it's close range and not touch (but that's better anyways) magic of faerun p 91, "electric jolt" an electrical sor/wiz cantrip. 1d3 electric damage, no save, so I think it's a ray. great for fell animating and fits the theme well
