Strange Conversations: Part Thirty-Four

Posted 5 August 2008 in by Catriona

All conversations are strange when you’re rolling up D&D characters.

ME: I think we’re down on healers. And then we’re all dead. Again.
NICK: I’m thinking I have to play a cleric, regardless.
ME: But you like to play a fighter. I don’t mean the specific class, but a fighting character.
NICK: But the main thing is that I want to turn undead, and clerics can do that as well as paladins.
ME: You want to become the undead?
NICK: Turn undead.
ME: That’s what I said.
NICK: No, you invoke “turn undead” and their heads explode.
ME: Okay, that is pretty cool.
NICK: “Don’t worry, my son: I kick arse for the Lord.”
ME: But he died.
NICK: He died righteously.
ME: True—laying down the kung-fu law on the undead.
NICK: That’s it—I’m playing a cleric. And I’m going to show all you wussbags.

It seems to be: he only invented it for the last conversation, as far as he knows, but he’s been using it extensively. And it’s also, conveniently, the only PG insult in his repertoire.

Drew’s playing a cleric, IIRC. (I’d have told Nick this via Pownce, but I can’t make new posts on Pownce ATM.)
