Marcus Impudite Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Mind you I'm not necessarily talking math errors or other mechanical mistakes, but more like typos and brain-os on character sheets your players have submitted. Those little goofs that had you rolling on the floor laughing your butt off before handing them back to be corrected. A recent example from my own group: A player built a taser for his character (a street level vigilante) and for one of the NND defenses wrote "being insolent" (instead of "being insulated").

CrosshairCollie Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: GMs: Funniest Character Sheet Mistakes You've Seen. Less a typo on a sheet than someone misreading something there ... when running the 4th Ed Champions in a con game, one player, playing Seeker, kept making these inane, pointless, nonsensical comments out of nowhere. At one point, someone asked him what in the world he was doing, because it was getting annoying. "I'm just playing the character." " .... how do you figure?" "It says right here, Psych Lim: Irrelevant Wisecracker." " ... ... ... IRREVERENT." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS: Business Consluting 13- OIF: Power Amour -1/2 (in Canada, "Armor" can be spelt the British way, "Armour". In French, which is spoken by most Montrealers, "Amour" means love. Martial Stroke +2d6 (good thing it wasn't the +4d6 Offensive Stroke, or the Sacrifice one, especially if your mind is here in the gutter with mine).

Hugh Neilson Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Re: GMs: Funniest Character Sheet Mistakes You've Seen. We had a trick Archer character who had a Drain arrow with the SFX of "Poisson". I'm not sure how long he aged them to get that particular effect (as poisson is French for fish, for the anglophones reading this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had very a grim and serious character who had the Psychological Limitation: Rootless. He of course meant to write ruthless. We didn’t tell him for month. It did explain why his character was so grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Re: GMs: Funniest Character Sheet Mistakes You've Seen. One of the ones I've seen was a character with "Slight Hands" when the player meant to put down "Sleight of Hand." That made for some amusing jokes for a while.

Which meant he could triage crime and disaster victims at a glance, or look for survivors in piles of rubble. If they're dead, he sees right through them. If they're not, they're the only thing he CAN see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
