I get chills every time I settle into my seat around the table with my friends to play a session of Dungeons and Dragons. Anticipation bubbles in the air, and my character is itching to continue its magical journey and utter long, drawn-out sentences that would suit their nature. 'Thaddeus', they would say sternly to a fellow scholarly wizard. 'Have you not been to the market lately? Where is that golden plum I asked you to retrieve? You are aware that we shall need it for a powerful spell. It will aid us in creating the elusive Phoenix Feather'.

Thaddeus will grumble back that he is well aware that we are on a quest and that he already has the plum. He would also explain how he got it. Gruffly, he'd grouch about the hooded figure he met, who he spotted in the corner of the market square, surrounded by the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and the smells of exotic spices. This figure spoke in a gravelly voice, and although it took some convincing, the plum was his.

Wait, where am I going with this? Scroll down for the most epic lines spoken by players during a DnD game. Then check out this Dungeons and Dragons player who snatched a magical item from another player because they had crafted it on 'her quest'.

    I'll go first. The warlock in the party has a patron who was a god/deity of space (stars/moons/etc). In the presence of a powerful und d, the patron could physically manifest itself in the body of the player if he failed a saving throw out(or by choice as he got a slight buff when he changed), changing the hue of his magic to purplish fire.

    Fast forward to the fight with an undead BBEG, and it was the warlocks turn. The boss was very weak and susceptible to a final blow. The warlocks eyes glowed with the fire of a god, and he approached the weak monster. He reached out his hand to show himself holding a purple orb resembling a galaxy. He then uttered the words, "We are born of the cosmos...", placed his hand on the forehead of

    the monster with the energy burning its skin to the bone, and whispered "now return to it" before disintegrating the skull of the monster. That moment had the entire table stunned and in silence for probably 10 seconds until it was overcome by cheering. One of the best moments I've ever had as a DM.

    Pseudonymost. 4 days ago DM We were fighting an evil jester mage, who was revealed to have dozens of clones of himself. The fighter took out a few of the clones, one of whom used ab mb to take itself out and hurt the fighter. The fighter encountered the very last clone who attempted the same strategy, just for the fighter to yell "Jokes aren't as funny the second time around!" and critting the clones head off. You just had to be there... 613 Reply Share

    Leftyguy113 · 4 days ago · edited 3 days ago DM I'm going to toot my own horn here, but I loved dropping this line. As a high level Conquest Paladin on a mission to rescue some hostages from a cult, the party managed to storm into the cult chapel in the middle of a service. My paladin waltzed into the center of the room and said: "Oh good, you're already praying. You're gonna need it." 281 Reply Share

    Epic Joe_ 4 days ago This is a simple one, but it felt really good. I was playing a rogue in a dungeon crawl one shot, I did the classic "scout ahead of the party and loot the treasure room early" bit, but the boss of the dungeon caught me in the act. I scrambled up a bas-relief on the wall, but the dungeon boss was an ogre, so even up there he was nearly able to reach. He was taunting me and I

    was trying to figure out what to do when the rest of the party showed up, unseen by the boss who was focused on me. I still get chills a little when I remember the barbarian growling "you're looking the wrong d nn way" right before he crit on BOTH attacks and nearly one-hit k led the boss. Reply Share 821

    Agitated-Resource651 4 days ago Love that! My fighter had a similar moment where we were finally facing down an abishai that had been messing with us since the start of the campaign, the the boss was shifting his focus from an NPC Paladin towards our squishy casters who were talking a lot of sl t to him before and during the battle, he was saying something like "I've been watching you over there, and I think it's time you faced some consequences" as he moved into

    position to mess them up. Then my fighter pulled out his shiny new Bdshed Blade greatsword and said "They're not the ones you should be watching!", immediately crit on my first attack, unloaded all my hit dice into it which were doubled by the crit for over 110+ damage in a single attack. Felt really good and I even got in my extra attack and an action surge afterwards, we ended up taking him down in 2 rounds with only one of our party d ing when the DM stated he had fully intended the fight to

My god draws the lines for me, and it's up to me how I wanna color them in. Sometimes I'll end up going outside of the lines and that's okay. My goal is still to color

    Shadow_Of_Silver · 4 days ago - edited 4 days ago DM I was running a game for a group, and the cleric was using a homebrew subclass I made. Judgement domain. When they got to the BBEG he said, "Have you prepared to face the consequences of your actions?" As the BBEG was ding (0 hp, they already won), the cleric came up and grabbed his head before saying, "I am not here to judge you. My job is to send you to the one who will." Before breaking his neck. 416 Reply Share

Without missing a beat, my very socially awkward friend who I usually have to ask directly for their contribution, retorted "I was always taught not to attack an unarmed man." Naturally, that fey had to hide in shame and became the parties new nemesis
