Killer Rabbit - Caerbannog - C&T I
« on: October 25, 2017, 07:01:26 AM »
Good morning all,

While showing some new players the fun creatures one could face in RM2, I brought up the killer rabbit, a la Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  In the stats section, there is an abbreviation that I cannot figure out for the life of me.   Does anyone know what it is?

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
The world was then consumed by darkness, and mankind was devoured alive and cast into hell, led by a jubilant 紗羽. She rejoiced in being able to continue serving the gods, thus perpetuating her travels across worlds to destroy them. She looked at her doll and, remembering their promises, told her: "You see, my dear, we succeeded! We've become legends! We've become villains! We've become witches!" She then laughed with a joyful, childlike laughter, just as she kept doing for all of eternity.

OMG!  I wasn't even think that!  I was trying to work "Holy Grail" into the phrase somehow.

Thank you Brother Maynard.

LOL, I knew about the rabbit, but never got the HHGrenade reference!

You should also check out the different kinds of skeletons. Especially the Red Skeleton. Showing my age on that one.. :)

I've used the Red Skelton in one of the campaigns.  I had to come up with a ton of bad puns as the attacks.  Each bad pun, roll the dice, see how much it hurt.  It was great! 

... and the +100(?) Pie-to-the-Face Attack

Those puns could also make use of the Depression crit table...
