             The Thirty-Five Types of Dungeons and Dragons Players
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1) The Real Man- "Hot diggity! Orc outpost at 12 o'clock! Chaaaaaaarge!!

2) The Real Role Player- "Don't start yet!! I need two minutes to get
   properly into character."

3) The Loonie- "I drop my longsword and kiss the ogre on the lips."

4) Too powerful- "I swing at the Orc with my bastard sword... (roll) a two.
   Add 3 for magic, 2 for strength, 2 for specialization... (etc etc) a 27.
   (grin) Did I hit?"

5) Much too powerful- "Five arch-devils and two demigods? That's ALL? I
   guess I'll only need to use six of my rings for this encounter."

6) The Coward- "Yikes! Three kobolds! Retreat! Retreat!"

7) The Novice- "I just rolled a two on my 'to hit' roll. Did I want high or
   low?"

8) The Troublemaker- "Just as the Mayor starts to give his speech to the
   town, I cast Command- 'vomit' on him."

9) The Tactician- "The archer will move silently into position behind the
   podium, carefully aiming at the sargeant. The mage shall remain silently
   behind the door in preparation of a 'sleep' spell which will be centered
   at the table around which are the bulk of the guards. Meanwhile, the
   fighter and I shall..."

10) The Quiet Type- "I dunno... I lob off another arrow at the monster this
    round, I guess."

11) The Punster- "You know how many clerics it takes to fix a light bulb?
    One, to cast 'Cure Light'"

12) The PC Infighter- "Since Ruth's been such a twit, I hit her in the face
    with my flail while she's casting her 'find familiar' spell."

13) Memorized the Rule Book- "No, if you look in the DMG, page 81 paragraph
    5, you'll find that this spell doesn't affect griffons."

14) The Whiner- "Three points?! I take THREE POINTS OF DAMAGE!?! Frank,
    what the hell kind of grudge do you have against me?"

15) The Bully- "Are you sure I didn't make my saving throw? Are you
    ABSOLUTELY sure? Do you want your nose to stay the way it is, Lou?"

16) Mr. Greedy- "So it's not evil? And it's not attacking? So what! I WANT
    THAT XP!"

17) Mr. Greedy II- "Now how do we go about carting off this 800 copper
    pieces? We're already loaded down with the 4 suits of leather armor and
    the electrum-inlaid toilet seats we found earlier..."

18) The Cheater- "I roll an... 18! It hits! (grabs dice)"

19) The Chastiser- "And you DIDN'T SEE THAT TRAP COMING! Hahahahahahaha!
    Just how long did you say you've been playing this game?"

20) The Kamikaze- "I jump off our perch, taking careful aim to land dead
    center on the hobgoblin patrol. Just before I hit the ground, though, I
    set off the Fire Trap on all my nine flasks of oil."

21) The Good Roller- "Oh, looky here. An 03 on percentile dice. If that
    door was trapped, I just found something.

22) The Bad Roller- "Great! *Another* critical fumble!"

23) The Braggart- "The thought of you attacking me isn't even interesting.
    I could get off a sleep spell and slit your unconscious throat before
    your longsword ever cleared it's sheath."

24) The Reminiscer- "You know, this reminds me of the time out thief spent
    twenty minutes trying to lockpick an unlocked door."

25) Goody Two-Shoes- "Wait a minute. Even if they are orcs, we can't just
    attack them when they're asleep and can't defend themselves."

26) Overoptimistic- "After we get through this campaign, and have gained
    about nine, ten levels, I'm going to buy me the finest battle axe that
    money can buy."

27) Short-Attention-Span-Man- "Hmmm? What? Oh, are we attacking now?"

28) The Mindless Player-

     GM- "The gaping chasm stretches out before you. It is too far to jump
          across."
     Player- "I jump the chasm."

29) The crybaby- "You mean the big rock crushed me? My character's DEAD?!?
    Really, really DEAD?!? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

30) The Cowboy- "I walk proudly up to the King and challenge him to a duel
    to the death. Oh yeah, I make sure to call him a wimp."

31) The Psycho Killer-

     GM- "OK, you open the door and you see-"
     Player- "KILL KILL KILL!!! BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD!!! RRAAAAAAAAGGHHH!!!!!"

32) The Worry Wort- "Okay, my mage is invisible, levitating thirty meters
    above the party, has a Phantom Armor and a Stoneskin on him, a Ring of
    Fire Resistance worn, a Minor Globe of Invulnerability, (etc etc) Damn!
    I have a bad feeling about this..."

33) The Masochist- "I stop running, turn around, slap the minotaur, and
    tell him to stop breathing down my neck."
    (Closely related to #3, The Loonie.)

34) Unfaithful Cleric- After thirty years and nine levels of neutral-good
    life, he switches from Celestian to Boccob (who doesn't care if anyone
    worships him) just so he can get combat spells. "I'm sure Celestian won't
    mind."

35) Questionable Ranger- "I know she's an innocent maiden, but I need 1
    XP to advance a level."

     OTHER TYPES:

Stingy- "No, you can't borrow my Wand of Paralysis, it only has 57 charges
         left."

Win At Any Cost- "The medusa made her saving throw? You sure? Say, I have
                  two tickets to the Springsteen show, how about..."

Schizophrenic-

      Player- "Morden opens the chest and looks inside."
      GM- "The latch was trapped with a poison needle. Roll vs. poison.
           (Rolls) Sorry, Morden is poisoned and dies."
      Player- "Ok, hold on. (rolls dice) 14 for strength, 17 for...
               (30 seconds later) Malchor looks inside the chest..."
