Title: Killer Rabbit - Caerbannog - C&T I
Post by: Spectre771 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?

"... treat damage from "exploding" attacks as "slaying" (H.H.G.O.A.)."

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

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...
