It was me who said it but oh well:
"And then the city falls on you"

As for other DMs:
As a level 9 cleric- DM- "Take a fort save" Me "48." DM- "Well's that a pity".
Look up the insects in 3.0 monster manual guide and fear..... I still have nightmares aobut that monstrous centipede.

I once told my team's fighter, in my first attack of the session, to "Make a fort save against death by massive damage." I don't think he enjoyed it. Of course, he made it by just two, but the fact that he was only level 7 and was down to about 12 hp in the first shot was well worth it.

But thing's I've heard that make me cringe?
-The ubiquitous "How much hp do you have?", of course.
-I'm usually a mage, so any request for a Fortitude save makes me nervous.
-On a similar vein, there was a time when I rolled a one on a Reflex save, and the DM asking where my spellbook was scared the crap out of me.
-There was a time when we were all around level 12, and the DM (who apparently didn't understand CR's, to our great disappointment) began describing a pit fiend. Unsurprisingly, that didn't end so well, but we never let him DM again.

My DM: I don't care what that damn books says, you can't disarm it!

Zilla 07-23-2007 11:33 AM

any time he's like "let me roll their HP" and the dice keep falling.

The scariest thing about my DM, after the horrible traps he lays, and the hordes of enemies he throws at us, is the fact that you have to watch what you say once the campaign has started. Out of character comments have become in-character actions or strange occurrences in the world.

Examples:
My Friend: Crap!
DM *rolls the dice*: You smell an unpleasant aroma emanating from your companion.

My Friend: I get the point!
DM *rolls the dice*: An arrowhead falls from directly above you *rolls dice* unfortunately it misses.

When we play we quite often have DnD minis along with a nice dry erase board with grid lines. We dont have the biggest collection of the minis so from time to time we have to improvise for some things. The DM then sets a roll of toilet paper on the map, for a minute we think he is drawing a new map, then he doesnt move it. The group then starts freaking out until the DM tells us what we see. He didnt have to say anything to scare the crap out of us...

"Wow, that's their challenge rating? Wish I had read that."

"You guys killed all the other monsters I threw at you, so I made this one up myself!"

I always preferred this variant to the "How Many HP" statement:
"So, you're riding along, and an arrow shoots out towards the cleric, and...*rolls, silence*...how many hit points do you have?"

Thats always a bad one....

DM: "You're detect Evil is always active right?"

Friend: "Eh, yeah."

DM: "What level were you again?"

Apparently using detect evil on a god more than triple your level riding a two headed dog of doom is not only a bad idea but physically damaging. Surprisingly so in fact.
