I am an enormous and in fact shameless fan of tropes in general so choosing just one is pretty much impossible. I could be asked this a dozen times and still be able to provide a stupid amount of answers – but that said my current top three would have to be:
- Endless Arsenal – In which a single member of the party has an inexplicable amount of weapons on their person, which based on sheer weight and volume ought to be impossible for one person to carry, but here we go anyway. Asked to disarm, it takes an impressive amount of time to build up the mountain of what they were holding on to, and in the end after everyone is suitably shocked, they’re reminded of a tiny penknife or other equally small and by-comparison-harmless weapon to add to the pile.
- It Is But A Flesh Wound – In which a character has been injured but is either ignorant to that fact or concealing it for the Greater Good because they’re self-sacrificial lamb chops with martyr complexes.
- Gods Are Dicks – What it says on the tin. I love it when the gods are involved and the amount of fucks they give amounts to a perfectly rounded 0.
