I've had so many.
Here's one:
Weapon Shop- I can make your sythe cold worked for an extra 500 gp.
Me- (hmmm, that means cold dmg I think) o.k.
I then later asked the DM if it would do extra cold dmg. He laughed saying it wasn't magical and that I could only do more dmg to faries.

A guy recently joined my son's gaming group and thought "turn undead" meant that your character temporarily became undead, gaining all the immunities of undead.

That's not terribly newbish. Technically "cleric" is a bastardization of "clerk" which is itself a bastardization of "clark." Calling a cleric a clerk is perfectly acceptable from an etymological standpoint (and it makes sense since the historical duties of clerics were bookkeeping). In England the word "cleric" is often pronounced "clerk" while the word "clerk" is still often pronounced "clark" (one of my professors at Cambridge is living proof of that).

I make malapropisms like this all the time. I kept on saying I want to draw my sword from the Sacred Scarab, instead of the Sacred Scabbard. Not D&D related but I also once said my favorite Robin Hod character from the old TV show was the Saccharin, instead of Saracen.

How about mispronouncing 'potion of diminution' for about 15 years?

As in 'diminutation'?


You know, I keep thinking that after the new design team gets done with D&D 4e, D&D won't stand for Dungeons and Dragons anymore, because well, that's just not fun. It's old and stuffy. - Originally Posted by BabWryter on Kenzerco.com

This young lady was playing a Druid for the first time.  The PCs were in a situation where some of them had to pretend to be entertainers while the others inverstigated the place.  So the druid summons some dogs and has them do tricks.  For the grand finale, she has the dogs somersault into the air...

And then she casts Hold Animal.

She honestly though it would freeze them in midair.

Poor dogs.  They felt so betrayed.

Funny, though.

My wife has been playing D&D for six or seven years now. She's always preferred the roleplaying side of things to the combat side. Just this last week her rogue (she always plays rogues) acquired a +1 rapier. She seemed disappointed and indicated that the magic weapon was no big deal, asking why she'd prefer it over her masterwork sword. It turns out that she had no idea that +1 (or higher) weapons gain a bonus to damage!

But I'm not complaining...it's just nice to have a wife who's willing to roleplay with me.

Judging by the stuff you find on youtube, a lot of people would be entertained by this as well.
