Gamer Lingo

Brick: A player who, on character creation, places all of his points into strength and stamina, usually to the detriment (or complete obliteration) of any mental or social attributes.

Chicken: A player who, on character creation, places all of his points into dexterity and dodge, usually to the detriment (or complete obliteration) of any mental or social attributes. Combined with "brick" at higher levels to become "chicken brick:" an untouchable character, who, if touched, will never take damage due to his brick nature.

Dumbassitude: A Discipline that included the powers Heart Pendant, Obfuscate in the Corner, Dull Stare of the Dairy Cow, Deer in Headlights, Utterance of the Retard, and Essence of Lobotomy. The Discipline is rumored to be able to make other people believe that the character using it is so stupid that they can't possibly exist, though it can be twisted enough to allow for the ultimate in underestimation.

Fluffy: Derogatory name given to a player who spontaneously decides that his/her character has something previously unmentioned, because "it would make sense for my character to have that." Usually used to justify a plethora of objects that are insanely powerful and cannot be used properly by said character. Usually a Munchkin. Also goes by the names of "fuzzy," fuzz-bucket," "hairball" or "moron." Term was named after a player of an online campaign who spent 30 minutes trying to justify sole ownership of a node, 3 high-powered talismans and a level 5 familiar.

Food: A noun to describe what a player would be if he really lived in the World of Darkness.

Munchkin: Any player who bends or breaks rules, or enacts schemes against other players (or the GM) of machiavellian proportions in order to produce the "winning" character...in a game where there is no "winner." Munchkins have read more rulebooks and supplements than anyone else (just ask them, they'll tell you), and can usually generate nigh-omnipotent characters that are still, technically speaking, legal. F.ex., "I found this great way to make a zero-cost level 5 Chantry. Got the idea from the limited-edition Chantries expansion, only 100 copies ever printed..."

Omniscan: A term used in Mage: the Ascension, where the Mage in question has one (and only one) dot in every Sphere. All of the Spheres are used together to determine everything about the object, hence the scan. Most often, accompanied by a pantomime of a HUD with a readout and a rotating spherical grid, a la Final Fantasy VIII.

Quasimodo: A character with the physical flaws "monstrous," "disfigured" and "deformed," and high points in Vicissitude to cover it all up and look normal throughout the whole game.

Storyteller's Prerogative: In general, the method used by a Table-Top RPG storyteller to cheese. Usually this is done not to curb munchkin-ism (like the famous acid pit), but to force the game to go in the direction he wants it to, at the expense of the enjoyment of everyone else involved. F.ex., "He spends HOW MUCH willpower in one turn ? Is this even legal ?" "Storyteller's prerogative."

The Last One: The justification used to create a character that has no earthly business even existing, such as the "Sphere-weilding, cantrip throwing, chi-using, mokole abomination antitribu." Lesser infractions include "Dream Weaver mage raised by Bone-Gnawer pack" or "Caitiff who was given Ventrue and Brujah blood on 'accident.'" Also known as "the Exception," or "Day-Walker Syndrome."

Twink: A player that allocates all points into a specific attribute to be the "best" at it. Most are typically Chickens or Bricks. The Chicken-Brick is the holy grail for most Twinks. Frequently synonymous with Munchkin.

Umbrapopping: A technique where the character (often a shapeshifter, and mostly a Corax) uses the Umbra as a personal teleportation tactic.
