    “Are you a shapeSHIFTer? Because you seem more beautiful every time I look at you.”

    “You must not be PUSHy, because I’m feeling a strong PULL in your direction.”

    “I’m like a slime-mold attracted to beauty, and I’m SLIDING in your direction.”

    That first and third ones work, right? Those are totally original, too. I’m pretty sure, anyway.

    DISCLAIMER: My pick-up lines are in no way fit for the real world, and should not be used therein. I am in no way responsible for complete loss of social status or other detrimental effects stemming from the use of the above pick-up lines.

    EDIT: Also, 80%, and I haven’t read the 4e books at all! W00t!!!11!!one!!two!!11thursday!!!1

    Boo-ya, my first ever over 55%!

    Holy Critical Hit! You know everything about D&D combat! You must be a hit with the ladies! (no? you must be popular with your D&D friends?)

  3. Kevin says:

    Your score: 80%

    Impressive! You know almost everything about D&D combat. Now put down the PHB and go hang out with real, actual human beings.

    And I haven’t even cracked a 4e book. Is there a reason we don’t get to see the answers anymore?

  4. Yax says:

    @ Kevin:

    Yes there is a reason why you don’t see the answers anymore. My old computer died and I changed the quiz code. The answers will be back after GenCon probably.

  5. jtptan says:

    Hello! I thought I ought to say ‘hi’ as I’ve been lurking around for the past three weeks.

    “You must be some sort of rogue, because you keep _shifting_ my eyes towards yours”

    Yes? Think it would work?

  9. Dave T. Game says:

  10. Aresnasti says:

    Your score: 80%

    Impressive! You know almost everything about D&D combat. Now put down the PHB and go hang out with real, actual human beings.

    But isnt that who I am hanging with when I play?

  11. Yax says:

    @vdgmprgrmr & jtptan: Smooth pickup line(s)!

    @Dave T. Game: Not so smooth pickup line!

    @Gorthmog: Can anything involving gelatinous cubes be considered a pickup line? I say yes and if you get a girl with it she must be “the one”.

  12. reachx says:

    imagine what my score would be if i could actually find a gaming group and wasn’t still crpg’ing (se previous reason). I learned 3rd and 4th in hopes of a decent computer game. After seeing the GSL i best not hold my breath.
