Out of context quotes thread

i'm concerned about the penguins in the context of these quotes, these rocket-powered penguins

 

Spoiler: context

just the one penguin, in our Pathfinder game. One of our sorcerors recently acquired a penguin familiar, and is... very excited to utilize it, regardless of how feasible it is. Up to and including "I climb on the penguin, holding onto it with my legs, and use my innate Fly ability to fly away riding a penguin" and "we need a distraction? I cast Detonate [effectively a fireball centered on the caster] through my penguin"

 

[/QUOTE]
Huh. I'm guessing this was because the Detonate spell can't be cast through a familiar? (You can use your familiar to cast a spell with a range of touch, but Detonate technically has a 30' range.)

 

Rocket-powered penguins just make me think of this again:

 

Clearly spotted beans have magic algebra powers.

We didn't even get that far, there was some argument over whether or not the penguin would be protected as the "caster" of the spell or die to the maxed 10d8 damage.
We made a different distraction instead :p
