Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
As DM, my puzzles may not involve haiku, particularly if the answer is the only three lines that aren't actually a haiku.
My answers to divinations may not involve limericks.
Just because the spell description says I can give a 'cryptic response' doesn't mean I should.
Particularly if the response is a poem.
I am to ask someone else to write my poems answers to divinations and puzzles. Mine are "too hard."

A vortex grenade kind of rips a hole in the fabric of space and time to a corrupting hell dimension and sucks everything in a given radius in it.
Psykout is an industrial byproduct of the golden throne (a kind of psychik interstellar lighthouse and mile high life support machine for a physical god fueled by human sacrifice). Its effects on Psykers are not pleasant.
Why you wouldn't want to mix the two I don't know but I can well imagine that its not just a waste of good psykout.

I have this mental image of a bunch of Daemons sitting around when the psych-out grenade pops in front of them. I'd imagine exploding an anti-psyker bomb in the warp would have some spectacular results.
