* [Tenra Bansho Zero] No longer allowed to replicate the Wing Zero (Gundam Wing) so well that the GM suggests everyone else rebuild their Yoroi Armours...
* Even if someone took my original concept, which was more reasonable in the offense department but had 30 Vitality. On just the Yoroi Armour.
* If my Tenra character's dice pool rivals that of an Exalt, I am to assume I should play something else. :smalleek:

* When I GM, I may not make a religion worshiping "The Statless Entity"
** The priests of it are not called "Math Priests" and they do not worship and fear it for being beyond all numbers.
*** They cannot say in response to "If it has stats we can kill it!" with "What is statless can never die."
**** Nor can they be afraid of the Mathless Plane, a place where no numbers or measurements exist, where Mathless Monsters dwell, and warn all adventurers against going into it for their own safety.
* Yes the Multiform is a horrible DBZ technique.
** Yes it halves your power with each duplicate.
*** Yes it has never won anyone a single fight.
**** Still not allowed to come to the conclusion that it was invented just to pleasure one's lover with multiple versions of themselves, or to pleasure narcissists with themselves in bed.
***** Cannot attempt to solve harem anime problems with multi form technique. Even if it would probably be successful.

***** Nor may I say I'm a Greek God DM and say that the wizards efforts are tragically in vain, for no man can escape their fate no matter how great they are and that they die for their hubris for thinking they can even come close to godhood in a cursed way like being turned into a tree or an animal.
****** Nor may I go Norse on them and laugh as the inevitable Ragnarok comes to bring an apocalypse upon all things and the Wizard dies as foretold in the prophecies no matter what he does then new wizards get introduced as the world is reborn
******** May not be an Aztec God DM and demand a sacrifice every time you prepare your spells at dawn.
********* May not be a Cthulhu Mythos God and say that the more spells you acquire, the more your sanity lowers as you learn forbidden knowledge not meant for mere mortals.
********** May not be a Buddhist God DM who causes karmic events to happen for all their shenanigans while demanding that they can only be so magically powerful if they take levels in monk, then makes them ascend to Nirvana and thus lose their individual identity if they get to epic levels.
*********** Or a Shintoist God DM who demands that all wizards have to take levels in samurai for their magical power, and even then you have to negotiate with fickle uncaring alien spirits for your spells to work/to acquire them
************ Finally may not be a Roman God DM who does basically the same thing as the Greek God DM, but you have to be loyal to and worship the Emperor of Rome as a requirement of being a wizard.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
OMG, these are all hilarious. Thanks guys, I needed something like this.
Here are some D&D 3.5 ones, as that's the only TRPG I have experience with.
*My Chameleon may not duplicate summon giants from the Disciple of Thrym list, even though it's a 4th-level spell.
**Or abuse the wording of Shape Soulmeld to get a meld in every slot.
***Or introduce himself as a new character every day, even though you can pull it off with those Incarnate and Binder levels.
****Or use Illumian to get 7th-level spells.
Spoiler: Context
Show
The first three are entirely possible for a well-build Chameleon character.
summon giants is normally an 8th-level Cleric spell, but is also a 4th-level Disciple of Thrym spell.
Soulmelds last a week after they're shaped, so technically you can use the floating bonus feat to shape lots of melds.
Incarnates and Binders can literally swap their entire skillset on a daily basis, which is also the main purpose of Chameleon. One guy said he played a character like that, and it was really fun.
The Illumian sigil thing is a bit iffy even by RAW, but some people do things like that in TO.
Edit: These never happened, but they'd probably get me a metaphorical book in the head. Is that allowed?

If hypotheticals weren't allowed (particularly in responses, but in main entries as well), we wouldn't be on the 11th iteration of the thread. We'd likely be on, like, thread number four or something. Maybe. :smallsmile:

* May not insist that if we were limited to stuff that happened we'd still be on thread one.
** Or that we'd be on thread 29 due to them timing out.
* If, under some circumstance, I'm allowed to play a gnome, I'm not allowed to stick all my skill points in knowledge (engineering), knowledge (architecture), craft (alchemy), craft (metalworking), craft (woodworking), and craft (machinery).
** May not pick the name 'Know Man's.
*** Or Gnome Ann.
**** My home cannot give from the Gnome family. Their first name is not Gno.
** My Fortress of Doom cannot be better than the BBEG's.
*** May not make my Fortress of Doom fly.
**** May not arm it with cannons and bombs.
***** If my reasoning for stopping the big bad is 'I can't take over the world of its destroyed' my gnome is not Lawful good.

either i'm a blabbermouth, or some people seriously need to reign in their "no fun" settings. i've only invented 3 out of my too many entries in these threads. i've translated all of them from french, though, so some have been modified beyond belief to create a working pun or joke.
also helps i'm the token alcoholic/ basket-case/ loony-bin escapee in most of my groups. whaddaya know, i'll invent my 4th ever:
*if my ideas come from watching looney tunes or batman the animated series as a late twenty-something-old, either it's got to have crazy good backstory, or it's banned.
**unless (gods forbid), the team summons edward.
*** the team needs to give 3 sessions notice to the dm to summon edward ever again.

Its less restraining myself and more not having the opportunity really. some of these simply never come up.
* May not troll a past version Princess Celestia twice in one conversation
** Especially not while reviewing all the canonical threats to Equestria in order that occur in her future
*** Especially if the second time is by accident because I forgot that another persons PC was an alicorn.
**** May not troll her if the first time if its revealing to past Celestia that future Celestia brought Discord to be redeemed by Fluttershy in the first place when Past Celestia thinks I'm making it up and that she would never allow that
***** Especially if the first trolling is in revenge for Celestia trolling me by not reacting to my Trollgrape Surprise Soda.
****** The surprise can't be that it tastes horrible.
******* may not rant about starlight Glimmer being worst pony in front of Past Celestia.
All of that however is completely true.
