    --I may not do experiments on party members
    --I especially may not reverse-engineer my warforged party members so I can build more of them.
    --I may not sell them as weapons to governments, either.
    --I may not do the above with golems, either.
    --I can not get around that rule by selling only the golems "services", not the actual golem.
    --I can not make these golems just kill and replace the entire party.
    --I can not cut deals with monsters in dungeons to help them rebuild the ancient magics rather than destroying them with the rest of the party.

    Coordinater advanced class focused on seduction. Fairly balanced except for being able to make disguises that there is no check for disbelieving. IrnBruAdict is going to play one in a game that we're setting up after a very quick TPK earlier in the game's continuity. I don't know if I'll get yelled at for linking it in my post.

    * I may no longer create a dungeon that is full of yogurt.

    * I may no longer create a dungeon with a lumpy floor for the express purpose of ordering my minions to jump up and down in order to flatten it.

    * I may no longer create a dungeon that exists on an incline so that my creatures cannot play marbles.

    (props to those who get the above references)

    * I will not trick one of the party members into eating a gelatinous cube by filling it with red dye and claiming it is a massive jello mould I made.

    * If I know one of the players does not know what a gazebo is, I will not allow them to remain ignorant if they try to attack one, no matter how funny.

    * I am no longer allowed to use logic or other forms of persuasion to trick various magical guardians out of their soul gems or cause them to commit suicide, thus preventing the party from gaining combat XP. (Actually happened once!)

    * I am no longer allowed to trick the party into thinking I am their new best friend while being, in actuality, the BBEG they will eventually be set against.

    ** If I am somehow allowed to be the BBEG, I will not trick the party into locating and retrieving the artifacts of power I need to become a greater deity.

    *** I am also not allowed to be the Dragon of the BBEG to fulfill the same objectives listed above.

    * I am also not allowed to use cunning or charisma to overthrow any of the current governmental structures in place, even if they are evil or tyrannic, in order to set up my own empire.

    * I am no longer allowed to play any character with an Intelligence or Charisma score higher than 11.

    * If I survive holding off enemies so my friends can escape, then it's not heroic sacrifice, it's stealing the EXP.

    *I cannot Iron Heart Surge the Chunky Salsa Rule.

    *No more playing Elemental Kiths so that I can shape iron without using technology or manmade fire.

    **If I still somehow manage to do that, no using my powers to give the entire party cold iron buckshot to use against the fae.

    *The next character I make who legitimately earns a nickname with the word 'Dakka' in it will have many more enemies sent after him.

    **No, that is not an opportunity to flechette a dragon's face off on live television.

    ***Or a greater daemon's.

    ****Okay, no more flechette guns.

    *****Or shotguns.

    *No more dungeon wildlife sanctuaries. The DM is pretty sure owlbear's aren't endangered. Gelatinous cubes, either.

    *Inventing rock music and high explosive grenade launchers is not allowed.

    *No more taming gazebos.

    *'Brushfire Johnson' is no longer an acceptable concept. Cowboys and flamethrowers don't mix all that well.

    Largely from GURPS

    *Any plan reliant upon spontaneous combustion is immediately vetoed.

    *Not allowed to beg demons to eat the rest of the party and spare me

    *Not allowed to beg dragons to eat the rest of the party and spare me

    *Not allowed to beg goblins to eat the rest of the party and spare me

    *Not allowed to beg any NPC to eat the rest of the party and spare me

    *No longer allowed to speak to NPCs

    *Nuking a site repeatedly from orbit and claiming the crater is not the same as securing it

    *Not allowed to rent out the dungeons we clear for additional income

    *Throwing a banana at the bandit warlord is funny the first time. And only the first time

    *The wizard is not an acceptable shield

    *Using leadership to lead a huge horde of weak NPCs is fine. Using them to soak up all the enemies ammo is not.

    * When told to make a character based off of my favorite videogame character, I am not allowed to base the character off my Princess Maker 2 daughter who got the "Prostitute" ending.

    * If I am a succubus, I am not allowed to whore myself out then loot the corpses.

    * If I am a succubus, I am not allowed to use my suggestion power to make people ravish me, then sue for "damages".

    * If I am succubus, I am above level 12, and therefore have better ways to make money then working on the street corners.

    * I am not allowed to open a brothel in response to that last comment.

    * No more playing succubi, the DM needs to recover

    ~Next week~

    * If I was banned from playing succubi, I am also banned from playing Pleasure Devils.

    (Yes I play a LOT of seductive characters, and Yes every one of these has popped up at least once)
