    *Not allowed to cast Silent Still Blasphemy and blame it on the Druid's animal companion.
    *There is no such thing as a Dire Skunk, and even if there were, it would be in bad taste to polymorph the cleric into one.
    **I'm not allowed to argue that the cleric's been walking around in full-plate for a week and thus actually smells better as a result of this.
    *Casting Fell Drain Fireball at a flock of pidgeons will incinerate them, not animate them as pidgeonwights.
    **Even if I apply the Subdual Substitution metamagic to it.
    ***There is no conceivable way for me to get pidgeonwights, so stop asking.
    *If playing a necromancer, not allowed to start giggling maniacally when asked if anyone can raise the dead.

    On an unrelated note, the Age of Metal would be a fantastic D&D setting. There is also the fact that Brutal Legend was way too short...

    OK, it's decided. Brutal Legend will be converted to D&D. *Runs to homebrew thread*

    PS, Eddie Riggs would probably be a Bardsader or Bardbarian.

    * If my wizard is wearing blue robes covered in runes, mystical, exotic amulets and rings, large, pointy hat and pair of glasses ahd has a large beard and carries a huge spellbook and magic staff, I'm no longer allowed to complain that every single enemy with more that two points in Int tries to kill me first.
    ** No longer allowed to complain everybody can tell in great detail how they guy throwi fireballs around looks like either.
    *** Both extend to any kind of caster who looks distinguish.
    * If I step foward and throw a spell I'm going to assume every single enemy will try to stop me from doing that again.
    * If the GM uses enemy wizards dressed like normal guys and throwing spells from behind a cover, he is trying to give me a hint, not screw the party over.

    *Yes. The joke where you cast Glitterdust on the vampire was funny once. It does not bear repeating.
    *Casting Bounce on the Dragoon's armor, while hilarious, only works once.
    **Said Dragoon would like me to know that, if it happens again, I will be stabbed.
    ***Using said spell to turn the Throne Room into a bounce house is not going to earn me any brownie points with the king.
    *Contrary to what my wizard insists, there is, in fact, a situation in which casting Bounce is frowned upon. In fact, there are a great many.
    **Combining Bounce with Grease is right out.
    ***I am henceforth forbidden from researching the custom spell Bounce, or any spell with similar effects.
    ****No longer allowed to research my own spells. Ever.

    * Do not threaten the shop keeper who is offering to enchant your weapon.
    ** Especially if that threat involves bodily harm to the shopkeeper.
    *** This goes double after you've already handed the weapon over so they could inspect it.
    **** Even if the shopkeeper decides to enchant it at a discount after said intimidation, I shouldn't be surprised when the weapon comes back cursed instead of enchanted.

    that's what's said, yes. My experience has been that the creators are very sensitive and take it personally when you do. Not always, no, but quite often.

    *I will remember, in the future, that Grafts are a privelige, not a right.
    *No, the verbal components for Animate Objects do not involve a musical number.
    *Taking a fallen opponent's skull is, while frowned upon, not terribly odd. There are worse trophies to take. Immediately casting Animate Dead and Permanencied Levitate on it and naming the resultant creature my familiar, however, is very frowned upon.
    **Awakening my newfound 'familiar' is extremely so.
    ***Giving the skull a wisecracking personality and naming him Murray is right out.
    ****Fine, I can name him Murray. The DM will not allow me to run around his campaign with a familiar named 'Skull****y'.
    *I am not to be offended when an enemy Paladin doesn't laugh at Murray's jokes.
    **No, casting Hideous Laughter on him as a response to this is not funny either.

    *Not allowed to poke fun at my fellow Runner's abysmal accent.
    **Even if it's impossible to tell whether his character is supposed to be German, Russian, or Middle Eastern.
    *There is literally no conceivable reason for my character to start the campaign with 100 Gallons of Nano-paste in his wardrobe.

    *No matter what the dice say or how many Righteous Furies I just rolled, I can't decapitate Galgaliel with a thrown Progressive Knife.
    *An A.T. Tactician's purpose is to Neutralize the A.T. Field while the rest of the party mops up. Not to solo the world-killing abominations.
    *No, there is no such thing as Positron Cannon Tag, and even if there were, I would be court-martialed for playing it.
    *Just because two of the other Eva Pilots have the Manufactured background and the Replaceable trait, I'm not allowed to argue that using them for cannon fodder is acceptable.

    *Yes. A god of music riding a hot pink chocobo at Mach 1 across the plains does, in fact, draw attention. In fact, it draws a great deal of attention.

    Isn't 'int-based fighter' a method of suicide to begin with?

    * My multiple-personality wizard is not allowed to be the campaign villain (even when they are).
    * Clerics that I play are not allowed to claim that they are more dangerous than their deity (even and especially when they are).
    * If I somehow find myself in the position of being the party's ethical compass, I cannot roleplay a slow descent into PTSD and madness (this goes double if I am also the IC leader of the party).
    * My position as the party face is not an excuse to persuade succubi to sleep with characters I don't like.
    - Especially not if the whole idea is to tell him/her/it, "Take just a little, I want him to remember not to mess with my stuff."
    * "Don't break the loot!" is not acceptable as an in-character statement (even when it is).
