I know that this is not enough, I also know that the look on the dm's face when the party artificer did just that justified me keeping my mouth shut about what I do know about physics.

    For the record I do not claim to know more than the basics of how a fusion bomb works. Nor do I claim to be capable of building one. If I were capable, I would not be discussing it on an internet forum anyway for fear that the black helicopters would descend on my house

    *I may not become king
    *if I do become king I may not make the official written language of my kingdom be Explosive Runes, even though this would result in much less paperwork.
    *I might hold a degree in mechanical engineering in real life, my barbarian does not, as such he may not engineer solutions to every problem encountered.
    *A cannon is not a "wheeled lockpick"
    *If asked for my invitation to a party that I was not invited to my response cannot be to blow up the building.

    *If despite all of my lawbreaking the town guard refuses to attempt to arrest me due to the fear of what I did to the last set of guards to try it, my alignment will be set at chaotic evil.

    *the folowing shows are no longer permitted to influence my charecter:

    * I must stop referencing other works

    *my character may not have a catchphrase

    *My bard may never again say this line or any variation therof, "What do you mean violence isn't the answer? I find two things wrong with that statment, the negative and the grammar. Of course violins are the answer." (folowed by hitting the BBEG over the head with a violin)

    My dwarves must stop speaking in German accents.
    Elves do not all sound like gay Brits.
    The PC elf in the party does not count for this count
    Catfolk do not speak with a French accent.
    Goblinoids do not all speak like Scottish pirates.
    Kobolds do not have Australian accents.

    I am no longer allowed to do voices while DM'ing.

    Also, swapping languages because I know the party didn't know the language is rude. Particularly if I do so more than three times a sentence

    *My character's ethos cannot be "because I'm a prick."
    ** Not even if he's NE.
    ***The best use of my standard action is not "to screw over as many people as possible."

    *I cannot use Alter Self to trick the Paladin into sleeping with me.
    **Especially if he's conservative
    ***If said Paladin refuses to enter conjugal relations before marriage, I may not devote all my effort to tricking him into marrying me.
    ****If I do break the above rules, my overall goal is not to make him fall.
    *****If this results in my death, I deserve everything I get.
    *****+If the (ex)Paladin failed to see through a plan that spent five minutes in the sun on a hot day and got called dinner, he deserves everything he got.
    ******If anyone understands the above idiom, they deserve a cookie.

    * I must have "Common" (English) as a known language, even if I could proficiently speak an entire game of D&D in another language
    ** Having this proficiency means you have to use it

    ** Extended to other constructs as well
    * Just because the game is "non-serious" or "just for laughs" doesn't mean you can make a monk who's only form of combat is removing clothing from all enemies in order to humiliate them
    * Having a fighter who is "suspicious of magic" doesn't allow you to threaten to kill every caster in the party whenever they cast a spell
    ** I am no longer allowed to cause lethal damage to my fellow party members (without reasonable cause)
    *** Reasonable cause is now up to a vote put solely to the entire party
