    As a female halfling dragoon fighter...

    *I may not out-intimidate the half orc samurai. It hurts his feelings
    *I may not team up with a Tengu dragonrider solely to gain free use of a mount and free rides places.
    *I may not tell the male members of the party to "grow a set" when approached by an overpowering force.

    *I may not use the Leaping Lance feature to make a leaping charge from over 600 feet in the air on top of my target.
    *adding in a long length of chain and have the aforementioned dragonrider effectively "slingshot" me in is right out.
    *crunching out the mounted charge damage and the added impact damage, plus the dragon's damage for technically also throwing me, will result in lost lunches and requests for soda money.
    *Realizing that this move effectively combines the "throw the halfling" and "orbital strike" tactics discussed in theory all the time does not make it okay. Only awesome.

    * I may not make my players to worried to act in a room with three doors for fear that one of them will kill them if all three are entierly untrapped and in fact lead to special fun stuff

    The BBEG's plan may not involve Decanters of Endless Water in any way.
    No, especially not if the plan also involves bunnies.
    The BBEG may not create the custom item Decanter of Endless Lava.
    I am not allowed to use Decanters of Endless anythings.
    No, not even Decanters of Endless Fluffy Bunnies, nor Decan'ters of Endless Pizza.
    Especially if I can't get the evil grin off of my face when I say it, due to the evil plan I have for it.
