*Just because as a Goliath your Great Crossbow does 3d8 damage and almost weighs as much as the elf does not make it "effectively a Ballista".
**Just because you crit with it doesn't mean that that gnome "circumnavigated the globe".
***Just because the Wizard cast Persistent Greater Enlarge Person on you, doesn't means a Ballista is "effectively a Hand Crossbow".
****Or that that watchtower is "effectively a warmace".
*Just because your epic level Knight gets Loyal Beyond Death, doesn't mean your -364 HP walking corpse can continue on a mad quest to avenge the party.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
*If I'm playing a cleric and the party rogue needs healing in the middle of combat the proper response is not to throw him in my bag of holding so I can deal with him later.
**Nor is it to throw him into my portable hole.
***If I throw him into my bag of holding while conveniently forgetting he is carrying his portable hole I am not to be surprised when we both get sucked into the Astral Plane and are surrounded by angry natives.
****If I throw him into my portable hole while he is carrying his bag of holding I am not to be surprised when he comes back as a major deity leading an army of millions of said natives bent on my destruction.
*You know what, how about you just heal yourself.

* If it annoys me that one of my PCs keeps referring to his manhood as his "Bag of Holding" I am to respond in a mature and polite manner.
** Even when he hits on female NPCs by asking if he can get inside her "Portable Hole."
*** Allowing him to have sex with one of these NPCs and then castrating him with a resulting rift into the astral plane is neither mature nor polite.

I may no longer use more than high school level chemistry while making decisions on how things interact with the world.
I may also not use physics higher than you would find in a fifth grade science text while making such decisions.Avatar courtesy of Ceika.

Any time I wish to incorporate real world science into fantasy planning, I must be able to demonstrate the science in front of the group.
If this takes longer than six seconds, it is over a full round action, and provokes attacks of opportunity.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Yes. I would think that's the simplest accurate answer to that question.
Most people see a half orc and and think barbarian warrior. Me on the other hand? I think secondary trap handler and magic item tester. Also I'm not allowed to trick the next level one wizard into starting a fist fight with a house cat no matter how annoying he is.
Yes I know it's sarcasm. It's a joke. Pale green is for snarking

So, if I need to demonstrate that a lightning bolt does indeed turn water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, do I need to acquire a river and a lightning bolt in those 6 seconds? Or are the 6 seconds only after acquiring all materials my PC already has?
Or do you mean explaining the theory? In such a case, up to how technical can I get?

I believe he's not requiring all scientific theories from being expressed inside of six seconds, so much as capping how much jargon and theoretical planning one can fit into a conversation with fellow team-mates while also avoiding getting Inez's face chewed off by assorted gribblies.

*I may no longer collapse an entire mountain on a dragon's head with a couple hundred gallons of oil and a 7th-level wizard.
**I am definitely not allowed to quote Heath Ledger's Joker afterwards.
*My solution to destroying an entire enemy fleet should not be intricately designing the magi-punk equivalent of Dreadnought.
*My solution to killing the king should not be preempted by me designing the world's first IED.
*I am no longer allowed to use anything in game that I have drawn schematics for.
*I am no longer allowed to utter the words "I have a cunning plan". Ever.

* BBEG does not get villain song to explain his motives
** He doesn't summon a rock band from other time to perform it
*** If that song is Sabaton's We Burn or Carolus Rex I'm buying everybody a beer.
*** Megadeath's Prince Of Darkness isn't a good way to reveal the bad guy is really the Devil himself.
* Genies aren't fans of metaphors
** I'm about to stop calling Gm a killer for that time my bard asked for "heart of fire and nerves of steel".
High five if you get the refference in that last one.
