Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
If I am playing the Barbarian, I may never solve any of the puzzles set by the DM.
I especially cannot solve ALL of the puzzles.
This extends to any character with a Wisdom that is less than 10.
From now on I must play Wisdom based characters.Avatar courtesy of Ceika.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Shut up and take my decanter of endless money!
** I may not play 50 bards that are useless to the party.
*** Becoming a pile of corpses large enough to grant total cover does not count as being useful.
** Having them pool their respective companions into 1 lv 20 companion is just rude.

*While subverting the Vestenmannavanjar stereotype of big, clever, fierce berserkers is fun and even encouraged, may not subvert all of them at once.
*May not speak with an outrageously faux-Norwegian accent.
*Especially not if this causes the other players to accidentally slip into the accent.
*Everythings am NOT hards for Marilli- oh DAMMIT!
*If the Bearsark advantage is purchased, the party must be informed, and it must be used more than once in the campaign in a situation BESIDES brutally murdering a random rude civilian.
*I gets it, you made an expy! Whats do you want, a be-able-to-makes-expy's awards!?
*Chickens am nots a candy.

-The verbal component for the spell "Hideous Laughter" is not "So a ranger, a wizard and a barbarian walk into a bar..."

* Cannot ban Unarmed Swordsage just because I think the name's f@#$ing stupid.
* If I change the name of every single maneuver to something I can say with straight face I must write both names down.

*If, after explaining a character concept, the DM doesn't say anything within three seconds (laughter is not speech), I don't get to play it.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Objections to my most recent character, a level 1 archery-based fighter:
* The best place for a meatshield is NOT at the exact boundary of the point-blank shot feat.
** If the rest of the party almost dies by the end of the module, and I don't take a single HP of damage ever, something is wrong.
** Rogues are entitled to a flanker of they whine loud enough.
** No longer allowed to have rapid shot AND precise shot at 1st level (may have mentioned this already).
*** Not allowed to use this to one-shot (well, two-shot) a DR 5/slashing, 8 HP monster, without at least critting. It makes the DM cry.
** I am required to lose initiative at least once, even if it is to a party member.
* I am to stop arguing and admit that my character is paranoid already.
** I am not to automatically assume that The Enemy is the kindly priest that hired us to retrieve the religious artifact.
** My skillset should be broader than "killing things". Also, my employment history. Yes, people count as things.
*** The Enemy does not have my money, and I am never again to say that -- or anything else -- with the same measure of wide-eyed lunacy.
**** No, wait, the priest DOES have my money, and he IS planning to pay us, he just isn't the enemy!
***** PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN DAMMIT!
****** The intimidate skill does NOT work on party members, and I DO have to roll a die to use it, regardless of how this particular episode seems to have played out.I'm not an evil GM! Honest!

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
* I may not ask the other PCs perfectly innocent questions that nonetheless require their players to invent backstory details on the spot.
** Especially not if said questions also expose holes in the opening premise of the campaign.

***When making up backstory on the spot I may not intentionally expose holes in the opening of the campaign.
*I may not make "invented gunpowder" a part of my backstory just so I can use gunpowder.
**This goes double for nukes
***"Invented bacon" does not make me a god.Many thanks to Ceika for my Avatar

* When the DM hints heavily that stepping on the obviously marked staircase will lead to death, may not go and pick up a copper my gnome bard tossed on it to check for traps.
*May not proceed to roll up an Elf Swashbuckler just to do it again.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
* I may not invent Gods and found autonomous cults to worship them solely for the purpose of later hunting down and killing said Gods.
** No, not even Evil ones.
* If the GM is reciting a riddle that we must find the answer to in order to progress in the plot, at the very least I am to let him finish the question before giving the correct answer.
** The plot will not progress if the GM asks a riddle and I give an answer that is correct in every detail EXCEPT that it was not the specific one that the GM was expecting.
** ESPECIALLY if my answer was more sensible, in character or genre appropriate than the actual answer.~ CAUTION: May Contain Weasels ~

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
*** Under no conditions, ever, may I make a deity with the portfolio of deific inconsistency, impossibility, and paradox.
**** This rule applies retroactively to the beginning of time.
***** My not being able to create it, ever, does NOT mean that I thus automatically create it. Why? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A LOGICAL PARA-... dammit.
*** Neither as DM nor as PC am I allowed to set up a series of traps with riddle keys, where the "correct" answer to the riddle is counted as incorrect, and the actual response that bypasses the trap is something gibberish like "Heeby Jeebies".
**** Even if this is the smart way to do it for a character with good memory and my wizard has 21 int by this point.I'm not an evil GM! Honest!

***** A random string of characters is right out.
****** Using my players' actual passwords to anything is a good way to learn just how annoyed my players can get.
******* Key loggers are not toys. I am not to install them on other people's machines.
* Basing a character on Teddy Roosevelt is okay. Basing a character on cousin Teddy from "Arsenic and Old Lace" is not.
