Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
Would be better if it were:
I cannot have flaw: Speech Impediment (Haiku). Nor A Compulsion.
- I will not create flow charts that catagorize the GM's NPCs.
- I will not fix those flow charts so that all NPCs end up in the catagory "Mary Sue"
- I will not encourage the party to form a line and make choo-choo noises when we think that the GM is railroading us back to the important plot point.

**My character may not be introduced as "[character's name] Starring as ..."

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
As DM, my puzzles may not involve haiku, particularly if the answer is the only three lines that aren't actually a haiku.
My answers to divinations may not involve limericks.
Just because the spell description says I can give a 'cryptic response' doesn't mean I should.
Particularly if the response is a poem.
I am to ask someone else to write mypoemsanswers to divinations and puzzles. Mine are "too hard."Avatar courtesy of Ceika.

*A building with a sign on it that says STAY OUT in big red letters should not be the party's first point of interest in a populated area.
**Make that any area.
***Not even if the party needs a place to live.
****Not even if it has a fish tank for our pet eel.
*****Checking the secret hidden basement is especially not recommended.
******Claiming a place by right of conquest does not make you any less of a squatter if you don't own the place.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
You realize that if enough of the doors so captioned are vigorously trapped and lead to very bad things (which may or may not include little-to-no loot) that the pavlov effect will eventually take hold.
It can be tricky to breed just the right ammount of paranoia in players, but if you can manage not to go overboard it's well worth the effortI am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
* I should not urinate on a statue of a chaotic evil god that is crackling with red lightning.
** Even if I swear the DM said there was red LIGHTING, not lightning. It's still a bad idea.
*** I deserve everything I get if I manage to blow up the BBEG just before he starts his monologue.
This is for one of my players.
* Not allowed to own a sap.
** Not allowed to take the Sap Mastery feats in Pathfinder.
*** Not allowed to craft a throwing/returning human bane sap from a humans nether regions.
**** Not allowed to run around throwing said sap at people while laughing maniacly.

* I may not use 'charm' 'dominate' or the likes to control the BBEG's entire fort's garrison
** I should not be surprised when the DM gives him an ability that kills them all
*** I'm not allowed to use this as justification to have a plan to kill the entire party
**** Even if it fits with my Lawful Evil douche of a characterI'M NOT CRAZY!!
I just find sanity a rather dull affair

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
*Singing a cheery song in/out of character in various characters and party roles is slightly odd.
**Singing them in foreign languages is even odder.
***I will quietly leave when my group finds out I have been chanting oaths of bloodshed and ruin to the tune of "Tomorrow" for the past year, and I will not expect to be invited back.
****There is nothing 'conversational' about the Egyptian I know.
*****Stop picking up girls with "sweet phrases about their eyes".
******If everyone glances at me when a IRL crime is shown on the news, I may not pretend to be indignant.

******* Conversely, if the evil wizard's ritual involves chanting "Mica, Mica, Parva Stella! Miror Quaenam Sis Tam Bella! Splendens Eminus In Illo! Alba Velut Gamma Caelo! (etc.)" the players have the right to throw books.
SpoilerFor those who don't speak Latin, this translates roughly to "Twinkle, twinkle little star! How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high! Like a diamond in the sky!Awesome avatar by I♥P&P!
