Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
Well...with the attach special, it works pretty well if you place it right.
Best if it's the person on the other side of the familiar link doing it, though.
*I may not change the setting away from the DM's intention.
**Particularly when using better than modern-day technology in a post-apocalyptic game.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
This reminds me of a character I have...
* My Witch's Weasel familiar should not be the face of the party.
** Even if it can speak common.
*** Even if it does have the highest diplomacy of the party.
**** Especially if said weasel sports a tiny weasel fitted noble's outfit.
* My Witch's Weasel familiar should not have a higher AC than the party fighter.
** A tiny sized chain shirt and light armor proficiency on a weasel IS silly no matter how I play it.
* My Witch's Weasel familiar should not have a higher Stealth than the party Rogue.
** Sneaking into the boss's trousers with a Shocking Grasp is terrible no matter how funny it is or how well it works.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
*Playing a Kobold is a privilege, not a right.
**Especially if said Kobold is Dragonwrought and senile.
***Senility is not a reason why he should be carrying a coloring book and will result in PCs laughing at PC.
****Especially when it is a Power Rangers coloring book
*****Said PC cannot have the life's goal to become a Power Ranger, especially if he is a necromancer.
******Even if it is doable, gathering and animating the bones of five ancient creature just to form and utilize a ritual to combine them will result in every book in the house to be thrown at me.
*******Finding and having group watch the original Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger Megazord video as I say "SKELEZORD SEQUENCE HAS BEEN INITIATED!!" will result in death and RL san loss.
********Mentioning I have no sanity to lose is frowned upon.
*********I am not allowed to base characters off Zack or any other TV-themed PC as long as I to be known as the Power Ranger.
**********I am not allowed to have nice things anymore.
lol, current PC right now. Expecting horrible and gruesome death followed by many facepalming days ahead.

* I may not dominate, mind trick or charm the final boss of the campaign. They're called bosses for a reason.
** May not object when the final boss hears the rumors about me mind controling his minions and prepares some counter-measures.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
I've actually had the "pleasure" of seeing that happen in my group...as an aside, it is a Gnomish War Horn. ...he was all too eager to share the song of his people...
*My characters may no longer out damage te entire rest of the 9-person party over the course of the encounter...repeatedly.
*I may not do so in a single round.
*Having this character be a straight fighter is out. The casters will feel bad.
*Having this character be a halfling isn't any better.
*I may not forget my available class abilities in play, especially if the situation could have really used them.
*this list includes, but is not limited to the following:Detect Evil, Smite Evil, Rage, Rage Powers, Bardic Performance, Mutagen, Channel Energy, Animal Companion, any tactical Feats, any Auras, Bloodline Arcana, and Lay on Hands...Last edited by TheJudicator; 2012-12-17 at 03:09 PM.

This might have been done at some point, but it's been a while so pardon my forgetfulness.
*If the adventure runs past 1:30 a.m. I am not allowed to sing "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain
**When performing services for the would be king, not allowed to create the parody song: "Kingmaker" (based on "Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof)
*** May no longer watch musicals on the eve of an adventure.

* I am no longer allowed to point out that the plot of the campaign up to this point bears a striking resemblance to the plot of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
I may play a Druid
I may be addicted to mushrooms with a hallucinogenic effect.
I may have a Wizard as cousin.
Weird as it is, I may have a hedgehog as an animal companion.
If I choose to use starting gold to build a sleigh, it will be seen as even weirder, but still acceptable.
If I then declare my animal companions name as Sebastian, there will be a dawning look of understanding at the GM's face.
Then mentioning the term Rhosgobel Rabbits, as sleighpullers gets my character attacked by an epic level Necromancer.
If during a Wraith: the Oblivion campaign I get the idea of naming my character Casper, I deserve everything I get (inspiration for this one in a ghost stories topic on this very forum, it deserved to be here)Last edited by Adanedhel; 2012-12-22 at 04:32 PM.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

I am not allowed to turn a Critical Fumble with a Spiked Chain, Kusari-gama, or any other flexible weapon into a daring swinging charge attack.
I am not allowed to grab the chandelier and swing from it, executing a daring swinging charge attack.
I am not allowed to use a whip and the terrain to execute a daring, swinging charge attack.
I am not allowed to use a grappling hook to execute a daring swinging charge attack.
I am not allowed to use the ship's ropes to execute a daring, swinging charge attack.
A critical fumble during a swinging, daring charge attack may not one-shot the BBEG, his lieutenant, or any NPC with a name.
No, I may not shout cheesy one-liners from crappy martial arts films while executing a daring, swinging charge attack.
I may not use Great Cleave while executing my daring, swinging charge, to kill all mooks within reach.
The DM doesn't care if I'm a Swashbuckler specialized in fighting unarmed; daring, swinging charge attacks are no longer permitted to me under any circumstances.Last edited by Techwarrior; 2012-12-22 at 07:53 PM.

**Not allowed to invent guns.
**Not allowed to invent gunpowder.
***Not allowed to go on an epic quest with the sole intent of finding this world's equivalent of China so you can find the recipe for gunpowder.
****If at any point in the campaign, gunpowder is discovered, I can expect incoming missiles made from dead trees.
*****Yes, all of the above applies to Napalm as well.I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!
Currently, we're playing through New Vegas as Gabriel de la Cruz, merchant and mercenary extraordinaire!

Pointing out that I am immune to Fire will make these missiles be powered by divine energy, thus bypassing my AC, Fire immunity, Saves, and any countermeasures I have available.

Quoting Apocalypse Now will not earn you any brownie points, and will in fact result in you being dragged shrieking into the void by an eldritch horror. No saving roll.

*I also cannot refuse a proposal of marriage from a powerful vampire living in the underdark.
**If I do, I will have to roll will saves until I fail one.
***Even when leaving the underdark, I have to tell him I need time to think about his offer.

* If anything I do would get anyone at the table to say "dear god why?" and not because it's a stupid action, is automatically vetoed.
** Even in a chaotic evi monsters game.
*** This now extends to "dear god why?"s caused by stupidity.
**** Even if in character, even if due to low int.
***** Same goes for when DMing.
****** Additional phrases include: "Wait.... What!?", "What in the name of-" "Why in the name of-" and "Please tell me your high."

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
This is a list of things I have been told I'm not allowed to do in the Pathfinder Campaign that I play, and a couple of others from different campaigns thrown in too.
- No longer allowed to nickname the entire party.
- No longer allowed to use grease to slide explosives past the range the DM allows them to be thrown.
- No longer allowed to roll explosives to get them past the range the DM allows them to be thrown.
- No longer allowed to use Mage Hand throw explosives past the range the DM allows for them to be thrown.
- No longer allowed to use Fireball to ignite Grease.
- Even if you saw it work while playing Dragon Age.
- No longer allowed to encourage the DM to drink hard liquor after you managed to get the party throwing your Arcane Trickster up a 40ft vertical sheer wall past the DM.
- No longer allowed to roll perception to see if horses have Cutie Marks.
- No longer allowed to ask the Paladin is his mount has a Cutie Mark.
- The party is called "The Dragonriders" not the "Cutie Mark Crusaders".

- Even if it works in context.
- Not allowed to make the Monk my Arcane Familiar.
- Even if she is a dumb as Elan.
- The only reason NPCs aren't angry that you abuse Sleight of Hand to get away with paying less than you should is because the opposed Perception rolls have been terrible, you WILL eventually mess up a Sleight of Hand roll and you shouldn't brag to the party about it.
- Not allowed to hold a die and roll it while yelling "I perception the corpse!" to be the first to loot the nearest corpse at the end of combat.
- Not allowed to do the above during combat either.

- No longer allowed to play the Final Fantasy "Victory Fanfare" on my phone after we win the final encounter of a dungeon.
- The Dwarf is a Cleric of Irori, not your personal pack mule.
- Nor is he your personal arrow fixer, prepare that spell yourself next time you want arrows fixed.
- Not allowed to yell "I literally died to save your ass!" at the NPCs of the Dwarven Citadel the party saved after they resurrected you for free.
- Not allowed to abuse the above fact to get discounts at stores.
- Not allowed to abuse your hero staus and offer to declare "I'm Lili Fastpaws and this is my favourite store in the Citadel!" to get store discounts.
- The Paladin is not called "Kalad Jenkins".
- Not allowed to use a Drill as an Improvised Weapon.
- If the thought of any plan makes me giggle for more than 15 seconds then I'm not allowed to suggest it.
- You're Chaotic Good, not Chaotic Good(ish).
- Not allowed to yell "Arise Chicken! Chicken Arise!" when someone is healed back to positive HP (The Cleric was actually told this but it was too funny not to include).
