    There is something similar though. It's out of the Cityscape book. Cess Ooze or something.
    Still not acceptable as a paladin mount though.

    What about when going to a Dragon convention?

    1527: Under no circumstances will I play the I'm not touching you game with the paladin.

    1529: An unarmed strike Death Attack is not the Vulcan Death Grip.
    1530: There is no cleric spell called "Inflict Stabbity Wounds." Just wield a piercing weapon like everybody else.
    1531: I am not to name a Clouting gauntlet "Bitch-slaper."
    1532: Just because the cleric died of food alergies the last time the party ate pie, and the creepy painting's subject is wearing clothes that seem to have been used in demonic rituals involving pie, does not mean pie is Evil.
    1533: Paladin cannot, therefore, use Detect Evil to find some quickly when they raid someone's pantry.
    1534: It also does not change the taste if they waste a Smite Evil to eat it.
    1535: It is no easier to cut pie with a holy dagger then with a normal dagger with the same enhancment bonus.

    1537. I am not, under any circumstances, to use the Polymorph spell to teach anyone what "Doggy Style" really is.
    1538. Actually, I am not allowed to use Polymorph at all anymore.
    1539. Or Baleful Polymorph.
    1540. Ever. No, not then either. Even if that happens.

    1541- Sleight of hand will let you attempt to steal many things. However, it may NOT be used to attempt to steal the soul out of anyone.
    1542- Not even at a -100. I don't care if you actually manage that.
    Do not meddle in the affairs of adventurers, for you are expendable and full of EXP.

    Sorry. Forgot a few.

    1543. No matter how high I get my handle animal, I am not allowed to try to tame and mount the Tarrasque.
    1544. If I must try, offering the other PCs as a sacrificial gift is in bad taste.
    1545. Even if I can subdue and prepare them.

    1547: The game's soundtrack does not include Bon Jovi.
    1548: We are not halfway there. The cleric does not have any reasons for casting "Prayer."
    1549: Telling a succubus that she "gives love a bad name" is not exactly forbidden, but it is in poor taste. Besides, she'll take it as a compliment.
    1550: "It's my life, and it's now or never" is not a good enough excuse to singlehandedly assault a god.
    1551: No, there will not be any subterranean worm monsters in this adventure. And I don't even know where that came from, that was Kevin Bacon, you uncultured rube.

    1552: The practice of causing magic items to bitch-slap people who attempt to abuse their intended function is either prohibited or encouraged.
    1553: Telling me which one is definately prohibited
    1554: If, upon learning Wall of Iron, the DM calls for an easy Knowledge(religion) check, which reveals the existance of a previously unknown deity of economics, it is safe to assume that the Wall of Iron abuse is a bad idea.

    1555. Impromptu, makeshift, or any other word meaning the same thing cannot appear before or with the word "weapon" in any sentence of mine anymore.
    1556. I am no longer allowed to play a blind character to say "If I can't see it, it can't hurt me!".
    1557. As a DM, it is in bad taste to name monsters or expendable NPCs after any of the PCs.
    1558. It is also in bad taste to name the previously mentioned characters after thier significant others and/or friends, pets, teachers, or anyone I or they know vaguely.
    1559. If I do name in that way, I deserve what I get.
    1560. At no time is it acceptable to buy rope meerly to tie random things to other things in town.
    1561. If I do, the guards should not be greeted with tea and cookies. Especially if they are laced with any poison whatsoever.

    No no no. In true D&D tradition, you have to have their names backwards, so it would be Htims and Xram.

    1564: I will not play as a nine year old girl when playing a shapeshifting race, especially not when there is a succubus in the party.
    1565: I will not play a succubus when there is a nine year old girl in the party.
    1566: Asking the DM to go to the least obtrusive magic shop in Palanthas, merely so that I might seduce the shop keep, is a sure way to meet Jenna of the Red Robes.
    1567: I should not be surprised when none of powers work on her.
    1568: Nor should I then run through town activating my "Every one get busy" ability.
    1569: Yes, the illusions created by the mage twins are immune to the above ability. I should just enjoy it.
    1570: Even if it is the end of the semester, the DM should avoid using materials from the Erosnomicon.
    1571: So should the players.
    1572: If my fighter is doing more damage then the mage at level 12, one of us is doing something wrong, and it is probably my fighter.
    1573: If the vampire ever accuses my Monkey Gripping Duel Wielding Hasted Fighter of being broken, he should wait until after the druid's bugs get finished with the half dragons.
    1574: Surprisingly, invading a NG empire while flying pirate flags is in fact a rather simple way to meet the local duke and acquire a pirate hunting license.
    1575: We probably should go back and investigate the papers we took from those goblin pirates at level 1...
    1576: No, the red bugs are not explosive.
    1577: They should not be used as ballista ammo.
    1578: The orange bugs are not gatling guns.
    1579: Nor should they be used to repel boarders.
    1580: Capturing servants with a undead red dragon skeleton is probably not a good way to start interrogations.
    1581: Especially not when the druid is burning down the mansion.
    1582: Doubly so when in Waterdeep.
    1583: It seems awakened wolves don't gain an immunity to fire.
    1584: When entering possibley hostile territory we should leave behind our duids, sorcerers, gnomes, vampires, demons, gnome airforce, evil dragons, good dragons, seagull airforce, raven airforce, artifacts of evil doom, undead, war ships, long ships, air craft carriers, submarines, and just about everything else.
    1585: The best way to meet new nations is to leave the dwarf adrift in his row boat.
    1586: Though he should probably refrain about how he plans on conquering the dwarven kingdom.
    1587: Forgetting you character's backstory quest is generally a bad idea.
    1588: The gnome is not allowed to try Use Magic Device on the air.
    1589: Nor bottle it when it works.
    1590: The gnome may not try Use Magic Device on the dragons.
    1591: Or on the villains.
    1592: Baleful Polymorphing a Megalatroll into a kitten doesn't cause it to lose any of it's physical ability scores or abilities. It does gain a rake attack though.
    1593: Dropping the Megalakitten on an enemy who dispels all magic with in five feet of himself is hilarious.
    1594: Teleport at will should not be given an animal companion.

    1644. Apples cannot travel an infinite amount of distance in 6 seconds, even if the rules say so and there's a long line of people to go through with it.
    1645. Touch of Idiocy is a useful tool against foes, but not friends, especially wizard friends trying to cast finger of death on the BBEG.
    1646. No asking the dragon if he'll be your 'horsey'.
    1647. Even if your character's Int score is 4 or lower.
    1648. When the dragon refuses it is considered a bad idea to try mounting it anyway.
    1649. No matter how 'adorable' they are, you cannot have a dretch or lemure familiar.
    1650. It is considered to be in bad taste to use Time Stop just to urinate on enemies.

    but the spell says something about not being able to do damage while time is stopped, so thats the next best thing. i think.

    True, but if you use time stop, urinate on your foes, stand back, buff yourself a little and time restarts that's just fine. But time stop for purely urinary purpouses usually makes the next room occupied by Demogorgon, and he's supernaturally immune to timestop. Well, depending on the sense of humor of your DM.
