1187) Elf is not "the other white meat"
1188) Nor is the flesh of any other sapient species.
1189) Especially not dwarf.
1190) The wearbear is definitely not driving.
1191) Invoking rule 1190 does not mean the halfling gets to drive, either.Mandible Bones, the Worst Pirate Ever.

1192- there will be no interaction between the DM and the barbarian involving suggestive material
1193- ...even if the character the DM is currently being is a sex-fiend of the opposite gender of the DM
1194-...ESPECIALLY if the DM is good at acting (shiver).
1195- i dont care what your motivation, if you save an orphan it will hug you
1196- and it does not provide an attack of opportunity
1197- and returning the hug does not result in a grapple check
1198- nor can you use it to crush the orphan to death.
1199- Riddick is not a playable class
1200- neither is he a race
1201- being a bald humanoid with supperior streangth, dex, and nightvision does not make you automaticly provicient with tea cups.
1202- if your alignment is good, you cannot cut someones heart out with a teacup in a barfight

Re: Things I'm Not Allowed To Do While Gaming
I wasn't the DM at the time. The person DMing loved creative spell mixes, so he allowed it that time. Until the party pointed out they were standing on top of the thing to try to avoid the tail sweep...
We lost three people that fight. Two from the lightning bolt, and one from the annoyed party members after the fight. (This wasn't the first time he'd tried to kill us...)

Re: Things I'm Not Allowed To Do While Gaming
<screaming catgirl in the distance> [Added at the request of Khantalas]
From the SRD...
This spell generates wholesome, drinkable water, just like clean rain water. Water can be created in an area as small as will actually contain the liquid, or in an area three times as large—possibly creating a downpour or filling many small receptacles.Last edited by Zeb The Troll; 2006-12-28 at 06:17 AM.

Re: Things I'm Not Allowed To Do While Gaming
But there was a spell that creates pure water. I'm sure of it.
It may not be Create Water, but it's out there somewhere.

Re: Things I'm Not Allowed To Do While Gaming
(Side note for the catgirl: Drinkable water is not de-ionized. If you drink de-ionized, de-mineralized, etc etc, pure H2O, you'll get sick.)
1272. May not sew one's severed hands back with one's mouth. Especially if he doesn't have any ranks in profession (sewing), nor has a needle.
1273. After being exiled is is considered bad manners to stick your tongue out to the jury.
1274. These two goes double if you made your good-aligned ranger attack the respected archdruid of your forest.Last edited by amanodel; 2006-12-28 at 09:48 AM.

Re: Things I'm Not Allowed To Do While Gaming
Of course, as someone else pointed out, if it is every time, it is a constant, and thus a universal law of physics. Which means merely talking about it kills even more catgirls ad infinitum.
