Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Why do you curse us perniciously?
I feel that dactylic trimeter
Lends no iota of dignity
To dialogue one must use it for.
Now, tetrameter trochaic
Though it seem a tad archaic
Has a sounding beat of progress
Dignity in all its lines is.
Much though I am loath to lose it,
Yet, alas, I cannot use it,
Lest ye be all moved to laughter
By comparisons hereafter:
"Hiawatha aimed an arrow
Whom the angels name Lenore."
Iambs are swift to write and trochees not;
Pentameter is easy to be got.
But all great lines were taken by the Bard,
And writing good ones is exceeding hard.
I don't know how to write anapests
So this line is the end of my jests.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Even if in character, I am not to make a list of exactly how much I expect to be relayed for actions that would be expected of being a member of a party, e.g. helping someone regain conscousness using my own supplies and expecting reimbursement, chipping in a minor sum of money for something that benefits the group, etc.

*I may not swap the Paladin's Phylactery of Faithfulness for a cursed fake that gives him bad, but convincing, advice.
*No crafting a magic item that lets me use ventriliquism at will. It's all fun and games until the entire party turns against each other.
**No getting Pazuzu to make one for me, either.

*I am never again to dump WIS
*If I dump CHA, I am to be kept away from important people.
**If taking 10 gets me a result worse than a Nat 1 from the party face, I am to just remain silent. He's got it under control.
*I may not pretend to pass out in the poison gas and make a CON check to withstand it because my character is in a personal spat with another party member.
**I will fail this check. Always.
*Never. To play. Low INT. B****y/a*****e high INT is still preferable to that.
*Doesnt matter that it's the second highest STR in the group, +3 mod isn't that much.
*You're 6 CHA. You're not a catch by anyone's standards.
**Above average STR doesn't make it better.
***Being female, it may actually repel people. Now set that nice man down.
*Not to point out illogical scaling of Power and Intelligence capabilities.
**I don't care that they technically suggest that a supercomputer is only 25% more likely to be right than a mentally disabled infant.
*If a system switch brings me from lowest CHA to second most charming party member while keeping the same classes, suddenly becoming the second party face may still be a bad idea due to personality remaining the same.
**I may make Intimidate checks though to feel useful.

My bard may no longer take the perform skill, but not carry an applicable instrument. Especially if I do not know the spell Summon Instrument

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Things my psion is no longer allowed to do:
1) I may not set the druid on fire to prevent ninja attacks.
2) I may not set myself on fire, even if I have the fire resist to take it.
3) Ditto for the swordsage.
4) The elf's woodsy nature does not make her extra flammable.
5) Pointing out that forest fires occur naturally will not make the druid less upset
6) Even if it makes him do more damage, I may not set the grappling barbarian on fire.
7) I may not set the bard on fire for the sole purpose of making "flaming" jokes at his expense.
8) I will stop referring to the halfling as kindling.
9) While fire is a versatile problem solving tool, setting the rogue on fire does not improve his sneaking ability.
10) I may not set enemies on fire as an intimidation technique.
11) Especially if I have no way to extinguish the fire.
12) I may not try to set records in the "Most enemies set on fire in an encounter" category
13) This goes double if it is a social encounter
14) [redacted]
15) If the DM includes monsters with fire resist in the encounter, I will not complain about having to use one of the "boring" elements (aka cold, lightning, or sonic).
16) I am not allowed to make a knowledge (flammability) check upon entering a building.
17) I do not receive xp for anything killed in any tavern, brothel, stable, castle, or forest fires I start.
18) I may not refluff my energy ray power as coming from my eyes, mouth, or any other orifice on my body.

* I have to tell rest of the party that Frenzied Berserker I'm making may turn on others after failed Will save, before they pick up classes that don't know a single spell, power or ability that could stop her.
(I'm really afraid that once our party in all-Orc game will have a serious fight, this will bite us hard).

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Yes there is, I just made it.
Bag of Hold 'em
weight: 1/2 lb
value: 500 gp
properties:once per encounter the player may reach into the bag of hold 'em and withdraw a deck of cards, a game of texas hold 'em immediatly begins with all sentient creatures within 20 ft participating unless they pass a DC 50 will save. Ante starts at 1 gp. During the game the 5 cards in the center will magicaly conform to whatever the owner of the bag wishes them to be, however they will not change value once flipped face up thus, to the casual observer the owner of the cards will not appear to be cheating.
