Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
* I may not develop the epic spell Create Non-Magical-Looking Money (Seeds: Conjure, Conceal. Factors: Permanent).
** If for some reason I am allowed to develop this spell, it is with the expectation that I will not cast it so much that my conjured coins end up consituting the majority of the money circulated in several countries.
*** If the above nonetheless occurs, my character's big reveal as actually being Chaotic Evil should not come via reminding the DM of the "Dismissable by caster" factor that he failed to pay attention to when he approved the spell.

****If I want to have any say in the events that occur after I dismiss 80% of the worlds money I (and moreover my character) had better know a damned lot about economics.
*****Just because I know more about economics than the DM doesn't mean I get to dictate what happens.
******My character may not use his knowledge of economics to create a stock market.
*******If he does create a stock market than the casting of the spell Panic, Mass on the market floor will become punishable by death.Many thanks to Ceika for my Avatar

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
- Don't let the PCs name their horses. They'll get attached to the point that three days will be spent retrieving the horses from the haunted forest of Haven instead of saving that small village being ransacked by the elven army.
- Do not break the antimagic field at the opera house just because you don't like it. There are bad people who cast spells too.
- If the GM gives you solid evidence that someone is planning an Inside Job to assassinate the lead opera singer on the night of the performance, you are not allowed to spend two days prior telling Everyone of this fact.
- The chances of a rabid octopi attack on land during Scene 2 of an opera is pretty much zero.
- Stop stealing adventure ideas from Final Fantasy VI. Your players are on to you...

* I may not use a Dhampir gunslinger if his outfit is a red longcoat and hat.
** Dhampirs also do not have advanced regeneration capabilities. I cannot recover from decapitation.
** Anti-tank rifles do not exist in PF and DnD, stop giving them to my female dhampir gunslinger.
*** Stop making her say "B****es love cannons!"
** Human paladins do not have infinite bayonets.
*** Like the Dhampirs above, paladins don't have advanced regeneration powers.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
**** Ksheep's bard may be a chill cat only by playing a half white dragon housecat. Other "base creature" felines are not acceptable. No, there's no LA reduction in this game. Furthermore, in order to play a half white dragon housecat, Ksheep is required to write a two-page (single-spaced, font size no larger than 12) report on how this physically came to be, without squicking the DM.
***** Aforementioned half white dragon housecat still may not have goatee, beret or sunglasses.

* If my DM cries when he sees the stats I rolled I'm not allowed to use them
** No, not even if they were legal rolls.
*** This goes double if I intend to add insane templates to the character.
**** Yes even if the DM initially approved it.
***** If I add a half-demon template to the half-elf race I'm not allowed to look completely human.
****** Especially if I have the above mentioned insane stat array.
******* I will not be surprised if my half-elf/half-demon shadowdancer runs into a few Demon Bane weapons in his career.
******** Especially if he tries so seduce any more paladins, clerics, or other holy people.
********* This is the last time I'm allowed to use the puppy--eye look on the DM during character creation.
********** I am not to remind the DM that's what he said the last time, while smirking.
*********** Next time I am to play a character that's at least part human and has stats that actually reflect this.
************ Arguing that a 17 is within a human range does not help me when that is also my dump stat.
************* If I pull any of this one more time, we're playing Exalted.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
Now I'm curious, too. :P
Some of the bells would be easy (in 4E at least, 3.5 I don't know). Ranna could just be a Sleep spell; Kibeth would have a Slide effect, or possibly one-turn Domination; Dyrim would be Speak With Dead and/or Silence; Saraneth would be a more powerful domination effect. But Mosrael, Belgaer, and Astarael I can't find any precedent for. Maybe Mosrael could let the ringer spend some healing surges for the target? Or Raise Dead with a large healing surge cost rather than material?
Death might work with the idea of Death Saving Throws, although it's not perfect. Someone is in the First Precinct if they're at negative hit points, the Second/Third after they fail their first death saving throw, the Fourth/Fifth after another failure, and the Sixth if they're dead but can still be raised or animated. I'm not even going to try to write rules for going into death, they would take up multiple pages.
Speaking of which...
* I may not nerd-snipe people with literary references!
