    *Not allowed to have bandits endlessly hound the PC's while ignoring the merchant caravans.
    **Not allowed to use obscure charts and tables from the Dungeon Master's Guide no one ever uses to point out that murdering the PC's is not only safer, but more profitable.
    *** No longer allowed to play my bandits with anything resembling intelligence (even though intelligence is the core attribute of the rogue).

    * The NPC guides assigned to get us to the adventure site are not then promoted to "trap specialists".
    ** Even if I have a high bluff and they a low wisdom.
    *** The DM... er, kobolds... put a LOT of thought into that trap, and if I were to detect it, bypass it, or otherwise escape it, that would be rude.
    **** I AM allowed to suggest that the barbarian bypass the door and greataxe his way in through the wall, since apparently a trap causing the entire building to collapse is sensitive to that sort of thing.

    * Slippers of Spider Climbing are a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked if abused.
    ** Anything that requires holding a mini in midair above the monster, or forcing the DM to think in three dimensions, counts.
    *** Attempting to invoke the DM's stupid "but you didn't actually say you were looking up, so you're surprised regardless of what you rolled" rule against the monsters also constitutes abuse.
    **** Holding my breath is also a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked if abused.

    * Not allowed to defeat a locust swarm with a smoke stick.
    ** Nor a centipede swarm with a Create Water spell.
    *** Not allowed to use Create Water to increase the size class of a water elemental in order to get more XPs.
    **** Water elementals are NOT hurt by Purify Food and Drink.

    * Rangers may not select "Box Text" as a favored terrain. (They get favored terrain in addition to favored enemy in Pathfinder)

    well, if any class can be described as the Disciple of Punpun, it would be the hyper-optimized paladin. sure, a paladin isnt going to be rewriting reality, but they still function as a sort of Mini-pun.
