Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
Okay boys, confession time: I'm a munchkin. I enjoy imagining weird character ideas and then making them absurdly powerful. However, I do occasionally draw a line in the sand that I'll never cross. For example, Pun-Pun will never see the light of day.
But, that's not very fun, is it? What about those times that you want to make your DM suffer? Or perhaps you merely want to make those uppity PCs pay for splitting up.
All you need to do is pull this simple gourd from your bag of holding, point it at the target and say the command word for a torrent of endless hair-pulling, insanity-inducing bad ideas!
This is the fourth chamber for the decanter, the other three having overflowed. As we swam in the morass of crazy, we voted on a new location, and here we are!
[Any] Things I may no longer do while playing.
Things I May No Longer Do While Playing II: Stop Making The DM Cry
Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Note: if you're going to use numbers, please keep the numbering in order. This means:
1) don't add sub-rules to previous numbers--people will think that number is the current one
2) look to make sure that the last post isn't a sub-rule to a previous number
I suggest using asterisks, though, as the first thread did.I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!
Currently, we're playing through New Vegas as Gabriel de la Cruz, merchant and mercenary extraordinaire!

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
*When the DM pulls a mind swap on the entire party my wizard-in-a-fighter's body may not be more effective than the original fighter.
*If my rogue-in-a-paladin's body is more ethical than the paladin something is wrong.Last edited by Riverdance; 2012-10-09 at 09:44 AM.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
* Players are no longer allowed to cast color spray at allies.
** Or animal companions.
*** Or rationalize catching a building on fire with this spell by some paradox of events.
**** ESPECIALLY when allies and animal companion are inside said building.
***** And persuading the dm to let it happen.
****** Only to find out there was barrels of gunpowder inside the building and the dm is now cackling in glee.
******* They are also not allowed to blame the gun slinger in the party for placing those barrels there earlier when they helped him place said barrels that same morning.
******** Or just use color spray again at all.
* Players are not allowed to play half-centaur, half-golem, half-fiend halfling swashbuckling dread pirates.
** They are also not allowed to take underfoot fighting as a feat.
*** Or apply a permanent reduce person to themselves.
**** Or customize a rowboat to be a tiny sailing ship so it gets a size bonus to ac.
***** Then raid, and successfully plunger, an entire pirate cove.

******** I cannot literally ride the flying monkeys either.
* My character may not successfully explain how the main quest-giver is actually the evil one and the BBEG just an innocent(-ish) victim if this was not meant to be the case.
** Knowledge(Psychology), Knowledge(Plot Holes), and Knowledge(Basic Understanding of Cause and Effect) are now all forbidden to me, as are their equivalents in other systems.
** Circle magic can "enhance" spells, and only spells.

**********I will not donate my entrails for use in divinations after eating this cake, however.
*I will not convince the GM to let me buy a Decanter of Endless Flour.
**Not even though we're in the marketplace in the City of Brass and all the salespeople are Eefreeti.
***Not even if the NG cleric gets to buy a slave.
****Just no.
*If I am a NG cleric, I do not get to buy a slave at "fair market price" from an Eefreet "because I'm pretty".Last edited by Dr Bwaa; 2012-10-09 at 05:38 PM.

*It should not contain Mary either.
**There are no recreational uses for Flesh to Stone.
***Do NOT steal the necromancer's horse.
****Weaponized fruit is a privilege, not a right.
*****The Healer who wields bananas should not do more damage per round than the rest of the party combined.
******I lose my right to have bananas (IRL and In game) if any character I play has any resemblance to Soraka.
*******A banana that throws healers is right out.
********The DM trusted me to not build pink haired wild-men who can swallow enemies whole. I shouldn't abuse that trust.

If, while my bard is 'entertaining' the dukes consort, the duke enters the room, he WILL autofail all of his diplomacy checks.
The duke also gets a +20 circumstance bonus to his will saves versus my Suggestions.
I WILL accept the fact that I am royally screwed, pun intended.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.
