Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
i know! unfortunately for her, she grew up on the ivory coast, so she doesn't have the local knack for speaking either the local dialectals of occitan, catalan or spanish. much to my dm's chagrin, about half of the group does have this knack.
*"va t'en cagar a la vinha et porta me la clau" does not translate to "have a nice day" in dwarven, despite sharing the sentiment.
**last time i'm allowed to play a character with 4 languages.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
*ahem*
Did someone say "Drow in Space"?
The 1981 science-fiction novel "Forerunner" by Andre Norton, who also wrote "Quag Keep" which was the first D&D novel (she had played at Gygax's table), featured a character that has a Drow appearance
Anyway here's a link on
Forerunner
* 2D8HP is no longer allowed to speak sentences that begin with "That reminds me..." at the gaming table.

*****May not point out to the DM that using the Cosmere as a source-book instead of the standard D&D magic system results in a far more balanced system.
Speaking of which:
*A character can't have his own gravity-field.
**Not even if he's an Iron-ferring.
***No, even an iron compounder can't manage that.
*I should not have a minor mental breakdown when a player burns trough a year's worth of stored Connection while on top of a Perpendicularity.
**If I'm not willing to have to (come up with and) deal with the consequences of that, I should not set up a situation in which it is the most logical thing for said player to do.Last edited by DeTess; 2017-10-29 at 04:48 PM.

At least it's not CthulhuTech.
* May not mention CthulhuTech.
I'm now trying to remember how connection works in the Mistborn RPG. But a year's worth, assuming a starting Ferring that would be (365.25*24*4=)35064 Charges of connection. That's over three hundred and fifty standard metalminds of charges (there's a reason the book suggests not running Feruchemy at maximum capacity).
And while Allomancy gets a lot of love, Feruchemy is really the more balanced (against itself, if given storing time it dominates everything) and interesting system, especially when split into Ferrings. Allomancy is actually intentionally unbalanced and not even the variable burn times truly finish (as you can start and stop effectively at will). Tin burns for hours compared to minutes for pewter, but you don't have to burn pewter constantly outside of combat.

******When the DM inevitably argues that KR are OP, I may not point out that Vasher and Nightblood are probably the scariest people on Roshar, that there is a relatively easy Aon that basically replicates the spell flame strike at a high level, or that Vin literally jumped in the air holding a sword larger than she is tall and then bisected someone with the sword half a mile from her starting point when she landed

** Upon the judge asking "what do you have to say for the things you've done in your life?" My response may not be "The Aristocrats!" no matter how good or bad I've been.
*** May not insist the judge send to me to hell so that I can fight evil people and take their stuff forever because I'm adventurer and thus would be my form of heaven.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
I'd like to point out that learning to curse in multiple languages is actually a good thing and promotes innovative self-expression of anger...
As for Spanish, as far as I have been taught it's not much more then "Io a mierda á [list of things you would take a dump on]"Warlock Poetry?
Or ways to use me in game?
Better grab a drink...

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
I actually have a faction (of paladins, even) in one of my settings who are based around a mild variation of this--they have all committed unforgivable sins and know they're damned. So they do all the dirty work here so no one else has to get tainted and train so when they go to the Hells they can kick the doors down from the inside and slaughter some fiends in their home lands where it will last.

*******Unless it is your cat. Always hug your cat.
********Unless they don't want to be hugged. Since they are cute, cuddly serial killers.
(Perhaps if I am in a whimsical mood next time I play a one shot, I'll do a CE Tabaxi Frenzy Barbarian named Fluffy Destroyer of Worlds)
*As a level 20 adventuring party, may not take a group of orphans along to the epic final showdown to give them a rapid multi-level boost.
**May not make the traumatized, now significantly more powerful orphans the next campaign's PCs.Last edited by Mith; 2017-10-31 at 11:45 PM.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
Because in Exalted, that's Tuesday. In D&D, it makes your GM reexamine his life. ;p
Also, everytime I vote for Exalted in my group I end up playing my second favorite game.
* [Mutants and Masterminds] no longer allowed to play an Alien with the "doesn't understand humanity" complication.
* That goes double for human super geniuses.
* Despite how in theme it is, my session in the "pass the hat" gming should not involve my tech genius's a.I. sidekick 's evil dimension clone showing up and demanding a husband all "Frankenstein's bride" style.
* Especially if the genius's only protest is that "gender is only a social construct for machines!"

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
I am well aware of the Brandon Sanderson references. Exalted 3e is a game where the PCs basically start as full Mistborn. The Bands of Mourning are a very easy conversion, Flamestrike is a spell most starting characters can cast if they want to, and bisecting someone from half a mile away is pretty much a standard stunt.
