3108: My Favored Soul/Risen Martyr cannot be named "Bryan."
3108a: Nor can he be named "Bwyan."
3108b: Is he is named Bryan, he must be introverted and low-key, especially when under the effects of a 'bless' spell.
3228: Dropping squirrels from orbit is not an instant kill against whoever they hit.
3228a: Doing the same with dragons is, though.
3229: The DM doesn't care if I get every epic level mage in a hundred-mile radius to add spellcraft checks to the ritual OR how many Gods owe me favors; I can't use the Epic Spell 'rocks fall, everyone dies'.
3230: I can cast 'Nailed to the sky', but only during daylight hours.
3230a: If I somehow subvert this rule, and there is a full moon out, I cannot cast it while shouting 'I BANISH YOU TO THE MOOOOOOOOON'.
3231: If we're on the elemental plane of fire, suggesting we solve all our problems with 'MORE FIRE' does not get me a bonus to diplomacy checks vs. the inhabitants.
3231a: It'll make everyone and their brother unfailingly hostile on the elemental plane of WATER, though.
3232: 'I only memorized it once' is not a valid excuse for not saving the party with a spell that could easily target everyone.
3232a: ESPECIALLY not 'Water Breathing'.
3233: Even a cleric/druid of the storm god can't summon lightning strikes underground.
3234: I cannot subvert the above by convincing the Transmuter to create a spell that turns the dungeon roof into copper.
3234a: Random holes above our heads to the surface are fair game.
3235: Do not poke the gelatinous cubes while giggling like a simp!

Sadly, I have forgotten who made this avatar. But whoever it was, good show!
3236: I am not allowed to put "Bestow Curse" or "Mark of Justice" on party membrs to ensure their loyalty.
3236a: I may not go through my fellow Wizard party members' spellbooks and tear out any pages displaying the spells "Dispel Magic", "Remove Curse", "Break Enchantment"...you get the idea...so that when I put the aforementioned spells on them, they can't do anything about it.
3236b: I am especially not allowed to tell them none of this, and replace their torn-out and/or erased pages with pages that look similar enough but in fact contain some cleverly hidden errors, so they won't try to remove my contigencies in case they betray me.
3236c: No, I may not instead put Arcane Marks on their spell component pouches (or the Clerics' Holy Symbol) , so I can cast Drawmij's Instant Summons on it if they get uppity.
3236d: ...and no, it isn't their fault for not getting eschew materials, like a smart player.
3236e: Yes, this even applies when the players have a history of backstabbing their friends.
Things that I wish to inflict upon my gaming group:
3237. I will not try to hijack, capture or commandeer every damn vehicle that comes my way.
3238. A magic missile will never, ever be Nyan cat.
3239. Sex will not be roleplayed.
3239b. Especially paid sex.
3239c. ...with the team member who used to be a temple prostitute.
3239d. ...and who is a man.
3240. A level 1 character attacking an adult dragon will die by s*itting his pants in fear.
3241. Dire rats do not drop loot.
3241b. Not even when you perform an autopsy.
3242: Any character concept that is the set-up for an awful pun is automatically rejected.
3243: There is no such thing as bone-eating dire half-dragon saltwater werepiranhas.
3244: I may not take the Weapon Focus feat with brooms, cabbages, or ridiculous French accents.
