*There is no conceivable circumstance where fireballing the enemy is a valid strategy when you are both in a building containing thousands of precariously stacked vials of highly volatile liquids.
**No. No amount of resistance to fire will protect you. When you re-roll your character, put some ranks in Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering).

* I should feel extreme reservations if my AC can be boosted to nearly 40 at level 7, and my party members are hovering around 18 and 20.
* I should give it considerable thought before smashing an "evil being" that was recovered from an artic region. after detecting him as evil.
* I should give more thought to dissolving the resultant corpse with acid.
* while a logical process, I most likely shouldn't then dilute and evaporate said acid, thus completely obliterating about 90% of the DM's planned adventure.
...not that I managed all of those in one character or anything.
it's a great story I think... even if I did wreck the game.

* I am no longer aloud to justify my LG Cleric's slaughtering of unarmed children as a "learning experience" or as an "example of what not to do" to the rest of the party.

Eh. Those all work, but the person in question was only level six and it was a setting where magic items were really uncommon.
I managed to talk them out of it.
*Just because the common cat can theoretically defeat a level one commoner, does not mean your familiar can take levels as a cleric of Bastet after gaining sufficient experience.

*After being reduced to a pulpy mass, the PCs may not scoop the remains of another PC into a chamber pot in the hopes of eventually getting a True Resurrection spell sometime in the distant future.

Actually, if they get True Resurrection, they don't need the body.

Versatile Magic and Additional Spell Slot.
*I may not use one feat to qualify for Rainbow Servant at first level, thus going into it at second, hitting its awesome capstone at 11.
Eldritch Corruption

Yeah you were just thinking normal res. True res is higher level and I think costs more in components. It will bring you back from pretty much anything but being unnamed.
