In an Evil campaign, if I attempt to Ressurrect my (good) opponent's White Dragonhide armor, expecting an ally, I should first consider the fact that said opponent once had an albino Gold Dragon for a friend, who is now deceased.

-getting the Hand and Eye of Vecna does not make me eligile to complete the set.

-I will not become Vecna if I collect them all.

-volunteering Vecna as an organ donor is right out.

-not allowed to play Mr. Potatoe Head with Vecna especially if I can.

Before I volunteer to be an organ donor I will check if they need a free musical instrument or vital organs.

To be fair, I was a priest of Lastai (goddess of pleasure and joy, BoED) and I kinda strangled him to death without warning in order to enact said plan. There were...words...exchanged with my deity over that one.

*If my bard is lieing to the party about his name and class, I eventually need to stop and tell them.
**If my bard has gone through more than one identity and at least three levels without the party noticing, they need to be informed.
***If my bard has had more than five identities and more than 8 levels with the party, I need to tell them right away
