*When I am Baleful Polymorphed into a rabbit and the Swift Hunter Ranger drops the boss to 1 HP, it is polite to wait until his next turn to let him finish her, instead of charging up behind her and getting sneak attack with my rabbit bite.

**Most definitely not allowed to play the above as an awakened coyote.
***Nor an awakened dog

*My characters backstory may not involve an orphan who was adopted and had then those parents died.

**If this happens more than on ce in my backstory, I am to trash it.


*If boobs is a real spell, uncovered boobs do not have the affects of fascinate, insanity, and inspire confidence.

**Under no circumstance am I to acquire an item that can enchant any item with the power of boobs.

***If the entire population of a town acquires boobs due to a mysterious enchantment in the water supply, I will be blamed.

ehm... well, they do.

**Uncovered boobs are a oneshot no-save-just-suck fascinate, insanity and Cahrm Person spell. This spell is epic, and can only be used once on a subject. It shifts alignment though.
***No, there is no and never will be a cleavage enhancement bonus
****No, not an insight bonus either
*****Ok, there is one for succubi, no you can't play any

*Just because many elf species have the required equipment doesn't mean there will ever be more than one half elf race.
*No the half orcs didn't occur consensually so it doesn't count. Well mostly at any rate.
*No that isn't funny ic.
*Ooc it's just mean.

*My Rogue Trader may NEVER have one gun with the combined full-auto, scatter, twin-linked and storm-bolt qualities.
*It may be star trek IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE: but my rogue trader still cannot bang every xeno girl he sees.
*If I try this with the forces of chaos, I deserve every corruption point, insanity point and nurlge’s rot infection I get.
* If the arch-militant gets the hideous strength and brute mutations, he does not have to become the hulk.
*If my female navigator ends up with the corpulent mutation, it may not go straight to her breasts.
*While undoubtedly disturbing enough, the combined worm and nightmarish mutations will not result in the human centipede.
*No explorer may scream out ORAORAORAORA, even with the relevant feats and two power-fists.
* No antagonist may respond in kind with MUDAMUDAMUDA, Especially if they are a space vampire.
* The code-word for uszing the lidless gaze is not “Staring contest! (You loose!)"
*The explorator cannot make a looted dalek, TARDIS, or carnifex
* Must not use the baleful eye to toast banana bread.
* There is no such thing as a throwing chainsword.
* Underslung storm-bolters are a thing. Underslung lascannons are not.
* May not use digital weapons and power-fists at the same time.
* Rogue traders can treat the immutable laws of the empire more like guidelines than actual rules. In no universe does this allow me to graft a carnifex arm onto my own.
*(…well, in Black Crusade it’s okay)
* May not cross-over the Deathwatch campaign, the Rogue-Trader campaign, and the Dark Heresy campaign, even if it is possible in canon.
*…Especially to fight the characters in our Black-Crusade campaign.
*May not abuse a warp-loving ship to arrive 5 days before we left, in order to kill ourselves and take our own stuff.
*Even IF I’m an orc freebooter, for whom this is entirely in character.
*Selfcest will get me corruption points.
*There is no chaos champion of Khorne known as “pyramid head”
*likewise Tzeench and “Slenderman”
*likewise Nurgle and “Alex Mercer”
*likewise Slaneesh and “Pedobear.”

*I am not allowed, as the paladin, to be suspicious enough and deceitful enough to justify seeing through the disreputable guy who just approached the party, tell him off, and explain to the party exactly why I metagamed so. Without breaking character.

**Not even as a halfling

***Not even though I got to write my own paladin oaths and did not break them.

****Even if I pass it by my DM before the game starts.

*****Apparently, I am required to make sure every character I make has enough ranks in bluff or sense motive to justify my shenanigans or it's metagaming.
