* I cannot be Bard with 1 level of Paladin of Freedom just so I can seduce every BBEG of opposite gender and then use Smite Evil on my Secret Hyper Weapon.
** BBEG of the same gender isn't allowed either.
* Cannot be Chaotic Good and spend entire game trying to break and corrupt every single Lawful character I stumble upon and claiming I just want them to be themselves.

* Not allowed to use Ghost Sound to convince the fighter that his new sword is talking to him.
** Not allowed to use Ghost Sound to convince the cleric that his god is speaking to him.
*** May not convince said cleric that he must make an ark and collect 2 of each animal.
**** Not allowed to use Ghost Sound.
* Not allowed to combine a Decanter of Endless Water and a guitar to make a guitar that gently weeps.

My INT 40+ epic wizard may not Genesis a demiplane with flowing time, discover all of modern physics, and return to the Prime Material with a working hydrogen bomb one round later.
I may not name my wizard Mark and demand to be addressed as Arcane Mark.
Similarly, I cannot play a dwarf raised by humans and named Rodney, all for the sake of one day taking levels in dwarven defender and earning the nickname Immovable Rod.
I may not polymorph myself into a copy of my familiar while polymorphing my familiar into myself, on the off chance that someone gets close enough to try to assassinate me.
In the same vein, my familiar will get a veto on all suicidal familiar-abuse plans.
I may not try to invent spells like Contact Other Game (focus: a rectangle of white marble with an apple carved into it) to consult with my munchkin buddies.
I may not use other posts in this topic for inspiration.

The above rules also apply in regards to Awakened squirrels.
If the previous rule may only be broken by a halfling Druid, and then only if said halfling carries a THICK Scottish accent.
I may not abuse the Awaken spell and liberal use of the leadership feat to produce 8 cohorts and over 300 followers of Awakened squirrels, flying squirrels, giant squirrels, and giant dire squirrels.
making every single squirrel in the above army Druids, and then having them all cast Summon Nature's Ally and/or Summon Swarm at once will cause your DM's brain to hemmorhage.

*It is assumed that a wizard actually knows how magic works.
**If for some reason your wizard has absolutely no clue, I'm going to give your spells ransom effects until you invest at least one skill point in spellcraft and/or knowledge arcana.

Should I violate the previous rule, pointing it at a foe and speaking the 'command word' gives them an immediate sunder attempt.
Make Whole doesn't work that way.
I may not be a Eunuch Warlock with the worst backstory ever.
*nor am I a Lord of Rodly Might
**No, a Rod of Lordly Might does not work like viagra
***I am to warn my next DM that I can't play male characters
****A Rod of Wonder/Rod of Lordly Might are not to be used as strap-ons (acutally tested this)
*****I am to inform the DM that I am to play genderless characters...

*No the fact that we all have a set wealth level based on how many wombats we've killed doesn't count.
*No the fact that we can't sell anything at market price and making it ourselves is simply more useful doesn't count either.
*No the fact that most monsters no matter how powerful also have set parameters for wealth doesn't count either.
*I must stop drawing parallels between dnd and communism.

**That's it. From now on, all living things that are targets of an awaken spell are now extinct due to a ecological catastrophe caused by an awakened mouse.
Congratulations. You've brought untold suffering down upon worlds that don't even exist yet! *edits nature out of the next four campaigns*

I totally did this first time I even used the forum dice roller.
Your DM is under the impression that this is something to be afraid of?

*pointing out the absurdity of ranger's favored enemy bonuses applying to dracotaurs, satyrs, and gargoyles as the same category yet somehow a kobold, elf, and dwarf are too different to be same category will not get all humanoids approved as a single category.
Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
In PTTA
* I may not create a SAD character that gains damage, health and DR from one stat, and pump only this stat.
** Especially if it is not a Psychic.
** Gaining more HP per level than a SAD CON class will get me far tougher encounters than everyone else.
*** If I do this, I may not complain about always having to tank everything for all the other squishy party members.
** I may not create a build like this and then say that I am a pacifist.
