*Not allowed to suggest that the entire team is made up of Harpoon-wielding fighters just so we can harpoon any enemy and hold them at bay in the middle of the room.
*May no longer make any projectile with the exploding property.
*This goes double when tied in with the Exit Wound property.
*May not place both of these on a harpoon and expect it to explode, pass through the target, explode again on the next target (etc) and also remain embedded in all those who were hit, allowing me to pull them around.

By RAW, I think it would. Nonsense, but still.
Personally, I think Exit Wound or Exploding would be fine on their own.

Details, please. That's too specific to be made up on the spot.
Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
* If a party member's backstory contains any variation of "May/will only marry/sleep with someone who defeats her in single combat," I may not contrive for my own character to knock her out in the first session for some unrelated reason and then be oblivious to her advances for the rest of the campaign.
* If I do attempt the above, the party member in question reserves the right to go completely, intolerably tsundere on me.

*I may not make the Empath/Liberator cry when she talks to my Pokémon.
Adendum - Even if she needs to realize that good trainers' Pokémon don't like their trainers being accused of being abusive.
*If I succeed in doing so, she has the right to free any Pokémon who have a loyalty of 1 that I have.
a. I also have the right to fight her if this happens. Try to keep it non-leathal.
b. If she dies in an accident during the ensuing fight, burning the body in front of her Pokémon is in poor taste. Or any other way of post humurous desecration. Yes, that includes any method of soul destruction.

*Wait you're going to do what to her body?
* I am no longer allowed to play Pokémon. Save the horrorshow for when mortisheen comes out.
*My monk cannot be Master Roshi
*If my monk is wearing weighted clothing, cannot throw it at the enemy.
*If I can make daze work on higher hitdie through use of metamagic, cannot abuse it in every single fight.
*Cannot enhance light spells with the glint of my monk's bald scalp.
*If any of my characters moons the enemy, not to be surprised when I’m sodmised by 50-arrows a round.
* Not to use my experience with this concept to apply it to the big bad with delayed fireball.

Scion game. My friends and I were fighting a bad who was apparently immune to damage. We were supposed to run. But we had dubbed ourselves "Team Bad@$$, and we don't run. Incidentally, being immune to damage doesn't mean being immune to grappling. I was playing a hand-to-hand specialist (Scion of Sun Wukong) my friends were playing scions of John Henry (LOTS of strength) and Amaterasu (ability to fly).
We hatched a plan: I would grapple the S.O.B. then strong guy would pick me up (picking up the bad guy along with me) then the flight guy would pick all of us up and fly as high as he could. Then Flight guy would throw us, Strong guy would throw me and the bad guy, and I throw the bad guy into the sun (or at least into orbit). Even if he was immune to our attacks, there was no way he could survive hard vacuum.
Our storyteller grinned for awhile, then peaked at our character sheets and blanched, apparently realizing that we could, in fact, carry out our plan. He then declared that he wouldn't allow this, and then declared that we had somehow disabled him, and that we had gotten away, calling it a "moral victory" to appease us.
*My friends and I are no longer allowed to plan strategies with each other.

Dude, come game at my table. I've got a DM that would TOTALLY go for that and probably drop something really sweet in your lap after the fact for thinking that up and pulling it off!

This!
* People I am shaking hands with are not flat-footed, and I may not use Disintegrate, Inflict spells, Ray of Exhaustion, Destruction, Enervation, or Finger of Death on their incredibly easy to hit bodies.

*Immunity to fear does not, in fact, mean that my Paladin cannot retreat.
*No, you're not "immune to fear of social rejection from being naked."
*Remove Disease is for blessings, not discounts at the brothel.
These have not actually occured in any group I've played in, although they have been much-too-frequently hypotheticals.

These have not actually occurred in any group I've played in, although they have been much-too-frequently hypotheticals.
*My bard cannot learn mage-hand, presdigination, and mending with the intent of take up the job of a laundromat.
* My conjurer cannot retire at level 16, and take up the fulfilling job of becoming a transcontinental teleporter.
*Likewise with an earth elementalist and a quarry.
*Likewise a diviner and the national post.
* The world is too young to have undead-based factory lines.
*If my chaotic cleric casts cure disease on a prostitute, I will not be surprised if the harlot-of-choice is insulted.
*If I do the same to the party rouge with the same implications, I am so getting shanked.
* Even if it’s in character, my antiplaladin cannot seek out the sexually infected with the purpose of improving his bringer of plague ability.
*Cannot cast Unnatural Lust so as to induce narcissism.
*Cannot use begiling gift to give the druid a metal shield and make him loose his class features.
*Just because my sorcerer can’t wear armour, doesn’t mean she gets to run about nekkid.
*Neither cold resistance nor charisma 22 justify this.
* Persistent invisibility won’t help me there either.
*My golem armour cannot wear golem armour, even if it is the caster that built it.
* I will not do this recursively.
*…No, your golem armour cannot have a golem arm.
* My golem-arm is not my pimpsmakin’ arm.
* Cannot make 4 golem arms and then have my cassihern familiar “Form the head.”
* Even if it’s infinitely more affordable and useful, cannot make a really tiny adamantdite golem and make THAT into golem armour.
* You witch cannot be Grunty and she is forever banned from having the Craft Golem feat.

Good times, good times. Still think we should have been able to pull it off, though.
Anyway, on topic:
* Giving a handshake laced with Bestow Curse is a terribly impolite way of greeting someone.
* War, oddly enough, doesn't appreciate Good Omens references.
* I am no longer allowed to convince the rest of Team BAD@$$ to dress up as the cast of Friendship is Magic for Halloween any more, lest someone else gets stuck that way.

You say this as though it might potentially be a bad thing. Seriously, those pony's are Batman level Memetic Bad A$@'S!
