**** If the ogre we were fighting yanks the sword out still attached to the surrounding rock, I am not allowed to swear fealty to the ogre.
***** Even if said ogre would be a better king than the Paladin.

*If the DM makes it clear that stealing one of the PC's dog was just the result of a lost fight, we are not to derail the campaign to track down his captors. Get him a new dog and shut up about it.
**May not raze a forest to find captors.
***May not finance the construction of a highway over the charred remains of said forest to cut down travel time again and make travel between towns safer.

Making a character whose race is "Munchkin" is no excuse.

As DM
* Cannot make God of Love be known in celestian pantheon as "Sexy Boy"
** His apperance cannot be accompained by Devas singing this song
** He cannot be best friends with God of War
*** God of War cannot be woshipped as King of Kings
**** Or Cerebral Asassin
***** Band of demons suspiciously similiar to Motorhead cannot start singing whenever he appears
*** Those two cannot hang out together and fool around the mortal world
**** If players are not down with it, they doesn't have two words for them.
Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
* Burning down the entire forest to smoke out the BBEG is not a legitimate tactic.
** No, not even if certain other Neutral Good characters have done it.
*** No, not even if I declare my character just wants to watch the world burn.
**** I do not get to pick up rubies the size of tangerines after the event.
* I do not gain Inspire Awe by putting ranks into Perform (Vogon Poetry).
* Summon Instrument is not to be used to see if the party mage can in fact hit the side of a barn with a bull bass fiddle.
* "HASSAN CHOP!" is not an appropriate battlecry.
** Not even if I bought an oversized falchion for that purpose.

As a DM:
*I may no longer create a giant gingerbread castle as the next dungeon for the party
**I may no longer stock said dungeon with Warforged refluffed as gingerbread men.
***The dungeon may not be filled with perversions of sugary cereal mascots as its major encounters, no matter how badass I can make Tony the Weretiger, Count Chocula, Snap, Crackle, and Pop, or "The Cookie Crisp Heirarchy."
****While travelling through the sewer system of the castle, a large red water elemental encased in glass construct armor cannot burst through the wall yelling "OH YEAH!!!" and bodyslamming the warmage into a wall.
*****If the party almost dies to a BBEG named "The Confectioneer" they have a right to pelt me with candy of their choice.

*The ability to create stable time loops is a privilege, not a right.
*If I use the time-looping ability so much that time-clones of me and my party become a non-negligible demographic of their own within society, I deserve what I get.
**Especially when the party is a Neutral Evil housecat obsessed with fire, a Killoren Druid Fluttershy, a constantly drunk draconic gnome rogue, and a halfling cleric with a pet hellhound.
*Oddly enough, I /am/ allowed to use the time loops to abuse the heck out of the stock market.
**However, I am /not/ allowed to use the massive amount of accumulated wealth until the final loop.
*The timeclones aren't allowed to tell me what I'm supposed to be doing. Unless they're supposed to, in which case they will whether they're allowed or not.
*I may only explode my fellow players' brains once per session.
**If I start doing crazy things with the time travel, it is within my fellow players' rights to ask that I chart the timeflow out.
*** If the chart ends up looking like something out of a topographical mathematician's LSD trip, that plan is to be discarded.
****If the plan gives the party any sort of mechanical, time-based advantage in a battle other than the ability to come back and try again if we're about to lose, it is also to be discarded.
*The time-loop spell is not to be given to anyone with 'Chaotic' in their alignment, on general principle.
**The time-loop spell is not to be given to anyone with an Intelligence score below 18, also on general principle.
***There is a minimum Intelligence threshold for creating plans that span multiple loops. If there is only one party member who is over that threshold, then that is how things are.
*We are to assume that the timeline we are on is the Alpha timeline, and not do contrary things on the off chance it isn't.

The end of a flute is flat and closed. Make that end sharp.

One end is flat and closed, but that's the end right next to your mouth. The other end is open, and if it wasn't it wouldn't produce sound properly. Sure, you COULD put it on the closed end, but then you'd risk slitting your cheek every time you play…

It's easy. Just put an unsharpened 1-foot rod coming out of the closed end, with a spear point on the end. Balance it right, and you've got a little shortspear.

the idea of razing the forest to find their foes? Common P.C tactic.
Building a highway on it so they can get to their foes faster? Ingenious.
