*You may not save your entire party from falling to death by casting Quickened Create Water 26 times.
*You may not use a rogue with a crossbow loaded with Bolts of Cure Serious Wound as a rough substitute for the cleric who drown.

You'd probably be best to take everything I say with a grain of salt. Unless we're arguing about alignment. In which case, you're wrong. Also, please wait a recommended 15 to 20 mins before quoting me. I edit.

****No combination of classes results in combustable lemons.
**We may not burn down houses with combustable lemons.

Why did you have Quickened Create Water prepared? 26 times?

* If my Exalt is secretly designed for the express purpose of recreating the finale to F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu, then he must likewise sacrifice himself in the process of performing his Falcon Punch.
** I am not to be upset when the Big Bad uses a perfect defense.
* It doesn't matter that the Far Realm is a place of utter madness and illogic, the FATALverse is not one of its layers and I am not to trick my players into going there.
** No, not even if the whole point is to eventually bait the wizard into casting a spell so that it can "accidentally" turn into the FATAL spell and destroy the whole "layer."
*** After putting them through this experience, the least I can do is tell the party that they are now immune to the Far Realm proper's insanity-causing mechanic (because it suddenly seems quite sane by comparison), and that the paladin will forever be in the utmost favor of his/her god due to his/her part in this immense act of Good (i.e.- destroying the FATALverse).
**** If the paladin, or any other PC for that matter, is in fact a she, then that does not even come close to making up for it.
** I am never allowed to GM, except in my sick, twisted imagination.

How else are you supposed to kill a Dry Lich?
*May not use Disintigrate to clean up garbage. That's what Prestigidation is for.
*If the BBEG's evil plan is to destroy the earth, destroying it before he can, and in a different way, is not victory.
*May not put one ring gate into the elemental plane of water and the other into the elemental plane of air (suspended in a strong updraft) just to make bubbles.
**Not to use those bubbles to sink ships.
EDIT:
*Not to polymorph the bard into a gibbering mouther so he can sing barbershop quartet by himself.
**Not even if the preformance is in the far realms.
***Not to make a band with a gibbering mouther as the singer, an aboleth on bass and a grell playing drums.
****all Bard Party + aberration PC's don't mix.

If being a rapidly moving comet soaring across the multiverse is the price one must pay to defeat a demigod of Evil, then that'll be the price.

****I should not then proceed to claim to have been working for another company to muddy the issue further.
*****Evidence indicating that we are, in fact, completely innocent will probably not be considered, especially if it "magically" appears after our incarceration and the previous evidence still exists
******Making a deal with a dragon to get out, only to betray him and his company afterwards, is the definition of insanity, and will lead to a major reduction of life expectancy
Yes, my Shadowrun players forgot the first rule...
