*Rule #23 of Riverdance playing barbarians: the Halfling is not a toy
**This goes doubly for gnomes.
***Even if they ask to be thrown into combat as a many-pointed projectile I am to politely decline.

If I do throw another party member, they cannot activate Skirmish from the movement.
They also do not get to make a full attack.
Dealing Hulking Hurler damage as well is just rude.

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.

All these have happened in our current sandbox campaign. Hes an antipaladin in our evil party and we are having a blast
anywho,
*I will not abuse my right to use the ToB in our PF game just to prove that a crusader i made in 10 minutes out of the box beats the carefully planned paladin.
**Especially if it is only by using Thicket of Blades and similar Maneuvers
***Especially if i am convincing enough to persuade the DM into implementing ToB into the game fully, complete with TPK initiator encounters because he isnt quite familar with ToB enough to balance it against pitting us against fighters
****This is not an excuse to in turn Buff up the PF non-ToB classes.
*****You know what, lets just forget my right to use the ToB
Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Good to see Sir Bearington is known here.
* Cannot make Monk with maximized Grapple and Lucha Libre Mask
** Cannot have name that says "Landshark" in Mexican.
*** Cannot jump at the dragon, yelling "FOR THE HONOR OF THE MASK!", grapple him even, when he flies up, make him fall from hundreds of meters, barerly survive and pin him down.
**** Cannot be declared the winner by another party member.
***** Cannot do that at third level.
Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
* I may not institute a coloring system for gnomes, indicating how dangerous they are
** This coloring system is not multi-colored hats, with yellow being most tame (stealing shinies) while red is more dangerous (messing with explosives, but doesn't realize that actions have consequences) and black being the most deadly (natural-born magical ability, no regards to life)
*** The BBEG may not be a black-hat gnome who escaped solitary confinement and (somehow) passed himself off as a dwarf
**** No, the dwarves did NOT banish him after he nearly destroyed the nation, only for xenophobic elves to rescue him so he could plot his revenge against the gnomes and the dwarves
***** Said gnome cannot be named Discord
****** The note found clenched in the hand of a person who had been turned to stone does NOT have the lyrics to Eurobeat Brony's "Discord" written on it.
******* Nor is the refrain of "Luna" written in blood on the walls of the house that above gnome was banished to before being rescued.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
My dwarf monk may not fluff his unarmed attacks as strikes with his beard.
My dwarf fighter may not take Weapon Focus (Beard), Weapon Specialization (Beard), Greater Weapon Focus (Beard), and Greater Weapon Specialization (Beard). Doing so does not make him a Beardmaster.
Beards do not qualify for Exotic Weapon Master under any circumstances, and likewise does not make him a Beardmaster.
I may not take the Stunning Fist and Fiery Fists feat chains and talk the DM into allowing them to instead apply to my Beard.
I cannot circumvent these rules by tying any of the following into my beard: knives, bangles, or razors. Or any other weapon for that matter.
Thickly tied braids are NOT how you make a dwarf beard a masterwork weapon, apparently that involves tying fancy rings into it.

So that would be a pointer to a (pointer to a (pointer to a (pointer to a (pointer to a (pointer to a (value))))))? Alternatively, it could be a 7 dimensional array.
