Are we supposed to continue the list?

4) I am not allowed to be a misunderstood rebel Drow, yearning to defend a world that hates and fears my kind.

5) I am not allowed to stand idly by while the BBEG completes his tortuously long and involved transformation sequence.

6) I am not allowed to shoot the BBEG before he has finished his dramatic speech.

7) Especially if I would kill him in one shot.

Just throwing this out there to combat the orientalism. A harem is not a place for wanton sexuality. A good way to think of it is as arabic or turkish for the european concept of a home. It is the private place a family goes. It comes from the roots hrm which are part of words meaning things like sacred, private, holy, etc.


Even for the Sultan, it was not a place for him to go bang a dozen chicks. Or sheep, in this case.

39) My backstory must make sense for the character level, and is not allowed to include the words "level drain". Furthermore, I can't just have amnesia and forget all the cool stuff I learned when I leveled up.
40) If my character's name involves any of the following words: "Badass, Laser, Awesome, Fish, Killer, or Slaughter", I will be forced to rename him.

I'm sure he meant that his character is going to settle down to be a sheep farmer. You and your dirty mind brought up "banging the sheep". Eew. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

20 IS the plot of more than one campaign I currently have going. Not intentionally, but still...
16 is a common tactic in our evil campaign. Bugbear Fighter throwing the halfling Barbarian.

63) If another player is playing a child, I will not play a pedophile just to create "dramatic tension", even if the player of the child is only doing so to abuse obscure stat boost/aging rules and deserves it.

65) Nothing about my character can be a reference to an obscure in-joke that makes me and/or anyone else at the table chuckle every time it comes up.

67) I am not allowed to use Mindrape ever, for any reason. In fact the spell no longer exists.

68) I am not allowed to create a pure CW Samurai character to kill the party wizard AND cleric, at the same time, just becasue I got bored and wanted to show them how unoptimized they are.

69) I am not allowed to create a barbarian if there is already a fighter in the party.

70) I am not allowed to instigate fights between party members just to see who will win.

71) I am not allowed to instigate a fight between the halfling and another player's mount just to make a Belkar reference.

72) My centaur character is not allowed to have a human parent and a horse parent.

81) I am not allowed to bluff the party wizard with high diplomacy into believing something so he can, in turn, use that high diplomacy skill to make the NPC with high insight believe him all because he actually believes in the lie I told him originally.

82) I may not bluff the monster into believing it's dead, not even on a 20. Even if the final result is a 31 a level 1.

83) I am no longer allowed to make characters with short term memory loss.

84) Regardless of how funny it is my gnome is not allowed to ride a german shephard as a mount.

85) My gnome also cannot wear all green and speak with an irish accent.

86) When I'm presented with the main plot hook of the game I am not allowed to answer "No thanks, I think I'd rather just stay home and play out my day to day life."

87) I am no longer allowed to barter with dragons.

88) I'm not allowed to use Alien 3 as an arguement that fire + ice should force a fortitude save or cause instant death.

(well, we can't all be skippy, so this'll have to make due)
