Re: D&D Demotivators Episode VI: Return of the JPEG
Afraid I don't have any posters, but I was looking through the Tumblr that's been set up and this one's been mis-tagged as being Warhammer. Easy mistake to make, but that Warmachine and Hordes - guys in the trench are from Warmachine, the thing above them is from Hordes.
Just thought I'd mention it in-case anyone was trying to find Warmachine/Hordes posters and that didn't come up.

Brilliant D&D song from Aussie comedy band Tripod.
If anyone can find a better-quality version of that, let me know.

Not directly. But there's plenty of abuse of various sorts that can let them reap Pun-Pun-esque benefits, especially considering that they canonically make absolutely loyal slave races that aren't immune to Manipulate Form. The point is that in a world that allows Pun-Pun the Sarrukhs would almost certainly have figured out the trick first.
I don't have the book on hand to check, but is there anything stopping a sarrukh from simply surpressing its own immunity?

Not to derail the thread, but page 177 of the PHB under the heading "Voluntarily failing a saving throw," states you can. It says a creature can willingly suppress any special resistance it might have, and uses an elf's racial immunity to sleep as an example.
If you can suppress one total immunity granted by your race, I don't see any reason why you couldn't suppress another total immunity granted by your race.
But maybe this has been fixed / clarified in the Rules Compendium or the Errata? It does seem an especially silly rule to me, like a fire elemental getting depressed and deciding to kill himself by suppressing his innate immunity to fire and being burned by his home plane.

I hadn't seen that before. It seems to apply only to spells though.
And since I've derailed long enough, inspired tax:
