Even if the GM knows what you are doing, doesn't mean the party will understand. Especially if it involves cutting a burning corpse up.

Addendum to my previous post: Especially if you are all at level one and an 18 does not hit this barbarian's AC and he has a two handed greataxe.

OK, two things: 1, the bullrushes did end up working eventually, and 2, I HAVE NO IDEA what you're planning to do with a charred dismembered dwarf corpse.

Although I do have a theory. Check your P Ms.

Not allowed to convince the entire party to be druids.

...and that's terrible.

The party is no longer allowed to muse Power Perversion Potential during the game. Save if for before or after people, we waste enough time looking up to see if something is possible in the rules as is!

In the future if I ever am able to play D&D, do you think people would take issue if I made a bard that was pretty clearly based of Lemmy Kilmister?

As a GM, I am never allowed to make wild encounters have boss fights. Because those damn P Cs will catch them and absolutely destroy balance.

Also, never allowed to let Honip speak. He is on permanent "Shut up, Honip." watch.

-No more Warhammer Fantasy and Dn D crossovers.

-Yes, that means I can't persuade another player to roll a Lawful Good Skaven Cleric.

-If David Bowie winds up on the pantheon as the polar opposite to the god of vinegar again, everyone dies, no save.

-Sometimes, talking the DM into house-ruling a new species of elf is okay. Having them be Catholic, in a normal Dn D game, is not.

  • It doesn't matter if common is not Krezznorg's first language, Krezznorg can't speak in third person because Krezznorg's dialogue confuses the DM.
    • Even if Krezznorg's hugeness is supreme, he still has a need for logic.
  • I am not allowed to make a Power Ranger in a Mutants and Masterminds game.
    • Until the second, "Global Heroes United" campaign.
      • Even then, I have to make sure his Sentai team's theme isn't taken.
      • You know what, I'll just make a Kamen Rider.

...and that's terrible.

-Yes, that means I can't persuade another player to roll a Lawful Good Skaven Cleric.

This is clearly the greatest idea ever. Though how on Earth a Skaven could ever be Lawful Good is beyond me.

[up] Well, it's all a matter of perspective and finding somewhere with the right set of laws.

And on that note: I am not allowed to declare the huge dungeon we just cleared out as a sovereign nation.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Well, it's simple, really. Give something enough warpstone and eventually, it's gonna be like monkeys typing on keyboards but with genetic code. Just keep pushing skaven through this until you get a Lawful Good one. Lord knows they breed fast enough and are SCIENCE enough you won't run out.

Then punt his ass over to the Dungeons and Dragons universe through your abomination against reality of choice and then get him in the priesthood as a sort of apology.

Not allowed to make "Choo choo!" noises at the GM when the P Cs are falsely arrested and forced into laboring for the local lord.

Play a Cleric in 3.5.
