Wait, how does assassin, discipline of the serpent, and spectacular beats combine to allow dimension hopping?

[up][up]Dimension hopping is part of the campaign. Sneak attacking people with flash floods is the combo.

Play the Witch as a sociopathic Joker on Monster Hearts. It literally derailed the entire game.

Oh yeah. First thing I did: cast wither on one of the P Cs and pick Darker Self. Then when the teacher slighted me, failed to hex her with Illusions (forcing me to hex her with Wither, again).

School ended up in lock down due to a possible contagion. tongue

[up] Sounds better than the game ending with an argument over correct use of the freestyle magic system.

Just broke out 3.5 books.

Rolled up a Kobold Wizard.

You should all know what that means.

It ended up with every demon, devil, and Yugoloth dead (with demons being continually murdered by the clones), all other gods rendered entirely ineffective or destroyed, and, generally, every sapient in the mortal realm living in joy as a demigod.

In fifteen minutes.

My GM is now in the bathroom; he exited the table with the distinct look of someone whose childhood has just been raped.

[up] If you didn't destroy the multiverse several times within one round, you did not use him properly.

You guys should all try playing with Freestyle Magic. it makes you a borderline god at level one.

My character is now sitting in the living room. He makes an attack roll to behead the GM...

If I am the party's Glass Cannon, I really shouldn't go Leeroy Jenkins on a gigantic spider-squid-Cthulhu hybrid. Never mind that I am more than capable of one-shotting the squishier members of the party, I still have less than half of the tank's max health. Especially when your entire power set revolves around movement, and said spider-squid-Cthulhu hybrid is specifically designed to lock down movement.

I am no longer allowed to suggest a Harmless Lady Disguise for infiltrating an enemy base.

I am to stop referring to my allies as Leeroy Jenkins when their battle tactics leave something to be desired.

"My character has a high enough passive perception score to realize she's in a Tabletiop RPG" is not a justifiable reason for metagaming.

I am not allowed to create a Vryloka Vampire with the Vampiric Heritage feat, even (nay, especially) if it's simply to make a point of how stupid the vampire rules for 4e are.

  • I cannot create a character for the sole purpose of getting cited on the Bad Roleplayers Suck Live Journal community.
  • "Five cups of coffee, an apple danish, and a copy of Wired" are not components for a technomancer ritual.
  • Writing my own game does not give me a license to create the worst case of Grappling with Grappling Rules ever seen.

In (an older edition of) Champions, I am not allowed to buy 10 levels of Overall Levels, spend the other 50 points on skills (including multiple Professions, Knowledges, and Languages) and have an 18- to succeed on ANY skill.

I am not allowed to spend all my points on Contacts. "Why, yes, I *do* just happen to be buddies with a zeppelin pilot! It's here on page 3 of the contact list. How convenient!"

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, I *am* allowed to have a Black Spiral Dancer as my Ancestral Ally. That actually worked out rather well.

A pretty tame one but I am no longer allowed to question the price of rust, dirt or murder victims.
