Things I May No Longer Do While Playing VI: This Isn't A Checklist, We Swear!

[Mrc.]

Welcome to the sixth installment in this thread series. As usual, we are always willing to lend a kind ear to your frustrations on things that have been banned, vetoed or just plain killed off at your table. Previous threads are listed below:

[Any] Things I may no longer do while playing.
Things I May No Longer Do While Playing II: Stop Making The DM Cry
Things I May No Longer Do While Playing III: I May Not Iron Heart Surge Rule Zero
Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
Things I May No Longer Do While Playing V: Pun & Pun, Rules-Attorneys at Law

Note: if you're going to use numbers, please keep the numbering in order. This means:
1) don't add sub-rules to previous numbers--people will think that number is the current one
2) look to make sure that the last post isn't a sub-rule to a previous number

I suggest using asterisks, though, as the first thread did.
