Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
Why is casting curse of burning sleep better for keeping the bbeg from escaping your wrath than just hitting him with a damage spell when you otherwise would have cast the curse?

Well, if the BBEG is surrounded by thugs and soldiers (too many to confront at this particular juncture) and doesn't yet know of your existence, a fireball might announce your presence before you are ready. A misc. saving throw doesn't point directly back to you, so Curse of the Burning Sleep is a stealthier option.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
I just like the fact that Geology is the ONLY branch of science (other than food science) where licking unknown samples is not only not the worst thing you can do, but is actually encouraged.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
I think it's also used in Paleontology to see if what you're licking is a fossil or a rock? (Fossils stick to your tongue because they're porous iirc)
*May not use this as excuse to lick any actual living dinosaurs we encounter.
**Or animated dino skeletons, for that matter.LGBTQIA+ITP

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
All from my campaign:
* "Chaotic Garlic Bread" is not an acceptable alignment
* I may not spend more time on the physics, metaphysics, and magic system of my campaign world than on the actual campaign itself
** Especially if nobody else is ever going to know anything about it unless they explicitly decide to research it, which they probably won't do
* "Be able to create a black hole" is not an ability that anybody should ask for when they are level 2
* I may not copy multiple scenes and monsters from a book that exactly one player at the table knows
** Especially if the other players think that it's a Monty Python reference
* The monster that the players are most scared of should not be one of the weakest encounters in the dungeon
** Yes, it's large. And breathes fire. But it's not even 1/100th of the strength of a dragon
*** OH COME ON. It's basically just an overgrown worm. The players should not plan for half an hour to defeat it
* Intimidating the giant rabid poison dart frog with a spear-like tongue is not a valid tactical decisionAvatar by me

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
* I probably am not allowed to mind control the party, but I can set up things so that they can be mind controlled in future by me and/or by the BBEG if they share certain abilities with me
** I probably am not advised to use instant save or die spells 6 rounds into an encounter solely because I have to go home irl and I could have finished the encounter in the first round but chose not to for drama
*** Yes Flour is explosive if in the air as a particulant if exposed to flame due to the surface areas exposed and whatnot. No, that will not work.OI YOU! Join this one Discord where people talk 3.5 stuff! Also chicken infested related things! It’s pretty rad! https://discord.gg/6HmgXhUZ

*I may not rules lawyer a demon into ceasing to exist by arguing the technicalities of a magically binding nonaggression pact we'd previously formed.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
* I may not cast a minor illusion to make it appear as though my lower jaw has been melted off my face in order to intimidate a tweaker into giving us the information the party needs.
** Especially after our winged Dragonborn has already grappled said tweaker and flown over 60 feet into the air with him to accomplish the same purpose.
*** Definitely do not do this in the exact same place your Dragonborn flew with the dude, since that will attract city guards and end with the whole party in jail.
* No more headbutting fellow party members for following me around.
* Never use Thaumaturgy to yell at a Great Mage to give us back our Cleric. The Cleric will intentionally stay longer and has a 50/50 chance of returning with a bag of magical cocaine for our Druid.
* Use another player's unconscious body as bait, a humanoid shield, a distraction, or a seat.Quotes from my adventuring party:
"They're not really innards anymore. They're out-ards."
"Your lower back burns from the death glare of a dwarf."
"What's Thor gonna do, zap me?"
"Is it drugs?"
"I set my weapons on the ground." "Do you set your brain down, too?"

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
Another campaign, another post here...
* If the rulebook begins with the disclaimer "This is intended as a work of parody and should not be mistaken for a real roleplaying
game.", we will not play a year-long campaign of it.
** If it goes on to specify "Anyway, have fun, and don't take roleplaying too seriously!" I will not take my character too seriously.
*** Just because we've ignored the previous two bullet-points doesn't mean our goal is to break the DM's mind every session with things that belong on this thread.
* Just because we haven't seen a limit to an NPC's ability to duplicate bodies doesn't mean she can double 95 times and create a black hole
** There is no canon that ectoplasm is even subject to Fermi-Dyrac mechanics, much less specifics to calculate its degeneracy pressure from
*** I can't just hand-wave "probably less than neutronium"
* If the DM feels the need to obtain a physical hammer and put the word "ban" on it, we've gone too far
** No stealing and hiding the hammer while he writes on the masking tape
* In a roll-and-keep system, you should never roll a negative number of dice
** Especially not for *all* social skills
*** :: If you must do this, roll and keep as if positive, then negate
**** No trying to antagonize someone, rolling negatively on the task, and using this to become friends
***** If your social skills are that bad, you probably shouldn't be organizing academic conferences
* Ontology does not follow the wave equation
** Even in the astral sea
*** No matter what the anatomy of space-whales would suggest
* Transformation spells do not have eigendecompositions
And from our recent one-shot:
* If a psionic power is limited in the weight of object it can effect, that does not make it vastly more powerful in microgravity.
** If our DM boasted about how this system isn't full of logical issues and holes, we should not spot this one in the very first session.Looking for a monster? Making a monster?

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
From an adventurer's league session:
*We may not capture the goldfish handler with an animated rope bridge.
**The party may not intimidate him using the aforesaid animated bridge and a necromancer with two blue skeletons
***The skeletons especially may not be called Oingo and Boingo
****We may not then kill alll of the prospective replacement goldfish and have the necromancer turn his familiar into a goldfish in order to have a spy.
*****We may not then follow him to the Xanathar's ship, sneak through the ship using the hide bonuses granted by some low-level spells, making even a roll of 1 be higher than the \perception of any creature on the ship, and steal what we came there to steal without fighting the Xanathar
******After that, we may not add insult to injury by unsummoning the familiar and having the Xanathar attack everything around himAvatar by me
