    There was a stand-up comic, I forget who, who did a bit about how two instruments at once is cool, any more is dorky, and it’s weird that that’s the case when you stop to think about it. A guy playing a guitar and a harmonica simultaneously is cool. But add a pair of cymbals and suddenly he’s a dweeb for some reason.

    * Doing psychic type damage with an attack does not enable me to make called shots to things like the motivation, happiness, memories or sense of wonder of my target.

    ** being both the party rogue and the apparent quartmaster of our adventuring group is allowed but only when no one checks my math.

    *** if they check my math a bluff check about “standard deductions “ won’t convince players even if it does convince characters

    * no more catching people trying to pickpocket me, giving them pointers and then directing them to better targets for a small finders fee.

    * “But I’m a dwarf” does not qualify as a reason for my my rogue to have a finesse type hammer

    I'm fairly certain this is a Steve Irwin reference.

    Edit:

    *"Because the dice said 'no', but I thought this would be funnier" is not a good enough excuse for giving the players a full-blown hurricane when they where trying to merely summon a small storm as cover for some shenanigans.
