Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
*Vecna's eye may not be used in marbles
**While amusing conceptually, using Vecna's hand instead of a bottle for spin the bottle is right out.
***While unorthodox usage of Vecna's anything will indeed take me farther along the path to evil, it bothers the other players.

* The solution to squabbling over the hand of Vecna is not too grab a knife and ask the wizard to cast Plane Shift.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
*I may not describe the party's Lawful Evil Swordsage as a Xianxia protagonist.
**I may not have the party's Totem Rager Blackblood Cultist be referred to as "The Blascowitz's estranged tribal cousin"
***I may not insist the party's Residual Magic Echoing Spell Practical Metamagic Sublime Chord always have boots to walk on water.
****I may not torturously ensure the party's metamagic abusing Incantatrix can never let go of their technically-not-hands workarounds or else immediately be forced to Silent Still everything.
*****I must not, under any circumstances, describe the level 30 fight against the Readied Action abusing high Fly speed Celestial-made Colossal Construct with a highly-optimized blasting Drilbu as "A Young Master, Shamanistic Doom Slayer, Kobold Yodeler Jesus, and Doctor Strange have brought Psychic Angelic Wing Zero upon themselves"
Edit: This is purely an exercise in making referential humor of some builds
Spoiler: Explanation for Kobold Yodeler JesusThe thing about Kobold Yodeler Jesus is that Echoing Spell lets you repeat spells at -4 CL until the CL is too low to cast the base version of the spell, before metamagic adjustments, and metamagic shenanigans are mostly Arcane so to apply it to healing, which cares relatively little for CL, you pretty much need to go Bard. Which also buys you a +4 CL for a Bardic Music and DC 30 Perform check, alongside Arcane Thesis being another +2 CL, so you can Arcane Thesis Cure Severe Wounds at CL 26 for five instances, if we go with the minimum CL being 7 as a Bard spell.
You need Arcane Preparation to qualify for Echoing Spell, and for it to function properly, but this creates a much better end result than using a Death Master in an all-Undead party, as it takes a much smaller slice of your versatility and less investment since you only need the one extra feat of qualifications. And you can burn the slots when they're low CL for other things that scale by spell slots, such as using Master Wand to follow a casting with burning a last-use to apply your full static CL to a Cure Severe Wounds from the item without spending a charge of it off of Residual Magic.
Your Practical Metamagic (which requires Dragonblooded, hence Kobold) is actually probably going on Maximize, bringing it to only +1 spell level on Cure Serious Wounds and +2 elsewhere, so your 4th-level slots are Maximized for a lot more healing than Cure Critical Wounds at "base" and fit more varied multiplying metamagic in your higher-level slots, because you use Residual Magic to take each 4th level Echoing Cure Moderate Wounds and apply Echoing to another six slots, maybe seven if you can squeeze enough CL, regaining the spell slots in the process. Then when you need one of your other Known spells, you can burn the slot. It's an extremely huge amount of healing from very few slots, and if you have anything to consume spell slots separately from spellcasting you can perfectly well burn the Arcane Preparation slots after using them for healing several times.
Just the initial 5th-level CL 26 Echoing Cure Serious Wounds Echoes at CLs 22, 18, 14, and 10. With an Orange Prism, you increase these by 1 and get a sixth CL 7 instance. Together, this is 18d8+63 healing, average 144, from a single 5th-level slot. And each of these can carry Echoing Spell onto another spell slot with Cure Serious Wounds prepared thanks to Residual Magic's other mode, which allows you to copy a metamagic you put on a spell onto another copy of the spell cast in the next round, though this does not apply to external metamagic sources, including this function itself.
The underlying point of it is that you put a lot of feats into getting to be a high-power party healer from all of six spell slots while having terrible metamagic abuses available for other functions. You can also Practical Metamagic Echoing Spell itself to make it +2 spell levels elsewhere, allowing you to cast 7th-level power spells four times with a 9th-level slot on the job. And this is all just at level 20, you can do far worse madness in Epic. Like getting Permanent Emanation on Infernal Threnody/Hymn of Praise for a +2 CL on all your spellcasting, which may double your instances by applying each time. If we read it as allowing per-casting CL modifiers each time, you have the tools to have a second Arcane Thesis to slowly climb CLs on these 1/hour slots and load every metamagic you know into them
...If I knew "consume enemies for power" effects in 3.5 off the top of my head, I'd have included that in the Swordsage instead of directly stating Alignment.Last edited by Morphic tide; 2021-06-10 at 06:24 PM.

* May not use playing a Getimian as an excuse to intentionally mispronounce Sidereal Exalted as "Side-reels"
** Not even if its perfectly in character for Getimians to not have any respect for them.
*** My Getimian does not come from Gunstar Autochthonia
**** Or Heaven's Reach
***** Or Exalted Modern
****** My Getimian may not be obsessed with the correcting Creation so that it has more magitech
******* My Getimian is not an isekai protagonist from any version of Earth
******** They are not from alternate pasts
********* Nor are they from futures that will never happen.
********** Winter Caste Getimians do not come from worlds of literal eternal winter
* Liminals have other mortals they tie their thread of life to other than beautiful women who keep fires.
** May not see what happens if two Liminals above essence 3 link their life threads to each other
*** Liminals do not respawn near bonfires
**** Nor can they learn Dark Souls Pyromancy
***** My Liminal may not try to challenge run Creation in only their skivvies wielding only a club and wooden board shield
****** My Liminal does not have Melee specialization of "Parry God"
******* They may however Praise the Sun.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
* I am not supposed to humiliate the GM in Traveler by designing a free trader that outguns half of his Starfleet. (Not the individual ships; half of the fleet at the same time.)
* I don't care if Rolemaster grants XP for kills; the Sorceror in my campaign is not supposed to level up 1 point at a time by testing his shock bolts on woodland creatures.
** Nor is the party allowed to ride peasants face first down the mountainside anymore and claim they've invented "serfing".

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
More complciated than that... Gary G. himself was at least fine with Gai-Gax, may even have called himself that. The Swiss pronunciation is indeed different, something like you suggested, but but in interviews I've seen and so on, that's not what he seemed to use. He was born in America, but his father was Swiss, so presumably his father would have pronounced his name that way.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I have an ancestor with the surname of Titsler. When they moved to Wisconsin their daughter got much grief for the first letters thereof and eventually changed it to Tetzler. Her father and siblings followed suit. I don't know why Gygax would have changed his pronunciation, but his father might have gone along with it.

The comedian Mike Birbiglia has a bit about this sort of things. His delivery is much better than mine, but the gist of it is that when people tell him "In Italy it's pronounced Bir-bil-ia" he replies "Well, in America, you're annoying"

Huh, I've had occasional issues with characters who wear trousers but not shirts. Apparently lady lumps make all the difference no matter their size1.
1 Like, realistically you want support there even for and small breasts, but this was a fantasy game where well endowed elf maidens wore leaves.Last edited by Anonymouswizard; 2021-06-13 at 12:25 PM.

Well, it is now!
