    *Any build that will let me successfully bluff a God into thinking that I'm a more powerful god while also being able to back it up if the bluff is called without actually being anything resembling a deity is banned.

    *In a Marvel Superheroes Game with the theme of being Kid Hero Legacy characters, I can't be the child of Cletus Kassady and Frances Barrison.
    **Not even if I have a detailed backstory with citations of in-universe lore full of deep cuts to justify her powers being what they are.
    ***Not even if I've planned out a narrative arc of the child overcoming her inherent antisocial tendencies
    ****Cassie has to go back int he folder of OCs I'll never use.

    * My no longer suggest that our sorcerer attune to the cloak of invisibility we found in a chest in a cavern deep, deep in the underdark.
    ** May no longer swear profusely as I try to tear the cloak off of him as it begins to poison him (Yea, cursed cloak of poisoning, or some such).

    * My superhero backstory can't be "raised by the most toxic Bat-Family expy possible"
    ** Similarly my Superman expy can't be "adjusting not the superman side of it, but the normal man side of it to be more accurate and colorful to what a normal person is so that the normal man is more sympathetic"
    *** My Spiderman expy can't just post superhero donation goals on patreon and Kofi.
    **** nor can they just twitch stream their own superheroics.
    I'm also on discord as "raziere".

    *In a Marvel Superheroes game, I can not subvert anti-symbiote measures by having my symbiote legally registered as an emotional support animal.
    **Nor can I support anti-mutant measures by having Mutant PCs registered as a the same.
    ***My argument can't be "half the time they're legally not human, the bigots have to have expected people to take advantage, right?"

    * May no longer attack the undead in the clothier's shop while other customers are there, lest I upset our barbarian.
    ** Even if that undead is Strahd.
    *** May not compliment him for being a snappy dresser.
    **** May no longer challenge the priest's assertion that "this is holy ground" by using Divine Sense to expose three undead who are sitting right there in the church.
    ***** Even if I am a paladin, I may not do that.
    ****** May no longer bring meat pies as snacks for the bard's pet saber toothed tiger.

    * I may no longer make characters that the DM finds interesting/amusing. They get integrated into the plots and then things just go strange because my characters are universally weirdoes.

    * The DM may no longer name all the towns on his map by demanding the players come up with them. That's how you get the towns of Atlanta, Bob, Nordburg, Ni, and Zoidburg.
    Times being what they are, the stars aligning and the End of All Things barely registered as background noise.

    At a bit of a loss as to what to do next, and with bills to pay, a certain Elder Thing has taken up bartending.

    This is...

    Nah, that's fine, you'll just have the drawback that it can only be summoned shortly before quarter past six.

    * May no longer join a Drow caravan in the Underdark under the premise that we are a freak show hired by a Drow noble house for their amusement... we responded to a want ad in a sending.

    ** May not explain that I (the bearded lady, rogue, thanks Belt of Dwarvenkind), the stupid dwarf (INT 5), the Athlete (Fighter) and the Strong man (Barbarian) are accompanied by the stage magician (Sorcerer) and the Jongleur (Bard) for light entertainment.

    *** May not then roll a 36 on a Charisma (Persuasion) check to convince the guards at the gate to the inner city that because we two ladies are leading the troupe, the males will follow our orders and are our servants/boy toys.

    Spoiler: The item in question
    Show
    Belt Of Dwarvenkind | Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
    While wearing this belt, you gain the following benefits:

    • Your Constitution score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20.
    • You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with dwarves.

    In addition, while attuned to the belt, you have a 50 percent chance each day at dawn of growing a full beard if you’re capable of growing one, or a visibly thicker beard if you already have one.

    If you aren’t a dwarf, you gain the following additional benefits while wearing the belt:
    • You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
    • You have darkvision out to a range of 60 feet.
    • You can speak, read, and write Dwarvish
