    * Just because a dead body is technically an Object and can therefore be considered an "Item", it does not mean you can make a Medium sized Body and 4 Small bodies via Performance of Creation and Creative Crescendo

    ** I am not allowed to cast Animate Objects on any bodies created in that way as pseudo-Undead

    *** I am not allowed to use Animating Performance on one of the bodies after Animate Object ends

    **** I am no longer allowed to play high level Creation Bards
    Never let the fluff of a class define the personality of a character. Let Clerics be Atheist, let Barbarians be cowardly or calm, let Druids hate nature, and let Wizards know nothing about the arcane

    Fun Fact: A monk in armor loses Martial Arts, Unarmored Defense, and Unarmored Movement, but keep all of their other abilities, including subclass features, and Stunning Strike works with melee weapon attacks. Make a Monk in Fullplate with a Greatsword >=D

    * When introducing my new Player Character to the group, having a bitter feud with the local leader/quest giver because "The old fool refuses to recognize my genius!" is not a way to reassure them of my character's competence. Or sanity.

    ** The fact that the sanity, at least by human standards, is very definitely questionable, does not help (gnomes, wheee!)

    *** When it comes out that the reason that my character joined the group without a backwards glance to his thriving business is "What about this (gnomish) country makes you think my people have anything even vaguely resembling good impulse control?", it probably won't help.
    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.

    * May not postulate that Goku, Saitama and so on think of the joy of battle too narrowly
    ** May not further explain that there are actually at least Three Joys of Battle:
    *** The First Joy of Battle is not defeating a weaker foe stylishly in an impractical manner to show off
    **** The Second Joy Battle is not defeating an equal foe with pure force with adrenaline rushing through one's veins, the joy everyone focuses on
    ***** The Third Joy of Battle is not defeating a greater foe through cleverness and skill to counter their greater power.

    I mean, Saitama specifically wants the second one, and the third and possibly second one physically can't be a thing for him either.

    * Setting the building on fire is not the solution to every problem. Especially if I'm playing the paladin.
    * If my paladin is the most ruthless character in the party, something has gone wrong somewhere.
    * Before playing a werewolf, I will make sure that none of the existing PCs have "Hates Werewolves" as an Aspect.
    * Destroying the moon was the correct course of action this time. It never will be again.

    At some point Terry Pratchett essentially said that if someone is trying to kill you, pray they are evil. Good people who decide you have to die will just kill you and get it over with where evil people will drag it out with torture and monologueing.

    * No matter how evil they are, having the BBEG kill the players with their monologue is not fun.
