1. Not allowed to turn banishing the Lord of the Hunt into a habit.

2. If the party finds itself in a large hollow metal sphere, not allowed to roll it around the city.

3. Harsh language and witty repartee are not adequate replacements for actual spells.

4. Listing "Sarcasm" as a bonus language does not give me any circumstance bonuses to Sense Motive.

5. I am not Sarah Connor.

In a computer RPG, if the random number generator hates you, you fail in your task.

In a tabletop RPG, if the dice hate you, you fail in your task creatively.

"Your character would rather run than fight? A coward, in other words?"

"That's right."

"Why does she have Danger Sense, then?"

"So she knows when to run away."

"And Direction Sense?"

"So she knows where to run to."

CLARIFICATION: All these are things which have happened in various tabletop roleplaying games. Everything here falls into one of three categories:
- Something I have been explicitly told not to do.
- Something another member of the party has been explicitly told not to do.
- Something that was allowed in-game, but would be a stupendously bad idea to repeat, if only for DM sanity.

RULE ZERO: Not allowed to give the DM any ideas.

1. Not allowed to wield magic lightsaber in public.

2. Not allowed to make Warforged monk named The Iron Chef.

3. Not allowed to make Warforged bard named Soundwave.

4. Warforged druids do not exist, much less be able to "transform and roll out".

5. "By Loki's Luscious Llamas" is not an acceptable blasphemy.
5a. Nor is "By Crusader's Cancerous Crabs".
5b. Or "By Selune's Surprising Sausage".
5c. Or "By Bacchus's Bendable Bladder".

6. Not allowed to make speed-based superhero named Breaking Wind.

7. Not allowed to declare Dodge against self.
7a. Even if it helps.

8. No longer allowed to summon the Lord of the Hunt in a public restroom.

9. Jellyfish do not get a meaningful initiative roll.

10. Not allowed to take over Boston by accident.

11. Even if the rules allow it, there are no ninjas in a pirate campaign.

12. Not allowed to have a monkey familiar named The Librarian.

13. Pizza delivery is not an optimal use for Werewolf warform.

14. Not allowed to call a Wand of Magic Missiles "the missile launcher".

15. Being Asian does not automatically mean I have points in Kung Fu.

While I realize that this will probably be completely invalid due to some unspoken assumption about the rules, I have this odd urge to come up with a suitably portentous and impressive-sounding spell in the Mage: The Awakening system that utilized the Death and/or Spirit arcana, probably at least at four dots, and would be called The Ghosts Of Ten Billion Mosquitoes.

Just some random ideas I came up with for Creative Thaumaturgy in the Mage: The Awakening system. I'm not sure how valid any of these are, but I'm sure that some of them have been thought of before.

EDIT: A discussion last session about how Time didn't seem to have any real direct attack spells kept me thinking, and I wonder if this would work: ( assuming I interpreted it correctly.Collapse )

"You're in a safe place now. Nobody's shooting at you anymore. What are you going to do?"

"Bleed."

"Does the jellyfish get an initiative roll?"
