[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 5340388, member: 47839"] [LIST] [*]Friends don't let friends use wands/rods of wonder. [*]Its pronounced koo-day-grah, not coup-da-grace. [*]Fireballs might be sexy, but a shaped gliterdust will make your DM cry. [*]Killing a Kender (as a singleton, in small numbers, or even as a race) is not a crime. If the Kender in question is a PC, it is a mercy to the rest of the party. [*]Never, ever, ever draw 1 to 4 cards from a Deck of Many Things, ever! [*]Someone has to pay the stupid tax. If you help someone avoid paying it for their own actions it generally will be transferred to you instead. [*]A goblin vampire is a great foil/villain for a DM to use against the party. On the other hand, if you are the on the player side of this, it sucks. [*]Never let the drunk dwarven [insert class here] with CHA as a dump stat be the party face. Otherwise make sure your PC has soap-on-a-rope for the inevitable trip to the King/Prince/Duke/Baron's prison. [*]Wishes are for suckers. [*]Intelligent magic items sound like a great idea until you get one, then you will suddenly want to book passage on a ship so you can dump it overboard in the deepest ocean. [*]There is a reason that most spells that allow you to travel to other planes are high level. If you DM lets you get there before you can cast one of these, its a trap. [*]Why do you need a rogue to disarm traps if you have a Barbarian? [*]When a "friend" of the DM shows up to play in one session of your ongoing campaign you will be betrayed. [*]Paladins are a pain but you can mitigate that by getting them to violate their paladin code and then they are just annoying fighters. [*]Remember to shake the halfling thief upside down when leaving the dungeon. Stuff seems to just fall into the most unlikely places on their person on "accident." [/LIST] EDIT: Forgot to add... [LIST] [*]If the party wizard has to allow himself to be swallowed by the Advanced Fiendish T-Rex of Legend to save your PC by teleporting your stomach-acid melted body to safety while the rest of the party runs for their collective lives, yes you did something stupid and wrong... stop making excuses.
