Darkxarth 07-11-06, 12:10 AM	4. Don't trust ANY NPC. 5. Don't attack another player, this almost always leads to bad feelings. 6. Let the BBEG have his speech, interrupting often leads to a sudden, violent death.

angryman 07-11-06, 08:52 AM	24: Never trust the party wizard either. All my PC wizards have spells specially memorised to, er, "neutralise" unruly party members. 25: Charisma is not a dump stat if your DM is smart. Never put it below 6-7. 26: Never tell the paladin about your assassination attempts. In fact, it's best not to tell him much about anything. 27: Never let anyone immature play a paladin. 28: Never say "This room's not trapped", and jump up and down to prove it. Some traps are triggered by weight. 29: Don't underestimate the power of level 1 mooks to kill you in your sleep.
JWT 07-11-06, 12:51 PM	30. If this is a Gygax module, never let the prisoners join the group. Just don't do it. 31. Never mock the low level spellcasters in your party unless you are a) sure they do not have sleep or charm person, and b) you are sure the campaign won't go to high levels.

Archmage_Vall 07-13-06, 11:40 PM	51. Never split up the party. 52. Never let the wizard with 7 charisma be the party spokesman, unless you're dealing with a mages guild and you have no sorcerer. The mages don't take bards seriously, either. 53. Never let the rogue loot anything without someone else, preferably a paladin, watching him do it. 54. Never steal anything from another PC. They WILL find out about it eventually and they WILL have their revenge...eventually.
Benicus 07-14-06, 09:07 PM	55. Never do nothing, for the DM will obviously send a Hellfire Wyrm at you 56. Never miss a session, because when you come back the player who was playing your charicter will be laughing immensly saying "Yeah, your char's dead. I made you this nice new female goblin bard which is 8+ levels lower than us." 57. Never miss a session, or else you may be mutineyed out of the group 58. The DM reserves the right to be late for a session 59. If you do insult the DM he reserves the right to strip you of all exp/equipment/friends and send you up against a 8th level Minotaur Barbarian/Frenzied Berserker with a +5 Flaming longsword of Viciousness. --- ahh good times

SeptimusMagistos 07-15-06, 07:14 PM	67. Never kill Peter Pan. Not only will he chop you to pieces with a strange consistency of behind-the-screen natural 20s, but you will regret it if you somehow succeed. YOU WILL! 68. Never bore the DM. 69. Never fight a giant spider at 1st level. Why? You'll see. 70. Never take over the world. The DM will make you spend all your time ruling it.
IrishRover 07-16-06, 02:01 AM	Never skip a rl sparring session to game--that's when the coach will be teaching a new strategy that will get you knocked on your a** the next time you get in the ring. (Really happened--I missed one boxing class, and almost got knocked on my rear...)
UndeadMouse 07-16-06, 09:23 AM	72: just because you're guide through the wilderness looks really nasty, that doesn't mean he is evil. 73: never think that because the DM says there is nothing in the room, that there actually is nothing in the room.
