All Thri-Kreen gain a bonus to Bluff checks made to cause distractions by drawing attention to them if they shout "Help! I'm really a South African bureaucrat!"

All characters wearing a tunic reading "Do you smell what Hamanu is cooking?" gain a bonus to Diplomacy checks with Urikite templars.

Former templars of Abalach-Re who resemble Charlton Heston gain a bonus to intimidate checks when starting their demands with "Let my people-".

Any others?

All Thri-kreen spend their torpor communing with the spirits of their ancestors, who are all Jewish mothers.

"Have you been eating all your elf? You're all hide and chitin!"

Women players who attend in a bikini utilize a daily power called "Aspect of Lalai-Puy"

Players whose histrionic elves die due to testing the other character's loyalty get to make a new character of a level equal to the former's.

Halfling characters get a feature called "Cannibal's Bite," which is a minor action, at-will attack with range one that becomes available when an adjacent enemy becomes bloodied.

Female characters wearing a tunic that says, "Nibenay is my babies daddy" get Diplomacy and Bluff bonuses against the Templar-Wives.

The "Elven Love Slave" Skill.

 When someone goes to the bathroom or otherwise leaves the table, slip it onto their character sheet, and see how long before they notice.  Even if they aren't an elf...ESPECIALLY if they aren't an elf.

Play your game in central Texas in the middle of August.

Oh, wait.  Ugh.
