questions, "boxers or briefs" is not an appropriate question, nor is

522: When GMing Twilight 2000 or any other modern military game, I must not
automatically assume that the player has the same military knowledge as the

party and they put me down like a rabid dog.

551. Even if the druid is a woodling, she cannot take tumbleweed as an
alternate form. (See # 252)
552. Not allowed to have the Lillend sing the opening theme to Ghost in the
Shell Stand Alone Complex Second Gig as a song for inspiring courage, even if
it is eerily fitting.
553. Not allowed to make a character that will have 30 strength by the time
they're level 13 using Savage Species progressions and wield a large greatsword
as an ancestral relic with a huge greatclub as a backup weapon just because she
has monkey grip and can easily afford the -2 to the attack roll ever again.
554. Not allowed to make a Lythari Psion with Vow of Poverty who gains the
Saint template ever again.
555. No, the Woodling cannot cast Shillelagh on her arm even though her natural
slam attack does do the same damage as a club wielded by someone of her size
category.
556. A half-dragon monk with aberrant blood, improved grapple, and the
half-giant base race is a grappling machine. This does not automatically mean
she can take out a professional wrestler at level 2.
557. Not allowed to ask the drow whether he has a panther or just likes having
two scimitars.
558. The Book of Vile Darkness is not acceptable reading material for a paladin
of Tyr.
559. Nor is it acceptable reading material for a cleric of Lathander.
560. The Cyrinnishad is not a toy and disguising it as the Book of Exalted
Deeds is a BAD IDEA.
561. Just because level 8 Initiates are required to create a cyberzombie
doesn't mean there's a few of them hanging around nearby as backup.
562. Just because the cyberzombie CAN carry and fire two LMGs with no recoil
penalties doesn't mean he HAS to.

keeping them?"
567. Cast Command on the evil cleric who has kidnapped me, then force him to
fetch me a shrubbery.
568. Greatsword sledding is not (and never will be!) a professional sport.
569. Just because the Kim Possible theme song tends to demonically play on
repeat in my head after watching it with childthings does not mean my
half-succubus vile cleric can use it as an incantation.

Club, just because the line is too long.
587. Not allowed to "Go looking for trouble" in Harlem when your
character is a pasty, white, computer nerd, even though your buddy is an Arms
