5105: Not allowed to base a game off of the video game "The Walking Dead".
5105a: Especially not allowed to rip off Penny Arcade's "On The Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness"!
RelentlessImp
How is Episode 3, anyways?

5016: Not allowed to make a street mage who outdoes the Face on social tests. It makes him sad.
ShadowDragon8685
5017: This is not Exalted, I am not allowed to make a face whose only social skills involve mentally dominating other people.

mentally dominating other people.


I built an exalted character that did that once.
Only my concept was that he was using people as fleshy robots. No one would realize that the guy they were seeing was a puppet until he got killed, and another unsuspecting meatbag would get dominated and show up again.
And even then...they might not figure it out.
Neraph
My nosferatu face is almost that, except he actually has Negotiation. I use Influence and Compulsion much more often, though.
Umidori
5108: I am no longer allowed to base a character / NPC / run / campaign / etc off of the Electric Six song "Infected Girls".
5108a: Nor "Witchy Witchy White Women".
5108b: Or pretty much anything to do with Electric Six at all.
5108c: Yes, that also includes their cover of Radio Ga Ga, with Dick Valentine as Freddie Mercury.

I will, out of necessity, be vague. But it involved me not having named their target, the significant other being a, well lets just say being an unpleasant person, and when they discovered the name of the person well…lets just say it was overheard, taken as an insult (which it was) and much drama ensued. LoL. This was some time ago, but I do not believe that particular person has ever forgiven me. my friend has of course…nyahnyah.gif

Now I want to make a wolf shifter with incredible leadership skills and powers, inspiring the party to amazing feats, beating out even the worst of odds, solely for the reason of giving form to the Courage Wolf meme.

Insanity Wolf would be hilarious, but far more likely to get the entire team slaughtered on their first run.

Insanity Wolf would be a great Face in a team where each and every member of the group was human with fully maximized Edge of 9. (There's the quality you can take to raise the natural maximum, remember.)

Okay, i'm curious, how do you get to nine. Eight's the max, even for a human.

Yeah, I don't remember a metagenetic or genetweak that gives extra edge.
ShadowDragon8685
It's neither Metagenetic or Genetweak. It's just a quality. "Lucky," IIRC. It raises the maximum.

But, I've typoed. I blame the fact that the "8" and "9" keys are directly adjacent to one another on the keyboard. smile.gif

Rule number #5024: I am no longer allowed to encourage the recent MMO convert to create a six-armed Minotaur with a light machine gun and the ability to wield six shotgun pistols simultaneously.
Amendment: I will not then use books the GM hasn't even heard of yet to optimize it beyond the group's existing veterans.
Amendment 2: I will most certainly not give said Minotaur the 'mood hair' negative surge quality so that his fur changes colour when he gets angry.
Amendment 3: No he most certainly does not have an evil twin.
Amendment 4: Nor may he take the 'blandness' positive quality.

Rule number #5025: Having my infiltration gun bunny carry exactly the right countermeasure to every challenge the GM can dream up on him at all times is annoying and may result in exploding safehouse syndrome.
Amendment: He had a trapdoor that dropped him into a second safehouse below that safehouse in case it ever blew up? show me that on his sheet. i don't believe you did that.
Amendment 2: You're really going to carry a parachute into the meet just because it's in a skyscraper?
Amendment 3: You fall to you death, unless you're wearing... oh.
Amendment 4: What do you mean he's rigged every building within a block of his home to blow?

Rule number #5025: The male hooker mage may no longer use orgy on civilians. ever.

5026: I am no longer allowed to suggest that my PC should watch over the 17 year old daughter dependent of one of the PCs, who is extremely overprotective, while the rest of the team is out cavorting around.
5026a: Even though I have assured the PC that my PC has no ill-intended thoughts on the matter.
5026b: I am no longer allowed to have my PC suggest that the aforementioned dependent stay in the same hotel room as the PC that typically lives in coffin hotels and suggested we go to Prague because of how dirty it was and that they have great prostitutes.

5027: I am no longer allowed to check a HK-227X modded with chameleon coating, electronic firing, and extended clip in my checked luggage on flights. Even though the weapon is entirely legal and I have the paperwork to be carrying it and despite having a built in suppressor, it just causes way to many headaches to deal with it.

Actually, because i am an ass like that, that little bit of useless trivia may just make it into SRO as an EasterEgg . .
Would have to pester Sangius and PrimeTide a bit more about this though i guess ^^

2030: My technomancer's sprites are no longer allowed to be Advice Animals.

The first game I ran, the Techno's sprites were all advice animals, then I sent them to the moon to fight Insanity Wolf on S-K's moon base.
