Things Screwball Can No Longer Do in Pony Tales: AoH
Inspired by this list.
1. I am not allowed to make a Hippogriff with the Archlich destiny simply so that I can turn myself into a 1/day high-velocity missile.
2. Even though it says "a magical instrument of your choosing", I may not pick a pipe organ for Rock and Roll All Night.
3. Not allowed to use the baby dragon as a Zippo lighter. No, not even after Applejack already did.
4. A foal is not small enough to be absorbed using Inkbound Item.
5. I cannot have a cutie mark in Winning.
6. No, I can't have a cutie mark in Losing, either.
7. The above also goes for Mediocrity.
8. When playing a zebra, I cannot choose "Racial Slurs" for my unique way of talking.
9. The DM is not a valid target for Maddening Mockery.
10. Not allowed to convince the other PCs to choose the boon A Place of Your Own for the express purpose of opening a bordello.
11. The Master of Madness destiny is off-limits for me.
12. For that matter, the Laughter element is off-limits for me, too.
13. I cannot choose "internal organs" as the object for the Found It! utility talent.
14. Under no circumstances may I sneak into the griffon's tent at night, stick an apple in my mouth, and coat myself in a honey glaze.
15. If I pick the Dragon Diciple destiny, I am not allowed to try to "bump off" my dragon mentor in order to immediately reach Level 10.
16. Princess Celestia's throne room is never a good place to use Spectral Tsunami.
17. Even with a Cutie Mark Critical, there is no skill roll high enough that would allow me to use Weather-Crafting to make it rain chocolate milk.
18. No matter how good or what methods used to create a disguise, I cannot impersonate any famous threat to Equestria and stage a "glorious return".
19. Not allowed to play a baby dragon if the campaign spends any length of time in the Crystal Empire.
20. If I kill the campaign's main villain, then I am not allowed to bring him back using Resurrection without a good reason.
21. While It's a Long Way to the Top gives me "a +20 bonus to skill checks made to seduce people", this does not mean "everyone, all at the same time".
22. No matter how good the reason or how integral it is to his backstory, my character does not have equinophobia.
23. I am not allowed to trick the campaign's main villain and a fellow party member into drinking a Love Poison.
24. The use of Poison Joke does not grant me a circumstance bonus to gourmet cooking.
25. Discord is never a valid partner for the Dynamic Duo destiny.
Anyone have more?

Haha, I disagree with #2 because pipe organs are awesome and I don't see what's so wrong with chocolate milk. Now... bits... that'd be a different story.

Actually, I'd love to see the RP for number 23. In the right campaign that would be hilarious.

Two or three are Mr Welch, but fit here too.
119: Trying to convert party members to your cult is in bad taste.
120: Even if you're the only healer.
121: At -29 HP is not the "ideal time" to try proselytizing to them.
122: Just because you were left with the element of magic, doesn't mean you're forbidden from being honest, generous, loyal, or kind.
123: I may not reveal my backstory piece by piece until its clear I'm just playing a ponified Joe Pesci.
124: Joe Pesci is not a valid destiny, either.
125: And he's not a dragon, so I must stop trying to make him my mentor.
126: I mustn't insist on the entire party pronouncing it "Alecorns", even if that's more correct.
127: I cannot summon windigoes on command by bickering with the pegasus.
128: They do not prefer to be called "Mudponies", as it turns out.
129: If my character is based in any way on Dwarf Fortress, they're automatically vetoed.
130: No plan may include the words "and hope he's allergic to peanut butter".
131: Being a changeling does not mean you get to play a gender-swapped version of anyone in the party.
132: My character's name is not Hugh Mann.
133: I may not start the game with a crippling fear of trees, open spaces, or penguins.
134: Luna is free; the Lunar Resistance is not "a thing".
135: Blowing every per-day ability I have in a skill challenge against another party member is unadvised.
136: Twitchy Tail cannot be used to pry about the PH's personal life.
137: The World Canon and The World Cannon are vastly different things.
138: There is no World Cannon.
139: I cannot be a 50' tall pegasus just because so many powers stipulate "smaller than yourself".
140: Even if we're not playing Paranoia, knowledge of the rulebook is ultra-violet clearance.
141: Timber Wolves cannot get the Blaze On utility.
142: I cannot will all my items to "the new party member who will join the party a day or two after I die".
143: Using magic does not make a character a witch.
144: ...Nor necessitate burning them at the stake.
145: My zebra does not have Tourettes.
146: You can't gain an immunity to Poison Joak, so stop giving it to the party each day to "build a resistance".
147: When a guard asks "You got something to say?", it's a rhetorical question.
148: A verbal tic is an oddity in an accent, not a bug that flies from my mouth when I speak.
149: If rumours begin about strange occurrences in an abandoned mansion, I do not brush them off as empty gossip.
150: Adventurers traditionally don't take out life insurance policies on each other.
151: I may not begin the game by having the group play a tabletop game with myself as the PH.
120: Even if you're the only healer.
121: At -29 HP is not the "ideal time" to try proselytizing to them.
122: Just because you were left with the element of magic, doesn't mean you're forbidden from being honest, generous, loyal, or kind.
123: I may not reveal my backstory piece by piece until its clear I'm just playing a ponified Joe Pesci.
124: Joe Pesci is not a valid destiny, either.

135: Blowing every per-day ability I have in a skill challenge against another party member is unadvised.
136: Twitchy Tail cannot be used to pry about the PH's personal life.
137: The World Canon and The World Cannon are vastly different things.
138: There is no World Cannon.
139: I cannot be a 50' tall pegasus just because so many powers stipulate "smaller than yourself".
140: Even if we're not playing Paranoia, knowledge of the rulebook is ultra-violet clearance.
141: Timber Wolves cannot get the Blaze On utility.
142: I cannot will all my items to "the new party member who will join the party a day or two after I die".
143: Using magic does not make a character a witch.
144: ...Nor necessitate burning them at the stake.
145: My zebra does not have Tourettes.
146: You can't gain an immunity to Poison Joak, so stop giving it to the party each day to "build a resistance".
147: When a guard asks "You got something to say?", it's a rhetorical question.
148: A verbal tic is an oddity in an accent, not a bug that flies from my mouth when I speak.
149: If rumours begin about strange occurrences in an abandoned mansion, I do not brush them off as empty gossip.
150: Adventurers traditionally don't take out life insurance policies on each other.
151: I may not begin the game by having the group play a tabletop game with myself as the PH.
Re: Things Screwball Can No Longer Do in Pony Tales: AoH
I haven't exactly got many, just two and some subrules, but...
152: I may not seduce Princess Celestia, even on a Cutie Mark Critical Persuasion roll.
=152a: The above extends to Princess Luna as well.
=152b: As it does to the Elements of Harmony.
=152c: And especially to Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.
=152d: Discord'd probably be cool with it though.
153: The above rule is still in effect even if you are a Changeling.
=153a: In fact, the rule is doubly true if you are a Changeling.

154: Freaky Knowledge: Pressure Points does not allow me to automatically knock out enemies before combat can begin. It merely increases my chances.
155: Not allowed to take 10 Seconds Flat, The Sky's the Limit, and Freaky Knowledge: Snowstorms in order to mess with ponies' heads by creating random snowstorms during the summer over random parts of the city that clear up ten seconds later.
156: Not allowed to take Freaky Knowledge: Flight & Advanced Flight in order to get a +10 bonus to flight checks.
157: I am to understand that if I try to pull a "My character was really a changeling all along!" without express prior GM approval, he will be assassinated faster than I can log out of Skype.

Re: Things Screwball Can No Longer Do in Pony Tales: AoH
158: I did not go to school with the primary quest-giving NPC, and even if I did, "because he was kind of a tool" is not a good reason to skip him and move on.
159: From now on, all legal matters will be handled by professionals, no matter how high the Persuasion roll is.
160: When dealing with Explosives, dangerous chemicals, or brutal implements of torture, Stunts is not an acceptable substitute for Mechanics.
161: Despite how nice it might sound, I will not abandon the quest to save the world in favor of settling down and starting a family. Especially with another PC. ESPECIALLY if the other player doesn't know about it at the time.
162: Shining Armor is not an Adulterer.
163: Nether is Mr. Cake.
164: Neither are their respective spouses, nor will they EVER be.
165: Regardless of my personal doubts, it is advisable to consider Celestia a Goddess, and, for the purposes of the game, to treat her as such.
166: I will not try to assist a Party member's Stealth checks by moving a storm cloud over their head to provide aerial cover.
167: Sweet Apple Acres does not grow or manufacture illegal drugs.
168: Even if they did, burning the orchards does not solve anything.
169: I do not have the phone number to the TARDIS.
170: I do not have the phone number for Canterlot Castle.
171: I do not have a phone.
172: I will not take out my aggression on the Mane 6 for something I read in a fanfic once.
173: If Twilight does not have wings, I will not call her a "Traitorous Harlot" and attempt to physically injure her.
174: If she does, I still won't do that.
175: Asking Princess Luna if she likes bananas, no matter how innocent the intent, is still not a good idea.

Re: Things Screwball Can No Longer Do in Pony Tales: AoH
Destiny edition!
176: I will not throw metal pots at guards to fail my stealth checks and activate my "Unheard" Destiny ability.
177: I will not mixed powdered poison joke with the feta cheese when I offer to cook for the rest of the party with my "Instant Party" Talent.
178: I will not use "It always rolled that way" to void my teammates Cutie Mark Criticals.
179: I will not use my "Through the looking glass" talent when meeting the eyes of a friend as he goes off to woo a mare in a tavern.
180: Just because I'm level 10 and can use true sight at will, doesn't mean I have to declare that I use it every 5 seconds.
181: I must be able to transport my magical instrument in some fashion. This voids my choices of
a) lute-shaped corporate buildings
b) abstract art shaped like giant pianos
c) music chain stores
182: The fact that I'm taking the metagamer destiny does not necessitate that I become a nihilist hell-bent on destroying this universe.
183: I cannot use "Make my own Fate" to choose "Call to Adventure" 3 more times expressly to make the Power Gamer cry.

Re: Things Screwball Can No Longer Do in Pony Tales: AoH
184: It is assumed that Make My Own Fate does not translate into "I get 10 more utility talents".
185: Consult the Spirits does not have a prerequisite of killing the DM so you can commune with him.
186: If the list of books used in your build is longer than your backstory, it's vetoed.
187: It doesn't matter if they have the Mechanical trait, you can't select a timber wolf as your phylactery.
188: Another Lich is also not a valid container, even if they're the definition of "non-living".
189: A level 10 "Master of Reality" cannot fill their dimension with lava, and avoid all combats by simply sending people they don't like into it.
190: Nightwisps are a mechanical feature, not tragic NPCs.
191: A sword is not a musical instrument.
192: It's a Long Way To The Top's legal immunity has limits. Even if it says it doesn't.
193: I do not need the inventor destiny to make myself a codpiece.
194: This is because ponies do not wear codpieces, period.
195: "Reasonably intact" is not a negotiable or arguable definition.
196: "Back in one piece" apparently assumes the piece is the original form of the being in question.
197: I may not assume all NPCs are straight-mares setting up jokes for me to finish.
198: Physics doesn't exist. Get over it.
199: It is not "wasteful" to go to sleep still having a magic point. Especially if your element is Laughter.
200: Pegasi don't lay eggs. And even if they did, they wouldn't be part of an old Earth Pony family recipe.

Not if he's played with my group....Speaking of which:
201: Not allowed to use Spike: Take a Letter to try and long-distance-date Luna.
202: Or Celestia.
203: Not allowed to have the whole team take Instant Party and the Rockstar Destiny just to have completely absurd bonuses to our rolls and functionally infinite magic points.
204: ESPECIALLY if we have an Element of Laughter.
205: Not allowed to adopt NPC's as pets. Especially if my method of keeping them is 'keep them eternally drunk.'
206: If I ignore the above, I cannot complain when, after leaving him alone with the party airship, the next leg of the plot is figuring out where he parked it.

207: Although the rules allow me to put Fireborn, Thunderborn, Frostborn, and Acidborn all in the same custom race, the DM still gets the right to veto it.
208: I cannot take the Mind Sculptor destiny if I intend to use it to play out all of my personal shipping fantasies.
209: Taking Freaky Knowledge in "Friendship" and "Magic" does not give me a +10 bonus to both.

213: If I take the Archlich destiny, a Twinkie is a poor choice for a phylactery.
214: While the Crystal Heart is admittedly a better choise for a phylactery, there is no chance in Tartarus that Princess Cadance will let me use it as such.
215: Not allowed to incite a revolution in the Crystal Empire simply so that I may use the Crystal Heart as a phylactery.
216: Emulating King Sombra in any way whatsoever is forbidden.

219: Many Tongues does not grant me any bonuses in the bedroom.

I guess that means you are allowed to do it when said pony is present. The eternal problem of wanting a threesome but not wanting to cheat on your loved one is solved...Grey Pen wrote:233. As a changeling, I must never EVER turn into my friend's special somepony when said pony is not present.
Although maybe we start straying from turning this thread into using the system to make sex jokes...
