97. Don't steal from a fellow party member. Especially the cranky ones.
98. If your DM is "that guy" (or gal), and you're offered a wish, stick to the spells basic suggestions or even don't wish at all.

98a. Do not cast wish at all. It's a trap option that no sane GM would allow. If a GM does allow a Wish spell, you're just asking for the GM to play the "Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies" card.
98b. If it's an evil creature pressuring you to make a wish now, it's suspect. Otherwise, don't wait till the wish is offered to make a decision.

92. Don't whine if dire consequences result from your actions.
A: Cannibals rise as ghouls.
B: Blood Drinkers rise as vampires.
C: Atheists reincarnate as Lamias.
D: The most useless character gets possessed or contracts Lycanthropy.
Cool! Now I want to play an useless atheist cannibal blood drinker just to see what happens!
So, barely trained - you have a few sp to spare. Increase you training, and you might have a few gp to spare. So you won't starve, but you will still be incredibly poor. As long as your GM is okay with you taking 10 (I know some who are very much against that...).Eh? 1 rank, 10 Wis, class skill gives you +4. Taking 10 gives you 7 gold pieces per week.
A Common Meal and a mug of ale costs you 1/2 a gp per night (so in 7 days you spend 3 gp, 5 sp). You can stay at a s@#*ty inn for 2 sp per night (so 1 gp, 4 sp per week).
So for room and board you're spending 4 gp, 9 sp per week leaving you with 2 gp, 1 sp per week to spare. Maybe you buy a new set of clothes so you can have an outfit to wear every day (1 sp per outfit, so 7 sp). Maybe you just decide to buy a second meal every day (buy a Poor Meal for breakfast or lunch, at only 1 sp a pop, so 7 more sp). So you're eating twice a day and clothed...and STILL have 7 sp to spare for other necessities or frivolities, just in the first week. You could use that to up your food intake to three squares a day (7 sp), or buy toiletries and luxuries like soap (1 cp), a lamp (1 sp) and the oil to burn it for 6 hours (1 sp) and various other things.
That's as a barely trained first level laborer who has no particular natural aptitude for any trade (low Wis).
Most low level jobs of that period included room and board.
and if you dont take ten, you will still be Ok.

if you don't take 10, in the long term you'd be better as avg is 10.5 - you'd just have to save some for the cases where you get bad rolls

In other words, don't forget to torch things you can't identify.

119: Do not make a character based off of Jack Sparrow when playing Skulls and Shackles, the real captain will Keel Haul you.
120: Do not make a character inspired by Deadpool when playing Path of the Righteous, Iomedae will smith you.
5. Pick cards from random decks.
unless your a Fortunate, wizard 5 \ Harrower 10 who crafted his own Silent Aviary (or stole\found one) and has planeshfit ready just in case.
then again the GM DID make me retire him after a week of this daily card(s) draw so...
as for the list :
121: never forget to search EVERY door you come to for traps.
'for one does not simply walk into more-doors'.
122: do not feed the cute fuzzy pet of the jade emporer after midnight.

123: Do not make a Dhamphir inspired by Blade, just don't
124: Do not try to seduce the vampire so that you can father a Dhamphir/Blade character. This is not Twilight, Vampires do not sleep with their food.
125: Do not try to seduce the dragon so that you can be the mythic father of "The Dragon Born"
126: In fact, just stay away from sleeping with anything from the Bestiary.
126b: Unless you are a bard of course, at which case it is your sacred duty to father as many half breed children as possible.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. -points to p.111 of B6-
138. Don't be evil.
Seriously, you're only going to have a bad afterlife. You're not going to be the one-in-a-billion who gets to become a fiend. Even then, you're not going to be the one-in-a-billion who gets to become a demigod. And even if you are, the celestials aren't going to invite you to their parties.
139. Stay away from Korvosa! It's infested with every level of supervillain and mundane stupidity imaginable. On a related note...
140. Don't build a castle on top of obviously evil ruins.
141. Don't turn the native burial grounds into sewers.
142. Don't let that golddigging b!*$$ have the key to the treasury.
