1: “Yeah so I can make holy water by casting bless water on a flask’s amount of water, so me and my leadership feat, with the max score for followers, 3 Rings of the Ecclesiarch (one on a Hand of Glory), a Suzerain Scepter, and all of the followers being Clerics, are going to mass spam Bless Water on the 70% of the party’s bodies that are water, thus damaging the enemies every time they cut us in combat.”

2. Trying to perform massive cheese without checking it's sound, such as ignoring how few things Holy water actually damages or that you still get pitiful splash damage.

3. Dismissing an idea mostly due to its complexity or number of sources required. Remember, the more sources it takes, the more ammo the player has.

[PixelsAreGod]

4. Using Sacred Geometry

[Fuzzy-Wuzzy]

5. Boasting of how book-proof your head is.

16. "I've figured out how to create Pun-Pun in Pathfinder! Its a 53 step process so listen up. First you..."'

17. Play a Kobold grappler with the Draconic Breath feat and the Noxious Bite feat.
Its a standard action to escape a grapple but a nauseated creature can only take a move action.
18. Take the Animal Fury Rage Power and the Hamatula Strike feat and get an infinite loop going. See how many times you can pull it off before he starts chucking things at you ;)
19. Hey guys im building a grappler...

21. Play a Gnome Illusionist whos main goal in life is to break immersion by messing with absolutely everything he possibly can, and get away with it...

23. Using SoP, play an Incanter/Whitesmith multiclass with the Animate Objects talent, Enchanted Animation feat and EWP: Shuriken. Gain unlimited free-action casting!!!
You can spend 2pp to animate a Shuriken and infuse it with a power, it then lasts indefinitely. Rest, repeat. Keep storing them until you have inexhaustable supply of casting. Shuriken are ammunition so you can draw them as a free action and they are easy to store. Or simply animate the Shuriken with mobility and have them activate themselves to utterly destroy action economy.
24. High level Druid/Wizard. "Hey guys! I figured out how to share Wild Shapes and Polymorph spells with the party! Ok, so every encounter everyones stats, sizes, abilities and attacks are going to change. Every. Encounter.

Literally only one point of splash damage against only evil outsiders and undead, and only when you bleed, is considered absurd powergaming to you? Good god, I’d hate to see the temper tantrum you’d throw when a player gets over 1000 damage in a single hit with Mythic Vital Strike.

[alientude]

It's not that the scheme itself is powergaming, it's that the whole method feels like it. If you don't like the word, simply replace it with cheese.

[lemeres]

Find a way to make a Deadly Returns Throwing Axe into a book. Then miss your target.

35: For the game of intrigue where the GM has created a deep sandbox political game focused on shades of grey, with deep moral, ethical and religious tones, insist on playing a lawful stupid paladin.

36: For the game of horror where the GM has carefully worked to cultivate the feeling of dread through atmosphere, tone of voice and other narrative tricks. Insist on playing a Jar-Jar Binks inspired character. If asked why, say if it worked for Star Wars, it can work for their game, after all, in a movie with the equivalent of a paladin falling by killing an entire kindergarten full of children, their was ... Jar-Jar, and everyone loves JAR-JAR!!!

[Steelfiredragon]

37: create a massively powerful ranger that is a chosen of serenrae and her name is MAry Sue

38: create a paladin of iomedae that tells you that she is a traveling swordswoman and other PCs and their players believe she is a fighter and watch sparks when she starts making saving throws that a fighter should not be able to make.( course this gets better if you can get the gm to get in cahoots with one on it at lets you make 2 character sheets......)

what ?I never said she was a fighter only a traveling swordswoman...
