Advice for the Evil Overlord:

If I come into possession of an artifact which can only be used by the pure of heart, I will not attempt to use it regardless.

Advice for the Starship Captain:

I will design my ships so that command and control functions cannot be hot-wired from a wall panel in the recreation bay.

Advice for the Bad Auxiliary Character (Evil Cult Member):

Avoid all cabalistic jewelry over ten pounds in weight--it attracts unwelcome attention from tourists, policemen, and supernatural creatures, and it can be downright dangerous during thunderstorms. Its jingling also tends to warn the hero of your approach.

Advice for the Good Auxiliary Character (Innocent Bystander):

If you're riding on public transport and the Magnificent Seven board your train or bus, get out immediately and wait for the next one. Especially if they're in their street clothes.

Further Evil (Advice on Ultimate Weapons/Spells):

Any Ultimate Weapon that was disassembled in the distant past and its components scattered to nearly inaccessible niches across the globe could not have been that great in the first place, or else it would never have been disassembled.

Murphy's Laws of Combat:

• Every man has a scheme that will not work.
• The most delicate component will be dropped.
• In crises that force people to choose among alternative courses of action, most people will choose the worst one possible.
• Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
• Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
