"Dump stat" does not refer to the location where I hide the bodies, therefore I should not try to raise it during character generation.

I can't have my wizard build an enchanted crossbow that fires rocket propelled heat-seeking chainsaws.

I will not kidnap children from foreign countries, hire the best teachers and instructors in the region, then establish a secret school that combines Ender's Game with The Hunger Games in order to create a race of evil villains.

Nope, because once you enchant it for electric damage in becomes a small appliance.

I can not buy stock in a company, then launch raid on them to decrase the value of shares, in an attempt to stage a hostile takeover.

Let them come and arrest me.  I'd have my ASFs shoot down their dropship while it's on re-entry.  Shoulda updated their IFF transmitters...   }:)

Besides, they were just legally contracted objective raids...   >:D

Of course not.  The correct action there is to launch raids on their facility, then arrange for a hostile takeover via a shell corporation.

I'm not allowed to set up a mercenary company just to use as a front for a money laundering operation.

of course not! Vorpal requires the weapon to have an edge. Pillows are bludgeoning weapons, so must have the
Disruption enchantment, which, of course, is only useful against undead...
