[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2424875, member: 707"] Re-reading your previous post, I apologize as well. On my first read, you seemed to be intimating that I foolishly interpret the rules only in a literal sense. Re-reading your post, and reading your next one, I now see that I overreacted after a misinterpretation. Sorry I was so quick to get snippy in response.I agree. But you have to start with what's written. Only after you've established what the rules [i]say[/i] can the discussion move on to what the designers might have [i]meant[/i] to say, and further, to what they [i]should have said.[/i] ;)I agree.True, but to be honest I've never seen that position defended here on ENWorld. Every DM here (that I am aware of) supports the principle of interpretation. We just all happen to support different interpretations. :pI love it when Hyp responds to a rules posting, because in a single stroke he often shows me what the literal baseline rule is, as well as the ways in which a powergamer might use that rule to break my game. From there, it's a simple matter to decide whether I am using or will need a House Rule. In any case....druids....I think they're fine. :p [/QUOTE]
