Legend
Unfortunately, so many people seem so beholden to the rulebooks... which is why they try so hard to get WotC to change the rules in said rulebooks-- so they can have what they want printed in the format they seem to need.
As I've noted before, most people are not GMs. If its in the rulebook they can expect to get to use it with some reliability; if its dependent on a GM houseruling, that's far less likely.
