    Rules as Law vs. Rules as Guidelines

    The point of the thread was whether you are in support of rules as law or guidelines. I purport that the spell was intended to mend "small breaks" as regarded as small and defined by the dictionary definition of "a break (n.)", just google it up and see, understand the words you use. The...

    Rules as Law vs. Rules as Guidelines

    I don't agree that the spell mending makes reference to repair any object regardless of hp's, that's a player reading into it. I do agree that the quotes were from pathfinder, I did mention that, and that it was the only online publication that went into such detail as to define what "broken"...

    Rules as Law vs. Rules as Guidelines

    It depends on the rule in question. Is there a viable reason to change the rule, or is it merely because the status quo doesn't suit your needs? Allow me to provide two examples I've recently encountered: One of my friends was claiming that his animated "dancing" tower shield should provide...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5e rule, Invisivility and Total Concealment

    What if you're inside a Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum. Is that considered concealment or total concealment? ie. Is the "dark foggy mass" outsiders see the equivalent of "a cloud of smoke", eligible for a 20% miss chance, or is it akin to total darkness for a 50% miss chance?
