[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2570475, member: 12037"] First: Holding the RAW as immutable is different than holding the designers as immutable. Second: People arn't saying the RAW is perfect and shouldn't be changed. People are saying it should only be changed outside of a gaming session, not while the session is going on. Decisions made in game are likely to be determined more by emotional feelings toward that particular encounter instead of as an objective look as the rules as they apply to the overall campaign. In my experience, of course. Oh, I know. You just happened to bring up one of my pet peeves. To the contrary, I play Risk 2210 with House Rules when I play with my group of friends. It all depends on the game. I think we all have preconceved notions of how things will play out in game before they actually happen, both the DM and the Players. Sometimes we overlook a rule and don't notice that it will adversely affect our plans. Both players and DMs need to be able to look at this objectively and just accept when this happens. [/QUOTE]
