[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6329752, member: 6698278"] I think such comments reveal a lack of having contemplated the subject very much. I always study the rules and I look for consequences for those rules. I try to imagine a world where these rules are the norm. I extrapolate out and see what happens as I see the consequence build up. When I see an outcome that turns the world in a bad direction, I houserule it. For example in past editions, I changed continual light to be 24 hour light. That way the world doesn't develop street lamps using continual light "bulbs". I don't want Eberron which is what probably happens with lots of unlimited magic. People always say dragons and elves, versimilitude is busted by those things so why bother. I do not agree. I've seen many fantasy movies and let me say that while many of them have dragons and elves, I find some to be very believable (from a suspension of disbelief perspective of course) and some are just stupid. The company that figures out how to make moves I can get into are the companies that get my money at the theatre. Anyway. I know it was an offhand comment. This has just become a pet peeve of mine. I'm not picking on you personally. [/QUOTE]
