[QUOTE="kitcik, post: 5651996, member: 98256"] Under RAW, every sourcebook is created equally. There is no preference to core over WOTC splats. Therefore, "choice" under RAW implies a choice from everything available, unless RAW says otherwise (like a spell that says "this spell's only available to halfllings who were born in the ding dong region" or whatever). Absolutely, that is a house rule. RAW does not specify the type of research that must be done. Maybe the wiz can figure out the spells on their own as they experiment? In any case, the bottom line is that restrictions based on a non-RAW campaign setting are, by definition, house rules. For some reason, you seem to take offense at "house rules." I am not sure why. House rules are the backbone of D&D and no campaign can be run without them. See above. Well, yes, RAW does state that the DM can make any ruling. I guess under this interpretation, ANY house rule is actually RAW. However, that kind of kills the basis for discussion. [/QUOTE]
