[QUOTE="Arrowhawk, post: 5652069, member: 6679551"] And is there somwhere in the RAW that says you have to play with the Spell Compendium? As stated, consider the DM creates the entire fictional world, I see no deviation from RAW to tell a player, "you are not able to find any information on how to cast X spell." i Speaking of which, what do the rule say about leveling up? Does it happen instantenously along the learning of new feats or do characters have to train? I've found conflicting information on the topic. Except were' not eliminating the feat and the rules don't expicitly say that a fighter has to do "research" to learn a feat. And I seriously disagree that it would be houseruling to say a character who lives in the desert and who has never seen a body of water larger than a mudhole isn't going to be able to take ranks in Swim or take the Swim feat. Essentially you're mixing apples and oranges. Research and training are completely different. Researching requries that information exists. Training implies you already know how to do the activity, you're just not good at it. Never said it was, just that you're using it inaccruately. You have to show a explicit rule that is being deviated from for it to be a house rule. Deciding on the availability of certain items or things based on campaign setting is not a deviation of the rules and is in fact, encouraged by them. [/QUOTE]
