[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7836724, member: 4937"] What we're talking about is what the OP brought up: "But as a RPG, as opposed to a computer game, players are expected to do all sorts of creative things which are not specifically covered by a rule." As such, yes we are by definition beyond rules interpretation and adjudication. We are talking about how to handle things which "are not specifically covered by a rule". When something is not covered by a rule at all, then it is covered by genre expectations, game-world physics, game-world metaphysics and the like. We are inherently beyond the bounds of the rules by definition, so what else could it be covered by? I don't know what sort of D&D you play, but I'm telling you what sort of D&D I play. This is inherently a thread about how you go about making rulings. In that sense, there is nothing but different DM's opinions as to what makes for a good game when extending the rules into areas not covered by the RAW. [/QUOTE]
