[QUOTE="cougent, post: 3866806, member: 48665"] I am going to echo others in that when I read the email snippet, it got a bit colder in the room. Otherwise I think you are right on target. I always tell my players that any rule, all rules are subject to review and modification at any given point in time *out of game*. I had a similar experience with what you are having, only mine was with Psionics. I had an original player who was a psion and then later a new player joined and wanted to play one also. With the original player I had told him to read the psionics handbook (his book) and explain things to me (as I did not have the book, or the time to read his). We only looked things up together if what he told me was RAW seemed out of synch. a year goes by and the new player joins, also with his own copy of the Psioncs Handbook. I took the time to read some of it and immediately started noticing discrepencies. I asked the new player how he read certain things and found that he was usually seeing the same thing I was. I took the original player aside and without accusing him of cheating just said, "We have been doing some things wrong, but we are now going to do them right, and so will the new player. What is past is past, and water under the bridge, but from now on we go by the rules in the book." He agreed with no problem and we went forward from there. [/QUOTE]
