[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6545682, member: 9789"] Your point is fair, but I would be surprised if the number of people who didn't make some kind of house rule or even just a tiny modification to the game didn't approach 100%. That was sort of the whole point to 5.0 development, as I saw it; they said, "we know you're going to mod the game - you pretty much all do - so let's put together a great core and let you mod away as you see fit; we'll even give you a 'starting mod suggestions' chapter in the DMG." I think when you're talking about a game as personal and as intimate as D&D, the base assumption being "mod as you see fit" is an ok one, because that's the point of D&D: it's something special and unique to all of us. So yeah, while I agree that simply saying "if you don't like it go change it" sounds flippant and dismissive, it honestly is the right answer. The game is made to be molded to your image of what it should be. That's a feature, not a bug. :) [/QUOTE]
