[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 6761492, member: 6790260"] Alright, let's take an example then, eh? Specifically, mine: Grapple and Prone. Grappling is covered in the "Actions in Combat" section, which is the wisest place to put it since that's where it occurs. It specifies all rules regarding [I]how[/I] to Grapple, and makes reference to Appendix A for the associated condition, "Grappled" (as all conditions are so referenced, if they are referenced at all). "Prone" is covered a couple of pages earlier under the heading "Being Prone," with a direct reference made to Appendix A as well. It would be implausible to explain conditions [I]everywhere[/I] that they appear, or even [I]most[/I] of the places they appear, so it is generally pretty wise to keep the appendix and use references whenever conditions come up. Thus, it would seem to meet all of your conditions for [I]not[/I] being a "hidden" rule: it doesn't suffer from a typo or inaccuracy; it is fairly well-organized; and it is fully explained in a single text, without need for severe cross-referencing or the like. So...does this count as a "hidden" rule under [I]your[/I] definition? It certainly counts as one for Lowkey and for me. If it doesn't count as one for you, then it would seem the issue is that you don't like using the word "hidden" for describing all of the things Lowkey wanted to talk about. (Some of them, certainly, but I would argue that they're the minority, though of course that is a matter of debate and interpretation.) [/QUOTE]
