[QUOTE="Jay Verkuilen, post: 7758441, member: 6873517"] Agree with those. Ah, that's totally not how I play. I often tinker with rules because I want to achieve something, and partly because I find tinkering fun for its own sake. I try very hard not to be arbitrary or capricious about it, but frequently the RAW don't get what I want and thus I change them.
