[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 4413237, member: 46713"] I can see where you're coming from and you're not alone. Arguing by RAW has become a trend or was at least growing in popularity when 3E came out. Being impressed with the most comprehensive set of rules D&D had ever seen, I joined in the excitement. But I've come to realize that in D&D rules don't exist in a vacuum. There's a DM. That's the decisive difference to MtG. There may be errata, there may be a FAQ, there may be replies from Customer Service or even the developer's themselves but in the end interpreting rules is always the job of the DM. Luckily 4E seems to be trying to reverse the trend and bring the power back where it belongs: to the DM. If you haven't already done so, talk it over with your players and come to an agreement how to rule on the air elementals' abilities. As StreamOfTheSky has pointed out your decision will eventually have consequences for the power of the player characters, as well. [/QUOTE]
