[QUOTE="jlhorner1974, post: 583792, member: 8628"] Yes. Designers and editors are human and cannot possibly identify and clarify every possible scenario where there is a contradiction or ambiguity in the rules as written. Their task in providing a clear, authoratative, unambiguous ruleset for 3E D&D is so monumental, its virtually superhuman. I really take my hats off to the designers for giving it their best shot. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people like to complain about the shortcomings rather than give credit where it is due. I have high hopes for the revised core rulebooks. Hopefully they have been trolling these boards and making notes about all of the most common rule questions and do their best to clarify them. It's a shame that there is not an official D&D/d20 Modern/Star Wars Rules Team that exists only to clarify rulings and maintain updated errata like Oracle is for Magic: the Gathering. If anybody is listening at WotC, I'd be glad to participate, as long as I could fit it around my day job. :D [/QUOTE]
