[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 2674854, member: 32740"] How anyone can get answers to questions about the rules: Step 1 - Go [I]read[/I] the relevant rules; Core Rules books first, followed by supplements where the rule actually appears if not in the Core Rules, then errata, FAQs, SRD, and Sage Advice in any order desired. WotC Customer Service contact is optional. Step 2 - Gather additional opinions as desired. Step 3 - Choose one or make up your own. It does not matter if the response you give to a question is the "official" answer. It does not matter if the official answer actually is contradictory of established rules. It doesn't matter if you simply prefer one interpretation over another. Unless you require a definitive answer for tournament/[I]competitive[/I] play "official" answers are meaningless - "official" is what YOU decide it is for YOUR game. In fact, it's probably easier for tournament purposes to simply reiterate what the rules precedence is [I]for that tournament[/I] since even "official" responses still get debated as "incorrect" and are sometimes even contradictory.
