[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 2693677, member: 284"] Why Anubis, would this be another personal attack? To help customers with problems with the products. Shoddy book binding, misprinted books, problems with the website, problems with a download you purchased, etc. Any number of things that are related to helping their customer received their products. But in the case of D&D, I've seen nothing from an official source that indicates they are an official source for interpretations on the rules of the game. That's the Sage and the R&D department, and eventually the FAQ and Errata. Edit: hehe, You know, I decided to go see if I find an answer to this question, since you don't seem inclined to. I found an answer in about 2 minutes. Instead of attacking me, you could have tried answering the question. That would have been an intelligent debating tactic. :) Apparently they are supposed to answer rules questions. Too bad they have been wrong so often in the past, as their credibility has been shot, at least on these boards. I still don't accept them as "official" as far as rules interpretations go, but trying to answer questions is indeed part of their job. Maybe they are training their people better now, but I think that I have to see some non-contradictory answers before I'll believe that. No, that would be the WOTC R&D team or Andy Collins in his position as the Sage. And even then, it's not totally official until it makes it into the FAQ or the errata. You know, since that is what those are for. The Sage. Currently, that is Andy Collins. He has been granted the authority to provide the "100% official answers". And even then, he can make mistakes. He's human after all. But it's a long site better than a random Customer Service rep. I'm not sure what this has to do with anything I've said. If I was in the mood to be rude, I could point out several instances you have failed to do this yourself. But I'm not. And that's even more unprovoked personal attacks on your part. That's against the forum rules you know. Or do you think those rules don't apply to you? [/QUOTE]
