Message: <blockquote data-quote="Agback" data-source="post: 2644043" data-attributes="member: 5328">That is not my original question. That is indeed the title I gave this thread as an indication of its content. But the question I actually asked was in the original post, and is more specific than that. Check the original post if you have to. My original question was "Is this supported by the rules as written?". I also asked "Is there anything in the rules that I am missing?"No, my mind is not made up. But since my question is "Is there a rule that says 'X'?", of course I require a specific wording to make up my mind.Suppose I had asked "Is there a sentece in the core rules that does not contain the letter 'e', and if so what is it?" That would be a rather boring question, and you would be perfectly reasonable to ignore it. However, you would not be able to answer it in the affirmative without reference to a specific sentence in the rules.This is the D&D Rules forum, and I asked a question that amounts to "Is there a rule that says paladins are chosen, empowered, and judged by their gods?" You might not be interested in that question. But whether or not you are, an answer that amounts to "The rules allow the possibility that they might be." is not responsive.Good, that is exactly what I thought from the beginning. I was (and still am) trying to find out if there is any section of the rules written in such a way as to take that freedom away from the DM (or the setting designer), or at least so as to require a use of Rule Zero to restore that freedom.And the question still stands. Is there any rule anywhere in the core that must be interpreted in one of those ways rather than the other, as there is for the clerics of particular gods?I don't quite agree with this definition. As I understand the term, it is also a house rule if some rule is added to cover something that is not covered by a rule-as-written.</blockquote>
