That was a bit excessive.If some dm was going to write that down to me I would likely simply leave the game. Being unable to explain why someone made a change to the raw and having to resort to such tactics is one of the big signs of a bad dm in my experience.A house rule is one thing, especially if it has a reason behind it. But if the dm thinks he is playing by the raw and not then showing the dm, at the appropriate time (which is different for each group it seems), what the actual rule is leads to too many other problems.Anything not houseruled would be raw, if the dm is not specifying the houserule and goes against the raw then it destroys my ability to play the game.As a simple example, lets say that we come to a 30' drop off and I am a 10th level character (some games start this high, or maybe falling damage has never come up before). I decide to jump down and use my jump and tumble skills. The dm then says that neither jump or tumble allow anything like reduction of falling damage and he believes that raw damage for falling 30' is 30d6 and because I was wearing fullplate and carrying my medium load it is maximised so I am now very dead. From a 30' fall, after destroying the raw, and claiming they are playing by the raw.Still though, completely off topic, sorry. I figured the question had already been answered though <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
