[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1289699, member: 1656"] Heh. I think the last time I posted a Custserv response, it was a ten-email conversation. I was in a debate on the WotC Magic Items board (well, by 'debate', it had come down to a page of "Is not!" "Is too!" after the first few pages :) ). The other guy had said he'd accept an 'official' response, so despite my personal feelings about the quality of Custserv's responses, I sent off an email. Someone replied; I sent back a "That's fine, but what about page X1?" email. He came back with a slightly revised response, so I sent back another "Okay, but how about this from page X2?" After a few of those, he said "Look, I can see what you're saying... I'm here alone today, but how about I talk to some of the line developers and RPGA guys tomorrow and get back to you with a definitive answer?" "Cool," I said, "and can you make sure you check this point with them as well?" A couple of days later he sent back the final verdict... which was identical to what I'd originally suggested :D It's telling, I think, that the answer after the Custserv guy consulted with people who know the rules was the opposite of his original response... -Hyp.
