[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6736788, member: 6801315"] Absolutely! the sense that DM's can houserule, modify their game to their liking, is not only ok but also fully endorsed by WOTC. I think there's multiple places where this is stated between the PHB, MM and DMG. I've never said otherwise. It's the prerogative of each DM to run the game and make rulings or modify existing game elements to suit the game they are running (I would just add that getting player approval before making these kinds of changes is a very good idea instead of springing them in the middle of a session!). However, when discussing game elements like these on a forum where the rules are being discussed it's important to make sure that the houserules of one DM aren't going to be used as if it were rules text or the RAW/RAI. That's a big problem everywhere. To be clear, I'm not saying and have never said that people can't houserule if they want to. [/QUOTE]
