Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad_Jack" data-source="post: 6995892" data-attributes="member: 6750306">It varies wildly from game to game... I go as far or do as little as required for a particular game or circumstance.I generally view the game rules and all the various things in the game as a starting point from which to add, trim or change if and as necessary.I generally use the rules as written - I'm more likely to ignore some of the minor things (arrows, rations, juggling action economy) than to add new rules or rewrite whole sections of them.I rarely ever ban spells, items or classes from official products or UA articles.I don't generally use third-party classes unless it's absolutely impossible to model a character concept with the existing ones, but have no problem tweaking the existing ones (sometimes severely) to better fit individual tastes. (And I will unrepentantly drag the multiclassing rules into a dark alley and do unnatural things to them in order to make a character concept work the way a player wants it to...)As far as campaign worlds, or new items, spells, monsters, etc., I freely steal or borrow from anywhere and everywhere and am constantly coming up with new stuff that I may or may not ever use. As far as I'm concerned, "Canon" is a misspelling of the big metal thing I use to blow established settings and other game elements into little pieces I can build other things out of.For the most part, though, across the various editions, I've generally found that I didn't need to change very much that was already in the game unless I was intending to do something wildly different on a grand scale.</blockquote>
