Does 3/3.5E cause more "rule arguments" than earlier editions?

[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 3091818, member: 12037"] And there's Improved Natural Attack, lances getting 1.5 Str in one hand, etc etc etc. But, really, these are rarities that could go either way. Get your ruling and move on, remember it from then on, and be consistant. Those might come up once every other session at best. Sure, there are lots of debates on the Rule forum but not in my own game. We haven't had a debate in our group in about 6 months, and it was whether [i]flame strike[/i] did lethal damage to trolls. Looking up the spell, we quickly discovered that half the damage is lethan and half is non-lethal. It's not like groups are having hot arguments over how grappling works are they? Sure, I know lots of people don't have them memorized and might have to look it up, but that's quite different than trying to argue that you don't suffer an AoO during a grapple attempt! Surely no one is arguing that during a session? I would be horrified! If you want a House Rule, bring it up with the DM outside of the game, talk about it all you want. But, to argue on round 2 that you want to roll initiative again? I don't want to believe that anyone would do that. [/QUOTE]
