Any replies should at least make an effort to reference dnd mechanics, and not be based off any houserules unless the question explicitly calls out for such provisions (eg: I don't like the way item creation is handed in 3e. Does anyone have a homebrew version they can share?). Conversely, if I were to ask a question on how a particular aspect of item creation was to be handled in 3e, the last thing I would want is how you executed an item creation variant in your own game. I really couldn't care less if someone had ruled that crafting a particular item took only a fraction of the time it was supposed to take, as I don't see what impact that could have in my game, especially since I am likely not implementing said houserule. One concession I would make is if it accompanies the reply along the line of "According to the rules, you would have to do XXX, but I think that it is problematic because of so-and-so reason, so I would recommend that you implement this-and-that, or at least keep my suggestion in mind". Can anyone explain to me the significance of said rule for Enworld? Or am I misinterpreting its context? If it indeed is a houserule, why can't/shouldn't I call a spade a spade? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /></blockquote>
