Rule 0 is also called, here in Brazil, the Golden Rule, the only one that can be considered to ALWAYS apply. Official Magazine StampBearing the official stamp is not the it must be observed, the magazine is an approved source of information that is authorized to bear the D&D logo, all other publishers are not authorized to bear the D&D logo, but they still have the d20 logo, it shows compatibility. There are cases where the official is under or over stated, but that is also true for WotC stuuf or 3rd parties, whatever official means is aproved, and official in a game is what was approved by the only rule that is always used: RUle 0. ConclusionWhatever was approved by the DM (by use of rule 0) is official, no matter if it bears D&D or d20 logo, it can be over or under-powered in just the same way. WotC is business, they want money and so they also want the "Official is good, no official is bad" policy. </blockquote>
