[QUOTE="Thresher, post: 1183902, member: 9983"] I think its been known to do it on a number of occassions, also like Ive been also on occassion to call it a 'steaming pile of excrement', 'work of 1000 bastard maniacs' and when something really neat, (like epic spellcasting) gets borked beyond belief, 'more greif than a teenage NIN fan'. But there is no real set proceedure to interpreting these types of rules, sure you can read the first lot of rules laid down and take it for what it is, then you can go read what some other hand has penned as an addendum and take that with a pinch of salt. Because folks its friggen obvious that one hand isnt looking at the other hand, while the first hand was typing one handed and thinking of naked elf chicks or something and the editorial department consists of 5 monkeys and a typewriter. But ya get that, theyre only human... So we do what every other gamer who's dedicated to playing without too much greif, tears, lamentations, hair pulling and tantrums. You "House rule it", now I know a lot of you dont like thinking outside the square orc and trying to put him in the round hole, I just dont like thinking if I can help it because I do that for a living and this sounds too much like work, 'cept theres no flashing lights... Anyone got any ideas to make monster/races creation and advancement similar to making up a PC to help this fella out? (That dosnt involve a bitch fest over who wrote what, because its bloody obvious that the writer(s) dont know either.) [/QUOTE]
