[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9288049, member: 7006"] Invariably this always ends up being the issue for me when I start throwing in house rules into my game in efforts to "clean things up" or make things "feel better" for myself as far as the rules are concerned. I try to make them work as best I can... but none of my players even come close to having the same issues I might have for janky rules, so they don't tend to remember the house rules and I have to make sure to remember to throw them in when they are meant to apply. And more often than not... after a certain amount of time I just stop bothering with the house rules and just get past any issues I might have had because it just becomes too much of a PITA to deal with or worry about. The whole "Cure is worse than the disease" idea coming into play. And while I could believe that "if only WotC would change/fix their rules!" I would have less of these little niggling issues in the system... I also know WotC isn't going to change things just for me, so again I just force myself to "get over it". The game isn't perfect, my players don't feel my attempts at making it perfect really do much, and at the end of the day I'd rather just play the game more easily than supposedly "better". And this is why I don't tend to complain about the game-- I just work through any of my issues during play as I attempt using house rules that just never stick. :) [/QUOTE]
