[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 2412265, member: 15582"] Perhaps becuse it's not just the GM. I know some GM's that can't say "no" when a player brings up a rule. Of course nine times out of 10, the player has an agenda when they bring up a rule that could be optional. I also know people who can't say no to any PrCs brought to the table. Some GMs feel better about making adjustments on the fly if they know there isn't a potential rule floating out there to contradict them, especialy if their players are the types to press for rules that favor them. I don't want to cast stones, but isn't the sterotype of hobby focused on passive/agressive personalities. GM: "Uh, yeah. I guess we can go with that rule PC Bob, you've only been ranting about it for an hour. .... Oh look PC Bob, you just missed your 'Spot' check. I guess that means you 'll fall into that trap with poison and take 3d6 Con damage. Would you care to look up a rule on that too?" [/QUOTE]
