[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4972456, member: 14197"] I will take this as a compliment and not sarcasm. Thank you for the deference. I am assuming that you're an experienced DM as well, and therefore much of the hubbub in this thread is about, as you stated, differences in the [I]art[/I] of DMing and not as much in the [I]science[/I]. I agree with you there, and some of the rules aren't terribly clear. I'd like to think that I use the RAW (unless I houserule something) as well as the RAI. As far as I am concerned the RAI is more important to me than RAW, but there are players and DMs that disagree. I guess that's why there are so many different DMing and playing styles. It sure can be tough to start a new group or enter an existing one as a new player/DM, but as long as the intention of having good fun is the goal, then everyone can generally come to understandings about how a particular game rule will be interpreted if it's vague. For what it's worth, I dig your Slaad project and have used major portions of it in my past 3.5 games. (Now.... If you can do this for 4e slaadi, that would be cool too.) [/QUOTE]
