[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4419343, member: 114"] This is the correct purpose of the Rules forum. The intention is for people to discuss ways of interpreting the rules. I personally find almost no value in considering what the "Rules as Written" might or might not say in a particular issue when people get down to attempting to parse the rules sentences to determine exactly what should or should not happen. Some people obviously enjoy this, but it is not (and should not be) the default "setting" for the Rules forum. The default is for people to talk about how they want to/plan to/would like to/ play the game, and to discuss different ways of interpreting rules. House Rules is for whole new rules subsystems, new classes, major things like that. We've periodically had problems with some people who think that "the Rules forum is about RAW and everything else is a houserule", and we've had to clamp down on that in the past. If there is a situation where, say, a thread [B]you've started[/B] has become dominated by a couple of people who get caught up in a RAW-mageddon discussion, please report the thread and we'll split those peoples discussion off into a separate place. In other peoples it may be that you'll just have to ignore those people for now. Cheers [/QUOTE]
