[QUOTE="bret, post: 489434, member: 713"] I would e-mail the GM giving lists of the most broken rules (of the ones you listed I would include BAB vs. Attack Bonus, Spontaneous Casting, Caster Level, and skill ranks to qualify for PrC) that the group has been using. You want to be diplomatic in the letter, and do it outside the session. I would say something to the effect of 'We are apparently using some house rules in several areas, and I want to make sure that I understand them correctly.' This type of phrasing can work miracles when it comes to making people listen. It is really surprising how many people like to explain where someone is wrong. The thing is to be tactful, be willing to 'accept it as a misunderstanding' when you've got something wrong, and be ready to pull out the rules references when they question you on it. I would not send the rules references in the initial e-mail, I would just have them ready for if the GM wants them. Last of all, if the GM reads you letter and doesn't care, go with the flow. Throw away your PHB and go with it. The group will only change if the GM wants it to. [/QUOTE]
