[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3825440, member: 5143"] Because the rules imply story. And they will be different implications than 3rd Ed, 2nd Ed, or 1st Ed. In the same way that using the rules in the 3rd Ed book it is impossible to make a low magic world (you'd have to ignore the sections on wealth guidelines, the items you are able to purchase based on the size of a settlement, and the magic item creation rules, in addition to the rules on some of the classes), it might be that the assumptions that come out of the 4th Ed rules might mean that you'd have to change a bunch of them to let you create a world like FR(Eladrin? What are those? Why do they suddenly have a kingdom in the world? Why can't wizards just cast spells with their hands and material components the same as they always could? Why is it most of the magic items that used to exist don't anymore? etc, etc.). And since they want FR to be their big world for 4th Ed, it has to agree completely with the PHB, DMG, and MM. It is a "default setting" without being the default setting. [/QUOTE]
