[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 4283336, member: 48520"] I voted other, cause my option wasn't there. I use the rules, until they pose a problem of "Grey Area". at which point, I houserule the problem away, and keep the houserule for future reference. On the spot, I let them get away with the exploit the first time if I dont know how I'll houserule it, but I tell them I'll be fixing the rule. While fixing the rule I look for other things that need fixing. I can often come up with pretty big lists of things to fix. My house rules for 3.5 are about 40 pages, and that's all mechanics. (its not counting any custom monsters, templates, races, classes, feats, or spells.) Some of it is new mechanics for things not covered in the book, and some of it is stuff I "fixed". Some of the house rules come from other people, as is or modified before I use it. So the short answer is, if I see that the book is broken somewhere, I fix it. I don't consider myself any less qualified to design than the writers at wizards, I just don't have the playtesters they do. :P [/QUOTE]
