[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 2499714, member: 5100"] Oy! The longer I play, the more convinced I am that house rules can be the bane of a good game. So long as they are clearly enumerated and spelled out, it's no big deal. And, sometimes, you need to houserule for flavor. But having a situation where there's any real ambiguity is a sure way to gum things up and confuse people. I'm very much wishing that my current game stayed closer to the RAW. And, in the future I'll not be house-ruling unless there is a clear need to change something. If the RAW is able to even get you close to the feel you want, [u]leave it alone[/u]. Just for the record, I prefer all my house rules and variants, but it's rather difficult for me to find the time to make them all available to everyone. If a couple of players grabbed "Unearthed Arcana", that'd [u]really[/u] help, though. Oh, and Spirit Shaman sucks. [/QUOTE]
