NEVER!!!", then write down a "correction" that "fixes" the problem for them... but then once the game starts the situation never actually comes up.  And all the hullaballoo the DM went through was unnecessary.I mean really... how many DMs out there have spent long amounts of time coming up with better 20th level capstone abilities for all 12 classes because they think the ones WotC made all stunk... only to have less than half of those classes actually ever get selected by their players... and game itself never actually come close to reaching 20th level in the first place?A house rule is merely a "Ruling" that you tried to jump the gun on.  And if you'd never utter the phrase "I'm only going to make less than 12 rulings at the table during this entire campaign..." there's absolutely no reason to make the same statement about house rules.</blockquote>
