[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5178448, member: 61155"] Sure, but you did basically tell someone, who was trying to actively discuss what the core rules themselves said, that they had no place in this discussion: "Sounds like it's time for you to move on, then." That was largely the reason I responded - it seemed like an active statement for someone to basically 'get out', because they didn't agree with DracoSuave's declaration that the only correct answer is "whatever the DM feels like at the time." Which, yeah, pretty much came across as saying 'the rules don't matter'. I'm all for seeing how other DMs are handling the situation, and looking at far more than just the rules themselves for how to resolve situations like But I also think there were elements in the rules that were still worth looking at, and the response to just ignore them, and that the written rules were meaningless beside a DM's judgement call, was of little use to the actual discussion at hand. Is this the place to ask for an official rules amendment? Well.. no, I'd imagine that would be the WotC forums or via e-mail. But it is the place to ask for what the rules might actively say about an issue, and I don't think there is anything wrong with doing just that. [/QUOTE]
