Pathfinder 1E I just found a new stupid rule!

[Cadence]

Back to the original post...

As I've mentioned before, we have a "game within the game" we play at my table, called "The stupidest rule I've ever heard of." I have a new contender.

In Pathfinder, when creating magic items, you can skip a prerequisite for the creation by accepting a 5 point penalty on the Spellcraft check (or whatever Skill check is called for.)

I can see this not making a huge difference in some games.... but it seems huge for doing an E6 of Pathfinder (refining a proposed re-write of it right now for that setting).

Now I'm wondering if I should start poring through some "little known rules threads" to find out what other things I've missed!
