[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 5209451, member: 48520"] Recently I sa a thread where someone commented on the PFS rules, and objected strongly to having players be able to do something that they are 'allowed' to do in PFS. Now this isn't to re-dredge up the specific issue, but more-so to get thoughts on this: Pathfinder Society games are not your home game, they often take place at conventions, with other people you do not necessarily normally play with. You don't get to approve/disapprove all the characters creation, because, odds are, they already exist. I could be wrong about whether or not your home game can be an official PFS game. I'm a bit fuzzy on how you get PFS games approved, I just know you can pick up your character from one game and move it to another, and that you can only run PFS modules. If you disagree with an official ruling and refuse to abide by it, that is, in essence, a house rule. (This is fine, I have heaps of different rulings, alternate mechanics, and character creation processes I use in my home game). House Rules do not work at conventions though, especially in convention games with characters from games you didn't run. If you can't deal with or otherwise refuse to run games using just the official rules & rulings, I would imagine you would avoid running a 'living golarion' type game, and just run your home games, where you can just make whatever ruling you want. If you won't allow evil characters, or won't allow players to have, use, or do x thing from a book, don't run games that allow it? Maybe I've got a bad stance on this, I dunno. thoughts, comments?
