[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8590962, member: 6877472"] I could debate "not needed" when I look at discussions like this. Sure, each group is able to hash out how things work when unusual circumstances come up. But on a forum, it becomes really hard to discuss things when the rules basically say "I'm sure you can figure it out", and we're all basically playing different games from each other not because we have deviated from RAW, but because there wasn't much RAW to begin with. I want to preface this next statement by saying I am extremely happy that you haven't had issues Mr. Lich (and respectfully, I would never wish to annoy a Lich), but I have had [B]so many [/B]debates about rules over the years I've been gaming that it really, really, chafes me when someone says "well I've never had any problems at all!". It's like a car that has a slight defect that in 1 out of a billion times you go to make a right turn, the airbag deploys. "Well, that never happened to me, so I don't see what the complaint is!"* *I'm not saying that you are saying that. I am not ascribing any malice or dismissal to anyone's posts in particular. That's just how it feels to me sometimes. Whether this is a real problem or something my mind has conjured up to make me grumpier about the world is best left to professionals who I can't possibly afford to consult. [/QUOTE]
