[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7920357, member: 16814"] It may be useful to some to know that the "Golden Rule" is also called "Rule Zero." Simply put, it says that if the players (usually the GM) do not like a rule, change it. I disagree with [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] that the Golden Rule is the most famous statement giving permission to use Force. I say this because a Rule Zero application can be discussed at the table, consensus on the rule change found, and the rule then be formally changed as a house rule. This is not an application of Force. On the other hand, if the rule is used during play, and without consensus seeking, or without annunciation, especially to cause an outcome the GM prefers, then it is Force. In short, Rule Zero (or the Golden Rule) can be use in a non-Force way and in a Forceful way. I will leave alone the design argument about even having it, as I don't think that's a productive argument for this thread. [/QUOTE]
