[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6994805, member: 4937"] I'm not at all sure the on-line community is representative. "What we own" was probably a reasonably popular variation as well, which might have been defacto "Core only", but could have been endless variety depending on what books and third party books the DM had purchased (for better or worse). But as I was trying to explain, rules variation is far from what determines the game that is being played at the table. And well you shouldn't, because even if they thought they weren't, they probably were. To a certain extent that applies of 3e as well, though I agree the rules were a lot clearer in the 3e era. LOL. I have a 596 page 3e house rules document that I consider woefully incomplete. I don't think DM empowerment or permission to mod the rules is ever anything I worry about. [/QUOTE]
