If its important then we'll discuss for a few minutes, and make a decision the group can live with. We're not squemish with House Rules, first we decide what that is, then decide if we like it. House Rules are a cooperative group thing and not a DM-ruled thing in our group, by the way. If its not too important, then I'll declare something and we'll go with it. Usually if there is a dispute, I'll rule in favor of the players, honestly.I take a note about what came up then later we look over it with a more fine toothed comb. We decide if we like the RAW on the matter, and we decide the possible consequences. Sometimes I just say I'll bring up the question on ENWorld (referred to as simply "the boards") or a player will say he thinks it should be brought up, so then based on all this we decide what we think is best for our game.I think the last time this came up was regarding the divine damage in flame strike, which we determined probably made half the damage regeneratable by trolls, however we didn't like it so we house ruled it to be "divine fire" damage instead that bypassed resistance yet still counted as being fire damage for regenerative purposes in our newest House Rule. It took roughly two minutes.</blockquote>
