[QUOTE="StarFyre, post: 4016316, member: 26055"] [b]CadFan[/b] Hi Cadfan, I must say I disagree with the statement. Even when we started playing D&D back in 1991 or 1992 (whichever), there were stuff that immediately popped to mind.Some of it we used house rules, most we didn't and over time, we slowly changed things that we wanted. The reason we had those opinions was our vision of stuff or even logical ideas that we thought made sense. A basic example would be, there could be a crushing trap that does 10d6/round as it smushes you. For us, unless you got str of a giant or something, you CAN'T stop the solid steel walls, and thus its instant death. Techncially in the above paragraph, if you somehow had 100000 hp, you could live for a long time until someone found you; in our version, uhm..No. Unless you are truly that strong, you can't and thus won't survive. VEry basic example but just trying to think of a quick one. While house rules for stuff like how spells or monsters or items work is more in the realm of long time players, there are still some stuff (probably more basic concepts) that Dms want changes.
