How people play at the table is always messy, and a war zone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />In theory, we should all carefully think out our houserules and actions and announce them to the group for a democratic vote of approval, where we weigh all the effects the new rule will have on the game at large... then continue on knowing all ideas and options have been ratified by everyone... What actually tends to happen is we're in a game, and someone (probably the DM) does something that is not in the rules, but might be fun. Sometimes it is, and a grand time is had by all... Sometimes it's not, and people wanna smack the dm.Since it's a thing we do to amuse ourselves, we should then be able to just say "Dude that sucked." and then hash it out till a consensus is made.It sounds like the OP is really the only one that has a real issue with the houserule (although others seem to be coming around to his way of thinking.)If that's the case, and everyone else is cool with it then he needs to suck it up and either deal with it, or do something else. If everyone else in the group thinks it sucks, and the DM keeps doing it then yeah we have a problem.If that's not the case, and the OP is the only one with the issue then, he's just being a winy rules lawyer. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />I'm not a fan of we HAVE to do X simply because the book says so.</blockquote>
