[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6161430, member: 7006"] Can we please, PLEASE, [B]PLEASE[/B] just stop with the whole "If it's written in the book and I (as DM) decide not to use it, my players are going to get mad and complain!" excuse to justify NOT including things in the game? It is the LAMEST reason we hear over and over and over for not putting rules in the books, and it's just stupid. You are DM. You are running the game. You get to tell your players the rules you will and will not be using, and the houserules you will and will not be using. If your players do not like your decision... they either will choose not to play in your game, they will go along with you anyway, or they will make inquiries to you why you are using/not using said rules and/or houserules. And if your ego is so fragile that you [I]can't handle it[/I] when your players ask you why you are making these decisions... that is ON YOU. Stand up for your choices for pete's sake! I've said it before and I'll say it again... don't expect WotC to put or not put rules in place just so that [I]you don't need to take responsibility for your choices in the game you choose to run.[/I] You want to not use a rule in the book? OWN THAT DECISION! And stop complaining that you have to make decision in the first place. [/QUOTE]
