[QUOTE="jodyjohnson, post: 6164778, member: 5590"] A variant of the Oberoni is the essense of DDN. If you think it is broken or wrong, then it IS broken or wrong for your style of gaming and the answer is definately to House Rule it (hopefully with one of the provided options, dials, or modules). In almost every disagreement on DDN rules the Oberoni 'fallacy' is really the first and unspoken option. Although not particularly helpful until we get to the 'No It's Not! Yes It Is!' stage of the discussion. Now I think it would not be valid for things the Developers would regard as 'broken', such as a Sneak Attack enabling ability that didn't actually allow you to Sneak Attack in melee (say like the wording on Isolated Strike [FONT=Century Gothic]Isolated Strike: Once on your turn when you make an attack, you can give yourself advantage on that attack roll if there are no creatures hostile to your target within 5 feet of it.[/FONT] Isolated Strike on a melee class like Rake just plain doesn't work.
