[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 2631741, member: 284"] I am so sick of this attitude. It's not a house rule, quite trying to marginalize viewpoints you don't agree with. It's a valid interpretation of the written rules, it's just not YOUR intepretation. You are not the authority on what is and is not "RAW" so quite trying to tell people what they can and cannot discuss in this forum (not to single you out, others do it too, and much more egregiously than you have). And last I checked, this wasn't the "RAW forum". It is the "D&D Rules" forum, so I don't see where it restricts us to just "RAW". It also allows for intelligent, reasonable interpretations of the rules, hopefully after reasoned and/or spirited debate. The point is to help you play the game, not reduce the rules to soulless scribblings. Which is why insisting on RAW only discussions can make it harder to actually understand the rules. Debating and discussing the rules is supposed to help you play or run your game. This "RAW ONLY!1!1" crap interferes with actually understanding the rules, to the point where rules discussions become meaningless. Even you admit that your "RAW" interpretation is stupid, but you still try to act like it's the only correct one. From the "YOU CAN ONLY DISCUSS RAW!1!1!!" attitude that certain people display in these forums. You don't do it as much as some people, but you are certainly doing it here . I don't really care if you think my interpretation is RAW or Houserule. But don't tell me I can't post it here, and sure as hell don't tell me how I have to phrase my interpretations before you find them "acceptable". Last I checked, these weren't your forums and you weren't a moderator. [/QUOTE]
