[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2038040, member: 2011"] Like I think you are mistaken on your ruling, I think you are mistaken here as well. The FAQs are there to help people and a few minor errors should be overlooked (just like a few minor errors in the core books themselves should be overlooked). The 3E FAQ is 66 pages long, but it might have 3 or 4 rules mistakes in it (at least according to what appears in RAW). The 3.5 FAQ is 45 pages long, but it has a few more mistakes in it, maybe as many as 6 (hence, the reason I think it is not as well reviewed as the 3E one was). However, that is still a lot of good material to work with and to get a quick answer on. Your percentage of getting the correct (RAW) answer there (if the answer is in there) is even better than here on the boards where many topics will get you two or more answers and possible an argument over them. ;) It's surprising how many people post questions here on the boards that are actually answered in the FAQs where a quick search gets you your answer. I think many people are either too lazy to look, or do not know where to look, or just want to socialize here and ask a question to do so. The SRD is also a good place to do a quick search. The problem with the SRD is that it is broken down into so many individual files that if what you are looking for is obscure, you might not find it until your 4th or 5th attempt (if ever, some things are not in the SRD).
