[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2681211, member: 2011"] That is not a house rule. It is quoted directly from the DMG and no matter which decision you make, you are still following RAW. Think of picking one of the two contradictory rules as choosing which optional rule to play. The two contradictory rules are core. They are in RAW. You just have to pick one. Picking a rule which is not in RAW from the FAQ though, is a house rule. Making up a rule which is not in RAW is also a house rule. Now, you can view FAQ as core and official, but they make too many mistakes for me to do that. I consider it a lesser source. Good for a quick lookup, but not really official. Ditto for Rules of the Game. So, bottom line: If it is in RAW, it is not a house rule, even if it is an adjudication. If it is not in RAW, it it a house rule. There is a difference between an adjudication and a house rule. A house rule is a subset of adjudications, but it is not the entire set. [/QUOTE]
