[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7895403, member: 6785785"] It's actually recommended in most if not all editions of D&D to ignore rules that don't suit your game. So it's perfectly valid, actually. As to whether what [USER=6855149]@Prakriti[/USER] described actually breaks the rules....I don't think it does. His examples are all reasonable ways to handle things.
