It's that saying things like 'They should do it right,' is just shorthand for 'They should do it the way I think is correct.' And the latter is a superior way to say that because it leads directly to the discussion of why one way is better than another, as opposed to arguing over what 'right' means." - BarsoomCoreI like what's being said here.It seems to me that those who are answering this in the negative are missing one of the primary aspects of D&D - you can do it the way YOU want to. Don't like the new cosmology? Don't use it. My DM has a cosmology based around different levels of existence - a character pulled from one plane may either be more or less powerful than his counterpart in another plane. I don't see how that's a bad thing, as it is part of the logic of the setting. I've got different cosmologies in my own worlds. I don't see how I should have to stick to an "official" cosmology. Is there an "official" cosmology? D&D is not designed for the purpose of shoehorning us all into a rigid framework for every small detail. That's its strength, not its weakness. The best aspect of WoTC's "Unearthed Arcana" is the fact that it makes this clear and visible.That said, if you like a setting, then use its appropriate assumptions when adapting it for your use.</blockquote>
