I don't care what the point is, there is a clear and obvious difference between talking softly and not talking at all.1) Lip Reading is in a feat. 2) The sound has to cause you to look at them is just your own made up requirement.No? What are you even talking about?  The DMG has a ton of rules in it. And statblocks are rule elements. Where did you even get the line that "statblocks are not rules and why should I not assume you are just misinterpreting what it says?So you have no idea what I said. Because to run a 100% RAW game... I have to have non-RAW elements. Which means it is not 100% RAW.Meaning can be gained through emphasis and tone. The second example you provided is still accurate to how I stated it.You do not get to define rules as "the rules are only the things followed at my table". You cannot add an optional rule that is not a rule. Even if it is not a rule you choose to use,  it is a rule that exists.  RAW speaks to how WOTC wrote the rule, not whether or not you bought a product that contains that rule.  If I have changed the damage die of a longsword, I have changed the rules of longswords. If I remove versatile from longswords, I have changed the rules of longswords Now, you can make a pointless semantic argument that "longsword" is just a collection of rules and not a rule itself, but that is splitting hairs to an absurd degree.</blockquote>
