[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9215252, member: 23751"] ::sigh:: You didn't read either those results, did you. You don't need paladin OR wizard, but you do need class(es). You don't need elf or human, but you do need race(s). The rules you need to run the game are in the PHB. You can chop some out, alter others and add in new ones completely, but you cannot change the fact that the rules needed to run the game are in the PHB. You are also not everyone, so you need to stop viewing this as being about you. YOU might not need the starvation and difficult terrain rules, but they are there because the game of D&D needs to have rules like that. I've never said or implied otherwise. No.............it's.................not. You don't to make a guideline into a rule just because you want it to be. WotC decided that the rules needed for the game were in the PHB. THEY are the ones who got to make that decision. If you design a game, you can decide for your game that your monster book is full of rules. Show me where those are mystical languages with mystical words. RAW requires mystical words using specific sounds. It's called the Arcana skill. Everyone has it. Those who counterspell are more versed in the mystical tones, because they use them constantly and were trained or intuitively(in the case of sorcerers) came to know them. You cannot sneak a verbal spell without some sort of specific beats general ability like sorcerers have. [/QUOTE]
