[QUOTE="Lily Inverse, post: 538103, member: 4594"] Another thing you need to understand, Hong, is that some people (particularly RPGA players) have no choice. To them, Skip's word is law, simply because you have to go by SOMEBODY'S rulings. In the short term, that might be the judge or the GM for your group, but Skip Williams' rulings are the final word on any D&D matter to them. This is, in part, because he IS one of the lead designers for the core game, which, incidentally, is why he tends to be very well listened-to. Skip Williams had some degree of involvement in the development of the current edition of the D&D game. You did not. Skip Williams is considered an [i]official[/i] source of errata. You are not. This may surprise you, but Skip Williams is more important in the development of game rules than you are. Contradictory, inconsistent, he is a human being, but his words are more important than yours because he acts in an official capacity to change the rules. Unless you're Monte Cook in disguise or the like, you do not have that position. If Skip Williams says something in an official capacity, it's errata. Deal with it. [/QUOTE]
