However, the way yours are worded says to me that you're expecting trouble from the outset. Kind of like going out on a first date with someone who rattles off all the shabby stuff her ex did, then says "so you won't do any of that stuff, right?"I'd personally take issue with 5 thru 8.If the DM is obviously not applying a rule properly, I'd expect to be able to point it out.Tell me what a stupidly munchkin character is. Am I not allowed to try and build an effective character?Whatever. If you can't take a few moments time out, then forget it. I play to relax, not to keep up a breakneck play pace. Does this mean I cant take a 5 minute run to the store for some Cokes?If my PC contributes to overcoming obstacles and challenges, then I should get my share of the XP...even if I am a quiet player. You state that PCs will all get different XP, so I can only assume you have some non-standard, handwavey way of calculating XP. I can only presume from reading your rules that you live in an area where D&D players grow on trees. Wish I was that lucky.  I only know that if I laid down a rule sheet like that one, I'd probably offend half the guys that wanted to play...then I wouldn't have a game at all.Rules I'd consider would be more like: "interparty conflict is kept to a minimum...we're here to battle the challenges laid out before us, not each other.""You must be ready to act, with the proper rule referenced, by the time your initiative comes up...combat shouldn't take all night" That kind of stuff.</blockquote>
