Suppose the FAQ picks one side of an argument that RAW can be used to support both sides.  In this case, the FAQ can be used to get another's opinions.  But if RAW can go either way what is more important is that the actual group of gamers finds which side of the argument according to RAW they find most reasonable.  Thus, the FAQ can have some voice, but the opinions of the actual gamers at the table is more important than the FAQ.So, can the FAQ serve a purpose?  Sure it can.  But I am honestly much more interested in what the gamers say than the FAQ.  In a marginal call, its the gamers who have to decide what they can live with.Thus, the problem with the FAQ and this board is that the FAQ is usually either wrong or discussing some point that is better of being a judgment call.  Forums like this are about black and white and don't accept gray very easily.</blockquote>
