I can think of two examples off the top of my head.  The first is the Karma Beads magic item, which as written would MAKE the creator money and experience if they made one with fewer beads than normal.  Obviously, RAW fails in this case. The second is the Arcane Thesis feat in PHBII, which as written would allow someone to make a 0 level scroll as a -1 level spell, also making them money and experience for making a scroll. Again, a silly result that is obviously flawed.Other times, most people agree RAW doesn't work well, but not everyone.  An example includes Divine Metamagic feat (without the houserule that you can't increase the spell slot beyond the highest level spell slot you have) combined with multiple Night Sticks (magic item from Libris Mortis that increases your turn attempts per day, and they stack by RAW).And then you have the iffy cases.  For examples of those, see most of the rules board.</blockquote>
