[QUOTE="JustinAlexander, post: 6066853, member: 6700092"] Seriously, though: The lengths people will go to in an effort to convince themselves that something explicitly and repeatedly labeled as a guideline should be treated as if it were an ironclad rule just makes me sad. And the entire mindset that interprets a guideline as being inherently "fallible" and "inadequate" and "inconvenient" because it's not comprehensive is simply [I]bizarre[/I]. It betrays a fundamental inability to even understand what a guideline [I]is[/I]. It's great that you think of yourself as being "RABID" about DM authority. But when your entire approach to the game is so deeply rooted inside the idea of rigid codification, that's really more akin to a center-right politician patting themselves on the back for being "RABID" in their socialism because they want to close some corporate tax loopholes.
