[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7184271, member: 15700"] What ARE the basics? Seems like most everyone except you and a handful of others feel the basics (and more) are perfectly covered in the rules already. Certainly enough to know what to do with them in their games. And I hate to break this to you, but if you want the rules to cover everything that YOU personally want, you're going to be waiting a long time. There has never been a rulebook out there that covered everything everybody wants how they wanted it. Ever. At some point you need to take ownership of your playstyle and stop blaming someone else for not meeting your individual standards. The game is a toolbox. If you're expecting the RAW to be exactly how you want it with everything spelled out, then you're in for disappointment. They didn't write the game just for you. Or for Capt Zapp. Or for me. They wrote it for the gaming community as a whole. And if you can't come up with solutions on your own, then that's your problem. I'm sure you can. I'm sure you're an intelligent person. You just don't want to for whatever reason. And if a DM thinks making rulings is not a satisfactory way of resolving a problem that comes up, then they are playing the wrong game, to be perfectly frank. [/QUOTE]
