[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 839167, member: 1656"] I'll chime in here to say that I feel Arcturus is being a little free with the "House-Rule!" brush. I personally feel that Invisible creatures [i]can't[/i] see themselves, with the exception of Invisibility Sphere. But I admit there is room for argument. I accept Murrdox's version as an alternate interpretation - if I were to call it a house rule, it would be because I'd deliberately chosen to be insulting. And I would be offended if someone told me that my own interpretation was a house rule. See the recent Blade Barrier debate for an example. I think there's insufficient evidence to dismiss either interpretation in the Blink debate as a house rule. When someone says "I can see how it works, but it makes no sense, and it should be like [i]this[/i] instead", that's a house rule. When they say "According to the rules as written, I believe it to be in this way", it's an interpretation. In some cases, those interpretations are dead wrong. In others, it's ambiguous. Remember the Haste-and-5'-Step wars? Calling either point of view a house rule was a good way to get yelled at. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
