[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5790574, member: 59057"] 1st: stop telling me what I want to say. 2nd: 3.0 and 3.5 were two different beasts in some regards. Although most rules where the same, 3.5 did change some things i considered as very important: - Spells that can be used creatively and in different manners, where DM adjucation was needed, got some hard coded option. - Things like cover, which was adjucated by the DM in 3.0 got explicit rules. (Rember the picture in the 3.0 book, where 9/10 cover was explained? - I have heard, 3.5 didn´t mention rule 0 anymore. I have no prove, because I skipped the 3.5 DMG. The 3.0 DMG + SRD was good enough for me. I wanted to say, that players enforcing some board game rules on the DM is very annoying. D&D is a game about creativity. You need a good framework, which 3.x is, but in the end, it is only a tool to adjucate situation in a balanced manner. @ how explicit should it be? The first sentence in all 3 rulebooks needs to be: Rule 0 The DM is the judge for all situations. The rules given in this book are just guidelines and he may change them to better suit the game he wants to run. If you don´t like the way he is adjucating the situation, talk to him after the session and if you still disagree, open your own table. [/QUOTE]
