[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7497532, member: 29398"] True. There's in any system going to be a few foundational rules that if changed are going to affect the system enough to make looking for a different system the path of less resistance. :) For these purposes, let's ignore those and look at things that a DM might change without turning the system on its head, such as these... All these are things a DM could do to a system without ruining the system. Now ignoring the specific examples for a moment and thinking about the principle, if a DM had done some tweaking to the rules and informed you of such and of what those tweaks were and then invited you into her game, would the very fact she'd done some tweaking (regardless of what those tweaks might be) be a deal-breaker for you? If yes, that's very much rules-as-law. Having tried (and even implemented) a few changes to 1e of about this magnitude, though not these specific ones, I know exactly of what you speak. :) [/QUOTE]
