[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6919112, member: 6701872"] I wasn't counting that as ignoring rules, but I do it a lot too. If I don't know where to find the rule in the book before picking it up, and I don't already know the rule by heart, then it probably isn't important whether the ruling I make to keep the game moving forward matches what is in the book or not. Also, I forgot another than I "ignore" by way of a house-rule: [B]Ammunition:[/B] If it is magical it lasts until you hit something with it (so the player doesn't feel like they can "waste" magical ammo, and as a result doesn't feel like it is necessary to be so careful about when to use it as to end up never using it at all), and if it is mundane don't bother keeping track of quantity - you have plenty, and will continue to have plenty, right up until everyone at the table agrees that it isn't reasonable to still have ammunition based on the circumstances in-play. And actually, I think that might just be the by the book rule for magical ammunition for 5th edition, but I don't feel like checking right now so I'll leave it phrased as part of my house-rule just in case I'm remembering incorrectly.
