[QUOTE="TornadoCreator, post: 5505338, member: 6672078"] OK, I've been in games like this and I've via house rules in my early days caused games like this. I created a few magic items and allowed some 3rd party feats/spells in my 3.5 campaign a few years back because they fit the theme and storyline but they unbalanced the game terribly. I've also played in a WoD game where the players didn't know the rules and often rolled 2-3 extra dice in their dice-pool and the GM neither cared nor bothered to explain the rules. I left the WoD (world of darkness) game because it was getting silly, we may as well have been Gods because we could just effectively make up our stats. In my D&D game my players did a something you may consider.... an ultimatum Two of the players, the two familiar with the game took me to one side and said "Rebalance the game and keep to the rules within reason or we will leave, if we don't see a change within the next two weeks we're leaving the game." It may seem antagonistic but it worked. I rebalanced the game, and it worked really well in the end. Your only other options really are; 1. Put up with it, 2. Leave [/QUOTE]
