greymarch said:I guess I shouldnt come here to chat about the value of "official" campaigns versus OGL campaigns, or "official rules clarifactions" versus home-brewed resolutions. It seems like the WOTC boards will provide better answers to such questions. I am going to post this very same topic at the official boards, and see what I get. I think the responses should be quite interesting.
Posting about WOTC at enworld.org is like posting a question about Jimmy Carter at the RNC messageboards. There is no point to it.
I don't understand the point of visiting a messageboard where you know everyone will agree with what you post. You sound like you just want affirmation that your opinion is correct, and that you will choose to go to the place where you're most likely to get that.
Your question, as you state, is about "the value of "official" campaigns versus OGL campaigns, or "official rules clarifactions" versus home-brewed resolutions." And you feel that you should only ask this at WotC's boards because that's where you feel you are guaranteed to get everyone saying "Yes, greymarch, you're right - official is better than homebrew"?
I'm kinda wondering why you even brought up the issue in the first place. You asked "Is it OK to change stats?", to which poeple answered "Yes"; to this you replied "It's not OK in my group". OK. Cool. That's absolutely fine.
I could understand it if the thrust of the thread had been along the lines of "This is how we do it in our group - I'm kinda interested in how everyone else does it, though", but, rereading the thread, I can't see that thrust in there at all. This whole thread just seems to have no reason for existing.
