[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 9768864, member: 15700"] No, she's been very clear only the core books are used. I even tried to convince her to use OA one time, but that was shot down quickly lol. I did. And I said we do in fact do that stuff you mentioned, and gave an example of why (because she's incredibly detail orientated and that's her vision). I already said I'm not the DM so I can't for sure say what she is or isn't tracking in the numerous binders she has full of notes and tables and whatnot, but based on how we're playing the game and from what i know of the rules as they are written, it seems more likely than not that she's also factoring in the behind the scenes stuff because of what I know about her and her style. I've also fully admitted that I can't see why anyone would want to do that or put them though 1e RAW. But I'm not her, so more power to her. Despite the pain of actual play (especially the first few sessions), it's a good group of people at the table, so it's fun. And as someone who's been playing 1e for 44 years but never actually RAW, it's very interesting from an academic perspective. You keep pointing out rules that are wonky, painful, or not user friendly, which I have always admitted exist, but they don't actually contradict each other, which is what was claimed. [/QUOTE]
