[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8132737, member: 7006"] Trying to find an objective RAW is pointless, because it doesn't exist. Every RAW is going to be ruled through the reading comprehension of the Dungeon Master in question. So using Adventurer's League as your excuse and explanation as to why you NEED to find RAW is also pointless, because the DM you play with at AL is still going to rule things through their prism of what they think the rules mean. Even if the OP's conclusion on how Knack works was supported by other people (even though its not)... that won't matter in the least. Because you'll go to an AL game, quite possibly find a DM who interprets the rules as the other folks in this thread are doing, and thus all your work to find the "truth" of this rule all falls away. And while you could spend all your time arguing with that DM "Oh no no no, here is what RAW is! This is how the rule is supposed to work!"... the DM will just tell you to get over it. Their table, their rules. My advice is to not EVER worry about the rules as written. Because all you need is a single DM who doesn't parse generalized, non-specific English language the same way you parse it to throw your precious RAW in the dumpster. [/QUOTE]
