I don't look on Dragon as some sort of holy bible.But my point is that a lot of people on the internet (and, as you said, this isn't directed at you) would like to think their opinions on rules are just as valid as those in an official source such as Dragon magazine. Sorry, but their views aren't. Yes, they might be in their own campaign but I'm talking about D&D as a whole. I don't care how many posts someone has, or how persuasive their argument, or how well versed in the structure of the English language they might be. WotC and Dragon are the authoritative voices of the rules. You sit down at any random gaming table and chances are your opinions are going to take a backseat to official rule sources. It's the only way to ensure rules clarity and consistency. If people think their rulings are so much better, then they should go get a job with WotC/Dragon and put the official stamp of approval on them.As an aside, the greater Tenser's floating disc spell removes the restriction of the disc remaining within 3 feet of the ground. So it may be balanced for a 4th-lvl spell, maybe 3rd; I dunno, I'm not that well versed in gaging spell levels.But I think the balance of evidence now shows that Tenser's floating disc is not meant to be ridden. Sure arguments can still be made either way, but I think it's just a matter of time 'til this shows up in a FAQ (and of course, people will still argue that the FAQ is somehow "illigitimate").To be clear, it's your game - do whatever you want. It just irks me when people try to tear down official sources as being "illigitimate" just to justify their own positions.</blockquote>
