[QUOTE="Borlon, post: 2586142, member: 27589"] I don't agree that the RAW is defined as narrowly as this. I think what the sources for the RAW are depends on what rules you are talking about. For example, if someone has a question about material in the [i]Complete Divine[/i], can they not ask for a ruling based on the RAW? For CD, RAW includes what is in the CD, and in any erratta that has been issued for it. If the relevant information to CD material is found in CW or CA, would not that information be as much the RAW as the CD stuff? The Complete Series should be of equally authoritative value when adjudicating questions on material from the Complete Series. With all due respect to Dimwhit, I am not sure that it has been established that the FAQ always addresses genuinely ambiguous or contradictory rulings in the RAW. Or that the FAQ is itself always unambiguous and free from contradictions. I could certainly understand how, in particular situations, people could legitimately differ from the FAQ and still play the RAW. [/QUOTE]
