[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 2971231, member: 23977"] I dissagree that that is in any way a fault of the system. There are three "core" books in the game. PHB, DMG, and MM. All others are Optional accessories. It's always even in other editions of the game, been the DM's job to make the final call on what books and rules were allowed. The difference now is there are several choices that the DM has when using rules in his game. In prior editions, there was what TSR (or authors in Dragon) came up with, or what you hosue ruled in. (everyone else was sued...) Now, instead of having to make your own rules, you can see if anyone else has a better idea first. (which is great for time strapped DM's like me!) But that doesn't mean you HAVE to use every rule out there in your home game! To me, that's the best idea behind options not restrictions. Defeating a monsters doesn't have to mean killing it. Defeating it simply means you've deallt with it in some way. [/QUOTE]
