Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knight Otu" data-source="post: 1515400" data-attributes="member: 192">What you describe is to me the same thing that happens on ENWorld, usually. Someone posts an idea for a house rule, monster, etc... and other people give their ideas on how that house rule might be made better for what it intends to do. Admittedly, posts in the Rules forum tends to have a feel that they are a "final and best solution", but that is, as you rightly identify, due to the fact that there sometimes are correct answers in the official ruleset. But overall, I feel the alternative you propose is already practiced on ENWorld, and widely so. That's my impression, at least, and it is quite possible that I read mostly threads that use that mindset, and miss the threads that gave you the impression that you have. In the end, I guess it all comes down to perspective. I have seen forums that, in my mind, would make the WotC boards look like a paradise in comparison, and boards that appear to be friendly, but only need a little spark to explode. But no one from those communities would agree with that impression, and propably would use many of the same arguments that have been used in this thread for ENWorld.</blockquote>
