[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8796098, member: 7006"] If (general) your table won't allow house rules... again, that's a [I]table issue[/I] and not a design issue. If (general) you are stuck playing at a table that refuses to use any house rules because they think RAW is the ONLY way to play (which of course is complete baloney because you get no prizes for playing RAW-- there's no bonus points for refusing to make the game your own and in fact are doing so to your own table's detriment)... then (general) you should find a different table. One that can actually compromise and work hard to make all the players at it happy. But again, it's not WotC JOB to design the game so that you can just take it easy and not actually put in any work finding a table and fellow players whose style of play matches yours. Because basically (general) you're saying "I want the game to be designed so that everyone has to play MY way and they all have to come to me... rather than me having to find other people and go to them." And that's the kind of argument I would suspect would not hold much water back in Renton, WA. But you know, who knows? Maybe I'm wrong? The surveys take down so much information that gets basically translated into strict percentages of "I like it" or "I don't like it" that just saying you don't like a rule when you fill the survey out with no further rationale will be enough? Maybe you'll get lucky? [/QUOTE]
