[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 99334, member: 111"] KarinsDad: While I would like it very much if most people agreed with me, in the end it doesn't really matter who agrees with me, except perhaps for my DM, as I am presenting what I think is the rule that best fits the game as it was published - that is, it follows the rules and intent of the rules as I read them. Far more importantly, I am providing a framework for discussion. I am certain that my label of "Best Advice" carries less weight with my readers than the "official" designation for the Sage's Advice, yet I see his advice derided and ignored at times. In any case, at the beginning of the document I clearly label "Best Advice" for what it is: Seems like a pretty clear explanation to me. History has shown, though, that many things that seem clear to me don't seem clear to you. As far as being objective, I am quoting rules, the Sage's (and others') opinion and arguments both supporting and undercutting my position. That's pretty darn objective. So I've decided to leave the format as is, though I did include the initial explanation to make it very clear what I am doing. Of course, if someone else wanted to take on this monstrous little project, they would be free to present it any way they wanted, I would only want to see that both sides of each argument were presented fairly. So much for defending myself. Do you have any input on anything in the list? Or anything else that should be added. [/QUOTE]
