I don't know how often it happens, but it seems like in 3.x era new D&D settings often introduced new rules.The most astonishing example, I think, is the 3e FRCS. That book introduced many, many, rules that made it into the 3.5 core rule books. Effective Character Level, Level Adjustment, Epic Levels, and the XP awarding method of looking-up each PC by the PC's level and dividing the XP value by the number of characters in the party (the 3e method used "Party Level") were all additions to the game made it to the 3.5 rules set.There was another campaign setting, it was only one book, that contained rules for playing ghosts as PCs.Some of the setting WotC licensed to 3rd parties made rules changes too. White Wolf's Ravenloft added a rule that there was no way to detect alignment by magical means.So it seems like, at least in the 3.x era, campaign settings were often closely tied to their rulesets.</blockquote>
