[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 7656510, member: 6787650"] It is indeed hard to compare styles across just a series of posts. Also, I was trying to illustrate a point which involved me saying "Yes" to a player so I picked Elvish sleep, but I could just as easily gone the other way on that house rule and said "No". (In this specific case I was already on the fence about Elvish sleep, since I can't see any other reason for that racial ability to exist, especially given that humans already only sleep for 6 hours during a long rest.) But yeah, if you know you're not a simulationist, you probably really [I]are[/I] more concerned with balance than I am. I let a barbarian domesticate a captured wolf over a period of several weeks, not because I thought through the balance implications of a 2nd level barbarian having an extra attack with proning and a handful of extra HP, but because the goblins who had the wolf previously had obviously domesticated it and so it made sense that the barbarian could too.
