[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8298934, member: 5889"] Every DM misunderstands the rules from time to time, and so starts playing the game a certain way. Sometimes once you realize your mistake, you correct it...but other times you like the "mistake" and decide to keep it. What are some of yours? For me I have a couple: [LIST] [*]Grapple and Trip are allowed on a Opportunity Attack. So technically it requires an attack action to swap out attacks for things like grapple and trip, which I didn't realize at first. But I found that it was the start of getting my players to use those mechanics more often, and now they really enjoy trying to grapple the bad guy as he runs away sort of thing...so I kept it.
