[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7602352"] I don't see why iserith should be expected to temper what he's saying. The passages he quotes aren't suggestions; they are rules. Sure, people might find it more persuasive if he stopped using that argument and instead explained why he finds the actual rules more enjoyable than some misinterpretation of them. But he's not saying anything subjective or untrue. Nor is he telling other people that what they are doing is "wrong" morally, ethically, aesthetically, theologically, fiscally or in any other sense, other than simply not being the rules. If people don't like the rules they should, of course, feel free to change them. I do. There's a long rich history of that in D&D. But this whole "my way of playing, which is different from what the authors of the book have written, are not house rules because the book says I can change the rules" is...is...well, I'm honestly not sure what it is. What's the point of trying to make that crazy argument? [/QUOTE]
