Of course you wrote it "feels" that way.  "Feels" don't arrive magically out of nowhere like a stork dropping off a baby at your doorstep.  I'm inviting you to reveal your mental model that illustrates why your conception of the subject at hand generates these feelings.  I'm extending to you the courtesy of believing that your feelings aren't just arbitrary; that your mental model that generates these feelings is demonstratable.  You obviously feel its cheating because something about it connotes actual cheating.  So what is that and what about AD&D 1e/2e's version of this exact thing provides exemption from your "feels like cheating" mental model?  You've called yourself a D&D player with old school sensibilities aplenty.  From recollection, you weren't big on either B/X or RC D&D.  So that leaves AD&D.  What about AD&D's (original and iterated off of Chainmail) version of "minion rules" exempts it?</blockquote>
