[QUOTE="Alex319, post: 5059145, member: 45678"] I'm a little confused about this argument. It seems like there are two possible cases: CASE 1: You have a "powergamer" who is "making your job hard", and you want to "gimp" him. Since (at least as I infer from your post) you would prefer that you be able to do this within the confines of the rules rather than having to make up house rules, it seems like you would PREFER the rules to "gimp the powergamer", so you don't have to make up house rules on your own to do it. Or is there a distinction between "DM adjudication" (which you like) and "house rules" (which you would prefer to avoid) that I am missing here? CASE 2: You don't have a powergamer, In that case the rules that "gimp the powergamer" aren't having any effect on your game, since there is no powergamer to gimp. Or are you arguing that there are rules that "gimp powergamers" but also have negative effects in other areas of the game? If so, what are they? [/QUOTE]
