[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8721078, member: 7006"] Asking the DM is what makes the game great. Specificity is overrated. Especially considering specificity of a rule you don't like means you're stuck with it even more than if the rules allowed the DM to change it. I mean for pete's sake... we've now seen dozens upon dozens of rules that people think are wrong or bad. Do any of you think the game would be improved if the game didn't account for this by telling everyone to just change the rules they don't like and instead said "Nope, these are the rules! Use 'em or find a different game!" Most of all of our rules changes or things we find wrong in this thread are countered and completely opposite to what other people also say are wrong. Which means you can't ALL get the game you want. It is impossible. Someone will always find fault with the rules because everyone is on opposite sides of every decision. Which means the BEST THING we can do is take the rules we have... and then change the ones we don't like into ones we do. And there is nothing wrong with that. WotC gave us 98% of completely workable rules for playing D&D. The fact that we might choose to change the other 2% to something our particular playstyle might prefer is a GODSEND, not something to be pissed about. [/QUOTE]
