[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8643322, member: 16814"] Of course they can. I can consider a game good, and not change it because it's meeting my needs. May not be perfect, but it's good enough. If, on the other hand, I am actively making a change, it's because the irritation caused by a rule that is not meeting my needs being large enough to engage with effort to correct. At that point, representing the rule as "good" when it's obviously irritating enough to change for you is something I find somewhat irrecocilable. Also, there's the whole "it's good except for..." Plenty of things hit this for me. 5e is good overall -- in that it meets my needs pretty well -- but has particulars that I'd prefer to be elsewise. In general, I don't houserule, though, because the irritation caused is generally not sufficient for me to correct, but then I'm fairly adverse to managing multiple houserules so that bar is higher for me that others. Still, I'm not going to be creating or even considering a houserule if I feel the rule is good as is. It's clearly not good as is, or I wouldn't be wanting to change it. [/QUOTE]
