What is the most overlooked rule in dnd?

[JoelF]

Line of effect for spells requires a 1 foor square hole opening in a barrier to be able to target through it.

 

[Emirikol]

..that all psionics are unaffected by armor, including full plate and lead helmets...

That holy symbols can be sundered and are either silver or wooden and that clerics evidently have three hands (holy symbol, morningstar and shield quoted earlier)

That to hide any item on your person, you need a sleight of hand success

That there is no such thing as a Wand Holster or Potion Holster, yet we draw these items as a free action

And the fact you must already be in melee to be able to fight defensively or take a full defence action.

You can only take a full defense action in melee? Really? Wow. Can anyone provide a PHB reference for this?

I think you can take a full defence action even when not in meelee. Dodging arrows and such. "Dance, Knight! Yehaw!"

I think you can take a full defense action any time.

It is combat expertise that you must be in melee combat to use. At least that is how we've always played it (and probably will continue to regardless ).

Rule Zero

That, and the one that says that rules are suggested guidelines, not edicts etched in stone.
