[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6971776, member: 7006"] For me it is as simple as "Playing RAW is not inherently better than not playing RAW, so there's no reason not to make adjustments to the game to better the experience." I give my players little boons all the time (for any number of different reasons, none of which might be in the rules to do.) I will merge subclasses together for players if it comes out of how their characters are played. I will expand on monster abilities if they aren't doing a job I'd like them to do. I will change the mechanics of certain subsystems in different campaigns if they aid in setting up the essence of the new campaign. If my style of table makes certain subsystems either work too well or not well enough, I'll tinker to get the game to a better spot. And there's nothing wrong with any of that. No one gets any award for "playing by RAW", just like there's no award for "playing by RAI" or "rules, not rulings" or "rulings, not rules"... so questioning why you do or do not do any of it is absolutely pointless.
