[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9014912, member: 23751"] Chocolate is as clearly defined as , "This is your game and you can do what you want with it." and "You the players need to check with the DM to see if HE changed any rules." You guys can misinterpret the DM being granted the power to unilaterally alter the game all you like, but it doesn't change the fact that the game gives that power to the DM. Yes it is. It's specifically the DM having the ability to unilaterally alter the game. Google it. That's entirely irrelevant. Rule 0 is defined, so if they are getting it wrong, then they got it wrong. It doesn't mean that Rule 0 isn't defined. There is no viable interpretations of those passages that don't involve the DM having the authority to unilaterally alter the game. There are misinterpretations that do so, though. I mean, just look at it. "[B]Your DM might set the campaign[/B] on one of these worlds or on one that he or she created. Because there is so much diversity among the worlds of D&D, [B]you should check with your DM about any house rules[/B] that will affect your play of the game. [B][U]Ultimately, the Dungeon[/U][/B] [U][B] Master is the authority on the campaign and its setting[/B][/U], even if the setting is a published world." That's unilateral authority in all viable interpretations. Your DM might... You should check with(not discuss with) your DM... The DM is the ultimate authority... [/QUOTE]
