[QUOTE="Awesome Adam, post: 6994365, member: 6808678"] That is wrong on soo many levels. Official rules, from official sources, are the baseline game. House rules, you just made up, only matter, at best, to your gaming group. Agreed. Your describing the baseline rules. If you are playing without the rules for feats, multiclassing, and flanking that not the "default" D&D 5E, your playing a limited version of the game, where you are willingly ignoring parts of it. No. I'm not making up rules that only I know. We're discussing a rule, that you clearly know about, but chose not to use, not something you have no reasonalbe chance about knowing about. Other than reading the official rulebooks, or this forum, or the fact I was specifically discussing flanking being an official rule and not a houserule. Again, it's completely different. Flanking is an actual rule from the DMG, all of your example are ridiculous houserules you've made up off the top of your head, that no one would have any knowledge of. Exactly. I was complaining about people pretending printed rules, from a core rulebook, are not widely known, or are as trivial as some DM's houserule, because they themselves choose not to use the rule. Do you not use the Hat of Disguise, because it's in the DMG ? Are you going to argue that if I use the Hat of Disguise I'm using a houserule, because it's not in the Player's Handbook ? Please don't bother anwering the last two questions, they are rhetorical. To me there is no difference between the rules for [I]Hat of Disguise[/I] and for [I]Flanking[/I]. You are not some sort of weirdo if you use either, and you shouldn't be considered some sort of outlier if you do. [/QUOTE]
