[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7925862, member: 6801228"] That is great and wonderful. It also has no bearing on the conversation. Great, everyone can choose to homebrew anything. No one disputed that. Ever in this entire thread. The dispute has been "is this following the rules" and your answer has consistently been no. Because the flavor text is also the rules. Except, when I point out other flavor text, and ask if those are also rules, you say those are homebrew and don't count. Or that those are just general examples, and you don't have to follow them exactly. And everytime I put forth "this is your position, this set of logic would follow this position" you deflect by telling me something different, and saying that you have been consistent this entire thread. But you haven't. You keep changing from hard-lined stances, to soft-line stances on what particular text is a rule and what is a theme, and what is an example. And saying that DMs are free to change anything does not change that. DMs changing the rules does not matter, if you can't even tell me which rules there are, and be consistent in your application of the definition of those rules. [/QUOTE]
