[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Toot]

Agreed, Skip isn't known to ALWAYS be correct. That is why his column is usually taken as advice, not alaaways implemented in errata. I ama  big fan of using rules as intended to adjudicate.

No, he's not always correct and he has even errata'd rulings he has previously made.  Also, DM's are always allowed to interpret rules as they'd like.  But Skip does/did work for WotC and Sage Advice was the Official Question and Answer column for WotC.  However, if an answer doesn't work for your game then ignore it but it's not like he was just some noob who was pulling answers out of his ass.  

The problem with 3.5 is they created so many splat books that it's impossible to determine how they will interact with one another.  And Players are clever little...   who can come up with crazy combinations.
