I don't have to be sitting over it an chanting for 5 hours do I?
I'm afraid you do in fact.
I'm sure anyone (especially Imladir) will be happy to answer any questions. I'm happy to go with the flow for the most part.
On that subject, note that when I talk about rules, it's about the official ones, I don't mind if they are tweaked a little. Well except when I was planning something based on said rules, then I might be a bit grumpy of course :p
But for the most part, rules simplifications don't bother me, I'm mainly trying to offer the official point of view to allow you to decide how to handle things with some good footing.
