John I think you and I have a differnt opinon on what a rule is.
you say intrepretation of a rule, or extrapolation. I still call it a rule. It's text that isnt in the book, and can be read in multiple ways.
It is of my opinion that in a shared campaign like CSE, that if a particular rule intreptation is allowable by the rules, then the judges have to accept it, regarless of opinion, you may not have noticed but i tend to not express opinions and I tend to not use examples to deny something.
We keep swapping back and forth between arguments, what do the rules say and what has actually happened in the real world? the rules are not meant to mimic real life exactly, or even close to exactly, and yet thats what you are basing your rules extrapolation on, what you think is possible in real life.
Here is what I base my argument on
the rules certainly do not disallow the TWF + Shield Scenario
I have given you a real life example ( now with
Video)
I have given you multiple in game examples
the only other things i can present is logic definitions, and arguments on why open interpretations produce less negative play experiences.
2 asides,1 for the record I sat down today with an eye to creating a character specialized in unarmed fighting to be my special character, I have a theortical skin in the game.
2 i might actually be cross at some point if you keep making me spell interpretation
