"Common Sense" approach to rules (RACSD)

[Godskook]

I may be missing your intent on what this is, but I've posted my reactiosn below, and I think I found 1 rule that I'd put in RACSD instead of RAI, RAW, or houserules.

Rule 001: Drowning for Health Purposes (currently approved at 11/0; 100%: Andorax, Djinn in Tonic, GoodbyeSoberDay, Doug Lampert, JoeYounger, Ashtagon, Talya, docnessuno, Lapak, Lonely Tylenol, Dandria for)

This is RAI, not RACSD, imho. If you're dead-set on the overlap, I agree, this needs to be a clarification to the original RAW.

Rule 002: My Thesis: More Complex Is Easier (currently disapprovedat 7/3; 70%: Andorax, Doug Lampert, Ashtagon, Talya, docnessuno, Lapak, Lonely Tylenol for, GoodbyeSoberDay, JoeYounger, Dandria against)

This is not RACSD, cause it isn't 'common sense' at all. This is straight houserule/homebrew, and a version contrary to how I'd personally handle it.

The rule itself works(and I'd play in a game using it just fine), but its not RACSD.

Rule 003: Bonus Legacy Class Levels (currently disapproved at 7/3; 70%: Andorax, tuggyne, Doug Lampert, JoeYounger, Ashtagon, docnessuno, Dandria for, GoodbyeSoberDay, JadePhoenix, Lonely Tylenol against)

Again, RAI, imho.

Rule 004: Superior Unarmed Strike (currently approved at 10/1;91%: Andorax, Sgt. Cookie, GoodbyeSoberDay, tuggyne, Doug Lampert, JoeYounger, Ashtagon, Talya, Lapak, Dandria for, docnessuno against)

Agree, definitely a RACSD ruling.

Rule 005: Dead is Dead (currently approved at 12/0; 100%: Djinn in Tonic, Andorax, GoodbyeSoberDay, tuggyne, Doug Lampert, JoeYounger, Ashtagon, Talya, docnessuno, Lapak, Lonely Tylenol, Dandria for)

This one's RAI again.

Rule 006: Using What Comes Naturally (currently approved at 10/0; 100%: tuggyne, KillianHawkeye, Andorax, Doug Lampert, JoeYounger, Ashtagon, Talya, docnessuno, Lonely Tylenol, Dandria for)

1.This one unintentionally gives some monsters(like elementals who had natural weapons, but not unarmed strike) extra attacks they didn't have before. That needs to be fixed.

2.Again, I'd argue this isn't RACSD but rather RAI already.

Rule 007: Wolves with Hooves (currently disapproved at 7/2; 77%: Menteith, Andorax, Doug Lampert, JoeYounger, Talya, docnessuno, Dandria for, Ashtagon, Lonely Tylenol against)

This has nothing to do with rules and everything to do with fluff.

Rule 008: Dragonblood and heritage (currently disapproved at 3/4; 43%: Sgt. Cookie, Talya, docnessuno for, Andorax, JadePhoenix, Ashtagon, Dandria against)

Pretty sure this one is just houserule.

Rule 010: Who's Charging, Anyways? (currently approved at 2/0; 100%: Darrin, Andorax for)

Rule 011: Who's Riding By, Anyways? (currently approved at 2/0; 100%: Darrin, Andorax for)

I think this is houserule/homebrew, not RACSD.

Rule 012: Anything can be Armor (currently disapproved at 2/1; 67%: Ashtagon, Lapak for, Dandria against)

RAW

Rule 013: Clarifying the Dragon Disciple Paradox (currently approved at 3/0; 100%: Telonius, Andorax, Dandria for)

There's debate about this one, but I argue that this is RAW(via primary source rules) for pretty much every class out there(that rule only applies to the books its written in). Its also RAI.

Rule 014: I'm Not Left Handed (currently approved at 2/0; 100%: Keld Denar, Talya for)

Unnecessary. Anytime this might come up with a particular game, the DM is going to rule against this RACSD(if he was going to rule for it, it wouldn't have come up).
