I think that problem solves itself by leaving the questions unanswered (unless someone is interested and also bothers to answer). Difficult questions are okay on the site. | |

For the werewolf, it was fairly implicit: "how does this stack up against other starting races" is scoped fairly well already (limited points of comparison), and in this case it was answerable without knowing anything about the campaign (unlike e.g. something with wings). Classes would be far more expansive, etc. We can just use "ask specifically about your situation" as a discriminator, as we should be anyway. | |

But I must say, personally, I blanche at the idea of having to check & enforce more heuristics and guidelines for when to close another kind of niche question type… Similar rules in the past have generally turned out to be more bother than benefit, but noticed slowly, after a lot of bother. It's enough to make me wonder if homebrew evaluation is just entirely broken here and maybe shouldn't be offered. | |
