Questions that are about the logical interactions of a game's rules under a strictly literal reading. Not for questions about normal clarifications of the written rules. Answering rules questions with house-rules and opinions will already be restricted by our site's rules.

Questions that are about the logical interactions and application of the game rules, when their written form is interpreted as strictly as possible, without reference to explanations or considerations outside of the rules texts.

Bringing in sources outside of game rules is not discouraged per se, but should only be attempted when certain it is a practical solution to the problem. Such attempts are “challenging the frame of the question” and best approached according to the guidelines of that meta post, to maximize the chance of being practically useful to the problem instead of merely off topic.

This tag is not a generic “I have a rules question” tag:

• For questions looking for normal clarification of game rules, do not use this tag. Instead, use the tag named after the rules being asked about, e.g. pathfinder or shadowrun-sr4, and any other tag relevant to the subject of the rules, e.g. grappling or movement.

• For questions seeking to avoid answers based on house-rule or opinion, simply say so in the body of the question. Not everyone who will attempt an answer understands our tagging system, let alone that a tag might mean they should answer a certain way, so tags should not be used as a replacement for simply stating what you need from the answers. Answers at RPG.se are also expected to be based on more than mere opinion anyway, so no special efforts need to be made to prevent such answers.
