The Rules as Written, RAW, is the Grail of optimizers and casual players alike. Obviously the later might not notice the inconsistencies, and the former is going to be either bothered by the absence of clearly laid out (and non-contradictory) rules OR is an evil munchkin player who wants to take advantage of the inconsistencies.

I'm in the camp of those who need to know, since I'm not a dishonest munchkin.

The fact of the matter is that, right now, those who love delving into rules will find themselves blocked at some pretty important questions when making the most basic character.

Initiative and dice stacking rules, for example. This needs to be clarified. What stacks with what? Adrenaline Boost, combat drugs, etc. You could add the *whole* thing about mystic adepts and a lot of other ones, I'm sure.

Am I the only one out there impatiently awaiting the errata/FAQ to actually finish character building? What challenges are other folks facing in terms of unclear rules that put obstacles in character building?
