This is why, whenever possible, I try to avoid actually writing rules in favor of less brainstraining stuff like background flavor. Of course, my most recent book was like, 40% rules. (Even when you skim out the overhead found in 780K of MS Word files, that's still a lot of rules. I hate writing rules. I always know I -- and my playtesters -- have missed some obscure combination or cross-reference somewhere that won't show up until four years later when some rules lawyer with a magnifying glass finds it, and which subsequently blows up the entire system... <sigh>)
