I buy the ugly part of this: a rule can look perfectly intact and still stop mattering halfway through a long session. That’s the bit that should worry people, not whether the wording sounds nice on the page.
If I can’t afford a rule to drift, I don’t trust it in the prompt. Has anyone actually seen better results from rewording, or did it just buy you a few more turns before the thing wandered off?
