base rules vs. supplements

[Rebar]

(Not sure how to phrase this non-confrontationally, so I'll just ask it.)

Twice now I have asked rules questions which have been answered with 'look it up in one of our supplements'.

I have been buying HG products for 20 years. While I buy supplements as needed when I want to expand on the rules on 5E, I do believe I should be able to get clarification to existing rules without having to do so.

I've asked for clarification on a rule in HG 5E:
What is my effective STR when resistng a disarm? I think the answer to this is within the scope of 5E.

Thanks.

I will try to answer this as non-confrontationally as possible.

Once we publish something in a book, be it the core rulebook or otherwise, we are not going to give that information away for free. Purchasing 5E, or any other product, does not entitle you to the contents of any other book without paying for it.

So, my answer remains: you can find that information in UMA.
