It's merely my opinion. The attributes/combat aspects of the house
remind me a great deal of D&D. But then again, I'm hiding in The Closet.

The occasional loophole is not unheard of. The trick is finding and
exploiting it (within the rules) so as to gain the necessary advantage.
I, personally, keep a binder with the current Ruleset in it in hardcopy,
if for no other reason than to remind myself of what has changed during
the last voting period.

Yes, well of course your discourse on the merits of legislation will be
entertained. I was interested and looked at the backlog of Tiles action,
and May was inundated with action. Now its September and the active
players are done with it. 
The house evolved over the last couple of months to its present status,
but started simply with a concept and a few rooms. Souls (and a major
rewriting of the soul rules) were in due course incorporated into the
Ordinances that govern the House. A loophole or two were introduced and
exploited involving Souls, but I think the last Vote either closed or
eliminated any advantage (i.e. Classes should be going away; in particular
see Necromancer).
 
So, do as you will. Anything that you can make fly can become a Rule.
Lobbying for support of your Proposals is to be expected.
