Why would I? You finally answered the question I asked three posts ago. That said, measuring one point of my post, which contained multiple points, based on other posters, to which I may not have read is a touch silly, don't you think? What I do think, is that you are indeed "spoiling" for a...

Ah, no sir, I was not confusing you with another poster, but I did think you were disagreeing with my method, and was interested in teasing out your thoughts on a possible better way, or at least highlighting a potential mishap that I may not have noticed. So far our interactions have been...

Indeed! And your purpose in stating such? The addition to the conversation was what? You state that I somehow misunderstood your meaning, as, that response is CLEAR (at least to me), that you disagree with the way that I adjudicate players self assigning rolIs, and the reason you do so is...

It sounds like for the most part, we have very similar methods, other than my adherence to a process that works for me in particular, given my particular table's needs, which includes me as DM. For clarity, I do listen and am pretty open to suggestions for my players about what skills they are...

Very well. I presume yp u are actually interested in moving forward with a real discussion, in that case, for the third time, what is your purpose in posting this? You state I am grossly misaligning your intent, fair enough. But instead of saying, for a third time, "ah, governor, you be Iying...

I say again, it "factually", literally, it is an example of why you should or could ignore my table rules does. If that is not your intent, then I ask you to clarify your meaning, from that first reply. If you are uninterested in doing so, you are welcome to not respond or otherwise respond with...

Except, I stand by my use of the word literally, in the use I gave it, just as I did not say you literally said that I was somehow sighting my players, I said you inferred it. If that is not what you meant, and your tone has come across text in a manner yp u did not mean, I will ask you to...

Their post said: I can figure out what I need to roll, so I can ignore your table rules. I disagree, as their post in no way explained how they would bring an adequate answer for the other reasons that I do it this way, at my table, for my players. That said, consistency is a sliding scale. I...

Your post literally gave an example of how you are able to ignore my table rules because you are able to figure out which modifier and skill should be applied, ignoring my other two reasons for doing so, and then add a snide "question" at the end, inferring that my table rule is somehow some...

So you would refuse the table rules to intentionally derail the dm, who has put a lot of effort into bringing you a game that, presumably, you are enjoying, as, we apparently have history, and have been playing together for a while?

Ah, consistency. Consistency is it's own reward, it helps to maintain fairness, and more than a few players have been saved from low rolls, that simply did not count, though, because I am consistent, it has also more rarely resulted in a high roll being "wasted". There is also the benefit to...

I believe you will come across my more in depth reasons, for which there are a few, for handling it this way, as you continue to read this ginormous thread, as I know that was an early response at the beginning, but: One, it helps keep me from getting derailed, as I am susceptible to such; two...

I love this idea, and I would lean towards customized lists, but I would not try to do them all at once (except first), I would probably do one at a time, as a character is being made that would use the list. I would also absolutely add those options that "every sorcerer needs" but theme it to...

There are a couple ways to approach this, for myself, it would depend on "available resources", but one way to handle it if the resources just are not there, than let them level up without having chosen, and let the training come a bit later, though in that case I feel it is your job to make...

Fog myself, it is much less about my authority, and much more about consistency. In most of my games, I implicitly trust the people I game with, as, if I did not, I would not play with them, but that is a general rule, and at times I have played with people I did not, as either a favor or other...

I do not believe so, but instead of either copying and pasting my reply, I will instead refer back to my post when I replied to 5ekyu, and state that the one thing I very much believe in is fairness, and consistency. Often, I will even change up a house rule, or even core rule, if the table...

Because there are many different ways to play the game, as I said in an earlier post, I almost always ignore them if they are not relevant, which has saved people when they have rolled poorly, but used the wrong skill, or no roll was necessary at all (to extrapolate on that thought, it has also...

I understand that you are not asking of me, but for myself, if I was inclined to accept the rolls at all, I would absolutely take a low roll as a failure, even if I was not going to call for a roll in the first place. If I was going to declare that your outlander ranger, at 2nd level, was going...

I normally ignore the result, ask what they are trying to accomplish and how, and then call for a die roll, ignoring what they rolled the first time. Usually it only takes one or two times to get the message across, the most stubborn was my children, actually, and usually that is just because...

Lol. We have very different ways of viewing this, and, frankly, I am ok with this. That said, I would imagine that the occurrence of these particular situations would be rare in the extreme, as, most players I would imagine pick races to maximize their stats in any case. And. Why not? Death is...
