[QUOTE="Ted Serious, post: 7463254, member: 6959577"] Your odd numbered points seem like conventional explanations of metagaming. You say you don't like metagaming and want to discuss eliminating it from 5e. The even numbered points sound like special pleading to exempt any metagaming you do like. That makes it very hard to discuss solutions, since we have no way of knowing what might or might not be acceptable. Now your old friend Elfcrusher has let us know this is a crusade you have been on for years. Older than 5e. Older than Pathfinder. Older than 4e that set so many people off. You had a problem with whirlwind attack? In 3.0? I do not understand. It's like you've defined and analyzed yourself down a rabbit hole. Do you even remember why started you digging it? Whatever it is, it sounds like you've been doing fine with it for longer than I've been gaming. Or without it. I can't tell for sure. I can't help you. And, I see nothing to be gained by chasing down the same or similar rabbitholes opening up in this thread. You all have fun exploring them, though. Say hi to Bugs or the White Rabbit for me if you bump into them down there. I just can't take this seriously anymore. [/QUOTE]
