[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9202199, member: 6801228"] Not a true way? Just the best way that follows the rules and everyone must be following because it is the best way? What's the difference? If it wasn't worth describing, then it isn't worth noticing. Again, people aren't stupid. You might as well be saying that you can't know soot stains on a floor being described by a DM might point to a fire trap, because other floor stains exist and the DM just doesn't have time to mention them, so only the players know the difference. That isn't how this works. PCs don't have to act like they are literal babies who can't process visual information. Let's say I believe you. Do the words "Boss Fight" mean anything to you? Did you happen to watch the DnD movie Honor Among Thieves? Did you notice that to save the day, and resolve the situation... there was a fight? Have you played any DnD modules? Watched any DnD Live plays? Also, no backtracking here. No trying to claim that combat is no more important than exploration or social, because that wasn't what you said. You said it was the LEAST impactful on the story. So someone who plays a character with 16 dex, 16 con, 13 cha, 12 Wis, 10 str and 8 Int is just objectively wrong to have done so? They made dex "king" so they are objectively wrong? So it is okay for you to talk about 13th level characters, but not me? And you keep bringing up this 3 point difference. I never claimed a 3 point difference, so I have no idea what you are talking about. It is about as useful as your actual responses, especially since you just constantly accuse me of every malfeasance you can imagine instead of responding to any actual points. [/QUOTE]
