[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 9250964, member: 6799660"] I am not. I courteously pointed it out in my first response genuinely as a good-faith endeavor, and then responded completely as an amused response to the resultant evasiveness. I did not miss the reasoned motivation for posting. I don't know why you believe that this is so. On this board and several others (including some, like the Giants in the Playground gaming board, which have different policies regarding thread necromancy), people routinely fail to realize that they are doing so. This exchange really was an earnest attempt at precaution against a reasonably common occurrence that you might or might not have stumbled into, and it could have ended in exactly one statement on each side. Let me assure you that I will sleep very well tonight, knowing that that is how you feel. I have no idea what you are talking about. I said nothing like "Make it whatever without reference to reasoning it out." That paragraph starting "To the subject at hand" was not specifically directed at you, but to the thread topic in general. There was nothing obtuse about what I said -- it wasn't a factual reference to game-rule metrics, such as the (let's be clear, useful) chart you provided-- but rather an aside about needing to make sure whether the game you are in is playing by those measures (given variability in how a DM might interpret large creatures). It is a proverbial 'check with your DM' statement, and hardly one I expected anyone to have a problem with. That's the most D&D answer of them all, to be sure. If you're playing gp=xp, I'm sure the giant will be measured in coins (along the lines of 'an 8-pt buck'). [/QUOTE]
