Of all the complaints about 3.x systems... do you people actually allow this stuff ?

[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5798299, member: 957"] You have not made a logically valid statement here. You have simply said that you might find it more fun if those actions are meaningless. And, by all means, do what you find more fun. But that doesn't contradict the point that the actions became meaningless. Again, this is just a changing of the parameters. The example presumed it was a known fact that the hero could not get there on time and that was called an off-screen failure. In the example being discussed it is a given that the granularity is fine enough. If the point made had been that in some cases there is flexibility and the DM should take narrative license to optimize the dramatic result, then I would agree. But in the case of saying that simulation determines something it is implicitly clear that the data is there to make the call, otherwise simulation would be silent on the matter. If the information says X should happen and you ignore that then the actions that led to the current information have been rendered meaningless. [/QUOTE]
