[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7163513, member: 6777052"] You play OSR a lot, don't you? It's got your brain fuddled. Words in the 5e books mean what it says in the dictionary, unless they are defined otherwise. You are complaining that "exploration" isn't defined well enough in the 5e books? I'm explaining the idea of self-help. But, you make a perfectly cromulent point: there isn't a procedure in the PHB for looking up the meanings of words. First, you make an Investigation roll ... You worry about the logical structure if you like, while my players just have fun exploring the scenery. Deal? :lol::lol::lol: Thank you for looking up my recent post history. I'm flattered. That was an example of [i]exploration[/i] wasn't it? You have also provided an example of jumping to conclusions, but that's okay; the jumping rules come under exploration too ... I'll tell my fellow players they don't exist because I haven't posted about them. They will be amused. I think that's more [i]Social Interaction[/i] though. Unless they come and read this thread. That would be [i]exploration[/i]. Confusing, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
