What benefit do you gain from assuming that people whose opinions on this matter differ from yours are actually denigrating your playstyle rather than merely disagreeing with it?
D&D General Playstyle vs Mechanics
- Thread starter Emerikol
- Start date
If the only difference is that I accept things that you do not, then yes it does mean lower.
Is that what you're rolling to resolve?

I expect there are things I accept that you do not too.
I've not only played in TRPGs where that could have made sense, I've played a character it could have made sense to have do it. It seem wildly unlikely to make sense in any D&D game I've been in or around, of course.
Such as?
No, it just means we have different point of view. I don't understand why you keep insisting that if someone doesn't like something you do that you're being insulted. All of these issues are subjective and personal.
If something is certain, there's no need for a roll. Winning the lottery is not certain, I'd need a million sided dice to figure out if I won.
You could just compound probabilities i.e. you need to roll a 10 on a d10 six times in a row

How do you feel about character death without players consent, save or die, dangerous magic, no cantrips, level drain, lasting/permanent injury, potentially deadly survival rules, fantasy racial prejudice, and warlock/cleric power loss when acting against your god or patron?
These are all things I can accept in my game under setting-appropriate circumstances.
