Law and reality don't always align. I am the creator, even if the law doesn't recognize it. Training is irrelevant to creating via...

I'd adjust their xp such that they're at the same place within the Fighter level as they were in the Cavalier level. Another option is...

Where does it say that? High roll wins, which implies you're counting down. It's also whacked because for some inexplicable reason...

This may come in part - maybe large part - from different methods of working. Me, I want whatever I'm creating to be as nailed down in...

Can you elaborate on this, please - what 'math shuffle' are you referring to?
