Believability at one level includes that on earth gravity works by default, that people can't walk through walls and so on. Fantasy allows for circumstances to bypass the standard believability rules.Agreed that striving for reality at all times is a bit fruitless, but that is true whether you are playing D&D or playing a spy game or a WW2 game which attempts to be soundly based in reality.The issue is that a gaming group needs to find a level of believability which they are comfortable with.(for myself, I find that D&D up to 3.5e is the limit of believability for me. 4e stretches things too far, and as a result I don't play or run it. But that's just me).Cheers</blockquote>
