[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8153531, member: 16814"] I find it curious that you think combat in D&D is not very interesting. No, I'm describing a process by which the player has placed stakes on the table. Those stakes are what make the difference, not what they player just wants. I'm hoping that what the player wants goes to what stakes they set -- here the player chose a very weak action for that character because they made the in-character decision to try to keep their issues with their disgrace from the University and attempts to correct that to themselves. That the portrait turned out how it did was due to the stakes the player put on the table with the action declaration and the intent. RNG is 100% not interesting. Please do your best to reconcile this with what I'm saying. I was happy you'd read the SRD, but it really appears that you didn't try to understand it, you just skimmed it for new ways to use double standards. [/QUOTE]
