[QUOTE="Thyrwyn, post: 6550524, member: 12354"] You have given no reason why said resolution mechanic was used instead of the mechanic specifically designed and written for [i]exactly this situation[/i]. There is nothing in the proposed scenario that would indicate that THIS situation called for DM fiat (written down or not, that's what this is). Please provide chapter and verse (aka "show your work") which the DM can point to that is something other than "The DM thought this would be more interesting." Because, if there is no specific, written rule specifying that in THIS situation this, different ruling makes more sense, it is just the DM acting on a whim. Also, It is nice to see you take ownership - much more honest than the "I have no vested interest - I'm just asking a question..." stance. FYI Use just the information provided in the example scenario. Is that supposed to be an insult? We're discussing rules to a TTRPG in an online forum. We're all nerds. I happen to be a math nerd, a language/grammar nerd, a film nerd, a sci fi/fantasy nerd, and an RPG nerd. Please illustrate (aka "show your work") where we "math nerds" disagree. How the DM and the Players in the example feel is completely irrelevant [i]at your request[/i]: You didn't ask us how the hypothetical DM and players felt. You asked what [B]we[/B] thought and how [B]we[/B] felt. We told you. Now your telling us we are wrong, biased, and have accused some of us (you did not specify who) of having an "agenda". [/QUOTE]
