[QUOTE="Fifth Element, post: 4568538, member: 48135"] Yes. Once again, if you read the single sentence without the context, you arrive at an erroneous conclusion. That was the whole point of what I was saying. That's also an overstatement of 4E's assumption. Sure, the books could use a few more "generally"s and "often"s in their advice. But again, read things in context. In my games (3E and earlier editions), sometimes we do like to haggle with the merchant and spend some time on it. Other times, there are other things we want to get to and skip over the details. Nothing wrong with either approach. 4E's advice should probably have been written more clearly to escape the overly literal reading that seems to haunt it at times. There's no need to try and turn this thread into edition war v.178. No one here, as far as I can tell, has referred to previous editions as inferior. Or that people playing them are 'stuck'.
