[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9098131, member: 59816"] Your d6's never roll over? To me, all these restrictions on tripping a gelatinous cube people are coming with are just reasons why it should be [I]difficult[/I] not reasons that it should be [I]impossible[/I]. And in D&D, we roll dice to find out if our characters succeed on difficult tasks. A gelatinous cube probably isn't even trying to stop you from doing it, unlike a humanoid, for example. I'll grant that "trip" becomes a strange word to describe it (flip, mash, discombobulate, etc. work better) but that happens [I]all the time[/I] in D&D - rules where the game-rule word only matches the fiction [I]most[/I] of the time and not [I]all[/I] of the time. I feel like D&D players can either use their imagination to imagine the fantastical, or use that same imagination to limit the possible. I'd rather do the former. Whatever edition. But I get it, and I agree - we all have our lines to draw. I don't mean to criticize anyone here, or get your back up. [/QUOTE]
