Am I missing something?Why/how does this become a long thread issue because someone said something they'd do in their game...that obviously breaks the game.If you don't want the game broken and/or suspect/know you have players that will willfully seek to "break" the game...then don't use this ruling/material....same as any other material...printed or spoken anywhere about the game. When did playing D&D mean the LOSS of individual creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making skills?Individual Creativity: I don't like this ruling. I can come up with something "better" [i.e. more appropriate for the kind of game I want to run/play]. I'm using something else.Critical Thinking: This ruling is easily abused by players so inclined. It creates mathematical unfairness and "breaks" the game. I don't want that happening in my game. I'm not using this rule interpretation.Problem Solving: I have players who like to abuse the rules. I don't want to kick them out or give up my game. But I don't want this ruling in/breaking my game. I'm not using this rule interpretation.Decision Making: This looks broken to me. I'm not using it.Don't use what was said in Sage Advice. End of thread. Moving on. Next [ACTUAL] problem, please.</blockquote>
