You are stating that it is possible to carry multiples, even in a 10' corridor...not in dispute. But of course the PC was in the tavern, walked through a shop, and likely traversed the woods on the way. Plus they may have to fight or make tactical movements in said corridor. Again, all this is possible, but would require effort on the part of the PC to achieve (they would have to keep one hand free to guide the poles at all times).Anyone that puts multiple 10' poles in their inventory, without so much as a mention to the DM or in play, is ignoring basic realism.But more unforgivable than that, you straight up admit that you argued with your DM's ruling. Every other rule is a far distant second to that which you have broken with nary a thought: The DM's ruling is always right in the moment. If you must challenge a ruling for your own enjoyment to continue, and I stress must, because it should never be done lightly, make a note and challenge it later, away from other players.When you attempt to argue with the DM, usually they will dig in their heels and all you will accomplish is ill will. At best you have disrupted the game, shattered suspension of disbelief, screwed up pacing, and brought doubt to the efficacy of your DM. In my game the handful of times this has happened, in the 30+ years I've been behind the screen, it was always because of unseen or unknown forces changing circumstances in a way the characters couldn't perceive (why wasn't the spell turned? It was an epic level version. Why didn't my ghost touch weapon kill it? It was a sophisticated illusion. etc.).So in summary, no, I don't think anyone has a drastically different view of what is realistic, and what is a <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?523335-The-Peasant-Railgun" target="_blank">Peasant Railgun</a>.</blockquote>
