I do enough thinking about work, wife, finances, etc to want to find a reason to find one more thing to think too much about (That and my players really like things simple - too many rules and they stop having fun and no longer want to play).I guess my players and I have reached the conclusion that if you have to put too much work into playing the game it stops being fun and becomes work.  We also have found that if you look too hard at a rule you start to lose the intent of the rule to the detail of the rule.  But, that's just us - we probably have lower IQs than the norm <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for this topic, I think it's a DM's call and as long as the DM is consistent then it's fair.IceBear</blockquote>
