So does mine. So does yours. I'm not here however to beligerantly try and force anyone to agree with my take on the situation. I am not here to make people feel uncomfortable. I am definitily not here to point out (what i perceive as flaws) in a persons basic campaign assumption and make them say they're wrong in a public forum.What i am here for is a good exchange of ideas. Hopefully all my posts have done is provide more grist for sharks grind mill.  Hopefully i've given him some new ideas/concepts to use in his world however he likes. Because he, andhis players, seem to be having a blast and i'd love to help others have more fun.There are several very good responses to the questions you and i have raised concerning his world.  He could say "Yes magic does counter magic the way you've described, but right now valoria is in an "ancient" (think roman) period where the changing use of magic is not as rapid as we modern's would expect. After a few more centuries the mindset behind magic will evolve a bit and it will eventually lead to reduced army-size and a greater focus on wizards.  Until then, this is the way it works."Thats a bang-on, uber consistant reply.  And its very logical and realistic.  And hell, he may not have thought of it (he might have, we don't know) and he may decide to take my idea and run with it.  Great! I'd love it to think that i've helped more people have fun.I guess what im trying to say is: try not to be so confrontational in your posts.  Your a quick, smart guy.  I know you don't want to waste time phrasing what you want to say in a less beligerant manner.  I'm just saying it would probably be in your best interest to do so because, (At least from my life experience**I used to be a beligerant as they come<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />**) when you stop posting like that you actually tend to enjoy yourself and others more.Now, if you think i'm a putz, thats your opinion.  This is just my opinion and all i'm trying to do is be as civil as possible. I understand that much of your post was praise for his world and the efforts he's put into it to make it more enjoyable for his players.  But don't let a bit of, and im not trying to be inflamatory here just saying what i think, "publicly admit that you're wrong and then I'll leave you alone" enter into the equation. Its belittling to you and to him.  And to me for that manner, as i'd prefer to not have my posts associated with that attitude.joe b.</blockquote>
