[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5517866, member: 19675"] I would rather in-game challenges remain within the realm of PC capabilities. While it doesn't bug me enough to make me not enjoy a game at all, it does diminish it. Here's why: I've been on the flipside of it. I'm a smart guy, and I was playing a smart PC. I had a flash of insight that revealed the hidden meaning of certain symbols used by this cult, and by doing so, i was able to lay out the campaign's grand metaplot.* The DM sat there with jaws agape; my fellow players wer pleased. Then, due to it being the holiday season, we had to take 2 months off- too many scheduling conflicts. By the time we got back to the table, I had forgotten the fist of my big reveal, as had all the other players. But only 1 campaign day had passed. The DM ruled my PC had forgotten what he had said just the day before. I was ticked, but played on. So, no- regardless of the side if the screen I'm on, I don't like player challenges. * I'd done this once before in a different campaign. [/QUOTE]
