[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5458088, member: 6667746"] [B]NOTE:[/B] Thought process at work..... You are making a false claim here. The fact that the GM has the CHOICE, does NOT mean D&D does not allow that. It merely means the GM can allow or disallow that to them. BIG difference in the statement. This part contradicts your claim. I would have said "for me" before that part, or changed the last sentence there to something like. "For my D&D games, I don't allow players to do just anything with magic." The blanket claim D&D doesn't allow it is wrong, but the claim you don't allow it is incontestable. Well I haven't played in your games, so I technically could contest it as an observer after the fact, but it would really be pointless, as pointless as trying to contest someone claiming "4th edition isn't D&D to me". This too is an invalid blanket statement, so will take that you mean "for you and your playstyle" and have no disagreement your games are that way. Ok you concrete it, you did mean for you, so I cannot argue with your playstyle as it is yours not mine. My confusion then lied in the blanket claim D&D didn't allow it, but your acknowledgment that GMs other than yourself allowed it, means D&D also did allow it. Now we are on the same page. As well further asking for clarification on the plain text as has been done here, and now I understand you and what you are saying. :) I cannot deny your playstyle, and we agree the option exists for it, so it is left to others now to decide which option and method they choose to employ.
