And your judgement isn't privileged over the judgement call of the DM at the table. You're accusing people of breaking the rules because their interpretation of what qualifies as a complication happens to be different than yours. There is obviously disagreement in this thread over what is and is not a complication. So even if your claim "some things simply aren't complications" is true, there plainly isn't a method to unabiguously identify which things are complications and which aren't. (If there were such a method, there wouldn't be disagreement.) So the question then becomes: whose opinion on what is and is not a complication determines whether the DM is following the rules? There, I think the answer is unambiguous: it's necessarily up to the DM at the table. Do you disagree? Are you arguing that what you personally consider to be a complication or not a complication determines whether a different DM at a different table is following the rules?</blockquote>
