[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 6820731, member: 6801311"] And I do tend to like that about 5e. I really like 5e. I just am not a big proponent of "I'm the DM, so I'm God!" I tend to be rules lawyer. Not in the sense of argumentative, but in the sense that I try to know the rules, and often know them better than the DM. It gives me a firm foundation on which to base my decisions as a player, knowing what I can do. So in that sense, yes, the rules as presented are something I as a player have control over. I don't like the uncertainty of living at the whim of some guy I barely know and see once a week. I don't think that makes me a "self-entitled player". Everyone says trust the DM. Some of us don't have that luxury. If I play with the same group for 20 years, then sure, that trust would be there. But I play in AL and at my FLGS. I have no relationship with these people outside the weekly game. Theh don't know or care about me. Sure, we are friendly and joke or laugh. But they don't know me. So why should I trust the DM implicitly? [/QUOTE]
