[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9197867, member: 23751"] No it is not. Not unless the DM didn't know what rolls are for in 5e. This is the DM going out of his way to make trouble for the players for no good reason and not following 5e direction. There is no meaningful consequence for failure to cook food. Missing a meal isn't diddly. Right. Trillions of accidents per year :rolleyes: Car driving has a meaningful consequence for failure, unlike cooking in your examples. You moved the goalpost to a critical need patient who would get a surgeon(not average). They get what they get. You don't get to deprive the doctors of what they have just to be right. Nope! Perfectly fine for the vast majority of cases and was working out wonderfully until you moved the goalposts in order to score points. You moved the goalpost and so what would happen happened. They brought in the surgeon who is better than the average people like they would in those circumstances. You don't get to move the goalposts and then complain when I meet you at the new goal line. Since I never argued that they change, this would be what they call a Strawman. I'm not going to prove something to you that I never claimed. You can go ahead and prove it to yourself since you came up with it. 🤷♂️ That person was wrong. Straight 20's doesn't break the game. Six 14's is plenty good, though. If you want to be nearly perfect in your craft you need expertise. You don't need to be perfect in order to be good. The vast majority of DCs will be 10-15. By the time you are encountering 20's on a regular basis, you will be high level. Absolutely. 5e is an edition where stats don't matter all that much. Straight 20's isn't too powerful. Boring, yes. too powerful, no. [/QUOTE]
