[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 6755257, member: 6799649"] English is a language with a wide vocabulary, and there are many, many different ways to say the same thing. The fact that the word 'instead' doesn't appear is no proof that the text doesn't have the same meaning as if the word did appear. I realise that you refuse to accept any wording that doesn't precisely match some unknown standard unique to you, but the rest of us aren't bound by such insanity. When you ask JC the question, and he actually answers you, you refuse to believe that he answered you on the grounds that he didn't use the precise words that you demanded. Meanwhile, the rest of us have the comprehension skills required to understand what 'the intent is that the druid survives' means in this context. At this point, the DM of 5E has made a ruling, you don't dispute it, but you're in the corner whingeing to anyone who wants to listen that the DM is wrong....! [/QUOTE]
