Anyway, I didn't want to get into rules debates with him, and he and I both knew that I knew the rules really well, so I'd just say, "Hargrf lets out a massive yell and flies across the field of battle, and when he reaches his opponent, his incredible speed and prowess lets him swing his frosty hammers not once but TWICE with amazing fury and dubious accuracy!  (Okay, flying, move and attack, second attack from haste, power attack 5)."Showing a DM that you know what you're doing by the rules makes it less likely that you'll get into stupid arguments.  And if he tells me that something I want to do doesn't work, I deal with it.  After all, I tell HIM that all the time when I DM...-tacky</blockquote>
