[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8396556, member: 7032025"] Again, where is the rule that say that NPCs with power have to have levels ? It still does not mean that their skillset has to have anything to do with the member of an adventuring party. And most of these stories are hearsay or grossly deformed by players who were not happy with their DM, usually because of differing playstyles. And, compared to the number of players worldwide, it would still be an extremely low number of cases to base anything upon. And, in any case, I will not make an opinion until I've heard both sides. I've had enough players coming to forums to complain about having horrid DMs but who, when grilled about their own attitude and what really happened, just revealed themselves to be entitled little ****. I'm not saying that bad DMs don't exist, but what I think is that most of the problems come from different playstyles and no proper session 0. Nobody is forcing you, you know... And nobody is forbidding you to play 5e with your preferred style, just don't judge others for playing in a different style... Again, why ? Which cosmic law are you invoking to justify this ? It's written nowhere in any book ? And that's reason enough not to encourage it. Again, why ? MM might be working differently, or it just might be a fairly different spell or power. Again, show me the rule that say that there can be only one way to do missile that do force damage in the entire multiverse. There is no such thing. [/QUOTE]
