The fact that you think it requires neurological divergence to be a jerk is just mind-boggling to me.Clearly, because the only Bad DMs are those with mental illnesses. I fundamentally disagree with your position.You can alter a tool without harming the usage of that tool. What about how you use it requires unlimited and unfettered power that cannot be countermanded? Why is it a good thing that that is the tool you need?  An assertion you seem to refuse to support in any manner. That isn't convincing.Because you said stopping the game to explain the situation ruins the game. Right here: "To have to stop the action in order to discuss the situation, proposed a new rule, receive counter proposals, and then vote on a replacement would destroy the session. It's much better for the DM to just have the authority to just make a ruling and quickly move on with the fun." If you are stating that you do not stop the action to discuss the situation, which is your implication, then you must be making the change without explanation. Because you didn't stop the action to discuss the situation. I see now that that wasn't your intention, so you do intend to stop long enough to have a brief conversation, which is all that would be required, you just don't allow the players any say in the rule that you propose and implement.And we aren't discussing your personal enjoyment. We are discussing the role of the DM. If you hadn't cut out the next sentence that would be clear. So, your point is a non-sequitur.So, I'll take that as a no? I've still got Tasha's to go back through, and other things I haven't caught up on, and you aren't going to be happy with my observations anyways (You never are. I read it, tell you what I see, and you declare that if I could understand what I was reading I'd agree with you, or something else dismissive. Because it can never be that I come away with a different understanding than you, it must always be malicious.) I also see you decided to ignore the rest of my post. Interesting.</blockquote>
