[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8282365, member: 6779196"] For both of us, yes. Yes, I get that! Stop telling me how it works in your game and answer my question! I fully understand what you’re saying. What I am trying to do is form a better understanding of [B]why[/B] you rule this way, by asking you to answer a question that is outside the scope of how you rule. I know that in your game you decide either before or after the roll how long the character spent on the activity, and that decision is upheld. I understand that you can’t say “wait, I actually want to spend another month on it” after it has already been established that you spent only one month. I get it, I really do. You can stop trying to explain it to me. What I am trying to do is a thought experiment that explores a hypothetical exception to how you rule, in order to figure out whether or not there is anything in the fiction, independent of your agreement with the player about how long the character spent on the action, that would make it impossible for the character to repeat that action.
