No offense to Son of Serpent, I don’t think S.O.S. has presented convincing arguments, but post one is not the place, in my view, to tell someone to go take a hike.If atanakar and Oofta were hurt by my posts, they have my apologies.  I don’t think they were, but my thoughts on that is irrelevant, if harm was felt, my contrition is sincere.As for Sage Advice, I’ve disagreed with things Gary Gygax, Skip Williams, and Jeremy Crawford have written.  The immediacy of Twitter, in my opinion, tends to result in Sage responses that seem rushed, and perhaps, not given due consideration.If Jeremy Crawford was playing with me as a DM, I would expect he would at least tolerate my rules interpretations at the table, as I would his if situations were reversed...that is how Gamers Roll is it not?</blockquote>
