[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9458967, member: 6801228"] I did not overreact. If someone said they prefer to a pump jack to lift a car over a hydraulic jack, they would have reasons to recommend one over the other. Generally at least. But if they have no reason, if it is just "I don't know, I like it better" then there is no reason to use one over the other. What I was trying to get to with my question, is if there is no reason to prefer one way over the other, then why should you as the DM even make a comment to a player who does it the other way? It is YOUR preference, with no reason to not use the other method, so if the player chooses to use a different method... it should not matter. You have no reason beyond "I would like it better if you did it the other way" which is fine to bring up after the game or something, but many of these discussions (including the one in this thread) start with the idea of training the players to do it the way you prefer. Which seems like an odd decision to make, if it doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
