[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9616092, member: 6684958"] I agree. Well, no. This comes from the strange idea that everyone must be equal in all things always, and the DM is "just a player in the game like all the other players". The reason to have limits in a game is to enhance the game. The player in an RPG limits themselves to a single character with the basic goal of having an adventure through that character. This should be easy to understand as it is no fun, and there is no game even, if a player can just do anything. It's like round one of the game would just be the PC rules the multiverse.....and end game. The DM does not have a character in the game though. The DM is the whole mutliverse of the game. Unlike the player, the DM has no personal stake in the game. So what is there to limit? The thing I guess so many players want to take away from the DM is the power to hurt, harm, kill or do anything 'bad' to any character in anyway. And this is just ruining the game exactly like the above by making the character immortal. If nothing negative can happen to the characters, there is no game. Never said that. Depends on the game? It is just a failure of comprehension Well, it is more then just imagination: It is a lot of mental skills and abilities. [/QUOTE]
