That means the entire friggen game is fair for this discussion...and let me tell you this discussion can go on a long time.  I have not even gotten to some of the juicier topics yet.  I will, eventually, expose where you accept something for balance reasons at the expense of believability, because we all do.  Because it's a game.I am asking about your existing house rules, not future ones.  I am betting you have tolerated plenty of things for balance reasons at the expense of believability at your table in the past, while you hold others to a different standard in this thread.  OK so system shock roll means you can survive, and nobody cares about equipment we're talking about surviving a fall from a high cliff purely because you are high level.  So in your game, you have accepted that high level people survive a fall off a high cliff to the rocks below, but low level people do not, because...it's believable? Please do explain.I am not complaining about anything, and I am asking what you did in the past not what you will do in the future to try and get around a question.  Either you never sacrifice any believability at the expense of balance in your games, or you do accept some.  The past is the determiner of that answer.</blockquote>
