No one is suggesting that the GM just decides what happens in any conflict. The concept of a GM making rulings does not at all facilitate this situation. The concept of GM rulings is to make fair judgements when the rules do not cover a situation.Again with the bucket brigade. I would suspect that the number of D&D games in the world that include an orc bucket brigade is probably in the low 1 to 2%.The bucket brigade thing is just a strawman. Which came from your post: <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/hot-take-aesthetically-pleasing-rules-are-highly-overvalued.675745/post-8112607" target="_blank">Here</a>. So the only person suggesting that D&D has anything to do with firefighters is you.If a bucket brigade of orcs becomes an important part of my next game session, I'll reach out to you for guidance on how I should run it.Well D&D is not about any of these things. If you want these things to be important to your game then fine... use whatever framework makes you happy. But I really don't care about any of this. None of these things are an important part of any game I run and if they do come up, I'll make a ruling and move on. Easy peasy. Cooking competitions, high jump competitions, races are small stuff compared to dungeon delvng and exploration. They don't need any time to adjudicate beyond a quick ruling.Another strawman argument, by the way. Since no one in this thread is at all talking about cooking competitions.I'm not expecting a system to cope with firefighting. That is again the same strawman argument. You are creating a completely unlikely and insignificant situation to make a point. Firefighting orcs is not something that is expected to be within the scope of the Dungeons & Dragons game.Stop using that as an example of why one version of D&D fails against another version or another game.I think you have me mistaken. I have never 'decryed limits and corner cases'. I simply have stated that corner cases not covered by the rules are well within the rights of the GM to adjudicate by way of GM rulings.And again another mark for the same firefighting strawman argument.</blockquote>
