[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5722866, member: 12460"] Jimlock, I rather like you (at least what I've seen of you on these boards), but you are taking this way too seriously and personally. So back off and cool down first of all. Second of all, if you don't think D&D is a combat-oriented game you don't have a very good grasp of the history of the game or the objectives of its designers past [I]and[/I] present. That is all I am going to say on that since it is way off-topic for this thread. Finally, how you choose to play the game is up to you. I could sit back and pretend I'm puffing a cigar, drinking gin and tonic, wearing a fancy suit and a rolex and talk like a 1920s investment broker while I play Monopoly, but that doesn't change the fact that the rules of Monopoly govern the movement of pieces around a board and fake monetary transactions between players. What the rules are designed to do and how one plays the game are completely different things. But if you and your group decides that you don't like the fact that there is a Chance card that says Advance to Boardwalk in the game, you are free to throw it out. You won't be playing Monopoly exactly according to the rules, but you'll be having a good time. I think you already have your answer on how to deal with detect magic. But take it down a notch, okay? Ease up on the hyperbole and maybe you'll get some more reasoned discussion. As it is, I think you've let this thread become enough of a flame war.A brilliant suggestion. And let's avoid thread titles with statements in all caps, exclamation points, and censored profanity. [/QUOTE]
