[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 8462873, member: 6921763"] Ah, interesting take. "Don't really align" for some, I guess. Or perhaps others just don't put as much importance on closely aligning mechanics and fluff in 5e. I see where you are going here. If one insists on realism, then sure. If one accepts that there are going to be inconsistencies in the fantasy world, then no issue here. Furthermore, if one accepts that there is really no prescriptive roleplaying insisted upon in the 5e rules, then this entire concern evaporates. I certainly don't have the time or inclination to worry about it for my prep and game play. YMMV. Please provide quote and page number. Thx. Which 5e has not... unless you can provide me with a concrete quote from the rules that I somehow missed. Thankfully, your indictment of players deciding what their character thinks, says, and does (or tries to do) as "bad roleplaying" is so off base that I can't rightfully be offended by it. I hope no one else is either. [/QUOTE]
