[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8456768, member: 23751"] You are wrong there. With 5e anyway. The design intent of 5e is to be able to play without knowing each rule down pat. If a mistake is made, so what. Move on. If nobody knows what to do, the DM should make a ruling(over rules) and not delay the game by stopping things to dig through books. Look it up later. Getting it wrong still = playing D&D, since in a rulings over rules edition like 5e, the rules are secondary. Jeremy Crawford gave an example of how he DMs. He doesn't track things closely and lets the players keep track of when to make concentration checks and such. If they forget to make one and realize it 3 rounds later, then he assumes the PC "made a successful roll" and they move on. If they get a spell wrong, well it just happened to work that way that one time due to some variance of magic or something. He's still playing D&D when running his game that way. So are you if you're fixated on getting every little thing exactly right, interrupting the game when necessary to look things up. D&D is a very robust game that can be played many different ways. I have to say, reading your posts for this short time has me convinced that you're a One True Way player and feel that how you do things is how everyone should do them. Am I wrong? [/QUOTE]
