[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7306670, member: 97077"] And I have. Many times in many threads. I even use a lot of the same words and phrases from the Basic Rules and DMG. But it seems possible that an emotional response to an approach suggested by the DMG may be interfering with your ability to understand the argument. I present the DMG reference in hopes that someone else saying the same thing may be better received. It's not a personal attack. Your admission does, in fact, explain a lot of the posts you've made on these forums. It's useful information for all of us to know you have emotional reactions to how people you don't play D&D with run their games. It informs us how to interact with you going forward. Thank you. As I said already, someone who is good at paying attention and coming up with a good approach may be more successful over time than someone who is not good at that, especially if the former player stacks the deck in his or her favor by using an approach that speaks to the character's best bonuses and skills. But how one communicates the approach to the goal is unimportant as it applies to adjudication. It's not a vocabulary or acting contest, after all. [/QUOTE]
