I made the claim that it is becoming more acceptable to cheat, not that people are doing it more often.<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?365550-Newbies-reading-the-MM-and-DMG/page2&p=6395032&viewfull=1#post6395032" target="_blank">Acceptable</a>You spun that claim into what you wanted it to be because you do that.Also, if you actually do research, you'll find that cheating in college (done at least once) was about 30% prevalent in the '40s and 70% to 90% prevalent now. But you read one sentence in one article and think you are an expert instead of reading multiple articles. Do your research, read what people actually write, and stop misrepresenting what they do write.Oh, you mean like the behavior that rescued about two dozen villagers and face planted the Half Dragon into the dirt? I just did it smart instead of following his agenda. You thought my PC wizard was not brave to walk out in no armor and just a dagger to rescue that woman?You have a weird sense of intelligence and bravery.You are a vet. Thank you for your service.I never once said that our military was not brave. That's your spin once again on what I wrote. I wrote that they have rules and procedures in place for when a situation is too risky, and I even wrote that police and firemen would be disobeying orders in order to rush in in that same circumstance. Of course our military, police, and firemen are brave.If you and I sat down at a gaming table and shared real world stories instead of gaming stories, we'd probably be closer friends than you could imagine. Or not. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  I'm playing 5E lawful good. I could care less about earlier editions:"LG creature can be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society."The townspeople expected us to rescue that woman. We did. We rescued a lot of other NPCs. We are on a mission to rescue the Monk.This concept of "keeping your word to outlaws" is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while. The half dragon is a raider and society expects me to kick his butt. They do not expect me to keep my word to him.There's no way I'm going to handcuff my PC to keep his word with a guy who is threatening to kill an innocent person. That's beyond Lawful Stupid. Police do it all of the time. They lie through their teeth to tell a suspect things that will diffuse a situation, and yes, I have seen it first hand. That doesn't make the police Chaotic Neutral, it makes them well trained.</blockquote>
