[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5352071, member: 28487"] I am not going to offer an interpertation of the rules, others have done that. As to the first example, I personally wish more players showed that much imagination in avoiding fights and by passing challanges. I think you should have awarded xp for it, though perhaps not have succeeded on a single roll. I also believe that if the other party members wanted to have to fight that is their business and they can settle it in character or after the session out of character and the DM has no business sticking their oar in except to keep it civil. It is not for the DM to dictate how the players overcome challanges and that absence of a fight should not prevent the introduction of the NPC. Obi Wan Kenobi introduced himself to Luke after pulling a similar trick. As for the latter thing with the purple worm, DM interpretation of the Rules is final in that session. As a DM I will listen to a short argument but no more and then I make a ruling. I am happy to discuss anything controversal after the game and perhaps come to a concensus outside play time. If the players and DM are still split then the DM makes the final ruling on what ever intrepretation the DM is most happy with. [/QUOTE]
