[QUOTE="fusangite, post: 2810259, member: 7240"] Glad we're on the same page. I don't pretend my criteria or anyone else's criteria for suspension of disbelief are rational. The reason I weigh in on these monk threads is that the monk is one of the very rare instances of my standards for suspension of disbelief actually being similar to those of many others in the hobby. Usually I'm coming in right out of left field.I agree here. It's one of the reasons I can rarely start with a high-level character. If stuff like that doesn't creep up on me but is, instead, sprung on me, I have trouble with it.As you know from my other ENWorld posts, falling damage is the lynchpin for my argument about D&D physics being Aristotelian because otherwise, you're quite right, it undermines suspension of disbelief.It's never worked that way for me. But I'll probably steal this quotation of yours for the next monk thread to help explain why the monk bothers some people and not others. By the way, you should really consider coming to GenCon this year. I had really hoped to meet you last August and have been missing you around the forums. [/QUOTE]
