[QUOTE="Lasher Dragon, post: 1999222, member: 26634"] Storm Raven - In the case of the monk being able to abundant step enemies, certainly. Other than that DM, no, I would have to say these games are more [I]fun[/I] than most. If a rule is worded inconsistently or vaguely, a good DM will always err on the side of the PCs. After all, if the DM wants a TPK (or even the death of just 1 or 2 annoying PCs :heh: ) he shouldn't have to resort to questionable RAW, he should be able to hand the PCs their collective behinds anytime he wants to. It's all about a good time in the games I play in, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Don't get me wrong, it's not all hack & slash either - I think we just make sure the PCs are heroes, and can accomplish heroic things. Most of the time we get 32-36 point stat buys. PC's bite the dust quite a bit too, seeing how almost all monsters get their HPs maxed, and most will receive a class level or 3, along with some nice magic equipment to help them in their attempts to destroy us. So I suppose it evens out in the end. It's got a few places where some would saw the RAW has been warped to better serve the PCs, but it by no means makes the game a walk in the park. [/QUOTE]
